Comprehensive Dental Services for Orenco Station Families

At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve built our practice on the principle of comprehensive, coordinated care – providing all the dental services your family needs under one roof with consistent quality, integrated treatment planning, and the personal attention you deserve.

Family and Preventive Dentistry

Outstanding oral health begins with regular preventive care, and our family dentistry services protect smiles at every stage of life. We provide comprehensive dental examinations that thoroughly evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, and complete oral health status, professional dental cleanings performed by experienced, gentle hygienists who meticulously remove harmful plaque and tartar that brushing alone cannot eliminate, digital X-rays providing detailed diagnostic images with up to 90% less radiation exposure than traditional film-based systems, thorough oral cancer screenings that can detect abnormalities in their earliest, most treatable stages, fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel and provide additional cavity protection, and protective dental sealants for children and adults with deep grooves in back teeth that are difficult to clean.

Dr. Ostovar believes patient education is the cornerstone of lasting oral health. During your visits, our team provides personalized guidance on proper brushing and flossing techniques tailored to your specific needs, dietary recommendations that support optimal oral and overall health, and customized prevention strategies to address your individual risk factors. We treat patients from early childhood through senior years, making us the ideal choice for Orenco Station families seeking one trusted dental home for everyone. Our gentle, patient-centered approach helps children develop positive associations with dental care that establish healthy habits lasting throughout their lives.

Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry

Your smile significantly impacts your confidence, professional success, and quality of life. Our comprehensive cosmetic dentistry services can transform your smile and enhance how you feel about yourself. We offer professional teeth whitening using the most advanced, effective systems available, safely brightening your smile by multiple shades. Whether you choose in-office whitening for immediate dramatic results – perfect for Orenco Station professionals preparing for job interviews, important presentations, or special life events – or custom take-home trays for gradual whitening on your own schedule, you’ll experience the confidence boost that comes with a brighter, more youthful smile.

For comprehensive smile transformations, we provide custom porcelain veneers that can simultaneously address multiple cosmetic concerns including chips, cracks, gaps, permanent discoloration, and even minor misalignment. These ultra-thin shells of premium dental ceramic are precisely bonded to the front surfaces of your visible teeth, creating a flawless, natural appearance that enhances your unique facial features. We also offer composite bonding for minor chips and imperfections, gum recontouring to improve tooth proportions and create better smile symmetry, and complete smile design consultations where Dr. Ostovar collaborates with you to design and achieve your ideal smile. Our cosmetic dentistry is recognized throughout Orenco Station for delivering beautiful, natural-looking results that enhance rather than change your appearance.

Restorative Dental Solutions

When dental damage or decay occurs, prompt, effective treatment prevents further complications and restores your smile to complete health, function, and aesthetics. We provide tooth-colored composite fillings that repair cavities while preserving the natural appearance of your teeth, dental crowns to restore severely damaged, cracked, or weakened teeth to full strength and function, dental bridges that replace one or more missing teeth by securely anchoring to adjacent teeth, and complete or partial dentures for patients with extensive tooth loss who need comprehensive restoration.

One of our most transformative, life-changing treatments is dental implants, which provide the most permanent, natural, and functional solution available for missing teeth. Dental implants are precision-engineered titanium posts that are carefully placed in your jawbone where they biologically integrate with bone tissue to serve as incredibly stable artificial tooth roots. Once fully healed and integrated, these implants support custom crowns, bridges, or dentures that look, feel, and function remarkably like natural teeth. Many Orenco Station patients choose dental implants because they preserve jawbone health and prevent the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth, don’t require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth as bridges do, provide superior chewing ability and stability compared to removable dentures, and can last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance.

Our state-of-the-art CEREC technology revolutionizes the crown and restoration experience by enabling us to complete your treatment in a single convenient appointment. Using advanced digital impressions, sophisticated computer-aided design, and precision in-office milling, we create custom crowns, inlays, and onlays while you relax in our comfortable office. No messy, uncomfortable impression materials, no temporary crowns that may be sensitive or dislodge, no need to schedule and return for a second appointment – just one efficient visit where you receive your permanent, custom restoration. This remarkable convenience is especially valued by busy Orenco Station professionals and parents who struggle to fit multiple dental appointments into demanding schedules.

Invisalign Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Achieving a beautifully straight, properly aligned smile no longer requires visible metal brackets and wires that affect your appearance and lifestyle. Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable, remarkably convenient orthodontic solution that fits seamlessly into modern life. These custom-fabricated, virtually invisible aligners use gentle, controlled force to gradually shift your teeth into ideal position through a carefully planned series of precision-engineered trays. Because the aligners are completely removable, you can eat whatever you enjoy without dietary restrictions, brush and floss normally to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout treatment, and remove them for important meetings, presentations, photographs, or special occasions when you want complete freedom.

Invisalign has become extremely popular among Orenco Station professionals and adults who want to improve their smile without the conspicuous appearance and lifestyle limitations of traditional metal braces. The clear aligners are so discreet that most people won’t notice you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment. Dr. Ostovar creates a sophisticated digital treatment plan that shows you precise projections of your final results before treatment even begins, and most cases achieve completion within 12-18 months. We offer flexible payment plans that make Invisalign affordable and accessible for Orenco Station families, and the convenience of fewer required office visits compared to traditional braces perfectly accommodates busy lifestyles.

Emergency Dental Care When You Need It

Dental emergencies cause significant pain, stress, and worry, but East Wind Dental Care provides expert, compassionate help when urgent problems arise. Our emergency dentist services offer same-day appointments for Orenco Station patients experiencing severe toothaches that disrupt eating, sleeping, or daily activities and quality of life, broken, chipped, or fractured teeth from accidents, falls, sports injuries, or biting hard objects, knocked-out teeth where immediate professional treatment can make the critical difference between saving and losing the tooth permanently, lost fillings or crowns that leave vulnerable tooth structure exposed to sensitivity and additional damage, dental abscesses and serious infections that can become dangerous health threats if not promptly treated, and soft tissue injuries affecting the gums, lips, tongue, or cheeks from trauma or accidents.

When you contact our office with a dental emergency, we immediately prioritize your situation and work diligently to accommodate you the same day, often within just a few hours of your call. Our experienced, caring team provides immediate professional guidance on protective steps to take and pain management strategies while you’re traveling to our office. Dr. Ostovar performs a comprehensive examination to accurately diagnose the problem and assess the full extent of damage or infection, discusses all available treatment options clearly and thoroughly, and develops an effective plan to resolve the emergency and prevent future complications. We always strive to save natural teeth whenever clinically feasible and ensure you leave our office comfortable, pain-free, and completely confident in your treatment plan.

Specialized Advanced Procedures

For complex dental needs beyond routine care, our practice offers specialized treatments including advanced root canal therapy using modern techniques and technology that maximize patient comfort and treatment success rates, comprehensive periodontal treatment and ongoing maintenance programs for gum disease at all stages, wisdom teeth evaluation and extraction when necessary to prevent crowding, damage, or infection, TMJ/TMD therapy for jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, chronic headaches, or restricted movement, custom-fitted sleep apnea appliances that provide effective alternatives to CPAP machines, and comprehensive full mouth reconstruction for patients requiring extensive, coordinated treatment to restore complete oral health and function. Our broad clinical capabilities reduce the need for referrals to multiple specialists and ensure continuity of care with a team you know, trust, and feel comfortable with.

Why Orenco Station Residents Choose East Wind Dental Care

Orenco Station residents have access to multiple dental practices, yet many choose to make East Wind Dental Care their dental home. Here’s why we’ve earned the trust, loyalty, and enthusiastic referrals of so many Orenco Station families and professionals.

Dr. Ostovar’s Clinical Excellence and Dedication

Dr. Merat Ostovar brings an exceptional combination of advanced education, extensive hands-on clinical experience, and genuine passion for dentistry to every patient interaction. He has invested hundreds of hours in continuing education beyond dental school, consistently remaining at the forefront of emerging techniques, technologies, and evidence-based best practices in modern dentistry. His clinical expertise encompasses all aspects of dental care, from preventive and family dentistry to complex procedures including dental implant placement, comprehensive smile reconstructions, and advanced cosmetic transformations.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Ostovar among Orenco Station patients is his approach to patient relationships and care. He invests substantial time to listen carefully and attentively to your concerns, understand your goals and priorities, and develop highly personalized treatment plans that align with your needs, preferences, timeline, and budget. Patients consistently praise his exceptionally gentle technique, clear and thorough explanations provided in understandable terms, genuine concern for their comfort and overall wellbeing, and the outstanding clinical results he consistently achieves. He treats every patient like a valued member of his own family, and this authentic philosophy shines through in the lasting, multi-generational relationships he has built with Orenco Station families who trust him completely with their dental care.

State-of-the-Art Dental Technology

Advanced dental technology represents far more than impressive equipment – it enables more accurate diagnoses, more precise and conservative treatments, superior long-term outcomes, and significantly enhanced patient comfort throughout every aspect of care. Our substantial investment in cutting-edge dental technology directly benefits every patient we serve.

Our CEREC system represents a revolutionary advancement in modern restorative dentistry. This sophisticated technology enables us to design, fabricate, and place custom dental crowns, inlays, and onlays in a single appointment without temporary restorations or return visits. Using comfortable digital impressions instead of messy, unpleasant traditional impression materials, we create highly precise 3D models of your prepared tooth and surrounding dentition. Dr. Ostovar then uses advanced CAD software to meticulously design a restoration that perfectly matches your bite, adjacent teeth, and aesthetic preferences. The completed design is wirelessly transmitted to our in-office precision milling unit, which carves your custom restoration from a solid block of premium, highly durable dental ceramic while you wait comfortably – typically in about one hour. Most Orenco Station patients express genuine amazement that they can arrive with a damaged tooth and depart just 2-3 hours later with a completed, permanent, beautiful restoration.

Our digital radiography system delivers remarkably detailed diagnostic images while exposing patients to up to 90% less radiation than traditional film-based X-rays – an important safety advantage particularly for children and patients requiring frequent imaging. High-resolution images appear instantly on chairside monitors, eliminating processing delays and enabling Dr. Ostovar to review and discuss findings with you in real time during your appointment. The superior image quality and digital enhancement capabilities help identify potential problems in their earliest stages when treatment is most conservative, least invasive, and most cost-effective.

For complex procedures like dental implant placement, wisdom teeth extraction, and TMJ disorder evaluation, our advanced 3D cone beam imaging provides comprehensive, three-dimensional visualization of your complete jaw structure including bone density and quality, precise nerve and sinus locations, and other critical anatomical features. This sophisticated imaging technology enables Dr. Ostovar to plan procedures with exceptional precision and safety, significantly improving predictability and optimizing long-term clinical outcomes.

Patient-Centered Care Philosophy

From your very first phone contact through every subsequent visit and interaction, you’ll experience our deep, unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. Our friendly, welcoming front desk team greets patients by name and works diligently to accommodate your scheduling preferences and needs. We respect your valuable time by maintaining efficient schedules and starting appointments promptly as scheduled. Our knowledgeable treatment coordinators provide clear, detailed, completely transparent cost estimates and help you navigate insurance benefits and financing options without any pressure or hidden fees. We never push patients into treatment decisions – instead, we thoroughly educate you about all available options and supportively respect whatever choices you make.

For patients experiencing dental anxiety or fear, we offer multiple proven sedation options including nitrous oxide for mild to moderate relaxation and oral conscious sedation for deeper relaxation during more extensive procedures. Our treatment rooms are thoughtfully designed for maximum comfort with amenities including warm blankets, supportive neck pillows, noise-canceling headphones, and entertainment options to help you relax. Many Orenco Station patients tell us they’re genuinely surprised to find themselves actually looking forward to dental visits because of the welcoming, stress-free, supportive environment we’ve intentionally created.

This thorough, comprehensive new patient visit provides everything needed to completely assess your current oral health status and establish a detailed baseline for your ongoing care and treatment planning. Dr. Ostovar performs an extensive examination carefully evaluating your teeth for any signs of decay, damage, or structural concerns, your gums for indicators of disease or inflammation, your bite alignment and jaw joint function, and your complete oral health including thorough oral cancer screening. We capture necessary digital X-rays to identify issues not visible during visual examination alone, including cavities between teeth, bone loss from periodontal disease, impacted wisdom teeth, and other concerns requiring attention. Our skilled, gentle hygienist provides a professional cleaning to remove accumulated plaque and tartar buildup that daily brushing and flossing alone cannot eliminate, and polishes your teeth to a brilliant, healthy shine.

Beyond the important clinical procedures, your new patient visit represents a valuable opportunity for us to get to know you as an individual with unique needs, concerns, and goals.

Advanced Technology Enhancing Care and Comfort

Technology plays an increasingly vital role in modern dentistry, enabling more accurate diagnoses, more precise and minimally invasive treatments, superior clinical outcomes, and significantly enhanced patient comfort throughout every aspect of dental care. At East Wind Dental Care, we’ve made substantial ongoing investments in advanced dental technology that directly benefits every patient we have the privilege and honor to serve.

CEREC Same-Day Dental Restorations

Our CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) system has fundamentally transformed and revolutionized the experience of receiving dental crowns, inlays, and onlays for our Orenco Station patients. Traditional crown procedures typically require uncomfortable, messy impression materials, wearing a temporary crown that may be sensitive, feel awkward, or even come loose for two to three weeks, and scheduling and returning for a second appointment for final crown placement and adjustment. With our advanced CEREC technology, we complete the entire restoration process from start to finish in a single convenient appointment.

The streamlined, efficient procedure begins with comfortable digital scanning using a small handheld wand that captures precise, highly accurate three-dimensional images of your prepared tooth and surrounding teeth and bite. No messy, unpleasant impression materials are needed. Dr. Ostovar then uses sophisticated CAD software to meticulously design your custom restoration with careful attention to proper fit, optimal bite alignment and function, and natural aesthetic appearance that blends seamlessly with your existing teeth. The completed design is transmitted wirelessly to our precision in-office milling unit, which accurately carves your restoration from a solid block of premium, highly durable dental ceramic in approximately one hour while you relax comfortably in our office. The finished restoration is then carefully refined, polished to a beautiful natural luster, and permanently bonded to your tooth using advanced adhesive technology.

Most Orenco Station patients express genuine amazement and appreciation that they can arrive at our office with a damaged, painful, or unsightly tooth and leave just 2-3 hours later with a completed, permanent, beautiful restoration that looks and functions exactly like a natural tooth. The remarkable convenience of same-day treatment is especially valuable for busy professionals and parents who find it extremely challenging to schedule multiple appointments around demanding work schedules, childcare responsibilities, and other commitments.

Digital Radiography and 3D Imaging

Our state-of-the-art digital X-ray system provides exceptionally detailed, high-resolution diagnostic images while exposing patients to up to 90% less radiation than traditional film-based X-ray systems – an important safety advantage especially valuable for children and patients requiring frequent imaging over time. The crystal-clear images appear instantly on computer monitors in our treatment rooms, completely eliminating processing delays and enabling Dr. Ostovar to review and thoroughly explain findings with you immediately during your appointment. The superior image quality and advanced digital enhancement capabilities help identify potential problems in their earliest stages when treatment is most conservative, minimally invasive, and cost-effective.

For complex procedures including dental implant placement, wisdom teeth extraction, evaluation of TMJ disorders, and assessment of impacted teeth or other concerns, our advanced 3D cone beam imaging provides comprehensive, detailed three-dimensional visualization of your complete jaw and facial structure, teeth positions and orientations, sinuses, and critical nerve pathways. This sophisticated imaging technology enables Dr. Ostovar to plan procedures with exceptional precision, accuracy, and safety, significantly improving predictability and optimizing long-term clinical outcomes. The technology proves particularly valuable for implant cases, allowing detailed evaluation of bone quality and quantity and optimal positioning to achieve both superior function and natural aesthetics.

Sedation Dentistry for Anxious Patients

Dental anxiety and fear are remarkably common experiences that should never prevent you from receiving the care you need to maintain optimal oral health and overall wellbeing. We offer multiple proven, effective sedation options to ensure your complete comfort regardless of your anxiety level or the complexity of your needed treatment.

Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, provides mild to moderate relaxation and significant anxiety reduction while allowing you to remain fully conscious, aware, and responsive throughout your procedure. The pleasant, calming effects wear off quickly after the gas is discontinued, allowing you to drive yourself home safely and immediately return to normal daily activities without any lingering effects or impairment.

For patients with moderate to severe dental anxiety or those undergoing more extensive, time-consuming procedures, oral conscious sedation creates a deeper state of relaxation and calm. You take prescribed medication approximately one hour before your scheduled appointment that makes you pleasantly drowsy and deeply relaxed while still remaining responsive to Dr. Ostovar’s gentle instructions and guidance. Most patients report having little to no memory of the procedure afterward, which is especially beneficial for those with significant anxiety. You’ll need to arrange for a responsible adult to drive you to and from your appointment and should plan to rest comfortably at home for the remainder of the day while the medication effects completely wear off.

Dr. Ostovar will discuss your individual anxiety level, complete medical history, specific concerns, and planned treatment in detail to recommend the sedation option that’s most appropriate and effective for your particular situation and needs.

Insurance, Financing, and Payment Options

Quality dental care should be accessible to everyone regardless of insurance status or current budget constraints. East Wind Dental Care works collaboratively and compassionately with Orenco Station patients to make necessary and desired treatment affordable and manageable through comprehensive insurance support and multiple flexible financing options.

Maximizing Dental Insurance Benefits

We gladly accept most PPO dental insurance plans and serve as in-network providers for many major carriers serving the Orenco Station and greater Portland area. Our experienced, highly knowledgeable billing specialists thoroughly understand the complexities and nuances of dental insurance and work diligently and persistently to maximize your benefits and minimize your out-of-pocket expenses. We verify your specific coverage details before your appointment, providing accurate, detailed estimates of what your insurance will cover and what your personal financial responsibility will be, ensuring you’re never surprised by unexpected costs or bills.

We handle all insurance claim filing electronically on your behalf, managing the paperwork, necessary follow-up communications, and any issues that arise to ensure timely and accurate payment. If we’re considered out-of-network for your specific insurance plan, we’ll still gladly file claims and help you receive maximum reimbursement according to your plan’s out-of-network benefit provisions. Our primary goal is to remove the stress, confusion, and frustration commonly associated with dealing with dental insurance so you can focus entirely on your oral health and treatment.

CareCredit Healthcare Financing

For treatments not fully covered by dental insurance or for patients without current dental coverage, we offer convenient, flexible financing through CareCredit, one of the nation’s largest and most trusted healthcare credit cards. CareCredit provides multiple payment plan options with various term lengths, including promotional periods with reduced or even zero interest for qualified applicants, making significant treatments affordable and financially accessible.

This valuable financing option allows you to proceed with recommended or desired treatment immediately while spreading the cost over manageable monthly payments that fit comfortably within your household budget and financial situation. Whether you need a single crown, multiple dental implants, a complete cosmetic smile makeover, or extensive restorative treatment, CareCredit makes it financially feasible and stress-free. Our helpful, friendly staff can assist you in applying right here in our office, with approval decisions typically provided within just minutes. The simple, straightforward application process doesn’t affect your credit score unless you’re approved and choose to accept the offered credit line.

In-House Membership Plan

For Orenco Station patients and families without dental insurance coverage, our popular, affordable in-house membership plan provides a hassle-free way to maintain excellent oral health without the expense and complications of traditional insurance. Members pay a reasonable annual fee and receive comprehensive preventive care including regular examinations, professional cleanings, and all necessary X-rays, plus significant discounts on additional treatments including fillings, crowns, cosmetic procedures, and more.

The membership plan completely eliminates the common hassles of insurance including confusing claims paperwork, frustrating waiting periods, restrictive annual maximums that limit necessary care, and coverage limitations that prevent optimal treatment. You receive transparent, completely predictable costs and consistent, high-quality care from a team that knows you, your history, and your individual needs well. The plan offers particularly strong value for families, with attractive discounted rates when multiple family members enroll together.

Our friendly, helpful financial coordinator is always happy to meet with you personally to explain all available payment options in detail and help you choose the approach that best fits your individual financial situation and treatment needs. We firmly believe that financial concerns should never prevent anyone from receiving necessary dental care, and we’re genuinely committed to working with you to find workable, comfortable solutions.

Patient Success Stories from Orenco Station

Rachel M., Orenco Station

“I’ve lived in Orenco Station for five years and tried two other local dentists before discovering East Wind Dental Care. What an incredible difference! Dr. Ostovar is genuinely skilled, thorough, gentle, and clearly passionate about his work. I needed extensive cosmetic work including veneers on my front teeth, and the transformation has been absolutely life-changing. My smile looks natural and beautiful – friends ask if I had orthodontics. The CEREC technology is impressive too – I got a crown done in one visit with no temporary. The office is just a quick drive from my townhome near the MAX station, and everyone on the staff is professional and genuinely friendly. I finally found my permanent dental home.”

Michael and Sarah T., Cornell Road

“Our family of five has been seeing Dr. Ostovar for three years now and we couldn’t be happier with the care we receive. He’s wonderful with our kids – even our anxious 8-year-old actually looks forward to appointments now because they make it fun and stress-free. I recently completed Invisalign treatment and my teeth are perfectly straight for the first time in my life. My husband needed two dental implants and the results are remarkable – you truly can’t tell they’re not his natural teeth. We live on Cornell Road and the office is maybe 7 minutes away. The technology, the expertise, and the genuine care we receive make East Wind our dental practice for life.”

James K., Orenco Station Professional

“As someone who commutes to downtown Portland via MAX and works long hours, convenience and efficiency are crucial for me. East Wind Dental Care checks every box. They offer early appointments before I catch my train, they run on time so I’m never late for work, and the same-day CEREC crowns are perfect for my schedule. When I cracked a tooth badly on a Friday, they fit me in that afternoon and completed a crown in one visit. Dr. Ostovar is clearly an expert who uses the most advanced technology available. The entire staff respects my time and provides consistently excellent care. The short drive from Orenco Station is nothing compared to the quality and convenience I receive.”

The Chen Family, Orenco Station

“Finding a dentist who could care for our entire multi-generational family – from our young children to my elderly parents – was challenging until we found Dr. Ostovar. He provides outstanding care for all ages with patience, skill, and genuine kindness. Our kids love going to the dentist because the staff makes it fun and rewarding. My father needed extensive work including dentures, and Dr. Ostovar created ones that fit comfortably and look completely natural. I got professional whitening before my sister’s wedding and the results were stunning. We live in Orenco Station and appreciate having such an exceptional dental practice just minutes from home. We recommend Dr. Ostovar to everyone we know.”

What is CEREC same-day crown technology?

Do you treat children?

Yes, we provide comprehensive family dentistry for all ages, from young children through seniors. Dr. Ostovar and our team have extensive experience with children and create positive dental experiences that build healthy habits for life. We’re gentle, patient, and make dental visits fun for kids. Many Orenco Station families choose us because everyone can receive excellent care in one trusted location.

Is Invisalign available for adults?

Definitely. Invisalign is an excellent option for adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and special occasions, and more comfortable than traditional braces. Treatment typically takes 12-18 months, and we offer flexible payment plans. Dr. Ostovar creates a digital treatment plan showing projected results before you begin.

What sedation options are available?

We offer multiple sedation options for different anxiety levels. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) provides mild relaxation while allowing you to drive yourself home. Oral conscious sedation creates deeper relaxation for patients with significant anxiety or extensive procedures – you’ll need a driver for this option. Dr. Ostovar will discuss your anxiety level and recommend the best option for you.

Do you offer teeth whitening?

Yes, we offer professional teeth whitening using advanced, effective systems. We provide both in-office whitening for immediate dramatic results and custom take-home trays for gradual whitening on your schedule. Professional whitening is significantly more effective and safer than over-the-counter products and can brighten your smile by several shades.

What are your office hours?

We offer flexible hours to accommodate busy schedules, including early morning appointments, evening appointments, and select Saturday availability. When you call to schedule at (503) 614-0198, our staff will work with you to find a convenient appointment time that fits your schedule.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card if you have coverage, a list of any medications you’re currently taking, and information about any dental concerns or goals. If transferring from another dentist, we can request your records, but it’s not required. Arrive about 10 minutes early to complete paperwork comfortably.
