Cosmetic Dentist for Tanasbourne Patients | East Wind Dental Care
The cosmetic conversations Tanasbourne patients start with us cluster around a few realities: Intel video calls and Nike presentations expose your smile under harsh ring-light conditions; the front-tooth chip from biting into something hard at the Streets of Tanasbourne food court has been bugging you since last quarter; Stumptown coffee and Sunday red wine finally caught up to your enamel. East Wind Dental Care is 8 minutes from Tanasbourne Town Center via Cornell Road — Dr. Merat Ostovar (DMD, FAGD) has placed several thousand IPS e.max lithium-disilicate veneers in 19 years on Shaleen Street, runs ZOOM in-office whitening on a calibrated 22% hydrogen peroxide protocol, and uses Digital Smile Design software so you preview your projected outcome before any tooth is touched.
Honest tradeoff: e.max veneers are irreversible — they require removing 0.3 to 0.7 mm of front-tooth enamel — so for minor chips or single-tooth color mismatches we recommend composite bonding first as a reversible test. The full cosmetic toolkit is available in-house: veneers, whitening, bonding, smile design, Waterlase laser gum contouring, CEREC same-day porcelain crowns, and Invisalign for cosmetic alignment.

What Makes Us the Right Choice for Tanasbourne Cosmetic Patients
8 minutes from Tanasbourne Town Center
Cornell Road west, 4 traffic lights, right onto NE Shaleen. Light traffic outside the 7:30-9 AM commute. Free parking directly in front. The drive is easier than the parking situation at most downtown Portland cosmetic offices.
Professional-friendly hours for Intel and Nike workers
Tuesday late day until 6 PM with cosmetic consultation slots held at 5:00 and 5:30 PM. Saturday mornings 7 AM to noon for prep and placement appointments that can’t fit a workday. Lunch-hour 12 PM slots fit a 90-minute Intel Ronler Acres lunch block (8 min there + 60 min consult + 8 min return).
IPS e.max lithium-disilicate veneers
The standard of care in cosmetic dentistry for the last decade — stronger than feldspathic porcelain, more translucent than zirconia, lifelike under any lighting condition. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry describes veneers as one of the most predictable treatments for chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and minor misalignment. Lifespan: 10 to 20 years with reasonable care and a custom night guard if you grind.
Digital Smile Design — preview before commitment
Dr. Ostovar imports your photos into Digital Smile Design software and shows you a simulation of your projected outcome on the chairside monitor. Adjust shade, length, shape, midline. If the simulation doesn’t match what you envisioned, we adjust the plan or recommend a different approach. No tooth is touched until you approve.
CEREC same-day porcelain crowns
For cases combining cosmetic and restorative work — a broken back tooth that also affects how your smile looks when laughing — Dr. Ostovar designs, mills, and bonds a permanent porcelain crown in about two hours. No temporary, no second visit.
Waterlase soft-tissue laser for gum contouring
Reshape an asymmetric gum line, lengthen short-looking teeth, or correct a gummy smile in a single visit. Almost no bleeding, no sutures, 3-to-5-day recovery instead of 2 weeks for traditional gingivectomy.

Insurance and Financing for Tanasbourne Patients
Most cosmetic procedures (veneers, professional whitening, aesthetic bonding) are not covered by dental insurance because they’re considered elective. When the procedure also restores function — bonding to repair a fractured tooth, a crown that replaces a failed filling, gum contouring tied to perio treatment — partial coverage often applies. We’re in-network with Delta Dental, Moda, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, and Guardian and we verify your benefits in writing before scheduling.
Financing: CareCredit (0% interest for 6-24 months on qualifying balances), Sunbit (24-60 month payment plans), Cherry Health Pay-Over-Time, HSA and FSA funds eligible. Our <strong>VIP Membership Plan</strong> is $299/year for adults and $199/year for children — members get 15% off all treatment, which on a $12,000-$18,000 smile makeover saves $1,800-$2,700.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cosmetic Dentist for Tanasbourne
What is the difference between veneers and Lumineers for Tanasbourne patients?
IPS e.max porcelain veneers (what we use at East Wind) are 0.5 to 0.7 mm thick lithium-disilicate restorations that require removing 0.3 to 0.7 mm of front-tooth enamel — irreversible but they hide significant color, shape, and minor alignment issues, last 10 to 20 years, and look like real teeth under any lighting. Lumineers are a brand of ultra-thin (0.2 to 0.3 mm) feldspathic porcelain veneers marketed as ‘no-prep’ — they require minimal enamel removal but mask much less, often leaving teeth looking bulky or opaque. For Tanasbourne professionals on camera in Intel video calls, we recommend e.max veneers in almost every case. Cost in 2026: $1,100 to $2,500 per tooth for e.max.
Can a Tanasbourne cosmetic dentist do gum reshaping for a gummy smile?
Yes. We use the Waterlase soft-tissue laser for cosmetic gum contouring. The laser cauterizes as it cuts so there’s almost no bleeding, no scalpel, no sutures, and recovery is 3 to 5 days versus 2 weeks for traditional scalpel gingivectomy. Cost: $300 to $1,500 depending on scope. Most cases are done same-visit during the veneer prep appointment so Tanasbourne patients only travel once.
What can I realistically expect from a cosmetic before-and-after?
Realistic, not Photoshopped. Dr. Ostovar uses Digital Smile Design software at the consultation to produce a simulation of your projected outcome from your own photos — you see exactly what 6-8 e.max veneers would look like on your face before any tooth is touched. The simulation accounts for your facial proportions, lip line, and skin tone so the final teeth look natural for you, not generic. We also have a chairside library of anonymized before-and-after photos.
How is cosmetic dentistry financed for Tanasbourne patients?
Most cosmetic procedures aren’t covered by insurance because they’re considered elective. When the procedure also restores function, partial coverage often applies. Financing: CareCredit (0% for 6-24 months), Sunbit (24-60 months), Cherry Health, HSA/FSA accepted. Our VIP Membership Plan is $299/year for adults and $199/year for children — 15% off all treatment, which on a $12,000-$18,000 smile makeover saves $1,800-$2,700.
How long does a smile makeover take from consult to final result?
A typical 6-to-8-veneer smile makeover for Tanasbourne patients runs 3 to 5 weeks from consultation to final placement: initial consult with Digital Smile Design preview (60 minutes); ZOOM whitening of lower teeth to set target shade (optional); veneer prep + temporaries (2-3 hours); final IPS e.max placement (90 minutes, 2-3 weeks later). For full smile reconstruction adding Invisalign first, plan 4 to 8 months total.
Is composite bonding a cheaper alternative to veneers for chips?
Yes. For minor chips, single-tooth color correction, or closing small diastemas, composite bonding is the right first call — not veneers. Cost: $150 to $500 per tooth vs. $1,100-$2,500 for veneers. Time: 30-60 minutes per tooth, single visit. Tradeoff: bonding lasts 5-7 years vs. 10-20 for porcelain. For Tanasbourne patients on a tighter budget or wanting a reversible test before committing to veneer prep, this is usually where we start.
Are evening cosmetic consultations available for Intel and Nike professionals?
Tuesday is our late day — open until 6 PM with cosmetic consultation slots specifically held at 5:00 and 5:30 PM for Tanasbourne professionals. The 8-minute drive from Streets of Tanasbourne via Cornell Road is light at 5 PM going west. Lunch-hour 12 PM slots also fit a 90-minute Intel Ronler Acres lunch block. Saturday morning consultations 7 AM to noon also available.
