Same-Day Emergency Dentist in Hillsboro — Call (503) 614-0198 Now
If you are in pain right now, stop reading and call (503) 614-0198. We will get you in today.
—
A tooth cracks during a lunch meeting at Intel Ronler Acres. A toothache that started Sunday turns into a sleep-stealing throb by Monday morning. A kid takes an elbow at THPRD soccer and a front tooth is on the field. These don’t wait for a normal appointment — and they don’t really belong at the ER, which will hand you ibuprofen and a referral.
We hold a 2 PM slot every weekday at 7546 NE Shaleen St specifically for walk-in emergencies. That’s the one block we deliberately don’t sell to a scheduled crown or hygiene appointment. From Intel Ronler Acres the drive is about 8 minutes off the Cornell exit; from Streets of Tanasbourne, 6. We typically see emergency walk-ins within 90 minutes — faster if you call (503) 614-0198 from the car so we can prep the operatory before you arrive.

Why Hillsboro Patients Pick East Wind for Emergencies
We Finish the Treatment in One Visit
The ER will give you ibuprofen and a referral. We do the work. Emergency root canals (NSK ProTaper Gold rotary instruments, Reciproc Blue for retreatment), surgical extractions, CEREC same-day crowns milled from a lithium-disilicate block in about 90 minutes, abscess drainage with Waterlase soft-tissue laser, and tooth reimplantation — all in-house. Honest tradeoff: severely impacted wisdom teeth still go to oral surgery referral; routine surgical cases stay here.
Three Doctors Means Less Waiting
If Dr. Ostovar is mid-CEREC mill, Dr. Gvozden takes the abscess. If both are in operatories, Dr. Youngblood handles the kid with a chipped tooth. One-dentist practices physically cannot do this — they have to reschedule a hygiene patient to fit you in.
Carestream CBCT for Hard Cases
Our Carestream 8100 cone-beam scans give 3D views of canal anatomy, sinus involvement, and fracture lines that 2D X-rays miss entirely. Most useful when a “simple” toothache turns out to be a vertical root fracture (extraction territory, not root canal) or a maxillary molar abscess pushing into the sinus.
Sedation Available Same-Day
Nitrous oxide is on every emergency operatory and adds zero appointment time. Oral conscious sedation (triazolam) needs a 60-minute pre-dose and a driver. IV sedation requires Dr. Ostovar’s anesthesia-trained team and 24-hour notice when possible — but we’ve stretched that for genuine emergencies.
What to Do Before You Come In
These first-aid steps follow the American Dental Association's MouthHealthy guidance for dental emergencies — and they really do change outcomes:
Toothache: Rinse with warm salt water. Ibuprofen (not aspirin). Cold compress. Call us.
Broken tooth: Save pieces. Rinse gently. Gauze for bleeding. Call immediately.
Knocked-out tooth: Handle by crown only. Keep in milk or saliva. Come immediately. 60-minute window.
Swelling: No heat. Ibuprofen. Call (503) 614-0198 immediately.

Knocked-Out Tooth — What to Do Right Now
A knocked-out permanent tooth is a true dental emergency. Time is critical. The window for successful reimplantation is typically 60 minutes or less.
Step-by-step — the next 5 minutes matter:
At our office: we clean the socket, reposition and splint the tooth, and arrange root canal follow-up within 1–2 weeks. Success rate depends heavily on time — under 30 minutes gives the best outcome.
For children: Do NOT reimplant knocked-out baby teeth — this can damage the developing permanent tooth underneath. Bring your child in immediately to assess for injury to the permanent tooth bud.
Dental Abscess — When to Go to the ER Instead
A dental abscess requires same-day professional care. However, go to the ER first if you experience:
These are signs the infection has spread beyond the tooth and requires immediate IV antibiotics. After ER stabilization, call us for definitive dental treatment.
For all other abscesses (swelling localized to the tooth, jaw pain, bad taste, tooth sensitivity): call (503) 614-0198 now. We drain the abscess, prescribe antibiotics, and perform the root canal or extraction to eliminate the infection source — same-day.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emergency Dentist Hillsboro
How fast can I be seen for a dental emergency in Hillsboro today?
Most Hillsboro emergencies are seen within 90 minutes. We hold a 2 PM slot every weekday specifically for walk-in dental emergencies — that one block usually gets the day’s broken tooth or sudden abscess. If 2 PM is already taken when you call, our front desk triages and either fits you between scheduled patients or asks Dr. Ostovar’s hygienist to clear a 4 PM gap. Call (503) 614-0198 from your car if you can. From Intel Ronler Acres the drive is 8 minutes off the Cornell exit; from Streets of Tanasbourne it’s about 6.
Which Hillsboro emergency dentists open on Saturday?
East Wind is open Saturday 7 AM to 12 PM and we keep that window deliberately light so emergency patients can get in. If your tooth cracked Friday night, the 7 AM Saturday slot is the one to ask for — Dr. Ostovar drinks his coffee at the office before that first appointment, so a same-day CEREC crown started at 7 can be done before noon. After 12 PM Saturday, the after-hours protocol routes your call to Dr. Ostovar’s cell.
Do Hillsboro emergency dental offices accept walk-ins?
Yes — we accept walk-ins, but call (503) 614-0198 first if you can. Walk-ins without a call wait an average of 45 minutes; called-ahead emergencies wait 10 to 15. The reason is our 2 PM daily emergency slot fills first-come on the phone, and once it’s gone the next opening is whatever gap appears between scheduled crowns and Invisalign check-ins. Most weeks we end up fitting 8 to 12 emergency walk-ins around the regular schedule. Bring photo ID, your insurance card, and a list of current medications.
What’s the after-hours emergency dental option in Hillsboro?
Our after-hours protocol routes the (503) 614-0198 line to Dr. Ostovar’s cell phone after 6 PM weekdays and after 12 PM Saturday. He won’t always answer in real time — he has three kids — but he checks voicemail every two hours. For a knocked-out permanent tooth, a still-bleeding socket, or facial swelling spreading toward the eye or throat, the answer is usually: meet him at the Shaleen Street office in 30 to 45 minutes. For everything else, we triage to a 7 AM slot the next morning.
How do Hillsboro emergency offices handle pediatric trauma?
Pediatric trauma — playground falls, bike crashes, an elbow at THPRD soccer — gets prioritized. Dr. Youngblood is our pediatric lead and is in the office Monday through Thursday; on his off days, Dr. Ostovar handles kids he’s known since they were toddlers. The 60-minute window for a knocked-out permanent tooth applies to kids the same way it does to adults. For knocked-out baby teeth (incisors, ages 5 to 7) we do NOT reimplant — that can damage the permanent tooth bud underneath. Bring the tooth in milk anyway so we can confirm it’s primary and not a fragment.
Is Tuality Hospital ER appropriate for a Hillsboro dental emergency?
For airway-threatening swelling, uncontrolled bleeding, or a suspected jaw fracture from trauma — yes, drive to Tuality first. They’re 4 minutes from us and can stabilize, image, and refer back for definitive dental work the next morning. For everything else (severe toothache, broken tooth, lost crown, even most abscesses without breathing involvement), the ER will give you ibuprofen and a referral; we’d rather you call (503) 614-0198 directly and skip the $1,800 ER bill. Honest version: in 19 years on Shaleen Street, more than 90% of patients who came from a Tuality referral could have started here first.
