How Far Is East Wind from the Ronler Acres Campus?
About 6-8 minutes via Cornelius Pass Road south to NE Cornell Road, then east to NE Shaleen St. Free parking directly in front of the office. The drive is short enough that many Intel engineers and managers fit a 7 AM cleaning in before the morning standup at 9:00.
For shifts that end mid-afternoon, our 7 AM-6 PM Tuesday window covers most workdays without an unpaid PTO hour. Saturday morning slots (7 AM-12 PM) are available by request for families that prefer not to schedule on a workday at all.
What Ages Do You See at Your Family Practice?
We see patients from their first tooth (around age 1) through retirement. Intel families especially benefit from a single-office model — one chart, one front desk, one location for the whole household. You stop juggling two sets of insurance cards and two recall systems between a pediatric office and an adult dentist.
Here is what a family schedule looks like with us:
- Ages 1-3: Knee-to-knee exam in the parent’s lap, fluoride varnish, brushing coaching with Dr. Youngblood
- Ages 3-6: First chair exams, fluoride, sealants on baby molars when appropriate
- Ages 6-12: Sealants on permanent molars, sports mouthguards, orthodontic screening around age 7
- Teens: Wisdom-tooth monitoring, Invisalign Teen, athletic mouthguards
- Adults: Cleanings, CEREC same-day crowns, implants, Invisalign for adults
- Seniors: Periodontal maintenance, denture and partial care, implant-supported options
- Family Dentistry — Main family dentistry services
- Pediatric Dentistry — Children’s dental care
- Dental Exams — Comprehensive exam appointments
- Teeth Cleaning — Routine cleaning visits
- Dental Sealants — Sealants for kids’ molars
- Fluoride Treatment — Fluoride treatment for cavity prevention

What Preventive Treatments Do You Use for Kids?
The two highest-impact preventive tools for children are dental sealants and fluoride varnish. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends both as core preventive care from the time permanent molars erupt.
Dental sealants are a thin plastic coating bonded into the deep grooves of the chewing surfaces of permanent molars. The first permanent molars come in around age 6, the second set around age 12 — sealants on both sets are one of the most cost-effective treatments in dentistry. Cost: $35-$60 per tooth, usually 100% covered by insurance for kids under 14.
Fluoride varnish strengthens enamel and reverses early decay. It is brushed on at the end of the cleaning, takes one minute, and is painless.
Combined, sealants plus regular fluoride reduce cavities in the back molars by 50-80%.
Do You Offer Dental Implants In-House?
Yes. Dr. Jovan Gvozden brings 30+ years of surgical experience from Tufts School of Dental Medicine and places dental implants in our Hillsboro office — no referral to a Portland specialist required. The entire process — CBCT 3D planning, surgical placement, healing, and final crown restoration — stays at one address with one team that knows your case history.
For Intel families dealing with a missing tooth or an old failing crown, this single-office model eliminates the back-and-forth between a surgical specialist for the implant and a general dentist for the restoration.
Do You Handle Adults Who Have Avoided the Dentist for Years?
Yes — and this is more common among long-hours tech workers than people realize. You meant to schedule a cleaning, then a sprint started, then a year went by, then five.
Your first visit back is an exam, a set of digital X-rays, and a conversation. We tell you what we see, what is urgent versus what can wait, and what realistic cost looks like phased over time. Nobody gets lectured. Nobody gets pressured into doing everything at once.
