Why South Hillsboro Families Choose East Wind Dental Care
South Hillsboro’s new-construction neighborhoods — Reed’s Crossing, Brookwood, and the developments along SE Cornelius Pass Road — are attracting thousands of young families and professionals. Many are moving from out of state or from other parts of the Portland metro area and need to establish a new dental home quickly.
East Wind Dental Care has served the greater Hillsboro community since 2006. We understand what new residents need: a practice that accepts most insurance plans, provides a wide range of services so your family does not have to be referred to multiple specialists, and makes scheduling easy — including Saturday appointments.
A Three-Doctor Team with Deep Expertise
When you choose East Wind Dental Care, you are not limited to a single dentist’s schedule or skillset. Our practice features three experienced providers:
- Dr. Merat Ostovar, DMD, FAGD — Practice founder with over 15 years of experience. Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Advanced training in dental implants, CEREC same-day crowns, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, and sleep apnea treatment.
- Dr. Jovan Gvozden, DMD — Over 30 years of clinical experience, including advanced training in oral and maxillofacial surgery from Tufts University. Handles complex extractions, bone grafting, and surgical implant placement.
- Dr. Derek Youngblood, DMD — Oregon Health & Science University graduate specializing in preventive care, family dentistry, and restorative treatments.
- Pediatric dentistry for children starting at age one
- Dental sealants and fluoride treatments to protect growing teeth
- Dental exams and cleanings for teens and adults
- Family block scheduling so everyone is seen during a single visit
- Patient, kid-friendly approach with sedation options for anxious young patients
- Dental fillings using tooth-colored composite resin
- Dental crowns and bridges — including same-day CEREC crowns fabricated and placed in a single visit
- Root canal therapy to save infected teeth
- Inlays and onlays for moderate tooth damage
- Full-mouth reconstruction for patients who need comprehensive restoration
- Single-tooth implants to replace one missing tooth
- Multiple-tooth implants with implant-supported bridges
- All-on-4 full-arch dental implants — a permanent, fixed alternative to traditional dentures
- Implant-supported dentures for patients who want more stability than removable dentures
- In-house bone grafting and sinus lift procedures when additional bone support is needed
- Professional teeth whitening
- Porcelain veneers
- Dental bonding
- Smile design consultations
- Gummy smile correction
This team structure means more appointment availability, broader in-house capabilities, and shorter referral chains. Most dental needs — from your child’s sealants to your grandparent’s implant-supported dentures — are handled entirely in our office.
Full-Service Dental Care for Every Stage of Life
Family & Pediatric Dentistry
Moving to a new neighborhood means enrolling kids in a new school — and finding a new dentist. We make it easy:
Whether your child is 18 months old or your teenager needs an orthodontic evaluation, our team is equipped to help.
Preventive & General Dentistry
Preventive care is the most cost-effective way to maintain a healthy smile over a lifetime. Our preventive care program includes comprehensive exams with digital X-rays, professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, periodontal evaluations, and customized home care guidance. For patients at higher risk of cavities or gum disease, we may recommend more frequent visits — typically every three to four months instead of the standard six.
Restorative Dentistry
When teeth are damaged by decay, injury, or wear, our restorative services return them to full function and appearance:
Dental Implants & All-on-4
Missing teeth affect eating, speaking, and self-confidence. Our three-doctor team provides the full range of implant solutions:
With 3D CBCT imaging and guided surgical planning, Dr. Ostovar, Dr. Gvozden, and Dr. Youngblood all place implants with precision and predictability. Most implant patients complete their entire treatment at our office without outside referrals.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Crooked or crowded teeth? Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet, comfortable alternative to traditional braces for teens and adults. Dr. Ostovar uses 3D iTero scanning to plan each case digitally and show you projected results before treatment begins. See our Invisalign cost and financing page for pricing information and payment options.
Cosmetic Dentistry
South Hillsboro families and young professionals invest in their homes — and in their smiles. Our cosmetic dentistry services include:
Emergency Dental Care
Dental emergencies happen without warning. A toothache that wakes you at 3 a.m., a child who chips a tooth on the playground, a crown that comes loose during dinner — these situations require prompt care. Call (503) 614-0198 for a same-day emergency appointment. We reserve time each day for urgent patients and will work to see you as quickly as possible.
Sedation Dentistry
If dental anxiety has kept you from getting the care you need, our sedation dentistry options — nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation — ensure you can receive treatment comfortably and without stress.
Sleep Apnea & TMJ Treatment
Snoring, daytime fatigue, or jaw pain may indicate a treatable condition. We provide custom oral appliance therapy for sleep apnea and comprehensive TMJ/TMD treatment to address these quality-of-life concerns.

Why Drive 12 Minutes? The Advantage of a Full-Service Practice
While South Hillsboro has a growing retail and medical presence, the neighborhood does not yet have a dental practice with the full scope of services that East Wind Dental Care provides. Rather than visiting one office for cleanings, another for implants, a third for oral surgery, and a fourth for Invisalign, you can handle everything at one practice with one team who knows your entire dental history.
That 12-minute drive saves you time, money, and the hassle of coordinating between multiple offices.
Insurance, Financing & the VIP Membership Plan
We work with most major dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Moda, Cigna, Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, and many others. Our team verifies your benefits before your appointment.
No dental insurance? Our VIP Membership Plan is designed for patients without coverage. Pay $50 or more, and 100% of that payment is credited toward future dental treatment. VIP members also receive 15% off all treatment fees. It is not insurance — it is a transparent, no-commitment way to make dental care affordable.
For larger treatments like implants, crowns, or Invisalign, we offer financing through CareCredit, Sunbit, and Cherry Health with low monthly payments.
Multilingual Care
Our team speaks English, Spanish, Persian, and Bosnian. South Hillsboro’s diverse community deserves a dental practice where language is never a barrier to understanding your diagnosis, treatment options, and care instructions. Learn more about our multilingual services.
