Premier Dentist Near Intel Campuses

Your Trusted Dental Partner Serving Intel Corporation Employees

Aloha Modern Dentistry, led by Dr. Merat Ostovar, has proudly served the Intel community in Hillsboro, Oregon for years. Located just minutes from the Jones Farm, Ronler Acres, and Hawthorn Farm campuses, our practice specializes in providing convenient, comprehensive dental care tailored to the busy schedules of semiconductor engineers, technology professionals, and their families.

Working at Intel Corporation means contributing to some of the most innovative semiconductor technology in the world. Whether you're designing next-generation processors at Jones Farm, working in the advanced D1X fabrication facility at Ronler Acres, or supporting critical operations at Hawthorn Farm, your demanding career requires a dental practice that respects your time and provides exceptional care without disrupting your workday.

Dr. Ostovar understands the unique needs of Intel employees. Many of our patients work in cleanroom environments, maintain shift schedules, or travel frequently for business. We've designed our practice operations around these realities by offering early morning appointments starting at 7:00 AM, efficient lunch-hour scheduling, same-day emergency care, and advanced technology that minimizes the number of visits required for complex procedures.

Maximizing Your Intel Dental Insurance Benefits

Intel Corporation provides industry-leading employee benefits, including comprehensive dental coverage through Delta Dental PPO and Premier networks. Most Intel employees receive generous annual maximums ranging from $1,500 to $2,500 per person, with excellent coverage tiers for different treatment categories. However, many employees don't fully understand or utilize these valuable benefits, leaving money on the table each calendar year.

As an in-network provider with Delta Dental, Aloha Modern Dentistry accepts assignment directly from your insurance carrier. This means we bill Delta Dental on your behalf and accept their negotiated fee schedules as payment in full (minus your deductible and coinsurance). Our experienced billing specialists verify your exact Intel benefits before treatment begins, providing transparent cost estimates so there are never surprises when the bill arrives.

Here's how typical Intel dental insurance coverage breaks down:

• Preventive Care (100% Coverage): Regular dental cleanings every six months, comprehensive oral examinations, routine X-rays including bitewings and panoramic films, fluoride treatments for cavity prevention, and oral cancer screenings. These services typically require no out-of-pocket payment beyond any applicable deductible.
• Basic Restorative Care (80% Coverage): Tooth-colored composite fillings for cavities, simple tooth extractions, periodontal scaling and root planing for gum disease treatment, and emergency palliative care. Intel usually covers 80% of these procedures after meeting your deductible.
• Major Restorative Care (50% Coverage): Dental crowns, bridges, dentures, root canal therapy, dental implants, and complex oral surgery. Intel typically covers 50% of major procedures, with the remaining balance as your patient responsibility.
• Orthodontic Coverage: Many Intel plans include lifetime orthodontic benefits for dependent children up to age 19 or 26, typically covering 50% of treatment costs up to a lifetime maximum of $1,500-$2,000. Some plans now extend limited adult orthodontic benefits.

One strategic tip our financial coordinators share with Intel employees: if you need major dental work like a crown, bridge, or implant, consider timing the treatment to maximize your annual benefits. For example, if you've already used most of this year's maximum, we can often stage treatment so preparation occurs in December and final restoration in January, utilizing two separate benefit years.

Comprehensive Dental Services for Technology Professionals

Aloha Modern Dentistry provides a complete spectrum of dental care designed to meet the diverse needs of Intel employees and their families. Dr. Merat Ostovar completed his dental education at Oregon Health & Science University School of Dentistry and maintains active continuing education in advanced procedures including implant dentistry, cosmetic smile design, and orthodontics. Our practice philosophy centers on conservative, evidence-based treatment that preserves natural tooth structure whenever possible while leveraging modern technology for optimal outcomes.

Preventive Dentistry: The Foundation of Oral Health

Preventive care remains the cornerstone of maintaining excellent oral health throughout your life. Regular six-month checkups allow Dr. Ostovar to identify potential problems like early cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer in their most treatable stages. Comprehensive preventive services include professional dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that brushing misses, detailed oral examinations checking teeth, gums, and soft tissues, digital X-rays using sensor technology that reduces radiation exposure by 90% compared to traditional film, oral cancer screenings using VELscope technology, fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel, and customized oral hygiene instruction.

For Intel employees, preventive care is particularly important because your dental insurance typically covers these services at 100% with no out-of-pocket costs beyond any deductible. Many patients don't realize that consistent preventive care actually saves money long-term by avoiding expensive restorative treatments for problems that could have been caught early. A small cavity detected during a routine exam might require only a simple filling covered at 80%, while waiting until you have severe pain often means needing a root canal and crown covered at only 50%.

We also customize preventive recommendations based on your individual risk factors. Patients who work long shifts, consume energy drinks or coffee throughout the day, experience dry mouth, or have a history of cavities may benefit from additional fluoride treatments, prescription-strength toothpaste, or more frequent cleaning intervals every 3-4 months instead of six months.

Restorative Dentistry: Repairing Damage and Restoring Function

Even with excellent preventive care, dental problems sometimes occur due to genetics, accidents, or past neglect. Our restorative dentistry services repair damaged teeth and restore full oral function using the most advanced materials and techniques available today.

Tooth-Colored Composite Fillings: When cavities require treatment, we use tooth-colored composite resin materials that bond directly to tooth structure, providing excellent durability while maintaining natural aesthetics. Unlike older amalgam (silver) fillings, composite restorations are mercury-free and require less aggressive tooth preparation, preserving more of your healthy tooth structure.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns: This is one of our most popular services among Intel professionals who cannot afford to take multiple days off work for dental procedures. Traditional crown procedures require two appointments weeks apart—first to prepare the tooth and place a temporary crown, then a second visit to cement the permanent restoration. With CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) technology, Dr. Ostovar prepares your tooth, digitally scans the preparation, designs your custom crown using advanced CAD software, mills the restoration from a solid ceramic block, and permanently cements it—all in approximately 2-3 hours during a single appointment. CEREC crowns are made from high-strength ceramic that matches your natural teeth perfectly and carries the same longevity as laboratory-fabricated crowns.

Root Canal Therapy: When tooth decay or trauma reaches the inner pulp chamber containing nerves and blood vessels, root canal treatment becomes necessary to save the tooth from extraction. Many patients fear root canals based on outdated information, but modern endodontic techniques using rotary instrumentation and digital apex locators make the procedure no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Dr. Ostovar performs most routine root canal procedures in-office, referring only the most complex cases to endodontic specialists.

Dental Bridges: For patients missing one or more teeth who prefer a non-surgical replacement option, traditional dental bridges provide excellent aesthetics and function. A bridge consists of artificial teeth (pontics) fused between two dental crowns that anchor to adjacent natural teeth. Modern all-ceramic bridges eliminate the metal substructures that could create dark lines at the gumline.

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard for Tooth Replacement

Missing teeth affect far more than just your appearance—they impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper jaw bone density. Unlike bridges or dentures that rest on top of gums, dental implants actually replace the entire tooth structure including the root. A titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone where it integrates through a process called osseointegration, creating a permanent foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.

Dr. Ostovar uses advanced 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to plan implant cases with extreme precision. This technology creates three-dimensional models of your jaw anatomy, allowing him to virtually place implants in optimal positions before surgery begins. Many cases are completed using computer-guided surgical stents that ensure implants are placed exactly as planned with minimal gum incision—reducing discomfort and healing time.

Dental implant treatment typically occurs in stages: first, the implant post is surgically placed and allowed to heal for 3-6 months while osseointegration occurs. During this healing period, you'll wear a temporary restoration so there are no gaps in your smile. Once integration is confirmed, Dr. Ostovar places an abutment (connector piece) and custom crown fabricated in a dental laboratory. The entire process produces results that look, feel, and function like your natural teeth.

For patients missing most or all teeth in an arch, we offer All-on-4 full-arch restoration. This innovative technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete denture, eliminating the need for individual implants for each missing tooth. All-on-4 provides a permanent, screw-retained solution that eliminates messy denture adhesives and allows you to eat whatever you want without fear of loose dentures.

Many Intel dental insurance plans provide 50% coverage for dental implants up to your annual maximum. Our financial coordinators help structure treatment plans that optimize insurance benefits while providing flexible payment options for any remaining balance.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Confidence Through Your Smile

Your smile is often the first thing people notice during introductions, presentations, and video conferences. If you feel self-conscious about discolored, chipped, misaligned, or gapped teeth, cosmetic dentistry can dramatically enhance your appearance and boost your confidence. Popular cosmetic services at Aloha Modern Dentistry include:

Professional Teeth Whitening: Over-the-counter whitening strips and toothpastes provide minimal results compared to professional-grade whitening available at our office. We offer both in-office power whitening that brightens teeth several shades in a single 60-minute appointment, and custom take-home whitening trays with professional-strength gel for gradual whitening over 1-2 weeks. Professional whitening is one of the most cost-effective cosmetic improvements you can make to your smile.

Porcelain Veneers: Dental veneers are ultra-thin ceramic shells bonded to the front surface of your teeth to correct shape, size, color, and minor alignment issues. Veneers can address multiple cosmetic concerns simultaneously—closing gaps, lengthening worn teeth, covering permanent stains, and creating a brilliantly white Hollywood smile. The procedure typically requires two appointments: one for preparation and impressions, another for bonding the custom-fabricated veneers. With proper care, porcelain veneers can last 10-15 years or longer.

Dental Bonding: For minor cosmetic improvements like small chips, gaps, or discoloration, tooth-colored composite bonding provides an affordable solution that can often be completed in a single visit. Dr. Ostovar sculpts composite resin directly onto your tooth surface, shapes it to the desired form, and hardens it with a special curing light. Bonding is more conservative than veneers since it requires minimal tooth preparation.

Smile Design Consultations: If you're considering a complete smile makeover, we offer comprehensive smile design consultations where Dr. Ostovar evaluates your facial proportions, discusses your aesthetic goals, and creates a customized treatment plan. This might combine multiple procedures—veneers, crowns, whitening, orthodontics—to achieve your ideal smile.

Invisalign: Clear Orthodontics for Adults and Teens

Crooked or misaligned teeth don't just affect aesthetics—they can contribute to uneven wear, jaw pain, and difficulty cleaning between teeth. Many Intel professionals avoided orthodontic treatment in their youth and now seek solutions that won't impact their professional appearance during meetings and presentations. Invisalign clear aligner therapy provides an ideal solution.

Unlike traditional metal braces with brackets and wires, Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-manufactured for your teeth using 3D computer modeling. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series, gradually moving your teeth into their ideal positions. The aligners are virtually invisible during wear, can be removed for eating and oral hygiene, and typically require fewer office visits than conventional braces—usually every 6-8 weeks for progress checks.

Treatment duration varies based on case complexity but typically ranges from 12-18 months. Dr. Ostovar is a certified Invisalign provider with extensive experience treating adult professionals who want to improve their smiles without the appearance of traditional braces. Many Intel dental plans include orthodontic benefits that can be applied toward Invisalign treatment, and we offer CareCredit financing to make treatment affordable.

Emergency Dental Care When You Need It Most

Dental emergencies happen without warning and always seem to occur at the most inconvenient times. Whether it's a severe toothache that prevents you from concentrating at work, a broken tooth from biting something hard, a knocked-out tooth from a recreational accident, or a lost crown from an old restoration, Aloha Modern Dentistry provides same-day emergency dental care for urgent situations.

We intentionally keep appointment slots open each day for true emergencies. Intel employees experiencing dental pain or trauma should call our office immediately at (503) 922-1166. Our team will assess your situation over the phone and work you into the schedule as quickly as possible—often the same day you call. Dr. Ostovar will diagnose the problem, provide immediate treatment to relieve pain, and discuss options for definitive care.

Common dental emergencies we treat include severe toothaches caused by infection or deep decay, chipped or fractured teeth from trauma, completely knocked-out (avulsed) teeth that require immediate replantation, lost dental crowns or fillings exposing sensitive tooth structure, dental abscesses that require drainage and antibiotics, broken dentures or partials, and orthodontic emergencies like broken wires. We also coordinate after-hours emergency coverage for patients who experience urgent problems when the office is closed.

Understanding Intel's Hillsboro Oregon Campus Locations

Intel Corporation's presence in the Portland metropolitan area represents one of the largest concentrations of advanced semiconductor manufacturing and research in the United States. The company has operated in Oregon since 1974 and currently employs over 22,000 people across multiple campuses in Hillsboro, making it Washington County's largest private employer and a cornerstone of Oregon's high-tech economy.

Jones Farm Campus: Located along NE 25th Avenue near the intersection with Cornell Road, Jones Farm serves as Intel's primary research and development hub for processor design and engineering. This campus houses thousands of engineers working on cutting-edge chip architecture, logic design, validation, and pre-silicon development. Jones Farm employees typically work in office environments with access to advanced computing resources and laboratories. The campus features multiple modern buildings, cafeterias, fitness centers, and amenities that support Intel's workforce.

Ronler Acres Campus: Situated off NW Evergreen Parkway near NW Ronler Acres Road, this campus is home to Intel's D1X fabrication facility—one of the world's most advanced semiconductor manufacturing plants. D1X specializes in process technology development and early production of Intel's leading-edge microprocessors using sub-7nm manufacturing processes. Many Ronler Acres employees work in cleanroom environments requiring special gowning procedures and adherence to strict contamination control protocols. Shift work is common in fabrication facilities, with employees rotating through day, swing, and night shifts.

Hawthorn Farm Campus: This campus provides additional office space and supports various Intel business units including software development, IT infrastructure, sales and marketing, and administrative functions. Hawthorn Farm employees often work in traditional office settings with more flexible schedules compared to manufacturing operations.

The demanding nature of semiconductor work—whether designing next-generation processors under tight deadlines, maintaining 24/7 fabrication operations, or managing complex global supply chains—means Intel employees often face scheduling challenges when trying to fit personal appointments like dental care into their busy lives. This is precisely why Aloha Modern Dentistry has structured our practice to accommodate these unique needs with early morning appointments, lunch-hour scheduling, and efficient treatment protocols that minimize time away from work.

Advanced Dental Technology for Precision and Comfort

Just as Intel pushes the boundaries of semiconductor innovation, Aloha Modern Dentistry invests significantly in advanced dental technology that improves diagnostic accuracy, treatment precision, and patient comfort. Dr. Ostovar believes that incorporating cutting-edge equipment and techniques results in better outcomes and more efficient care.

3D Cone Beam CT Imaging: This specialized dental X-ray system creates three-dimensional images of your teeth, jaw, nerves, and sinuses. CBCT provides far more detailed information than traditional 2D X-rays, allowing Dr. Ostovar to plan dental implant placements with millimeter precision, evaluate wisdom teeth positioning relative to nerves, diagnose TMJ disorders, and assess bone quality before surgical procedures. The 3D imaging data can be imported into planning software that virtually positions implants before surgery begins.

Digital X-Rays: Our practice uses exclusively digital radiography with sensor technology that eliminates the need for chemical processing and reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays. Digital images appear instantly on chairside monitors, can be easily enhanced for better diagnosis, and are stored electronically in your patient record for comparison during future visits.

Intraoral Cameras: These small, pen-sized cameras capture high-resolution images of individual teeth and oral structures, allowing Dr. Ostovar to show you exactly what he sees during examinations. Many patients understand treatment recommendations better when they can visualize a cracked tooth or gum disease on the monitor. Intraoral photos also provide excellent documentation for insurance claims.

CEREC CAD/CAM System: As discussed earlier, this technology enables same-day crown fabrication. The system includes a digital scanner that captures precise 3D impressions without messy putty, CAD software for designing restorations, and a milling unit that fabricates crowns from solid ceramic blocks. CEREC represents a game-changing advancement for busy professionals who need quality dental work without multiple appointments.

Soft Tissue Laser: Dental laser technology allows Dr. Ostovar to perform many gum procedures with less bleeding, reduced post-operative discomfort, and faster healing compared to traditional scalpel techniques. Lasers are used for gum recontouring, treating periodontal disease, performing frenectomies, and removing oral lesions.

Digital Impression Scanner: Traditional impressions using putty trays can be uncomfortable and sometimes need to be repeated if the impression doesn't set properly. Our digital scanner captures precise 3D impressions in minutes using a wand that's passed over your teeth—no gagging, no foul-tasting materials, and more accurate results.
