Preventive & General Dentistry: The Foundation of Oral Health

Prevention is the cornerstone of maintaining excellent oral health throughout your life. Our preventive dentistry services help Nike employees avoid costly, time-consuming dental problems before they develop, keeping you productive at work and confident in every professional interaction.

Comprehensive Dental Examinations: Dr. Ostovar performs thorough evaluations that go far beyond simply checking for cavities. Each examination includes assessment of your teeth, gums, bite alignment, jaw joints (TMJ), oral cancer screening, and comprehensive review of your overall oral health status. We use advanced diagnostic technology including intraoral cameras and digital X-rays to detect problems in their earliest, most treatable stages.

Professional Dental Cleanings: Our skilled dental hygienists provide meticulous cleanings that remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains that daily brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. Regular cleanings every six months are essential for preventing gum disease, tooth decay, and maintaining fresh breath. Most cleaning appointments are completed efficiently in approximately 45 minutes, perfect for busy Nike professionals.

Digital Dental X-Rays: Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art digital radiography that reduces radiation exposure by up to 90% compared to traditional film X-rays while providing superior diagnostic images. Digital X-rays help Dr. Ostovar identify hidden cavities, bone loss, impacted teeth, and other conditions not visible during visual examination.

Oral Cancer Screenings: Every comprehensive examination includes thorough oral cancer screening. Early detection is critical for successful treatment outcomes. Dr. Ostovar carefully examines oral tissues for suspicious lesions, discolorations, or abnormalities that may indicate precancerous or cancerous conditions.

Gum Disease Treatment: Periodontal (gum) disease affects millions of Americans and can lead to tooth loss if untreated. We provide comprehensive gum disease therapy ranging from non-surgical deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) for early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontal maintenance for patients with chronic periodontitis.

Cosmetic Dentistry: Confidence for Professional Success

In Nike's dynamic corporate environment where presentations, meetings, video conferences, and professional networking are daily realities, your smile makes a powerful first impression. Dr. Ostovar specializes in cosmetic dentistry that enhances your natural beauty while maintaining authentic, healthy-looking results.

Porcelain Veneers: Veneers represent the gold standard for comprehensive smile transformation. These ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic are custom-crafted to cover the front surface of your teeth, correcting chips, cracks, severe staining, gaps, minor misalignment, and worn enamel. Dr. Ostovar designs each veneer to complement your facial features, personality, and professional image, creating camera-ready smiles that look completely natural. Many Nike executives, managers, and client-facing professionals choose veneers for their dramatic, long-lasting results.

Professional Teeth Whitening: Daily coffee, tea, red wine, and natural aging can gradually dim your smile's brightness. Our professional whitening systems deliver results that over-the-counter products simply cannot match. Choose from in-office Zoom whitening that brightens your smile up to 8 shades in a single appointment, or custom take-home whitening trays that let you gradually whiten at your convenience. Both options use professional-grade whitening agents that are far more effective than drugstore alternatives while being safe for your enamel when used under Dr. Ostovar's supervision.

Invisalign Clear Aligners: Straightening your teeth no longer requires conspicuous metal braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into ideal position—virtually invisible during wear, removable for eating and special occasions, and comfortable without wires or brackets. This innovative orthodontic system is particularly popular with Nike professionals who want to improve their smile discreetly without the aesthetic concerns of traditional braces. Treatment times typically range from 6-18 months depending on case complexity.

Dental Bonding: For quick, affordable correction of minor cosmetic imperfections, composite bonding offers excellent results in a single appointment. Dr. Ostovar artistically applies tooth-colored resin material to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape irregular teeth, or cover localized stains. Bonding is conservative (requires minimal tooth preparation), reversible, and budget-friendly while delivering immediate aesthetic improvement.

Comprehensive Smile Makeovers: Some patients desire complete smile transformation addressing multiple concerns simultaneously. Dr. Ostovar excels at comprehensive treatment planning that may combine veneers, crowns, whitening, gum recontouring, and orthodontics to achieve stunning results. During your smile makeover consultation, we'll discuss your goals, evaluate your oral health, develop a customized treatment plan, and provide transparent cost estimates so you can make informed decisions about your investment in your smile.

Restorative Dentistry: Repairing Damage, Restoring Function

When dental problems occur—cavities, broken teeth, missing teeth, or failing previous dental work—our advanced restorative dentistry services repair damage and restore your smile's health, function, and appearance.

Tooth-Colored Fillings: Aloha Modern Dentistry is completely mercury-free. We use only composite resin fillings that match your natural tooth color, bond directly to tooth structure for added strength, and provide durable, aesthetically pleasing restoration of cavities. Unlike silver amalgam fillings that are conspicuous and can expand/contract with temperature changes, our composite fillings blend invisibly with your smile.

CEREC Same-Day Crowns: Traditional dental crowns require two appointments separated by weeks of wearing uncomfortable temporary crowns. Our revolutionary CEREC technology changes everything. Using advanced 3D scanning and in-office milling, Dr. Ostovar can design, create, and permanently place a custom porcelain crown in a single appointment—typically completed in about 2 hours. This innovative same-day dentistry is perfect for busy Nike employees who cannot afford multiple time-consuming appointments. CEREC crowns are incredibly strong, beautifully natural-looking, and backed by years of clinical research proving their longevity.

Dental Bridges: Missing teeth create functional problems (difficulty chewing), aesthetic concerns (gaps in your smile), and long-term complications (shifting teeth, bone loss). Fixed dental bridges permanently replace one or more consecutive missing teeth by supporting custom prosthetic teeth on crowns placed on adjacent natural teeth. Bridges restore your ability to chew efficiently, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Root Canal Therapy: Despite their reputation, modern root canal treatment is comfortable and highly successful at saving severely decayed or infected teeth. When bacteria penetrate deep into the tooth's pulp chamber, root canal therapy removes infected tissue, disinfects the internal canals, and seals the tooth to prevent reinfection. Dr. Ostovar performs gentle, efficient root canals that relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth structure—always preferable to extraction when possible.

Dental Implants: For missing teeth, dental implants represent the most advanced, longest-lasting replacement option available. A titanium implant post is surgically placed in your jawbone where it integrates through osseointegration, creating a permanent foundation for a custom crown. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, preserve jawbone density, don't require alteration of adjacent teeth, and can last a lifetime with proper care. Dr. Ostovar works with trusted oral surgery specialists to coordinate implant placement and restoration for seamless treatment.

Sports Dentistry & Custom Athletic Mouthguards

Nike's corporate culture celebrates athleticism, fitness, and active lifestyles. Whether you're a serious athlete, weekend warrior, or casual recreational player, protecting your smile during sports activities is essential. Dental injuries from sports activities can be painful, expensive to repair, and potentially disfiguring—but they're also highly preventable with proper protection.

Custom athletic mouthguards fabricated by Dr. Ostovar offer vastly superior protection compared to generic boil-and-bite mouthguards from sporting goods stores. Here's why custom mouthguards are worth the investment:

Precise Fit: We take detailed impressions of your teeth and create a mouthguard that fits your unique dental anatomy perfectly. This custom fit ensures the mouthguard stays securely in place during activity (no constant readjustment needed), provides maximum protection, allows normal breathing and speaking, and remains comfortable even during extended wear.

Superior Protection: Custom mouthguards are fabricated from high-quality, multi-layer materials engineered to absorb and distribute impact forces. They protect not only your teeth but also your lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw from injury. Research consistently shows that custom mouthguards significantly reduce the risk of dental fractures, tooth loss, soft tissue injuries, jaw fractures, and concussions.

Athletic Performance: Generic mouthguards are bulky, uncomfortable, interfere with breathing, and make communication difficult—all factors that can negatively impact athletic performance. Our custom mouthguards are trim, comfortable, and designed to let you perform at your peak while staying protected.

We recommend custom mouthguards for Nike employees participating in:

• Basketball, football, soccer, and baseball
• Hockey, lacrosse, and field sports
• Martial arts, boxing, and wrestling
• Cycling, mountain biking, and BMX
• Skateboarding and action sports
• Recreational activities with collision or fall risk

Don't wait until after a dental injury to invest in protection. The cost of a custom mouthguard is minimal compared to the thousands of dollars required to repair dental trauma. We can typically complete your custom mouthguard in just two appointments: one for impressions, one for fitting and adjustment.

Understanding Nike Employee Dental Insurance Benefits

Nike Corporation offers competitive dental insurance benefits through various carriers as part of their comprehensive employee benefits package. Our experienced administrative team at Aloha Modern Dentistry has extensive expertise working with the dental plans most commonly chosen by Nike employees.

We accept and work in-network with major dental insurance providers including:

• Delta Dental PPO and Premier networks
• Cigna Dental Care DPPO
• MetLife Dental (PDP and PPO)
• Aetna Dental PPO
• United Healthcare Dental
• Guardian Dental
• Principal Dental
• Most other major dental insurance plans

Benefits Verification & Transparency: Before your first appointment, our team will contact your insurance carrier to verify your specific coverage, annual maximum, deductible status, and benefit levels for different procedures. We'll provide you with a detailed treatment estimate showing your insurance coverage and any out-of-pocket costs before proceeding with treatment—no surprises, no hidden fees, complete transparency.

Maximizing Your Benefits: Most dental insurance plans operate on a calendar year with annual maximum benefits (often $1,500-$2,000). Our team helps you strategically use your benefits to maximize coverage. We can often split larger treatments across two benefit years, combine insurance benefits with flexible spending accounts (FSA/HSA), and schedule preventive care to ensure you're using your benefits fully before they reset.

Claims Processing: We handle all insurance claim submission and follow-up on your behalf, eliminating paperwork hassles. You'll receive clear documentation of services provided and payments applied, making it easy to track your dental expenses for FSA/HSA reimbursement or tax purposes.

Sedation Dentistry: Comfort for Anxious Patients

Dental anxiety affects millions of Americans, often preventing people from seeking necessary dental care until problems become severe. At Aloha Modern Dentistry, we understand these concerns and offer multiple sedation options to help even the most nervous patients receive comfortable, stress-free dental treatment.

Nitrous Oxide Sedation (Laughing Gas): For mild to moderate anxiety, nitrous oxide provides safe, effective relaxation. You'll breathe a mixture of nitrous oxide and oxygen through a small nasal mask, inducing a calm, euphoric feeling within minutes. You remain conscious and responsive throughout treatment but feel deeply relaxed. Effects wear off quickly after the nitrous oxide is discontinued, allowing you to drive yourself home and return to work the same day.

Oral Conscious Sedation: For more significant anxiety or longer procedures, oral sedation uses prescription medication taken before your appointment to induce deep relaxation. Most patients remain awake but feel extremely calm and often have little memory of the procedure afterward. You'll need someone to drive you to and from your appointment, and you should plan to rest for the remainder of the day.

Beyond sedation, our practice philosophy emphasizes gentle technique, clear communication, and patient comfort at every step. Many previously anxious patients are surprised to find that modern dentistry with Dr. Ostovar bears little resemblance to negative past experiences.
