Convenient Location & Access

From toddlers to grandparents, everyone receives age-appropriate care in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment. We offer family block scheduling so you can bring multiple family members for appointments on the same day, saving you time and making dental care more convenient.
Flexible Scheduling Options
We know Rock Creek residents have busy lives with work commutes to Intel, Nike, downtown Portland, and other employers throughout the metro area. That's why we offer early morning appointments starting at 7:00 AM, plus Saturday hours from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. You can schedule dental care around your life instead of disrupting your work schedule or children's activities.
Insurance & Financing Made Easy
We accept virtually all major dental insurance plans including Delta Dental PPO, Moda Health, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, Guardian, and many more. Our experienced billing team will verify your benefits, file claims on your behalf, and help you maximize your coverage. For patients without insurance, we offer an affordable Smile Club membership for $299/year covering preventive care, plus flexible financing through CareCredit and LendingClub.

Dr. Ostovar takes time to listen to your concerns, explain your options, and develop treatment plans that align with your goals and budget. We believe in building long-term relationships with our patients based on trust, transparency, and exceptional care.

Preventive Dentistry: The Foundation of Healthy Smiles
At Aloha Modern Dentistry, we believe the best dental treatment is prevention. Regular preventive care not only keeps your teeth and gums healthy but also helps you avoid costly, extensive procedures down the road. For Rock Creek families, we recommend preventive dental visits every six months for optimal oral health.
What to Expect During Your Preventive Dental Visit
Your preventive dental appointment typically includes:
- Comprehensive Oral Examination: Dr. Ostovar carefully examines your teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other conditions.
- Digital X-Rays: We use low-radiation digital X-rays to detect issues not visible during the clinical exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
- Professional Cleaning: Our skilled hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing miss, then polish your teeth for a smooth, clean feeling.
- Oral Cancer Screening: Early detection of oral cancer significantly improves treatment outcomes. We screen for suspicious lesions or abnormalities during every exam.
- Personalized Oral Health Advice: We provide customized recommendations for improving your home care routine based on your specific needs and risk factors.
Pediatric Preventive Care for Rock Creek Children
Children have unique dental needs, and establishing good oral health habits early sets the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles. We recommend children visit the dentist by age one or when their first tooth erupts. Our pediatric preventive services include:
- Gentle cleanings and exams in a fun, non-threatening environment
- Fluoride treatments to strengthen developing enamel
- Dental sealants to protect molars from cavities
- Oral hygiene education tailored to children's understanding
- Early orthodontic assessments to monitor development
- Nutritional counseling for optimal dental health
Cosmetic Dentistry: Transform Your Smile with Confidence
Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. If you're self-conscious about stained, chipped, crooked, or missing teeth, cosmetic dentistry can dramatically improve your appearance and boost your confidence. Dr. Ostovar has extensive training in cosmetic dental procedures and uses artistic precision to create natural-looking, beautiful results.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening is one of the most popular cosmetic dental treatments, and for good reason—it delivers dramatic results quickly and affordably. We offer both in-office Zoom whitening for immediate results and custom take-home whitening kits for gradual brightening at your convenience. Our professional-grade whitening treatments are significantly more effective than over-the-counter products and are customized to minimize sensitivity.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of dental ceramic bonded to the front surfaces of your teeth to correct multiple aesthetic concerns simultaneously. Veneers can address:
- Severely stained or discolored teeth that don't respond to whitening
- Chips, cracks, or worn enamel
- Gaps between teeth
- Minor misalignment or irregularly shaped teeth
- Overall smile enhancement
Dr. Ostovar works closely with you to design veneers that complement your facial features, skin tone, and personality. The result is a natural-looking smile transformation that can last 10-15 years with proper care.
Smile Makeovers
If you have multiple cosmetic concerns, a comprehensive smile makeover may be the ideal solution. Dr. Ostovar combines multiple treatments—such as whitening, veneers, bonding, crowns, and orthodontics—to achieve your dream smile. During your consultation, we'll discuss your goals, assess your oral health, and create a customized treatment plan that addresses both aesthetics and function.
Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement for Rock Creek Patients
Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance—they impact your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and maintain proper oral health. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement because they're the only option that replaces both the visible crown and the tooth root.
The Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional bridges and dentures:
- Natural Appearance and Function: Implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods and smile with confidence.
- Preserve Bone Structure: The titanium implant post stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss.
- No Damage to Adjacent Teeth: Unlike dental bridges that require filing down healthy neighboring teeth, implants are self-supporting.
- Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health.
- Improved Oral Health: Implants are easy to clean and maintain with regular brushing and flossing, just like natural teeth.
The Dental Implant Process
Dr. Ostovar uses advanced 3D imaging technology to plan your implant placement with precision. The process typically involves:
- Consultation and Planning: Comprehensive evaluation, 3D imaging, and treatment plan development
- Implant Placement: Surgical placement of the titanium implant post into your jawbone
- Healing Period: 3-6 months for osseointegration (implant fusing with bone)
- Abutment Placement: Attachment of a connector piece to the implant
- Crown Placement: Custom crown designed and placed for a natural appearance
We offer sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process, and we're with you every step of the way to answer questions and provide support.
Invisalign: Straighten Your Smile Discreetly
Many Rock Creek adults and teens want straighter teeth but don't want the look or lifestyle restrictions of traditional metal braces. Invisalign clear aligners offer an innovative alternative that's virtually invisible, removable, and incredibly effective for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. The aligners are removable for eating, brushing, and special occasions, giving you flexibility that traditional braces can't offer.
Conditions Invisalign Can Treat
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps and spacing issues
- Overbite, underbite, and crossbite
- Crooked or rotated teeth
- Minor to moderate alignment issues
The Invisalign Advantage
Rock Creek patients choose Invisalign for numerous reasons:
- Virtually Invisible: The clear aligners are barely noticeable, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly.
- Removable: Take aligners out for eating, brushing, and important events—no food restrictions or difficult cleaning.
- Comfortable: Smooth plastic aligners don't irritate your cheeks and gums like metal brackets and wires.
- Predictable Results: Advanced 3D planning shows you the expected outcome before treatment begins.
- Fewer Appointments: Check-in visits every 6-8 weeks, perfect for busy Rock Creek professionals and families.

When to Seek Emergency Dental Care
Contact us immediately if you experience:
- Severe Toothache: Intense, persistent tooth pain that doesn't respond to over-the-counter pain relievers may indicate infection or abscess requiring immediate treatment.
- Knocked-Out Tooth: If a permanent tooth is completely knocked out, time is critical. Rinse the tooth gently, keep it moist, and call us immediately—we may be able to save it if you're seen within an hour.
- Broken or Cracked Tooth: Fractured teeth can expose sensitive nerves and leave sharp edges that cut your tongue or cheek. We'll repair the damage and relieve your discomfort.
- Lost Filling or Crown: A lost restoration leaves your tooth vulnerable to further damage and sensitivity. We'll restore the tooth and protect it from additional problems.
- Dental Abscess: A pus-filled infection in or around a tooth requires immediate treatment to prevent the infection from spreading.
- Soft Tissue Injuries: Cuts, lacerations, or trauma to your lips, cheeks, gums, or tongue may require professional evaluation and treatment.
What to Do Before Your Emergency Appointment
While you're on your way to our office from Rock Creek:
- Rinse your mouth with warm water to clean the area
- Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling
- Take over-the-counter pain reliever as directed
- Save any broken tooth fragments to bring with you

Call us immediately at (503) 922-1166, and we'll provide specific instructions based on your situation and schedule you for the earliest possible appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions from Rock Creek Patients
How often should I visit the dentist?
Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for routine exams and cleanings. However, if you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or other risk factors, Dr. Ostovar may recommend more frequent visits—typically every 3-4 months. Regular preventive care helps catch problems early when they're easier and less expensive to treat.
Is dental X-ray radiation safe?
Yes, dental X-rays are extremely safe. We use digital X-ray technology that produces 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. The amount of radiation exposure from a full set of dental X-rays is less than what you'd receive during a short airplane flight. We also use lead aprons for additional protection. The diagnostic benefits far outweigh the minimal risks.
What can I do about dental anxiety?
Dental anxiety is very common, and we're experienced in helping nervous patients feel comfortable. We offer sedation dentistry options including nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation for more anxious patients. Our team takes extra time to explain procedures, answer questions, and ensure you feel in control. Many anxious patients are surprised by how comfortable their visits are.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant post integrates with your jawbone and is incredibly durable. The crown attached to the implant may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself rarely fails. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups are key to implant longevity.
Do you offer payment plans for expensive treatments?
Yes! We offer flexible financing through CareCredit and LendingClub, which allow you to spread the cost of treatment over time with affordable monthly payments. We also accept most dental insurance plans and will work with your provider to maximize your benefits. Our goal is to make quality dental care accessible regardless of your financial situation.
