Welcome to Hillsboro’s Premier Dental Practice

At East Wind Dental Care, we understand that finding a dentist in Hillsboro you can trust is one of the most important healthcare decisions you’ll make for yourself and your family. That’s why we’ve built our practice on a foundation of clinical excellence, genuine compassion, and a commitment to making every patient feel valued and cared for.

Located at 7546 NE Shaleen St in the heart of Hillsboro, our dental office serves as a welcoming haven for patients of all ages—from toddlers experiencing their first dental visit to seniors maintaining their smiles for a lifetime. We believe that exceptional dental care goes beyond technical skill; it requires listening to our patients, understanding their unique needs and concerns, and creating personalized treatment plans that align with their goals, preferences, and budget.

What Makes Our Hillsboro Dental Office Special

Patient-Centered Philosophy:

Every decision we make at East Wind Dental Care is guided by one simple question: “What’s best for our patients?” This philosophy shapes everything from the advanced technology we invest in to the continuing education our team pursues to the gentle, thorough approach Dr. O takes with every procedure.

Comfortable, Modern Environment:

We’ve designed our Hillsboro dental office to be a place where you actually look forward to visiting. From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll notice the difference—a warm, welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff who greet you by name, comfortable treatment rooms equipped with the latest technology, and amenities that make your visit as pleasant as possible.

Comprehensive Care Under One Roof:

Rather than referring you to multiple specialists across the Portland metro area, we offer a full range of dental services right here in Hillsboro. From routine cleanings and preventive care to complex restorative procedures and cosmetic smile makeovers, Dr. O and our team can handle virtually all your dental needs in the comfort and convenience of our familiar office.

Family-Friendly Approach:

We’re proud to be a true family dental practice in Hillsboro, caring for patients from age 3 to 103. Whether you’re bringing your child for their first checkup, need a crown yourself, or are helping an aging parent navigate their dental care, we have the experience and compassion to serve your entire family’s needs.


Serving Hillsboro Families for Many Years

Since establishing East Wind Dental Care in Hillsboro, Dr. Ostovar has built lasting relationships with countless families throughout the community. Many of our patients have been with us since we first opened our doors, and we’ve had the privilege of caring for multiple generations of the same family—treating parents we first met as children, and now welcoming their own kids.

Deep Roots in the Hillsboro Community

Local Expertise:

As a Hillsboro dentist, Dr. O understands the unique needs of our community. Whether you work at one of the many tech companies in the area, commute to Portland, or are raising a family in one of Hillsboro’s wonderful neighborhoods, we understand the time pressures you face and the importance of convenient, efficient dental care that fits your busy schedule.

Growing with Hillsboro:

We’ve witnessed Hillsboro’s tremendous growth and transformation over the years—from the expansion of the tech sector to the development of vibrant neighborhoods like Orenco Station and Tanasbourne. Through it all, we’ve remained committed to providing the same personalized, quality care that our patients have come to expect, while continuously investing in advanced technology and training to offer the very best modern dentistry has to offer.

Generational Care:

There’s something special about watching families grow over the years. We’ve had the honor of caring for patients from their first baby teeth through orthodontics, wisdom teeth removal, wedding-ready smile makeovers, and eventually helping them maintain healthy smiles well into their golden years. These long-term relationships are the heart of our practice and the reason we love what we do.

Building Trust Through Consistent Excellence

Honest, Transparent Communication:

We believe you deserve to fully understand your oral health and treatment options. Dr. O takes time during every appointment to explain what he’s seeing, answer your questions thoroughly, and discuss all available options—never pushing unnecessary treatment but always ensuring you have the information needed to make informed decisions about your care.

Quality Without Compromise:

While we always strive to maximize your insurance benefits and work within your budget, we never compromise on quality. Dr. O uses only proven, high-quality materials and techniques, and he performs every procedure with the same meticulous attention to detail whether it’s a simple filling or a complex full-mouth reconstruction.

Consistency You Can Count On:

Unlike corporate dental chains with high turnover, when you choose East Wind Dental Care, you’ll see the same familiar faces at every visit. Dr. O personally performs all procedures, and our experienced team members have been with us for years. This continuity of care means we truly get to know you, remember your preferences, and notice subtle changes in your oral health over time.


Convenient Location Near Intel, Orenco Station, and Tanasbourne

One of the many advantages of choosing East Wind Dental Care is our convenient Hillsboro location at 7546 NE Shaleen St. We’re ideally situated to serve patients throughout the Hillsboro area and neighboring communities.

Easy Access from Major Hillsboro Neighborhoods and Employers

Near Intel and Tech Employers:

Located just minutes from Intel’s Ronler Acres and Hawthorn Farm campuses, as well as other major tech employers in the area, our dental office is convenient for professionals who need to schedule appointments before work, during lunch, or after hours. We understand the demands of working in the tech industry and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy workday.

Orenco Station Residents:

For our patients living in the vibrant Orenco Station neighborhood, we’re just a quick drive or bike ride away. Many Orenco Station residents appreciate having a high-quality dentist nearby rather than having to travel to Beaverton or Portland for dental care.

Tanasbourne Area:

Serving families in the Tanasbourne area, including the Streets of Tanasbourne shopping district, our location offers convenient access via Cornell Road and Highway 26. Whether you’re running errands or live nearby, you can easily fit a dental appointment into your day.

Aloha and Beaverton:

While we’re located in Hillsboro, we’re readily accessible to patients from Aloha and west Beaverton. Many patients from these neighboring communities choose East Wind Dental Care because of Dr. O’s excellent reputation and our comprehensive service offerings.

Ample Parking and Accessible Facility

Easy Highway Access:

Comprehensive Dental Services for Hillsboro Residents

At East Wind Dental Care, we offer a complete range of dental services to meet all your family’s oral health needs. Having comprehensive care available in one convenient Hillsboro location means fewer referrals to specialists, less time spent traveling to different offices, and the comfort of receiving all your dental care from a team that knows you and your dental history.

Preventive Dentistry

Routine Cleanings & Exams:

Regular checkups and professional cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. During your visit, our skilled hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup, while Dr. O performs a comprehensive examination to detect any issues early when they’re easiest and most affordable to treat.

Digital X-Rays:

Using the latest digital radiography technology, we can capture detailed images of your teeth and jaw structure with 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays. Digital X-rays help us identify cavities, bone loss, infections, and other issues that aren’t visible during a visual examination.

Oral Cancer Screenings:

As part of every comprehensive exam, Dr. O performs a thorough oral cancer screening, checking for any signs of abnormal tissue that could indicate precancerous or cancerous conditions. Early detection dramatically improves treatment outcomes.

Fluoride Treatments & Sealants:

For children and adults at higher risk for cavities, we offer fluoride treatments to strengthen tooth enamel and dental sealants to protect the deep grooves of back teeth from decay.

Periodontal Care:

Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems, and if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and even affect your overall health. We provide comprehensive periodontal evaluations and treatment, including deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to treat gum disease and restore gum health.

Restorative Dentistry

Tooth-Colored Fillings:

When decay requires treatment, Dr. O uses tooth-colored composite fillings that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth—providing durable, attractive restoration without the mercury and metal of traditional silver fillings.

Dental Crowns:

For teeth that are severely decayed, cracked, or weakened, dental crowns restore strength, function, and appearance. We offer same-day crowns using advanced CAD/CAM technology, as well as traditional lab-fabricated crowns in porcelain, zirconia, and other high-quality materials.

Bridges:

Missing teeth can be replaced with custom dental bridges that restore your smile and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting out of position.

Dentures & Partial Dentures:

For patients missing multiple teeth or full arches, we create custom dentures and partial dentures that restore the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Dental Implants:

Considered the gold standard for tooth replacement, dental implants provide permanent, natural-looking replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like your own teeth. Dr. O can place implants and restore them with custom crowns right here in our Hillsboro office.

Root Canal Therapy:

When infection or damage reaches the inner pulp of a tooth, root canal treatment can save the tooth and eliminate pain. Dr. O performs gentle, comfortable root canals using advanced techniques and technology.

Emergency Dental Care:

Dental emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. Whether you’ve chipped a tooth, lost a filling, or are experiencing severe dental pain, we offer prompt emergency dental care to Hillsboro patients. Call us right away, and we’ll do everything possible to see you the same day.

Cosmetic Dentistry

Professional Teeth Whitening:

Brighten your smile with our professional whitening treatments—available as in-office treatment for immediate results or take-home kits for gradual whitening at your convenience.

Porcelain Veneers:

Transform your smile with custom porcelain veneers that can correct chips, cracks, gaps, misalignment, and discoloration in just two visits.

Cosmetic Bonding:

For minor imperfections, cosmetic bonding offers a quick, affordable way to improve your smile by reshaping teeth or covering flaws with tooth-colored resin.

Smile Makeovers:

Combining multiple cosmetic procedures, Dr. O can create a comprehensive treatment plan to completely transform your smile and boost your confidence.

Specialized Services

TMJ/TMD Treatment:

If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ disorder, Dr. O offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment, including custom nightguards to relieve symptoms and protect your teeth from grinding.

Sleep Apnea Appliances:

For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances can provide an effective alternative to CPAP machines, helping you breathe better and sleep more soundly.

Invisalign Clear Aligners:

Straighten your teeth discreetly without metal braces. Dr. O is experienced in Invisalign treatment, offering a comfortable, nearly invisible way to achieve the straight smile you’ve always wanted.

Sedation Dentistry:

For anxious patients or those undergoing lengthy procedures, we offer sedation options to help you relax and feel comfortable throughout your treatment.

2. Do you accept my dental insurance?

We work with most major dental insurance plans. Our knowledgeable team will verify your benefits before your appointment and help you understand your coverage. Even if we’re not in-network with your specific plan, we’re happy to file claims on your behalf as an out-of-network provider. Call us with your insurance information, and we’ll verify your benefits.

3. What should I bring to my first appointment?

Please bring:

  • Your photo ID
  • Your dental insurance card (if you have insurance)
  • A list of any medications you’re currently taking

  • X-rays from your previous dentist (if available and recent)

We’ll handle the rest! We’ll have you fill out some forms when you arrive, or you can complete them in advance on our website.

4. How often should I visit the dentist?

Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for a routine cleaning and examination. However, if you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or other oral health concerns, Dr. O may recommend more frequent visits—typically every 3-4 months. Regular visits help us catch problems early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.

5. Do you offer emergency dental care in Hillsboro?

We understand the demands of the tech industry and offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your busy workday.

Yes! We offer both in-office professional whitening for fast, dramatic results (typically in about an hour), and take-home whitening kits that allow you to whiten your teeth gradually over 1-2 weeks. During your consultation, Dr. O will help you determine which option is best for your goals, timeline, and budget.

“Saved My Tooth!”

“I came in with severe pain on a Friday afternoon, and they got me in right away. Dr. O diagnosed the problem, performed a root canal, and I was pain-free by that evening. He’s extremely skilled and made what I expected to be a terrible experience actually bearable. I’m so grateful!”

— Robert K., Tanasbourne

“Beautiful Smile Makeover”

“I was always self-conscious about my smile—stained, crooked teeth that I’d hide in photos. Dr. O created a comprehensive treatment plan that included whitening and veneers. The results are amazing! I can’t stop smiling now. The investment was absolutely worth it, and the payment plan made it affordable.”

— Amanda L., Hillsboro

“Great Location for Intel Employees”

“Working at Intel, I needed a dentist close to campus who could see me during my lunch break. East Wind Dental Care is perfect—just a few minutes away, and they respect your time.

— Maria G., Aloha

“What I appreciate most about Dr. O is his honesty. He doesn’t push unnecessary treatments or try to sell you things you don’t need. He presents options, explains pros and cons, and lets you make informed decisions. That kind of integrity is rare and much appreciated.”
