Dental Implants for Patients Near Providence St. Vincent — Including Medically Complex Cases
Providence St. Vincent Medical Center on SW Barnes Road is one of the largest hospitals in the Portland metro area, and our implant practice at 18455 SW Alexander Street in Beaverton is approximately 10 to 15 minutes south via SW Murray Boulevard or SW Cedar Hills Boulevard. This proximity is particularly relevant for patients who receive medical care at St. Vincent — especially those with systemic health conditions that require coordination between their medical team and their implant surgeon. Our Beaverton office is a 5-minute drive from Aloha, 10 minutes from Hillsboro, and 15 minutes from Tigard via SW 185th Avenue.
Patients with heart conditions, diabetes, blood clotting disorders, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, or those taking anticoagulants often worry that dental implant surgery is not safe for them. In most cases, it is — with proper medical coordination. Dr. Ostovar routinely communicates with physicians at Providence St. Vincent and other medical facilities to obtain medical clearances, adjust medication protocols, and plan surgical timing that optimizes safety. Having practiced in Washington County for years, he has established working relationships with many local physicians and specialists. Conveniently located near Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Aloha for patients searching for quality dental care near me.
For patients undergoing cancer treatment at Providence, dental implant timing must be carefully considered relative to chemotherapy and radiation schedules. Radiation to the head and neck requires specific wait times before implant surgery. Chemotherapy cycles affect immune function and healing. Dr. Ostovar understands these timelines and coordinates with oncology teams to find the safest treatment windows. If you have been told you cannot have implants because of a medical condition, a consultation with a specialist who understands these nuances may change that assessment.

Recovery & Healing Timeline
Understanding the healing process helps you plan ahead and follow post-operative instructions for the best possible outcome.
First 48 Hours
Mild swelling and tenderness are normal. Apply ice packs in 20-minute intervals and take prescribed or over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication. Eat soft foods and avoid the surgical site when chewing.
Days 3 to 7
Swelling peaks around day three and then improves. The tissue begins closing over the surgical site. Continue with soft foods and use any prescribed antimicrobial rinse. Most patients return to normal activities during this phase.
Long-Term Healing
Surface tissue heals within two to three weeks. Bone integration and deep healing continue for three to six months. Avoid smoking, follow up as scheduled, and maintain good oral hygiene throughout recovery.
Questions during recovery? Call us at (503) 822-0096. We are available for post-operative concerns.
Medical-Dental Coordination: How Systemic Health Affects Implant Outcomes
Dental implant osseointegration is a biological process that depends on adequate blood supply, competent immune function, and normal bone metabolism. Systemic conditions can impair one or more of these requirements. Uncontrolled diabetes (HbA1c above 8 percent) compromises microvascular blood flow and leukocyte function. Anticoagulant therapy affects clot formation necessary for initial wound healing. Bisphosphonate use alters bone remodeling, which is essential for integration. Radiation therapy destroys the vascularity of irradiated bone. Each of these conditions requires protocol modification — not automatic exclusion — from implant treatment. Coordinating with the patient's medical team ensures that the surgical timing, antibiotic coverage, and healing expectations are calibrated to their specific health status.
Why Choose a Specialist?
Treating medically complex implant patients requires more than surgical skill — it requires medical literacy. Dr. Ostovar's training includes understanding pharmacology, systemic disease effects on healing, and the medical clearance process. Patients from Providence St. Vincent's cardiac, oncology, endocrinology, and rheumatology departments are treated with protocols adapted to their conditions. This willingness to take on complex cases — rather than defaulting to "you are not a candidate" — distinguishes a fellowship-trained specialist from a generalist.
Treatment time varies by complexity. A straightforward procedure may take 30-60 minutes, while more involved cases can take 1-2 hours. Your consultation visit typically lasts 45-60 minutes including imaging and treatment planning. We’ll give you a specific time estimate for your individual case.

A Note from Dr. Ostovar
“I’ve been practicing in this community for over 15 years, and what I hear most from new patients is how relieved they are to find a practice where they don’t have to drive to three different offices for three different specialists. That’s what we built here — one team, one location, every dental specialty you’d ever need. If you’re not sure where to start, just call us at (503) 822-0096. We’ll figure it out together.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is your office from Providence St. Vincent Medical Center?
Approximately 4 to 6 miles, or 10 to 15 minutes by car, depending on traffic. Take SW Murray Boulevard or SW Cedar Hills Boulevard south from the hospital to TV Highway, then continue to SW Alexander Street. The route is straightforward.
Can I get dental implants if I have a heart condition?
In most cases, yes. Stable heart conditions, including those managed with medication, are not contraindications to implant surgery. We obtain medical clearance from your cardiologist when needed and may adjust anticoagulant dosing around the surgery date. Implant surgery is a minor outpatient procedure with low cardiac risk.
Do you coordinate with Providence St. Vincent physicians?
Yes. We routinely communicate with patients' physicians for medical clearances, medication adjustments, and treatment coordination. This is especially important for patients on blood thinners, chemotherapy, immunosuppressants, or bisphosphonates. We fax or call directly to simplify the process.
Can cancer patients get dental implants?
Timing is critical. Implants can often be placed before chemotherapy or radiation begins, or after a sufficient recovery period (typically 12 to 24 months after radiation, sooner after chemotherapy). Dr. Ostovar works with your oncologist to determine the safest treatment window for your specific situation.
Is it safe to get implants while on blood thinners?
Most blood-thinning medications can be continued during minor implant procedures without modification. For more extensive surgeries, your physician may recommend a brief dose reduction or switch to a shorter-acting agent. We never adjust your medications without coordination with your prescribing doctor.
Why do Providence St. Vincent area patients choose ADSC for implants?
Our office is about 4 miles south of Providence St. Vincent — a quick 8-10-minute drive. Patients in the Providence area choose ADSC for dental implants because we provide the full scope of implant care (surgery, grafting, prosthetics) under one roof with 3D imaging and IV sedation, eliminating referrals to multiple Portland offices.
What if my doctor says I cannot have dental surgery?
We work with your physician to understand the specific concern. Often, the restriction is temporary or based on conditions that can be optimized. A direct conversation between Dr. Ostovar and your physician can clarify whether implant surgery is truly contraindicated or simply requires protocol modifications.
Do you offer IV sedation for medically complex patients?
IV sedation is evaluated on a case-by-case basis for medically complex patients. Patients with well-controlled medical conditions typically tolerate IV sedation well. Those with unstable conditions may require local anesthesia only. Dr. Ostovar and our sedation team assess your medical history before recommending sedation options.
Can diabetic patients get dental implants?
Yes. Well-controlled diabetics (HbA1c below 8 percent) have implant success rates comparable to non-diabetic patients. We recommend optimizing blood sugar before surgery and may prescribe prophylactic antibiotics. Post-operative healing is monitored closely, with more frequent follow-up visits scheduled.
What medical conditions prevent implant placement entirely?
Very few conditions are absolute contraindications. Active IV bisphosphonate therapy, recent high-dose radiation to the jaw, and severe uncontrolled immunosuppression are among the few scenarios where implants are not advisable. Most other conditions can be managed with appropriate coordination and timing.
Do you accept health insurance for implant procedures?
We accept PPO dental insurance plans and can submit to medical insurance when procedures qualify (such as bone grafting related to trauma or pathology). We verify all benefits before treatment begins and help you maximize coverage from both dental and medical plans.
Can I have implant surgery at your office rather than a hospital?
Yes. Our Beaverton office is fully equipped for outpatient implant surgery with IV sedation. Hospital-based surgery is only needed for patients requiring general anesthesia due to severe medical complexity. The vast majority of patients — including those with managed medical conditions — are treated safely in our office.
What if I had a hip or knee replacement — does that affect implants?
Joint replacement patients may need antibiotic prophylaxis before dental procedures to prevent prosthetic joint infection. This is a simple precaution — a single dose of antibiotics before surgery. It does not affect the implant procedure itself. We confirm the protocol with your orthopedic surgeon.
Is there free parking at your office?
Yes. We have a dedicated free parking lot directly in front of the building with easy access from SW Alexander Street. Handicap-accessible spaces are available near the entrance. No parking fees or validation required.
Can I get a consultation while I am at Providence for another appointment?
If you have a medical appointment at St. Vincent and want to combine it with an implant consultation at our office, the short drive makes this practical. Call us to schedule, and we will accommodate your timing as closely as possible.
