For Referring Dentists: Specialty Support for Your Complex Cases
Referring Dentists Specialty Center is a specialized dental service provided by the board-certified specialists at Aloha Dental Specialty Center in Beaverton, OR. A specialist partnership built on communication, speed, and sending patients back.
For Referring Dentists: Specialty Support for Your Complex Cases
Aloha Dental Specialty Center exists to support the general dentists who handle the daily clinical needs of patients across Washington County and the greater Portland metro area. When a case exceeds the scope of your practice — impacted third molars near the inferior alveolar nerve, implant placement in resorbed ridges, root canals on calcified or retreatment teeth, orthodontic-surgical coordination, full-arch rehabilitation — ADSC provides the specialty skill, advanced imaging, and sedation capability to manage it. Your patient comes here for the specialty work and returns to your office for ongoing care. Conveniently located near Beaverton, Hillsboro, and Aloha for patients searching for quality dental care near me.
The referral process is designed for speed. Call (503) 822-0096, fax, or submit through the website. Referred patients receive priority scheduling — typically within one week for consultations, same-day or next-day for urgent cases. After the consultation, you receive a detailed treatment plan with CBCT imaging, diagnosis, and surgical recommendations. After treatment, a comprehensive summary including post-operative notes, imaging, and restorative specifications is sent to your office. Communication is direct — Dr. Ostovar and Dr. Gvozden are available to discuss cases by phone.
ADSC also offers CBCT imaging-only appointments for offices without 3D scanning capability. Your patient is scanned, and DICOM data is exported digitally to your office — with optional written interpretation by an ADSC specialist. This service eliminates the need to purchase and maintain your own CBCT unit while giving you access to the diagnostic data that complex treatment planning demands.

Understanding Your Investment
At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, we provide transparent pricing before any treatment begins. The cost of your procedure depends on clinical complexity, materials used, and sedation requirements. We walk you through every line item during your consultation so there are no surprises.
What Affects Cost:
- Clinical Complexity: Bone loss, sinus proximity, nerve involvement, or the need for grafting affects treatment planning and surgical time.
- Materials: We use research-backed implant systems, purified bone graft matrices, and high-strength ceramics from established manufacturers.
- Sedation: Options range from local anesthesia to IV sedation, each with different associated costs. We discuss the best option for your comfort and procedure.
Insurance & Financing
We accept most major dental insurance plans and file claims on your behalf. Our team verifies your benefits before treatment and submits pre-treatment estimates with clinical documentation to maximize coverage.
For out-of-pocket costs, we partner with CareCredit and Cherry for flexible payment plans. We also offer our ADSC Dental Savings Plan for patients without insurance.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I refer a patient to ADSC?
Call (503) 822-0096, fax a referral form, or submit through the ADSC website. Include the clinical indication, relevant imaging if available, and any specific instructions or questions for the specialist.
How quickly will my referred patient be seen?
Standard referral consultations are scheduled within one week. Urgent referrals — infections, acute pain, fractures — are seen same-day or next-day. Call the office to communicate urgency.
What information should I send with the referral?
Include the patient name, date of birth, contact information, clinical indication, relevant radiographs or CBCT data, medical history highlights (allergies, medications, conditions), and any specific questions you want the specialist to address.
Will I receive a report after the consultation?
Yes. A detailed consultation report is sent to your office including diagnosis, imaging findings, proposed treatment plan, and timeline. Reports are delivered electronically, typically within 1 to 2 business days.
Will I receive a report after treatment is completed?
Yes. A treatment completion summary includes the procedure performed, post-operative instructions given to the patient, follow-up schedule, and restorative recommendations for your office. Imaging is included as applicable.
Does ADSC send patients back after treatment?
Yes. The treat-and-return model is standard. Patients are returned to your practice for ongoing restorative and preventive care. ADSC does not convert referral patients into full-time patients.
Can I send a patient for CBCT imaging only?
Yes. ADSC offers imaging-only appointments with DICOM export to your office. Written specialist interpretation is available as an optional add-on. This service is ideal for offices without CBCT capability.
Can I discuss a case with the specialist before referring?
Yes. Dr. Ostovar and Dr. Gvozden welcome doctor-to-doctor calls to discuss case complexity, treatment options, and whether referral is appropriate. Call (503) 822-0096 and ask to speak with the specialist.
Who places the final restoration — my office or ADSC?
That depends on the case and the referring doctor's preference. Many referring dentists restore implants placed by ADSC. Alternatively, ADSC can handle the entire case through final restoration. The approach is discussed during treatment planning.
Does ADSC provide surgical guides for my implant cases?
Yes. If you are restoring an implant case and want ADSC to provide a CBCT-guided surgical plan and printed guide for your surgical colleague, this service is available. Alternatively, ADSC can perform the surgical phase using guided technique.
What implant systems does ADSC use?
ADSC uses premium implant systems from established manufacturers with documented long-term performance data. The specific system is selected based on the clinical indication. Contact the office for system details relevant to your patient's case.
How does ADSC handle emergencies for my referred patients?
Referred patients with post-operative emergencies are seen immediately during business hours. After-hours surgical patients have access to a direct clinical phone line. ADSC communicates any emergency management to your office promptly.
Is ADSC accepting new referring relationships?
Yes. ADSC welcomes referrals from general dentists throughout Washington County and the Portland metro area. Contact the office to establish a referral relationship and discuss how ADSC can support your practice.
Can ADSC provide continuing education for my team?
Dr. Ostovar and Dr. Gvozden are available for lunch-and-learn presentations, case study discussions, and continuing education sessions for referring practices. Contact the office to arrange a presentation.
What is the best way to send imaging to ADSC?
DICOM data can be sent via secure email, cloud upload, or USB drive given to the patient. Standard digital X-rays can be emailed as JPEG or PNG files. The office can assist with transfer logistics if needed.
