Need a Dental Specialist After an ER Visit at St. Vincent? We Are Minutes Away
Providence St. Vincent Medical Center on SW Barnes Road is one of the premier hospitals in Oregon — but like all hospital emergency rooms, it is not equipped to provide definitive dental treatment. If you went to St. Vincent's ER for a dental emergency and were sent home with antibiotics and a referral to see a dentist, call (503) 822-0096 now. Aloha Dental Specialty Center is located less than 10 minutes from Providence St. Vincent at 18455 SW Alexander St, Suite A in Beaverton. We provide the definitive treatment — extraction, root canal, abscess drainage, fracture repair, reimplantation — that the ER could not. Our Beaverton office is a 5-minute drive from Aloha, 10 minutes from Hillsboro, and 15 minutes from Tigard via SW 185th Avenue.
Hospital ER physicians and residents frequently direct dental emergency patients to seek follow-up with a dental specialist, but patients are often unsure where to go, especially on evenings and weekends. We are open Monday through Friday 7 AM to 7 PM and Saturday through Sunday 8 AM to 2 PM. If you left the St. Vincent ER this morning with a prescription and instructions to see a dentist as soon as possible, call us right now — we can likely see you today.
Our office provides the bridge between hospital emergency stabilization and complete dental rehabilitation. Dr. Gvozden, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, trained in the same hospital-based environment as the physicians at St. Vincent and speaks the same clinical language. He routinely receives referrals from emergency departments for dental abscesses requiring drainage, traumatic dental injuries needing surgical management, and post-operative complications from procedures performed elsewhere.

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.
Most patients complete their oral surgery near providence st vincent appointment in 45-90 minutes. Complex cases may require 1-2 hours. Your initial consultation takes about 60 minutes including imaging and treatment planning.
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.
The ER-to-Specialist Gap in Dental Emergency Care
Research published in the American Journal of Emergency Medicine found that 87% of dental-related ER visits result in no definitive dental treatment — patients receive only analgesics and antibiotics. A follow-up study in the Journal of Public Health Dentistry found that 42% of dental ER patients did not receive definitive treatment within one week of their ER visit, resulting in recurrent ER visits and worsening pathology. Establishing a clear referral pathway to dental specialists who offer same-day availability eliminates this gap and improves outcomes for patients discharged from hospital emergency departments.
Why Choose a Specialist?
Located minutes from Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Aloha Dental Specialty Center provides the definitive dental care that hospital emergency rooms cannot. Dr. Gvozden brings hospital-level surgical training to our private practice setting, and Dr. Ostovar provides immediate restorative solutions. Together, they bridge the gap between ER stabilization and complete dental rehabilitation.
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.
I believe in being straightforward: oral surgery near providence st vincent has excellent outcomes for most patients, but results can vary depending on your specific situation. There are no guarantees in dentistry, and I’d rather set realistic expectations than overpromise.

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 are you from Providence St. Vincent?
About 4 miles west via SW Barnes Road to SW Cedar Hills Boulevard to SW Alexander Street, approximately eight to ten minutes by car. Our address is 18455 SW Alexander St, Suite A, Beaverton, OR 97003.
The ER gave me antibiotics for an abscess — do I still need to see you?
Yes, absolutely. Antibiotics alone do not cure dental abscesses — they temporarily reduce symptoms while the infection persists. You need drainage and treatment of the source tooth (root canal or extraction). Call (503) 822-0096 before your antibiotics run out.
Can you handle referrals directly from the St. Vincent ER?
Yes. ER physicians can direct dental emergency patients to our office with confidence. We accept same-day referrals and treat patients promptly. We do not require a formal written referral — a verbal recommendation is sufficient.
I had a jaw injury and the ER took X-rays — do I need more imaging?
Possibly. Hospital ER imaging (panoramic X-ray or medical CT) is excellent for major fractures but may miss subtle dental fractures, root fractures, and alveolar bone injuries. Our CBCT 3D scan provides dental-specific imaging at much higher resolution for teeth and surrounding bone.
Do you treat dental injuries from car accidents?
Yes. Motor vehicle accident dental injuries are a common reason for ER-to-specialist referrals. We manage fractured teeth, displaced teeth, avulsed teeth, alveolar fractures, and soft tissue injuries. Dr. Gvozden has specific training in vehicular facial trauma.
The ER wired my jaw — do I need to follow up with you?
Yes. Intermaxillary fixation (jaw wiring) requires dental specialist follow-up for wire adjustment, occlusion assessment, and eventual wire removal. Dr. Gvozden manages these cases routinely and can take over your jaw fracture care.
Can you do a root canal the same day I come from the ER?
Yes. If your ER visit was for a toothache from an abscessed or dying tooth, we can perform the root canal the same day to provide definitive relief — something the ER could not offer.
What if I need oral surgery after the ER visit?
Dr. Gvozden is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon who performs the same procedures in our office that oral surgeons perform in hospital settings: extractions, abscess drainage, fracture management, and soft tissue repair — with IV sedation available.
Do you accept the same insurance my ER visit was covered under?
We accept most major dental insurance plans. Note that dental and medical insurance are typically separate policies. Emergency dental treatment is usually covered under dental insurance, though medical insurance may apply for trauma and fracture cases.
Can you remove sutures placed at the ER?
Yes. If the ER sutured an oral or perioral laceration, we can remove the sutures at the appropriate time and assess healing. If the wound was intraoral, Dr. Gvozden can evaluate whether the closure is adequate and whether any dental injuries were missed.
I am in pain and the ER medications are not helping — can you help?
Yes. ER-prescribed medications treat symptoms, not the cause. We identify and treat the source of your pain — whether it is a dying nerve, abscess, crack, or fracture — which provides lasting relief that medications alone cannot.
How soon after an ER visit should I see you?
As soon as possible. The ER visit stabilizes your condition, but the underlying problem needs definitive treatment promptly. Call (503) 822-0096 the same day or next day after your ER visit for the earliest available appointment.
Do you coordinate with the physicians at St. Vincent?
When needed, yes. For complex cases involving medical comorbidities, ongoing hospital care, or combined maxillofacial and medical injuries, we communicate directly with your treating physicians to coordinate care.
What if the ER missed a dental injury?
This is common. ER physicians focus on life-threatening injuries and may miss subtle dental fractures, root fractures, or luxation injuries. Our dental-specific examination and CBCT imaging catch injuries that hospital evaluation may overlook.
Can you provide documentation for insurance claims from an accident?
Yes. We provide detailed documentation including clinical findings, radiographic evidence, treatment rendered, and treatment plans for insurance claims, auto accident claims, and personal injury cases. Our records meet medical-legal documentation standards.
