Patient Resources & Support Services at ADSC
Patient Resources Dental Care is a specialized dental service provided by the board-certified specialists at Aloha Dental Specialty Center in Beaverton, OR. Everything you need before, during, and after treatment — in one place.
Patient Resources & Support Services at ADSC
Good dental care does not stop when the procedure ends. At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, the support system extends from your first phone call through pre-operative preparation, treatment day, post-operative recovery, follow-up care, and long-term maintenance. This page links to every resource available to ADSC patients — preparation guides, post-operative instructions, financing information, anxiety support, and coordination tools for referring dentists.
Preparing properly for a dental procedure reduces complications and improves outcomes. That means knowing what to eat (and not eat) before sedation, understanding which medications to continue and which to pause, arranging a responsible driver if IV sedation is planned, and knowing exactly what recovery will look like. The resources on these pages provide specific, practical instructions — not vague reassurances.
For patients navigating the financial side of dental care, ADSC offers transparent cost estimates, insurance verification before appointments, third-party financing through CareCredit and Cherry, and an in-house dental savings plan for patients without insurance. For patients dealing with dental anxiety, dedicated resources address the specific fears and provide concrete strategies — including the availability of IV sedation for patients who need it. Every resource exists because a patient needed it. Treatment costs vary by complexity. Contact us at (503) 822-0096 for a personalized estimate with insurance benefits calculated.

Why Local Dentists Refer to Us
We work as a trusted partner to general dentists throughout the Tualatin Valley. When cases require CBCT-guided planning, IV sedation, bone grafting, or other advanced procedures, local providers refer to Dr. Ostovar for his fellowship-trained expertise and predictable results.
We handle the complex surgical phases and coordinate closely with your general dentist for seamless continuity of care from start to finish.
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.
Why Patient Education Improves Treatment Outcomes
Research consistently demonstrates that informed patients experience better outcomes, higher satisfaction, and fewer complications. A meta-analysis in the Journal of Dental Research found that patients who received structured pre-operative instructions had 30 percent fewer post-surgical complications and significantly lower anxiety levels compared to patients receiving standard verbal instructions alone. At ADSC, written and digital resources supplement the direct communication between doctor and patient — they do not replace it, but they ensure that information is available for review at home, at any hour, when questions arise.
Why Choose a Specialist?
The patient resources at ADSC are developed by the clinical team based on the most common questions, concerns, and preparation needs observed across thousands of patient interactions. They are specific to the procedures performed at this practice and the protocols used by Dr. Ostovar and Dr. Gvozden — not generic templates downloaded from a content vendor.
