Your Trusted Specialty Partner in Greater Portland & Washington County
At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, we value our collaborative relationships with dentists, pediatric dentists, prosthodontists, and orthodontists throughout Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, Tigard, and the greater Portland metropolitan area. We recognize that referring your valued patients to an outside office requires complete trust — trust in our clinical excellence, trust in our patient communication, and trust in our professional ethics.
Our multi-specialty center serves as an extension of your practice. By providing hospital-grade diagnostic technology, advanced sedation, and board-credentialed specialists in periodontics, endodontics, pediatric dentistry, and dental implantology, we enable your office to take on complex multi-disciplinary cases with total confidence.
The ADSC "Treat & Return" Clinical Covenant
We know that the primary concern of many referring dentists is patient retention. You have spent years building relationships with your patients and their families. Our referral philosophy is anchored in an unyielding, written Treat & Return Covenant:
Our Guarantee to Referring Colleagues:
- Strict Scope of Care: We perform strictly the specialty procedure(s) for which your patient was referred — whether that is implant fixture placement, LANAP laser gum therapy, microscopic root canal retreatment, or pediatric sedation.
- Immediate Restorative Return: Once surgical or endodontic endpoints are achieved and biological stability is confirmed, we immediately and formally transition the patient back to your office for all definitive restorative dentistry (custom abutments, crowns, fixed bridges, or overdentures).
- Zero Solicitation: We never solicit, suggest, or provide routine preventive or general dental services to referred patients. If a patient inquires about staying at our office for routine care, our clinical and administrative team affirmatively directs them back to your practice.
- Comprehensive Restorative Package: When returning an implant case, we provide complete prosthetic documentation — including implant brand, fixture line, platform diameter, exact torque specifications, and impression coping/scan body details.
Specialty Scope: What You Can Refer to ADSC
1. Microscopic Endodontics & Apicoectomy
Our specialized endodontic operatory suites are equipped with advanced surgical operating microscopes providing up to 20x magnification, coaxial shadow-free LED illumination, and ultrasonic micro-instrumentation:
- Complex Canal Morphology: Negotiation and disinfection of calcified pulpal chambers, C-shaped canal anatomies, severe apical curvatures, and missed canals (MB2 canals located and treated in >90% of maxillary molars).
- Non-Surgical Endodontic Retreatment: Safe removal of prior gutta-percha, carrier-based obturators, silver points, separated instruments, and cast posts under microscopic visualization.
- Micro-Surgical Apicoectomy: Targeted 3mm root-end resections, ultrasonic retro-cavity preparation, and bioceramic retro-seals (MTA, Biodentine) for persistent apical lesions unresponsive to coronal retreatment.
- Dentoalveolar Trauma Management: Luxation, avulsion, intrusive displacement, horizontal root fractures, and regenerative endodontic procedures (pulp revascularization) for immature permanent teeth with open apices.
2. Periodontics, Bone Regeneration & LANAP Laser Therapy (Dr. Walied Eldomiaty)
Our specialized Periodontist, Dr. Walied Eldomiaty, provides advanced surgical and non-surgical periodontal therapy with an emphasis on biological tissue conservation:
- LANAP® (Laser-Assisted New Attachment Procedure): Utilizing the patented PerioLase® MVP-7™ Nd:YAG pulsed laser to achieve true periodontal regeneration (new bone, new cementum, new PDL) without scalpels, incisions, or sutures — ideal for medically compromised or dentally anxious patients.
- LAPIP® Protocol for Failing Implants: Decontaminating infected titanium surfaces and regenerating bone around implants affected by peri-implantitis.
- Soft Tissue Grafting & Root Coverage: Connective tissue grafts, free gingival grafts, and minimally invasive tunneling techniques to treat severe gum recession, eliminate root sensitivity, and reinforce zones of keratinized gingiva prior to orthodontic or restorative therapy.
- Functional & Aesthetic Crown Lengthening: Establishing biological width (minimum 2.0 mm supracrestal attached tissue) for deep margins, fractured teeth, or gummy smile corrections.
- Ridge Augmentation & Sinus Elevation: Lateral window and crestal sinus lifts, guided bone regeneration (GBR), and Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) biologics to reconstruct deficient alveolar ridges.
3. Pediatric Dental Teamry
Our pediatric dental department provides comprehensive, compassionate pediatric dentistry for infants, children, and adolescents:
- Infant & Pediatric Laser Frenectomies: Precise 90-second diamond-wave laser release of tethered oral tissues (tongue-ties and lip-ties) to resolve breastfeeding latch failure, maternal nipple pain, infant reflux, speech impediments, and airway restriction. Our pediatric team coordinates directly with local International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs).
- Minimally Invasive Biological Pediatric Care: Drill-free Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) treatments and SMART / Hall Technique restorations for young or pre-cooperative children.
- Neurodiversity-Affirming Protocols: Tailored sensory accommodations, low-stimulation operatory suites, and desensitization visits for pediatric patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), sensory processing differences, ADHD, or acute medical fragility.
- Pediatric Anxiety Management: Inhaled nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") and safe in-office oral conscious sedation protocols.
4. 3D Computer-Guided Dental Implantology
For dentists who prefer to restore implants rather than surgically place them, our surgical team offers fully guided surgical solutions:
- Prosthetically Driven 3D Planning: We merge 3D CBCT datasets with your restorative optical scans to position implants precisely where your definitive crown requires them.
- 3D-Printed Surgical Stents: Full-guidance osteotomy protocols ensuring exact angulation, depth control, and 360-degree cortical plate thickness.
- Immediate Socket Preservation: Atraumatic extractions with particulate bone allografting and PRF membranes, maintaining alveolar ridge height and width for future restorative success.
Diagnostic Imaging-Only Referrals (3D CBCT)
Do you need a high-resolution 3D volumetric scan for a patient whose treatment you plan to perform in your own office? We welcome imaging-only referrals.
Your patient visits our facility for a quick 15-minute imaging appointment. We perform the scan according to your exact field of view specifications (5x5 cm, 8x8 cm, or 13x15 cm) and deliver:
- The full, raw DICOM volumetric dataset exported to a secure, HIPAA-compliant download link or flash drive.
- Embedded free viewing software (compatible with PC and Mac) allowing your clinical team to slice, rotate, measure, and cross-section the 3D volume on your own office workstations.
- Zero clinical consultation or unsolicited treatment recommendations provided to your patient — they are treated strictly as an imaging referral.
Interdisciplinary Communication Workflow
We know that poor communication from a specialty practice frustrates referring doctors. At Aloha Dental Specialty Center, we maintain structured, predictable reporting benchmarks:
- Prompt Patient Contact: Upon receiving your referral, our dedicated referral coordinator contacts the patient within 1 business day (or same-day for acute emergency referrals).
- Comprehensive Consultation Narrative: Following the initial specialty consultation, we transmit a written clinical narrative detailing our clinical findings, diagnostic radiographs, periodontal charting, and proposed treatment sequence.
- Surgical & Operative Benchmarks: You receive timely notification immediately following completed surgical or endodontic procedures, including postoperative radiographs and healing notes.
- Formal Restorative Hand-Off: Once healing or osseointegration is confirmed, we send a formal release letter instructing the patient to contact your office for definitive restorations, accompanied by complete prosthetic component specifications.
