Services
At 5 Star we offer a variety of general dental services to better assist our patients. We also work closely with other healthcare providers in the Beaverton/Hillsboro area for referrals so our patients are sure to get their oral health needs met.
Deep Cleanings
Did you know gum disease can be reversed if caught early? As part of your annual procedure your practitioner will use a special tool to remove plaque from each tooth; top to root. A coat of fluoride is then applied to further protect teeth from tooth decay. Deep cleanings can help prevent gingivitis and gum disease from ever setting in and is a great starting place for combatting chronic bad breath.
General Consultations
From tooth aches, to preventative care, to sore gums, to everything in between, we are here to help! In addition to yearly consultations we are also available to diagnose and treat day to day dental troubles that arise.
Tooth Extraction
Sometimes a tooth can cause more trouble than its worth, and when that happens, it needs to be removed. This can happen for many reasons like crowding, severe fractures, gum disease; but the procedure is reserved for the last possible option. Regardless of the reasoning, our practitioners will work to make sure you are comfortable and the removal is both gentle and expertly executed.
Fillings and Crowns
Many times, tooth restoration comes in the form of fillings and crowns. There are 3 types of this restoration. Onlay, inlay, and crowns, which are for when most of the exposed part of the tooth is compromised. They are all available in a plethora of shades to match your natural tooth color and can last for up to 10 years.
Dental Veneers
Veneers are used to improve the appearance of teeth that may have been damaged or permanently discolored. This procedure requires a small portion of the outer enamel to be removed so a cap can be fitted on top. This means each tooth is custom fit and they don't appear bulky or unnatural. Veneers can be applied to many or few teeth at a time and can be colored to match natural teeth or brightened to your liking.
Dentures
Dentures are a cost effective way to restore the function and appearance of multiple teeth. Depending on overall tooth health and long term oral goals, a partial or full denture may be necessary. Every type of denture is custom made to perfectly fit the patients mouth and give them their best smile. After a full evaluation, our team will go over personalized options for creating your dentures.

Dental Implant Restoration
Much like veneers, dental implants help to improve the look of your smile. However, they have added benefits of permanence and function. The procedure for implants is a multi-step process which involves placing a titanium post in the jaw followed by attaching a custom tooth implant to the top. They are low maintenance, feel just like natural teeth, and only the top tooth implant will need to be replaced about every 10-15 years.
Root Canal Therapy
More commonly referred to as simply a 'root canal', this procedure takes place when bacteria makes it way into the pulp center of the tooth and causes immense pain and discomfort for the patient. During this procedure the pulp from the infected or abscessed tooth is removed. The resulting cavity is then thoroughly cleaned and sealed back up with a filling.
