Two doctors. One standard.

Care at Standard Dental is doctor-led from the first exam to the last follow-up. You will always know who is treating you - and they will know your history.

IMPLANT PROSTHETICS ยท ORTHODONTICS

Dr. Arta Moaddab, DDS MS

Dr. Arta Moaddab grew up in Potomac, Maryland - the community he now practices in. He earned his bachelor's degree in biology from the University of Maryland, College Park, completed a master's degree in physiology at Georgetown University, and received his dental training at the University of Maryland College of Dental Surgery, graduating in 2012. He continues postdoctoral training in his free time and excels in implant prosthetics and orthodontics.

His Georgetown training in physiology shapes how he practices: oral health treated as part of whole-body health. Patients who ask will find him generous with guidance on diet, habits, and overall well-being - not just teeth.

“Most practitioners do a good job fixing what has already broken down. To be exceptional, you have to go one step further - work with patients and teach them how to prevent the breakdown before it begins.”
