Why "Standard"

In restorative dentistry, everymaterial is measured againstone benchmark: gold.

We took our name from that idea. A standard is not the ordinary thing - it is the thing everything else is compared to. For us it means the extra time to prevent problems before they begin, honest guidance before any treatment, and the same measured care whether you are here for a cleaning or a full restoration.

Measured. Gentle. Reachable.

Your doctors

Two doctors.One standard.

Dr. Arta Moaddab, DDS MS

Dr. Arta Moaddab, DDS MS

Raised in Potomac. Biology at Maryland, a master's in physiology at Georgetown, dental surgery at the University of Maryland. He focuses on implant prosthetics and orthodontics, and treats oral health as part of whole-body health.

"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."
Dr. Melika Shatergholi, DDS

Dr. Melika Shatergholi, DDS

A University of Maryland College of Dental Surgery graduate, Dr. Melika has helped thousands of patients since 2007. Her approach is deliberately conservative: the least invasive treatment that achieves the healthiest, most comfortable, most beautiful result you can achieve.

Real patients

Unhurried care,in their words.

  • The atmosphere is so relaxing and comfortable, and Dr. Moaddab is so gentle and caring. He takes so much extra time to get to know his patients.
    Kevin S.
  • I used to be so nervous to get dental work done, but with Dr. Moaddab it's as if a close friend is taking care of me. I feel encouraged to tell him everything, because I know he won't judge me.
    Amanda M.
  • He takes his time and doesn't rush. At most offices I barely talk to the dentist. Dr. Moaddab makes sure he spends the time I need to feel comfortable.
