Dr. Ardalan Sanati and Dr. Shohreh Shahram

Dr. Ardalan Sanati and Dr. Shohreh Shahram are the husband-and-wife owner-dentists behind McLean Dental Loft, bringing a shared passion for exceptional, detail-oriented dental care to every patient they serve.

Both doctors completed their undergraduate education at Semmelweis University in Budapest in 2003 and subsequently earned their Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degrees from the New York University College of Dentistry in 2008.

They were both drawn to dentistry by the same core belief—that small details can make a big difference in someone's daily life. At McLean Dental Loft, their greatest reward comes from building genuine relationships with patients, helping them feel comfortable, confident, and truly proud of their smiles. Together, they've cultivated a practice built on trust, warmth, and a team that feels like family.

Outside the office, both doctors share a love of good company, cats, and the written word, and enjoy spending time with their 16-year-old daughter.
