Dr. Justin Tabatabai
General Dentist
A Maryland native, Dr. Justin Tabatabai grew up in Gaithersburg, MD and attended Poolesville Highschool for the magnet Global Ecology program. Growing up in the DMV his whole life and through university, he is happy to continue serving our local communities and serve patients in both Washington, D.C. and Old Town Alexandria.
Dr. Tabatabai earned his Bachelor of Science by majoring in Neurobiology and Physiology at the University of Maryland, College Park. During his first two years of undergraduate, Dr. Tabatabai completed the Integrated Life Sciences honors program and obtained his honors citation. He also completed a minor in Agricultural and Resource Economics (Global Poverty). He went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in Baltimore, MD. While there, he was honored with multiple awards for leadership, clinical excellence, and research achievements.
Dr. Tabatabai served as dental class president all four years, and was inducted into multiple dental honors societies including: Omicron Kappa Upsilon National Dental Honor Society, Gorgas Odontological Honor Society, and Gamma Pi Delta Prosthodontics Honor Society — in addition to his half dozen scholarship awards. Dr. Tabatabai also participated in dental education research, participating in the ADEA Academic Dental Careers Fellowship Program for two years, conducting and presenting his research posters on pre-doctoral education and digital dentistry experiences. Additionally, Dr. Tabatabai completed a senior clerkship in digital dentistry and served on the Admissions Committee for two years, as he is passionate about helping all pre-dental and dental students find their balance in dentistry.
After dental school, Dr. Tabatabai completed a General Practice Residency at the Washington D.C. Veterans Affairs Medical Center, where he broadened his skills in all aspects of dentistry and complex-case management. While serving our nation’s veterans, he further advanced complex technical skills training including restorative, implants, prosthodontics, and surgical disciplines. He has also received extensive training in digital dentistry, especially CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and manufacturing) technology, which allows him to offer patients precise, efficient, and comfortable care.
Dr. Tabatabai is passionate about continuing his lifelong learning and is an active member with the Academy of General Dentistry, District of Columbia Dental Society, and Seattle Study Club — while currently working toward his Fellowship (FAGD) from the Academy of General Dentistry.
A lifelong Marylander, Dr. Tabatabai is excited to continue serving the DMV community and is dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality dental care at MTDP.
Outside the office, he enjoys exploring nature, training for marathons and triathlons, and traveling to National Parks. As a Maryland/Baltimore alum, he is a fan of the Ravens, Orioles, and any team of the Terps!
