Dr. Shahdad Arami, DDS
Cosmetic, Restorative & Implant Dentist at Northridge Dental Group
Dr. Shahdad Arami, DDS is a cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentist at Northridge Dental Group in Northridge, California. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry in 1993 and has spent over 30 years caring for patients throughout the San Fernando Valley.
As co-owner of a practice established in 1974, he treats patients across every stage of care, from routine visits to complete smile makeovers, with a particular reputation for putting anxious patients at ease.
Areas of Expertise
Dr. Arami specializes in cosmetic dentistry, restorative dentistry, and implant dentistry, with particular experience helping anxious patients feel comfortable in the chair.
His cosmetic work centers on porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, dental bonding, and digital smile design, the process of planning a smile makeover before any treatment begins. On the restorative side, he provides dental crowns, bridges, and full mouth restorations, along with dental implants for patients missing one or more teeth. He also offers Invisalign® clear aligners for patients who prefer to straighten their teeth without traditional braces.
Because implant treatment at Northridge Dental Group is handled entirely in-house, Dr. Arami's patients complete every phase of care, from initial planning through the final restoration, in one office without outside referrals.
Patients often mention his gentle chairside manner and close attention to detail, which matters most in cosmetic work, where small differences in shape and shade are the easiest to notice. His goal with every restoration is the same: a result that looks natural and functions properly for years.
Philosophy of Care
Dr. Arami's residency training in treating phobic and medically compromised patients shaped how he approaches every visit: comfort first, then treatment. Many of his longtime patients first came to the practice nervous about dental care, and stayed for decades.
"Patients come in, and they become a part of your practice and your family. I mean, I love my patients and care for them dearly."
That family approach runs through the whole practice. Dr. Arami works alongside a clinical team of seven dentists whose specializations span general practice, periodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery, which means his patients rarely need a referral outside the office for any stage of their care.
