Dr. Shohreh Sharif has spent nearly 25 years building Greater Washington Dentistry into one of Northern Virginia's most trusted orthodontic practices, combining advanced technology with a genuinely calming patient experience.

Finding an orthodontist who combines genuine clinical expertise with a calming environment is harder than it sounds. Many patients, especially children, carry real anxiety about dental visits, and that apprehension often leads them to delay necessary care until problems become emergencies. Dr. Shohreh Sharif, founder and CEO of Greater Washington Dentistry, has built her practice around solving that exact problem from her base in Fairfax, Virginia.
With offices in Fairfax, Fair Oaks, and Merrifield, Dr. Sharif's practice has served the Northern Virginia community for almost 25 years. That kind of longevity in a competitive market does not happen by accident. It comes from a consistent track record of delivering excellent results while making patients feel genuinely comfortable, an approach that has earned the practice a strong reputation across the region. Families return because they trust the care, and referrals have become one of the primary drivers of the practice's sustained growth over the years.
The practice focuses on comprehensive orthodontic services and has become particularly well known for its emergency care offerings. Dental emergencies rarely happen at convenient times, and having access to a provider who understands a patient's full orthodontic history can make a meaningful difference in outcomes. Dr. Sharif's team is equipped to handle urgent situations efficiently, reducing both physical discomfort and the anxiety that inevitably accompanies unexpected dental problems.

Dr. Sharif recently reflected on what has driven the practice's success since its founding. The vision was straightforward from the beginning: create a setting where patients receive top-tier orthodontic care without the clinical intimidation that so often defines dental visits.
"When Greater Washington Dentistry: Dr. Shohreh Sharif was founded, it was made clear that we wanted to be recognized in the industry in providing the most convenient dental care to our patients in a relaxing and advanced setting. One of the biggest obstacles we encountered was the occurrence of other dental problems among adults and children. We were able to overcome those different challenges because of our steadfast dedication to help children and the whole community of Fairfax to achieve pleasant and healthy smiles."
That philosophy has shaped every aspect of how the practice operates. From the design of the office space to the way staff interact with patients, the goal is to remove the fear factor that keeps so many people away from the orthodontist's chair. It is an approach that works particularly well with younger patients, who often form lasting impressions of dental care based on their earliest experiences. When children associate the orthodontist with a positive, supportive environment rather than clinical coldness, they are far more likely to maintain good oral health habits into adulthood.
Innovation plays a central role in how Dr. Sharif's team maintains its high standard of care. The practice is constantly evaluating new techniques and technologies that can improve patient outcomes while reducing discomfort and treatment times. Staying current matters in orthodontics, where advances in materials and digital planning tools have meaningfully changed what is possible for patients of all ages. The willingness to adapt and invest in new approaches has kept Greater Washington Dentistry at the forefront of orthodontic services in the region.
Looking ahead, Dr. Sharif plans to maintain the practice's leadership position in comprehensive orthodontic care throughout Northern Virginia. The commitment to sincere, patient-centered service in a calming environment remains the foundation of everything the practice does, and that is unlikely to change as the practice continues to evolve.
