For patients who are missing a tooth or more, Manassas Smiles provides restorative dentistry in Manassas, VA. You have many natural-looking options available, including dental implants, dental crowns and bridges, dentures, and partials. Below, you’ll find some of the frequently asked questions our dentist office receives regarding restorative dental procedures. Have questions not on this list? We encourage you to contact us and schedule a consultation with Dr. Nadder Hassan today!

What Are Dental Crowns and Bridges? How Are They Used?

Dental crowns are used to replace missing teeth or help secure a tooth after a root canal or dental implants procedure. Many patients also use dental crowns to reshape misshapen teeth or cover crooked or discolored teeth. Dental bridges are also used to replace missing teeth but may be ideal if you’re missing multiple consecutive teeth. Bridges may be removable like a denture or secured by dental implants. We customize dental crowns and bridges for your specific needs.

Does Your Office Provide CEREC® Same-Day Dental Crowns?

Yes, our dental clinic in Manassas, VA provides state-of-the-art CEREC® technology for same-day dental crowns for our patients. Because we’re capable of fabricating your dental crown in-house, you can leave with a beautifully restored smile in as little as a few hours!

Why Do So Many People Prefer Dental Implants Today?

Dental implants are one of the most requested dental restorative options today because they look and feel natural and offer many long-term health benefits. Made to mimic your natural teeth, dental implants provide superior support and stable bite alignment to preserve your facial integrity. You won’t have to restrict your diet the way you would with dentures or partials, and dental implants help prevent further tooth loss or bone deterioration. With proper oral hygiene and check-ups, dental implants are also long-lasting for a permanent tooth replacement solution.

Who Makes the Best Candidate for Dental Implants?

While many patients with missing teeth may prefer them, dental implants may not be suitable for everyone. If you have suffered extensive bone loss because of gum disease, you may require bone grafting before we can place dental implants in your mouth. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Nadder Hassan at Manassas Smiles today to see if you would make a good candidate for dental implants!

Does Your Dental Clinic Offer Dentures and Partials?

For many patients, dentures and partials still make the most sense for their restorative needs, and we’re proud to offer these options at Manassas Smiles. We’ll take your entire facial aesthetic into careful consideration when we craft beautiful, natural-looking dentures for you. Our dentist office also provides implant-supported dentures for a secure fit.

How Painful Is a Root Canal? When Would I Need One?

While we wouldn’t go as far as saying a root canal is a picnic, modern advancements in restorative dentistry have made them less painful than you may be expecting. The alternative is living with the pain of an infected tooth, which is far worse in our opinion. A root canal procedure removes decayed or infected tooth pulp tissue to save your tooth from needing to be extracted.

What Are Symptoms of TMJ Disorder, and How Do You Treat It?

Your temporomandibular joint connects your jaw and skull bones. TMJ disorder is a painful medical condition in which you may notice difficulty chewing, chronic headaches, and tension in your jaw. Our dental clinic provides TMJ treatment for both children and adults. TMJ treatment may involve fixing an uneven bite alignment with restorative dentistry techniques or Invisalign®. Some patients with TMJ also benefit from the creation of a custom-fit oral sleep appliance to minimize tension and teeth grinding at night.

Does Your Dentist Office Provide Emergency Dental Care?

When you need urgent dental care or a walk-in dentist in the Manassas, VA area, it’s reassuring to know that Manassas Smiles can accommodate you. If you have a lost crown or dental filling, a chipped tooth, or a toothache, we’ll do our best to alleviate your pain with same-day emergency dental care if possible.

When Is Tooth Extraction Necessary vs. Saving a Tooth?

Manassas Smiles works hard to restore and save teeth for our patients whenever possible. However, some patients may require tooth extraction. Wisdom teeth removal is a typical example of when a tooth extraction is necessary. Rest assured, we’ll customize our family dental care to suit your needs.

Do You Offer Financing Options for Restorative Procedures?

We accept cash, checks, and all major credit cards, as well as offer financing options and phased treatment planning to accommodate patients with HSA/FSA requirements.
