Get to know Dentist Dr. Fadwa Nassar, who serves patients in Falls Church, Virginia.

With comprehensive knowledge and expertise in all aspects of general dentistry, Dr. Nassar tends to patients’ dental needs at her private dental practice – Falls Church Comprehensive Family Dentistry – located in Falls Church, Virginia. Determined to enhance her patients’ quality of life, her mission is to provide comprehensive oral health in a family-friendly setting in which patients can rely on an optimal level of quality care to achieve the best results possible. 

At a young age, Dr. Nassar became interested in dentistry, inspired through the example of her pediatric dentist. Her love and passion for art and science played a part in her career choice. 

A native of Sudan, she relocated to the United States to attend New York University, earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1999. Wanting to further her training, she completed her general practice residency at the Medical College of Virginia and Veterans Affairs Hospital.

In order to stay up to date in her field, she remains an active member of the Northern Virginia Dental Society and the American Dental Association. She also finds fulfillment in serving others in volunteer outreach efforts through her dental practice and beyond.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Residing in Alexandria, Virginia, Dr. Nassar enjoys spending time with her family and friends when she is not working. She is a soccer and tennis enthusiast, as well as a great cook.
