Kind Words From Real Patients

Sounds crazy, but I look forward to going to the dentist now! Of course, not every appointment is my favorite but Dr. Tran and Iris are truly a dynamic duo who always make me feel heard, relaxed and informed. I can’t recommend this practice highly enough and can’t wait to start my Invisalign treatment in 2024!

Arienne

“Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is a very modern and professional office. The staff are all extremely nice. I hate going to the dentist but I follow the recommended schedule and always go to my appointments. Dr. Tran is so nice and is a skilled practitioner. Dr Nguyen is equally wonderful. I cannot say enough good things about this office and highly recommend them to anyone seeking a dentist.”

David

“Absolutely professional, very personable and friendly. Been a patient there for seven years and have had perfect dental health thanks to their treatment. Highly recommended. Ask for their mascot, Mavis! Been going there nine years – every visit was a pleasure.”

Peter

“Amazing! Dr. Tran’s practice, along with her wonderful professional team (Krissy, Iris, Jennifer, Danny, etc.) is the place you need to make your next dental visit stop. Do you want a fun place? Or the old school dentist playing the elevator songs? Didn’t think so. If you are still reading here is my personal experience so far: My longtime boyfriend had an emergency dental issue and Dr. Tran and her team took him in ASAP and treated him with the with the most utmost care! After hearing this I decided to choose Dr. Tran for Invisalign® – my current dentist at the time no longer offered it. Dr. Tran and her team were so thorough in my evaluation that they immediately spotted a dental issue in which they swiftly and carefully resolved. I00% recommend this fun practice!”

Lisa

“Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is truly unmatched. As someone who used to dislike going to the dentist, I can say that is no longer the case. They are so friendly, remember you every time, provide a very COVID-safe environment, and make you feel so happy! My entire family goes here as well as numerous friends that I’ve recommended. Both Dr. Tran, Dr. Nguyen, and all the dental hygienists are absolute treasures. I could not recommend them more highly!”

Laura

“Fabulous dentistry practice! Would be hard-pressed to find one better. Extremely pleased with bedside manner, professionalism and quality of care.”

Karima

“I was referred by a coworker but I also needed to be seen ASAP as I was in so much pain and had experiencing a headache for four days straight. I also had aching pain in my left upper jaw and my face, similar to a sinus infection. They were able to quickly diagnose that I had been grinding my teeth. They gave me a quick splint, not a mouth guard I know but it is a less expensive way to temporarily help, if the grinding persists then, I’ll switch to a mouth guard if need be. The dentist was a female, sweet personable lady and I like that even though I was in terrible aching headache pain and face pain she was able to lighten the mood and get me excited about healing. Very nice location. Easily accessible. You have to look to your immediate right when you turn off of the main road. Make sure to bring your mask!”

I wish I could give them 10 stars…

“The best dental office ever!! I wish I could give them 10 stars! Dr. Nguyen & her staff have been angels during this crazy time! They’re sooo nice, respectful & they know exactly what they are doing. Ive always been weary of dentists as most people are so when I had to find a new dentist, I was so glad it was Dr. Nguyen. She has always been very sweet & thorough since I have been going to her. She explains in detail what she is doing & makes sure you’re comfortable the entire time. She also treats you like a human so you don’t have to feel bad for a cavity or needing a filling which is super helpful if you’re worried about seeing a dentist due to these issues. She has made every appointment so easy & quick which makes life so much easier especially now when time is valuable. Her staff is also one of the best I have ever had to deal with! They’re always smiling & willing to help. Love that! I also like how they have been taken extra precautions to be safe during the pandemic! This is the best place to go on Fairfax County!”

“I went for a cleaning after not having one for an embarrassingly long time, and did not feel judged. You can tell the employees like working there. It is the most playful I’ve been during a dental appointment. They made it fun!”

Liz

“Fantastic dental office. Dr Nguyen is the best. She was very thorough working on my root canal. Marathon visit and she took care of everything. Now my teeth are working like new.”

Thitti

“I’ve been coming here since 2009 and I even though I work and live in DC I prefer coming to them for all my dental needs. They were able to squeeze me in last minute before the end of the year!  Everyone (the front staff, hygienists, Dr. Tran, Dr. Nguyen and Mavis the dog) are so helpful and you can feel that they love their job. The staff are so knowledgeable and I always appreciate them figuring out the right treatments for me every visit.”

Paula

“Best practices I haven’t had for a long time. All staffs are knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I love their smile and missed their laugh . See them in next 4 months then.”

John

“Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry is the best practice I’ve been to in the over 40 years I’ve been getting regular cleanings. They are personable, responsive to inquiries and make me feel very comfortable while there. I love that they use multiple forms of communication and that I can send a text to make an appointment! I would recommend them to anyone seeking a new dental practice!”

Christina

Made me feel like I was family…

“I was looking for a dentist to take care of my teeth since my old one retired. I’m very picky when it comes to this so my wife recommended Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry because she goes there and raves about them. Let me tell you from the moment that I was received, to the procedure and finally post procedure care, they made me feel so comfortable like I was a part of a family and not “just another” person. All the staff was so friendly and professional and was genuinely concerned about my comfort level at all times. Trust and believe that I will be taking my kids here soon enough. All other practices should model theirs after Fair Lakes. Well done everyone!”

“I have never really enjoyed going to the dentist, but ever since my husband referred me to this office I haven’t really been as apprehensive about the thought of going. Everyone in the office is completely professional and courteous. They all really care about each and every patient. I don’t see myself ever going to another dentist office. I really enjoy everyone that works here.”

Michelle

“Dr. Tran, Dr. Nguyen, and their team are super nice, warm, friendly, and very professional. They take care of their patients and make them feel at ease. The staff is also highly knowledgeable and explain everything that they do. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist!”

Francis

“I have been going to this practice for a few years now, and have been so impressed with everyone there that my husband and kids now go as well. The staff is all so nice, all of the equipment is VERY updated and nice, and it feels like a family-run place. I honestly cannot say enough good things about them! Drs. Tran and Nguyen are both fantastic.”

Jessica

“I cannot say enough positive things about the Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry team. They make the entire process simple and fun! I wouldn’t send my friends and family anywhere else!”

Great and painless experience…

“Great staff, great Dentists. I’ve been going to this Fair Lakes family and cosmetic dentistry since 2016 and as someone who has hated the dentist all my life they turned a poor experience I had with another hygienist (at a different facility) into a great and painless experience. They do their best at keeping you calm and the treatment PAINLESS. They’re very thorough in explaining the problem and how they’ll go about treatment and correction. Also when it comes to cost their estimates have usually been spot on so it’s makes it easier to plan financially for your treatment. I would definitely recommend my friends and family here.”

-Danya

“Such a great dentist office! That atmosphere is great along with all the staff, since I hadn’t been to the dentist in 3+ years they were very welcoming. Recommended some things that I should consider getting fixed along with giving advice on drinks to cut out of my diet, they are very informative! Looking forward to going back!”

Alexandria

“I have been with been seeing Dr. Tran for over a year. Although I had issues which can happen when you put a crown but the important factor is she feels responsible for the jobs they do at her office. I have a crown I feel have a gap and I mentioned it to her, she offers me to replace it and more important thing is she does’t put it down because it happened in the past. She discussed about the reasons which made this issue. The office is doing very well with giving you urgent appointment if you need one and they are supportive as well.”

Hosein

“My son loves coming here!! He would come every week if he could!! The friendly staff and the professional care WE receive goes above my expectation every time ! You need to check this place out, you will be completely satisfied, I am!!”

Tara

“This practice is fantastic. The whole staff is friendly and accommodating. I haven’t had one single problem with them, and I’ve been going to them for 6-7 years. They make the whole experience of dental care really comfortable. They care about how you feel during procedures, they explain things, and they just care about you. I also love that they remember little details about each patient. It shows that they are truly invested in the person.”

Carmen

“Get ready to be WOWED by Dr. Tran , Dr. Nguyen and the entire staff with the professional service and the passion they have for the dentistry profession! They apply the latest diagnosis equipment and knowledge in giving their patients the best dental experience. I’ve been a patient here for about 10 years and they have taken excellent care of all my dental needs. Currently I’m in process of the Invisalign treatment . Very effective and efficient way in straightening my teeth. I feel very blessed to have them as my dental provider!”

Darrin

Favorite dental practice ever!

“They are a brilliant, warm, gentle and sympathetic team. I had an issue and despite being busy they said I could come in right away. Dr. Tran and her team worked like a well choreographed and seamlessly conducted orchestra in order to re-arrange the entire day’s schedule so that I was accommodated and all of the other patients got the scheduled care they needed in a timely manner. This type of treatment is the rule at this practice rather than the exception. I have and will continue to recommend this great team to anyone who might need a dentist. My whole family goes here and we love it!”

“Best dental practice I have ever been to… and I have lived in 7+ states. This is long and lengthy, but if you are looking for the best staff – no matter who you come in contact with, it will be anyone at Fair Lakes Family and Cosmetic Dentistry. From scheduling an appointment, to a consultation, to routine cleaning – you will be happy with their services. I trust every administrative personnel, hygienists, and doctor at this practice. My mom is a dental hygienist – and still – I choose this dental practice over her’s (sorry mom lol).

First, the dental practice itself is gorgeous and well kept. Everything is super clean, modern and looks brand new. They truly care about their office environment and that shows. The front desk personnel, Krissy and Andrew, are BEYOND awesome. I used to fear making appointments, but you can hear the chipperness in Andrew’s voice through the phone and you can’t help but smile too. Krissy has made personal follow up calls to just check-in and see if things were ok (not even to reschedule a canceled appointment due to my dog having a seizure). They care, they go above and beyond for their patients, and it shows. The texting feature is amazing, especially because they respond right away – even if it is just to say they need to check with the doctor. With how much I text, they must have had to hire a dedicated person to answer my messages lol.

I first went to see Dr. Tran right before COVID was a thing, and I already have extreme anxiety around dentists from bad past experiences. The first thing they did when I was in the chair (just for a consultation having just left a different practice in Tyson’s because I wasn’t impressed with their staff) – was that they asked what they could get me, turn the tv to, or do to help me relax. I have never waited more than 5 minutes at this practice, when usually you can expect to wait 20-40 mins minimum anywhere else you go. They don’t overbook and never keep you waiting.

Their chairside manner is beyond and it shows by how much I could overhear their patients share details of their personal lives (How was the wedding, how’s your dog, how’s your kids? etc). A year later, the dental hygienist Linda even remembered minor details that I had shared at the previous visits which made me feel like they truly care and their dental practice isn’t a revolving door. Linda has also done my x-rays, and usually it is always an uncomfortable experience – but not with her. She is gentle, even when she cleans your teeth but also attentive in pointing out areas that you could improve, but even notices in next visits where you have taken her suggestions and how impressed she is on how much better your teeth are.

My main concern with my smile was that I didn’t like the small gap that had developed over time between my two front teeth. During the consultation, Dr. Tran voiced that there are major cavities that I need to get taken care of but listened to my wants/needs on first fixing my smile to help with my confidence. To me this is huge – having a doctor actually listen to you. Dr. Tran fixed my smile and did an amazing job! I get so many compliments after fixing such a minor change, and more importantly – boosted my confidence. Dr. Tran was diligent and is definitely a perfectionist when it comes to her cosmetic craft on teeth – which is what you want whenever you are getting any type of work done to boost your appearance.. I highly recommend any type of cosmetic dentistry to be performed by Dr. Tran.

After the cosmetic surgery, of course COVID-19 hit and most places had to shut down. Upon reopening – I was even more anxious and nervous because I am also high risk. I could not be any more impressed with the procedures the entire dental practice put into place to make me feel safe – in probably one of the most high risk environments (hello spit flying everywhere..). I felt so bad for them in all their PPE – but extremely grateful for how much they went above and beyond to again make sure I felt safe and comfortable. Even today, when there are vaccines available, they have maintained strict protocols because to them health and safety is of their utmost importance and there is nothing you want more when choosing a dentist or doctor.

Moving onto the cavities… my mouth was a mess – there was a possibility of needing maybe 3 root canals at the time, and Dr. Tran promised me she would do anything in her power to not make that happen. And she did! I pretty much spent my summer of 2020 in that chair – as she went to work on my mouth. I NEVER ONCE felt pain or discomfort. I never once felt anxious. She was attentive, constantly asking if I felt like I needed any more pain needle things, because she knew how nervous I was. And she never once made me have any discomfort or pain. Now, if there is ever another cavity, I won’t lose sleep the night before being up with anxiety because I know I can trust to have a good experience. Dr. Tran’s dental assistant, Diana, is also amazing and was always the same person assisting Dr. Tran through each visit which gave me a lot of comfort. She was very attentive and also asked if I ever needed anything, and always checked in on me to make sure I was ok.

Fast forward to 2021… I had to move to Pittsburgh for unforeseen circumstances, and unfortunately missed my 6 month check in. Some kind of infection got into my mouth and caused my face to swell up like a balloon. Dr. Nguyen hopped on a zoom call with no hesitation to try and see what was going on from 200 miles away. She was compassionate and caring, and wasn’t trying to rush me off the phone to get to a patient that was in person. She was able to prescribe medications at a pharmacy local to me, and get me into an appointment in their office as soon as I was able to make the commitment to drive back to Virginia. She also provided me with referrals to get second opinions on what may be going on, and even asked if I wanted some in the Pittsburgh area. In person, she made time to answer any and all of my questions on the next steps – and took the initiative to double check anything x-rays may have missed to make sure I would be able to handle everything while I was in town. She made me feel confident and lessened my already existing anxiety about timings of squeezing everything in and reassured me the best course of action to fix the pain and swelling I was in.

I drive the 200 miles to Fair Lakes Family Dental and Cosmetic Dentistry because I trust them. I drive because they care, are diligent, responsive, and are extremely thorough.”

“I just had my bi-annual cleaning and checkup with Dr. Nguyen and her team. I wasn’t sure what to expect during COVID but knew I needed to keep my appointment to maintain dental health. The Fairlakes Family and Cosmetic Dental team was awesome! I was warmly welcomed with a call after I notified them that I was waiting outside in my car. The whole process was smooth and everyone was their regular, considerate and friendly selves as they guided me through the new updated COVID process. I am so glad I started coming to this office a few years back and my visit today shows me that I made a great choice. My cleaning was effortless and I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Tran!”
