// About the author[ 01 ]
Dr. Vu D. Tran leads Annandale Dental Care on Little River Turnpike, looking after families across Annandale and the wider Fairfax County area.
His day to day work covers the full range of general practice: preventive and gum care, fillings and crowns, cosmetic work, implant restorations, clear aligners, and first visits for children and teenagers. The thread running through all of it is explaining the options properly and letting people decide without pressure.
He writes here about the questions that come up most often in the chair, the ones patients tend to look up at home afterwards.
