I was definitely always leaning towards the math and the sciences so that, you know, narrows the field a little bit. Why dentistry? It’s challenging and I mean that in the most positive way of it is a difficult profession to take something that normally is a scary or anxious situation and convert a patient into someone that’s comfortable and to see that transition in real time is something that I really enjoy and it just feels like a net positive. It’s very much someone comes in, has a problem or a couple of problems and, you know, having the ability to positively impact somebody’s life in that moment is really cool.

Kind, friendly and funny. I have never been so happy at the dentist and excited to make a new appointment.
Dr. Cross was awesome.
And so was her assistant.
I never ever felt so at ease and comfortable.
I didn’t even tense up.
Thank you. God bless.

From the front desk staff to Dr. Vail this dental office is amazing. Not only are they kind, caring, compassionate, knowledgeable and efficient. They provide a welcoming atmosphere, scheduling is accommodating and will work with you to manage the expenses by providing services over a period of time.
I as a patient wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Vail and the amazing staff for all your dental needs.

I have been a patient at Vail Dental Associates for 40 years. The dentists and staff are exceptional. They are skilled professionals who are also kind and caring. I would not trust my dental care with anyone else. They are the best!
Patricia Pagano
Our family has gone to this dental practice for many years. The staff is professional and friendly. The dentists are knowledgeable and caring. They’ve made special arrangements to see us when we’ve had emergencies, and we were given options when something major was needed. I highly recommend them!
Beth Parker Wieczynski
Dr. Vail (junior) recently fixed 2 chipped teeth for me, and another 2 for my husband, with composite veneers. We are both thrilled with the results. An inexpensive (compared to other estimates we got), quick procedure & very natural… looks just like our original teeth!

Everyone at Dr. Vail’s office is amazing but I would like to mention Lamia, who is an exceptional associate who I noticed consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her patients receive top-quality care. Her approach makes even the most anxious patients feel at ease.
