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’ve been a patient at this practice for decades, and hope to be one for many more. The staff are very professional and caring, and the fees are more than reasonable for the quality of service you receive. Can’t recommend them more highly.
Best dentist I’ve ever been to, kindest hygienists who explain everything they’re doing while providing a painless and enjoyable experience! Dr. Vail has a warm and fun loving personality which puts this at the top of all lists for any dental needs! Quick, comfortable, and extremely painless experience and I now look forward to going to the dentist!
We’ve been patients of Vail Dental Associates for decades. I have always been pleased with the care my family has recieved. I’m happy that we’ll be able to continue to receive care from them for a long time.
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!
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!
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!
Great team! Amazing staff! Everyone at Dr. Vail’s office is amazing but I would like thank Lamia, who is an exceptional associate who I noticed goes above and beyond to ensure her patient thank you to everyone and the staff .
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.
Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we’ll recommend a bone graft to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.
For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.
Many people do feel soreness after oral surgery, but that fades as you recover. If anything, oral surgery is done to alleviate pain and long-term oral health problems. Our dental professionals will be happy to advise you on the best way to recover from your surgery so you can get back to feeling like yourself as soon as possible.
