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’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.

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.
When it comes to a tooth extraction, or any other type of oral surgery, each case is different. The cost will ultimately depend on which tooth needs removing as well as the overall condition of your mouth. We encourage you to come in for an exam and X-rays, so we can give you an accurate idea of the cost involved.
Recovery times can vary, but healing time is approximately seven to 10 days for most extractions. You play a big role in your healing by the types of foods you eat and your activity level while you heal. The closer you follow the guidelines we give you for your aftercare, the shorter your healing time will be.
It is always important to save a natural tooth whenever possible, which is why an extraction is often a last resort at our office. A tooth extraction is reserved for times when the damage, decay, or infection is too extensive to repair or to prevent potential complications with your dental health. We also sometimes remove teeth to make room for tooth replacements or to address overcrowding in preparation for future orthodontic treatment.
