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.

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.
Root canals are necessary when a tooth has become infected. This happens when bacteria reaches the pulp (the soft tissue found on the inside of a tooth). The bacteria can also cause painful inflammation, which can make it difficult to bite and chew and may interfere with your day-to-day activities. A root canal removes the inflamed and infected tissue and rebuilds your tooth.
Although many people believe that root canal therapy is painful, it is no more uncomfortable than getting a tooth filled. We’ll use a local anesthetic to make sure the tooth is numb before we begin your procedure. You can relax and feel confident that you’re not going to feel any discomfort.
Root canal therapy is a treatment that can stop the throbbing pain of a diseased tooth, save the tooth from extraction, and prevent further damage to your other teeth and your gums. Many people fear root canals, but they are typically no more painful than having a tooth filled.
