Vinson Vig, DDS, MSD

“I chose the specialty of endodontics because of the satisfaction that comes with alleviating patients’ discomfort and have done so in a pleasant, smooth, and even fun manner. My goal is to change how root canals have been perceived in the past, by creating a fun, friendly environment for the patient, myself, and the staff. The people I have met over almost 20 years of practice have made me smile just as much as I have made them smile. I enjoy what I do, and look forward to coming to work each day!”

Dr. Vig traveled to Bristol Bay, Alaska, in July of 1996 to volunteer his services as a dentist for The United States Public Health Service. Most patients Dr. Vig treated were of the Inuit or indigenous population, and he performed dentistry for those in need. Dr. Vig began private practice at Southwest Endodontics & Periodontics, Inc. in 1997 upon his return to Cleveland. Dr. Vig is a passionate hockey, soccer and squash fan, and has served as a licensed coach though the Ohio Youth Soccer Association North for local youth soccer teams. He still serves as an Assistant Clinical Professor at Case Western Reserve University, and has done so since 1997. He holds dual citizenship in the United States and Canada, and is licensed to practice Endodontics in both countries. Dr. Vig is married and is the proud father of three children. In his spare time, Dr. Vig plays guitar and is active with his children.
