Vaughn Family Dentistry

Went there for the first time since I moved to Trumbull. I hadn’t visited a dentist in years and they were attentive and comforting.

Friendly staff. Great services. Why does the dentist need to be painful? It’s not! Service is always efficient and thorough. The office is enjoyable to be in, and my hygienist doesn’t make it awkward to listen while my mouth is being cleaned!

There isn’t a better dentist anywhere. What a wonderful office and staff. My entire family goes here. Dr Vaughn thank you to you and your staff!

Dishonest: Stopped in for a cleaning. Was pressured for X-​Ray, when I had no pain or discomfort for many, many years. I declined the X-​Rays. Next the exam consisted of less than two minutes where he put a camera on a very old crown, took some pictures up close, and showed my worst tooth to have a crack in it. After telling me that if the crack went below the gum line the tooth could not be saved, I asked if an X-​Ray would show the crack. He told me yes but after I saw the X-​Ray there was no sign of a crack on the film, and he then told me cracks don’t show up on X-​Ray! WTF? This was why I agreed to the X-​Ray! So now they want me to get a new crown put on a damaged tooth? It is fine, the root is fine, and not at all bothersome to me. It is clear to me that if he did what he wanted to do, and tried to put a crown on it, the tooth would become even more damaged, probably fracture worse, cost a lot of money for a new crown, and then probably need an extraction a short while later. My guess is the cracks are not serious, but the photographs are used to scare patients into dental work they do not need. So I ask you this: Would a dentist that cares about his patient want to take a stable situation, and almost certainly make it worse? The focus of this office is to make money. They do not hold the best interests of the patient in mind. I would not recommend them and I doubt I will go back for a follow up cleaning. The best way to treat teeth is frequently cleanings, brushing and water pick daily, and avoiding dishonest dentists like this fellow. Lets put it this way, if the two options were, leave it alone or extra a tooth that is not bothering you, which would you choose? Final thought. I bet if I had a new crown put on and went to another dentist a month later, that new dentist would recommend strongly I get a new crown all over again.

I first came to Vaughn Family Dentistry in September 2014. Luca was my dental hygienist and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better. She made me feel comfortable and at ease. On my next follow up appointment I mentioned I was going on a trip and she remembered the next time she saw me… I love the personalization. You definitely don’t feel like just another patient here. They make an effort to get to know you which is important in my book.

The best cleaning by far. They are extremely welcoming and always have a smile when I walk in. Thank you for taking care of my teeth. Will be calling soon for another cleaning.

I had a broken crown and although I was a new patient, they worked to try to get me in as soon as possible to have it fixed!

Professional, communicative and fun?! Yes! This is by far the best dental office and dental team I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with. Hard to imagine saying pleasure in dentistry but it’s true. Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Ghandi, the lovely ladies at the desk and each hygienist has been superb.
I’ve been seen 5 times in the last year, and each visit has been on time, comfortable, and solved a concern for me. Plus for being a regular patient I got FREE whitening trays custom made and receive free refills of bleach to keep my pearlies pearly. They also recommended an excellent orthodontist who I love, because if they don’t have the answer, they have a professional connection already made to help you.
Whether you’re looking for yourself, your child or your aging parent, come see them for a consultation and you will be thrilled. I can’t say enough and am confident you’ll enjoy their office, their generosity and the positive vibe you’ll walk out the door feeling.

I have been recommended Dr Vaughn from a co-​worker while I was in terrible pain. I paged him and he called me back only 5 minutes later to give me an apt 1^st thing the day after. He sent me to a specialist (b/​c my infection needed a specialist) who took good care of me. I have returned to Dr Vaughn for my cleanings and other dental works. He is very reassuring when he works, and he knows how scared I am … His whole staff is friendly and pro. I live now in NY but I still drive the 150 miles to be serviced by him… I says it all

Such a great dental office. I went here for the first time in Nov 2007. I had a cleaning and two fillings, and the staff is extremely friendly and I never had to wait more than 5 minutes in the waiting area. The office is very modern and clean, and the cleanings thorough. I have a PPO dental plan so I can go in and out of the dental network. Dr. Vaughn is not in my network, but they still submitted the claims to my insurance carrier. My insurance paid their allowed amount for the services and I did have to pay the difference. So I ended up paying a lot out of pocket. I went back in May for another cleaning and I also was fitted for a mouth guard, because I grind my teeth really bad at night and it was causing me to have headaches and severe jaw pain during the day. It has really helped a lot, I no longer experience headaches, and Dr. Vaughn was the first dentist who was able to recognize that I had a problem and treat me for it. They are great, and so professional. The only reason why I don’t give 5 stars is because they are outside of my dental plan so I do have to pay a lot out of pocket. But I dont mind because they are a great dental office.
