Services
Dr. Vaughn graduated from Tufts University School of Dentistry. He continues to educate himself and his team in the most current dental techniques. He has devoted himself to offering the highest level of dentistry to all of his patients. He is proud to offer the finest state-of-the-art services and individualized care in a relaxed atmosphere of cleanliness and trust.
My profession is a major part of me. Building long-term, trusting relationships with my patients is what I aim to achieve. Regardless of what has brought the patient into my care, my priority is always to listen and learn what they want, accurately diagnose, and then deliver excellent results. I especially appreciate when a new patient comes to me and says that I managed to get their relative out of pain and restored their oral health and now they want me to the same for them!Dr. Zhai obtained her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2009 at New York University College of Dentistry.
Being a dentist means everything to me. I cannot see myself spending my days doing anything other than fixing teeth and helping people. Each patient is unique and deserves individual care that works for their dental concerns and desires. Likewise, each deserves to understand the importance of maintaining optimal oral health and to be taught how to keep their smile healthy and beautiful. I care for each patient as family, always respecting their individual needs and listening to what they want from me.
Since 2003, Vaugh Family Dentistry has been honored to serve the Trumbull area, offering advanced, comfortable dentistry, tailored to individual's needs and expectations. Our doctors - Dr. Vaughn, Dr. Zhai, Dr. Gupte, Dr. Braun, Dr. Bilius, and Dr. Ali - are respected by their peers and loved by their patients.

I have been going to Vaughn Family dentistry for the last 22 years and I have recommended many of my friends to the practice. My hygienist Jose and Dr Vaughn are awesome!

This office charged the wrong insurance for some work on my sons teeth and I told them when they said it was declined that they were supposed to charge the other insurance. Instead of them charging it they let it go and tried to say two layers I owed them 600 dollars. I told them they we're supposed to charge the other insurance and they said I have to get them to pay it not them and put it on my credit report. They try to cover for their incompetence by playing coy, how can I submit a charge to insurance? Avoid this unscrupulous business at all cost.

I was so afraid to visit a dentist but no more. To begin with my wait time was less than two minutes. I had my session scheduled with Ms. Samantha and she was very kind, patient and thorough with the procedure. She explained me what are the steps and how it will be completed. Thank you!

I went in with my son for his very first dental appointment and a regular cleaning for myself. My son was an anxious mess, but Jose was so sweet and helpful with him. He put him at ease, and made him laugh and enjoy himself just a little but. Everyone else was equally as caring, making sure we were both comfortable and knew what was happening at every step. Highly recommend this place!

Dr. Vaughn is amazing! He is very genuine, and cares for his patients. He went above and beyond in taking the time to explain the procedure and make sure I was comfortable.

It was a somewhat emergency visit and I was able to get an appointment within days, at my convenience which was a huge plus. It was also my first time with Dr. Ali. He was very personable and professional, explaining everything he was doing. My procedure went well, no pain and I'm happy with the results. Thank you again Dr. Ali and your assistant, I will be back again very soon.

My wait time to see the hygienist was minimal. I had a 7:00 am Saturday appointment and the when I arrived the staff was there and my hygienist was prompt in coming to get me, did a great job in cleaning my teeth; took care with my mouth; allow time for me to ask questions. Overall I had a good experience with this office.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist! I am really afraid of needles so much so that I usually prefer to have a procedure done without an injection. At 57 years old I can finally say I am not afraid of the dentist! Dr. Vaughn was amazing! He was patient, kind, and confident that he could give me an injection I would not feel. At every moment I felt like I was in control of what was going to happen in that chair!

I took a chance and allowed him to give me the injection! He is GOOD! I didn't feel a thing and the procedure was a breeze. I am so happy I found Dr. Vaughn! Oh and his assistant Maritza was also great!

I went for a regular cleaning, usually I dread my appointments because I have a lot of build-up and it's really painful. Ever since I switched to this office, that hasn't been a problem. The hygienist I had, I can't remember her name, but she was so gentle and very pleasant to talk to! It was a breeze and it was done quick enough for me to make it to work on time. I even recommended the office to a friend afterwards, I'd recommend it to anyone!

I had my appointment on Tuesday and everything was great. The hygienist was very informative and made me feel very at ease. She explained everything and I absolutely knew she had my comfort and dental health covered. Dr. Zhai, as always was terrific. Again, she explained everything, showed rads, pictures of everything we were talking about. The office, as always, was friendly, courteous and so helpful. My dental appointments are a stress free, dare I say pleasant experience! My daughter had her cleaning/ exam the next day. Just copy the above for her as well! Thank you!

Highly recommend Vaughn family dentistry. We had a dental emergency with my 8 year old son, and they took him immediately and we had a very successful outcome. I would not go anywhere else!

Samantha was tremendous, did a fabulous job cleaning and coaching on flossing. I have had Luca and Jose clean my teeth as well and they are all also super. I will NEVER go anywhere else!

So this is probably the best place to go to the dentist. They are safe, clean, and so friendly! The hygienists are perfectly friendly, will go slow and take their time to keep you comfortable. Dr, Vaughn is great and notices any issues immediately. Dr. Zhai not only knows my name, but also remembers who I am, and goes over everything step by step. Kelly is one of the best employees there. He is calm, clear, concise, and organized making experiences which can be stressful very easy.
