Dr. S Michael Vaughan

Hi, I’m Dr. Michael Vaughan. I became a dentist because I love working with people and helping them feel confident about their health and their smile. My approach to dentistry is rooted in empathy, precision, and genuine connection—I want every patient to feel respected, understood, and cared for. I studied Exercise Science at Brigham Young University (BYU), then earned my dental degree with honors in research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB). Afterward, I completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency through New York University (NYU), where I gained advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, prosthetics, oral surgery and implants. Since 2016, I’ve been practicing full-time and have spent the past eight years as a practice owner. Outside the office, I enjoy life’s adventures with my amazing wife, who’s originally from Peru, and our four young children. Life at home is filled with joy, lively moments, and more dad jokes than my kids care to admit. I also enjoy camping, sailing, reading, and speaking Spanish — so if Spanish is your preferred language, I’m happy to connect with you that way. What I enjoy most about dentistry is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and help people feel at ease in the dental chair. I’m excited to get to know you and support you in achieving a healthy, confident smile that lasts a lifetime.
