Gary Vaughn

Gary Vaughn carries a passion for helping esthetically-minded dentists create beautiful smiles. He brings nearly 45 years of experience on the bench, with the past 7 years at Pacific Aesthetic Continuum.  Over these many years, Gary has received extensive training, advancing his education and skill level to world-class notoriety.

From the onset of his career, in his quest to provide the most esthetic, functional restorations of the day, while operating a seven-person laboratory he had purchased from his mentor Steven R. Vincent in 1979, Gary sought out education and training with refractory and foil veneer techniques from the Pentron and Ceramco Corporations in the early 1980’s. Then with the advent of pressable ceramics, Gary received training from Ivoclar Vivadent, where he learned the cutback/layering technique taught by several institutions, bringing an incredible lifelike dimension to his restorative & aesthetic work. Gary also obtained extensive training on occlusion, attending the technical courses offered at the renowned Pankey Institute. Gary has recently received training and participated in several Myotronics level 1 and 2 courses, broadening his practical knowledge in the many contemporary theories of occlusion.  A faithful proponent of the NADL, he maintains his annual certification as a CDT in Ceramics by not only attending the required continuing education but also by assisting in its administration through courses offered by the PAC.
