Our Testimonials

Patients Love Us!

Dr. Yusun Gohard

Dr Gohard was recently nominated for inclusion in Who’s Who in America, which features some of the most distinguished professionals from around the globe in their professions every year.

Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Since 2007, Dr. Gohard has provided her patients with warm and professional comprehensive dental care as a practitioner at A Healthy Smile Dentistry. Long dedicated to her passion of doing the right thing for people, she realized her talents in dentistry purely by accident, but was gratified to discover she held a natural skill in the discipline. In addition to receiving a Bachelor of Arts in biology and chemistry from the University of Denver in 2000, she earned a Doctor of Dental Surgery at the New York University College of Dentistry in 2004. After completing an internship and residency at Beth Israel Medical Center, Dr. Gohard was accepted in the exclusive dental postdoctoral fellowship program in implantology at NYU Langone Medical Center.

Dr. Gohard is board-certified in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, and concentrates her practice in restorative and cosmetic dental procedures.

Biography

I grew up among the beautiful landscapes of New Mexico and eventually found myself diving into the world of biology and chemistry at the University of Denver. From there, I packed my bags for New York City, where I earned my DDS at NYU and completed a residency at Beth Israel. I even took on a two-year implantology program just for fun—because why not?Fast forward 21 years in dentistry, and time has absolutely flown by! I’ve been having a blast blending my love for learning with my passion for helping people, and I’ve been an Invisalign provider since 2012. I love using this gentle, minimally invasive approach to craft healthy, long-lasting smiles. For me, it’s all about putting compassion into action, helping my patients feel great, and having a little fun along the way.

When I’m not at the practice, you’ll find me out and about with my two awesome boys, exploring the outdoors, and continuing to learn and grow. I can’t wait to welcome you to our dental family and share this journey with you!My Passion for Invisalign and Cosmetic DentistryI’m truly passionate about incorporating Invisalign into my practice because it’s more than just a cosmetic solution. For me, Invisalign is a cornerstone of conservative and minimally invasive dentistry. It’s about placing teeth in their ideal position to promote not just a beautiful smile, but long-term dental health and longevity. It’s no longer just about shaving teeth down for aesthetics; it’s about preserving natural tooth structure and aligning teeth in a way that reduces the risk of future complications like root canals or tooth loss.By using Invisalign, I can help my patients achieve a healthy, lasting smile in the most gentle way possible. It’s about blending health and aesthetics, ensuring that the work we do today stands the test of time. For me, that’s the best kind of dentistry—combining beauty, function, and a gentle touch for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

TMJ and Botox Treatment

During the pandemic, I began incorporating Botox treatments for many of my patients suffering from TMJ disorders, and the results have been life-changing for many. TMJ issues often lead to chronic headaches, teeth grinding, and even broken teeth. Botox works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles, essentially addressing the root cause of the tension and pain. This minimally invasive approach not only alleviates discomfort but also helps prevent the need for more extensive dental procedures down the line.In my experience, Botox has become a valuable tool in providing relief and improving quality of life for those with TMJ. I truly believe it’s a powerful option that fits into a philosophy of treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms, and it aligns perfectly with my commitment to minimally invasive care.

Dentures Procedure in Florham Park

Whether you already have missing teeth or you are visiting our dental office and find out that dentures might be a good option for you, every patient may experience a different type of preparation for dentures. First, Dr. Gohard will examine your mouth to see if you need to have any additional teeth pulled before beginning the dentures procedure. If you have only a few remaining teeth and their future doesn’t look promising, we might recommend having them pulled.

Once Dr. Gohard has declared you a good candidate for dentures, she will provide you with a pair of temporary dentures to wear until your permanent ones arrive from the lab. If you recently had teeth pulled, we will need to wait until your gums completely heal to take impressions for your permanent dentures. While you wait for your permanent pair to return from the lab, you will wear temporary dentures which will help you get used to the feeling of wearing them daily. Once your gums are healed from any extractions you had, our dentist in Florham Park will take impressions of your gums.

When your permanent pair of dentures return from the lab, Dr. Gohard will have you try them on to confirm that they fit correctly. If necessary, she will make adjustments so they fit more comfortably. Once the fit is right, you can be on your way.
