Meet Hinna Chaudhry, DMD
Hinna Chaudhry, DMD, provides expert general and cosmetic dentistry services to patients at Ardsley Dental Spa, located in Ardsley, New York. She is highly attentive to detail, and aims to bring a spa-like level of calm to all her patients.
Dr. Chaudhry knew at a very early age that she wanted to be a dentist. Her childhood dentist and orthodontist introduced her to the field, and it immediately captured her attention. With the motivation and drive to reach her dream job, she was accepted into an accelerated dental program during her senior year of high school. This determination is something that still motivates Dr. Chaudhry's practice and everyday life. She is always striving to do more, learn more, and help more.
Dr. Chaudhry obtained a bachelor's degree in Biology from Rutgers University in three years and immediately started dental school at New Jersey Dental School. She received her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry in 2010, graduating with honors. Dr. Chaudhry continues her education to this day by continually learning new technologies, techniques, and procedures. She is always trying to stay ahead of the game to provide a variety of services for her patients.
Dr. Chaudhry maintains memberships with a plethora of dental and non-dental organizations. She continues to perfect not just dental procedures but also cosmetic facial injectable and TMJ/Migraine treatments. She has also been trained to help patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea who are unable to tolerate their CPAP. Dr. Chaudhry is a certified Invisalign provider who continues learning advanced Invisalign techniques and also utilizes the iTero digital scanner in her practice.
In addition to being passionate about dentistry, Dr. Chaudhry is even more passionate about helping others and giving back to the community. She has been volunteering overseas since 2011 and is now clinical co-coordinator for a yearly dental mission trip to Jamaica, where she treats hundreds of children and adults who do not have access to dental care. She is also eager to achieve her dream of beginning her very own non-profit organization here in Westchester County, which will have a focus to help survivors of domestic violence.
During her free time, when she is not seeing patients or working on her charities, you can find Dr. Chaudhry running around the park with her little dog, Floyd. She knows the little things in life are the most important and tries to spend as much time as possible with her family.

Dr. Sever has further advanced his training in restorative and esthetic dentistry at the prestigious Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida, where he has completed their Essentials Curriculum, and is currently working his way through their Masters Series. Outside of his own practice, Dr. Sever is on staff as an attending dentist at his former residency, where he helps train the next generation of dentists, as well as helps oversee full-mouth dental rehabilitation cases of the community's special needs population in the operating room.
In his spare time, Dr. Sever enjoys trying out new recipes in the kitchen, traveling, and playing with his dog.

Dr. Tucker has published numerous articles on atherosclerosis and diabetes and how they are affected by periodontal disease. He has also presented this research at various meetings, including at the prestigious International Association of Dental Research seminar in Goetenberg, Sweden.
