  Let K be a p-adic field, R the valuation ring of K, and P the maximal ideal
of R. Let $Y subseteq R^{2}$ be a non-singular closed curve, and Y_{m} its
image in R/P^{m} times R/P^{m}, i.e. the reduction modulo P^{m} of Y. We denote
by Psi an standard additive character on K. In this paper we discuss the
estimation of exponential sums of type S_{m}(z,Psi,Y,g):= $sum\limits_{x in
Y_{m}}$ Psi(zg(x)), with z in K, and g a polynomial function on Y. We show that
if the p-adic absolute value of z is big enough then the complex absolute value
of S_{m}(z,Psi,Y,g) is O(q^{m(1-beta(f,g))}), for a positive constant beta(f,g)
satisfying 0<beta(f,g)<1.
