The local dentist, who recently opened Young Dentistry, was born and raised in town and has already spent many years working in Georgetown as an associate dentist before setting out on his own."I like seeing familiar faces come in and I like the fact that I can provide a service to the town where I was raised" says Dr. Young, who has been practicing dentistry for eight years. For Dr. Young, going into the health care field was a natural choice. His grandfather and both parents chose pharmacy as a career and Young's Pharmacy has been the family business for many years."I wanted to do something different," Dr. Young says. "Dentistry was a good fit because it combines science and health care with working with my hands and helping people." Young Dentistry provides a broad range of services from general and preventative dentistry to more complicated procedures like dental implants, cosmetic dentistry and endodontics. Dr. Young has equipped his office with the latest in dental technology, as well as kid-friendly features like movies and video games."It's been a wonderful experience being able to start with a blank sheet of paper and build what I think is an ideal dental practice," Dr. Young says.
