WINSTON YOUNG, DDS

“I was always fascinated with the health sciences. Dentistry created a great avenue for me because of the direct patient interactions and the physical nature of using my hands and creating art. I like educating patients because it’s important to understand what is happening to your health. I make it a point to be transparent. Throughout my career as a dentist, I’ve been privileged to meet people from all over the world and to form many friendships. I aim to make your dental visits informative and comfortable, and I hope to make you smile along the way!”
