Young Philip J

I am a 1990 graduate of Williamsville East High School and received my Bachelors degree with Honors in Biological Sciences right here at the University of Buffalo. Continuing in the great tradition of the world renowned U.B. School of Dental Medicine I graduated Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1998. Following graduation I undertook further training to broaden my skills in a residency program at Millard Fillmore Gates Circle Hospital receiving a Certificate of Residency in General Practice.Because there are continuing advances in the field of dentistry I am always striving to learn the latest, state-of-the-art techniques in order to provide the best possible care for my patients.

Cerec 3D (Ceramic Reconstruction) is pivotal new technology which allows Dr. Young to satisfy patients seeking a long-lasting alternative to silver or plastic fillings. Inlays, Onlays, Partial to Full Crowns as well as any Single-Tooth Restoration can be created by Cerec 3. Dr. Young is one of only a select few dentists in Western New York trained and certified to provide this state-of-the-art service.

At my office we take patients' concerns seriously, which is why I have incorporated yet another state-of-the-art advance in dentistry today, Digital X-Rays. Digital X-Rays virtually eliminate any exposure to harmful radiation (over 90% less than traditional film). They are instantaneous, no waiting for developing, and with many tools available within the soflware itself we can enhance our ability to read and diagnose the images.

Instead of a traditional bridge, I chose a dental implant and it's beautiful and I know it will stay that way. The procedure was a snap and I know I have the best tooth replacement available. With implants, there's no need to grind down healthy adjacent teeth. The implant acts as a root to help prevent bone deterioration and delivers long lasting function and beauty. Traditional bridges will eventually lead to bone loss under the unsupported tooth. This can result in an unattractive dark space at the gumline.
