Dr. Younus believes that notion so firmly that she spent 8 years in training, after dental school, to be able to treat her patients in the best possible ways. She grew up amongst a family of dentists, which strengthened her passion for the field. Dr. Younus is a dual specialist in Periodontics and Orthodontics, an achievement by only a handful of dentists.
After completing her general dentistry residency at the University of Texas School of Dentistry at Houston, she pursued a Masters in Periodontics at Saint Louis University and a Masters in Orthodontics at the prestigious Columbia University in New York. She spent a great deal of her time treating complex cases that required a multi-disciplinary approach, along with leading some ground-breaking, multi-specialty research with internationally renowned periodontic, orthodontic, prosthodontic and endodontic professors at all institutions.
At the end of her training, Dr. Younus, along with her husband, moved back to Houston to be able to raise their, now, three-year-old son surrounded by the southern hospitality of Houstonians. Her husband is a physician-scientist and, as a family, they are always yearning to explore, learn and apply the newest innovations in their respective professions. When not in the office, you would find Dr. Younus surrounded by colleagues and friends, either learning the latest advances in dentistry or coordinating treatment for her patients. She also enjoys her time teaching residents part-time at the University of Texas School of Dentistry.
Dr. Younus has gone one step further to validate her knowledge and proficiency of Periodontics and Implantology. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontics, an accolade only achieved by a small number of periodontists, and is board eligible for the American Board of Orthodontics. She is also actively involved in a number of professional and charity organizations. She is a soccer fan and foodie (by marriage) and, on weekends, is found cheering on her little boy who plays a multitude of sports in the neighborhood and all around town! If not that, you will definitely bump into her bicycling around the neighborhood, or chasing a toddler at a park or the library!
Dr. Younus works tirelessly to make the profession of dentistry better every day and was chosen by her peers to serve as a Board member of the Greater Houston Dental Society as well as a delegate for the Texas Dental Association. She currently also serves on the Legislative Action Committee and the Diversity Committee of the Greater Houston Dental Society.

It's always a good vibe coming to the orthodontist, everyone is so gentle and friendly from the receptionist, hygienist, dental assistance to the orthodontist. Its all women as of now working there and that's very empowering for me! They know you by name, flexible with appointments and times. 10/10. Can't wait to get my braces off but very happy i get to be apart of the Ortho family!

I'm a new patient of Dr. Younus and my visit was far beyond what I expected. I had somewhat developed a little rapport with Melloney via phone and it was good to put a face with the name. Everyone was friendly. Everything was explained to me before it was done. The back office staff was friendly and they greeted me with a smile. Dr. Younus was very thorough with explaining each procedure and why it was needed. I went in knowing I needed some dental work so nothing she said surprised me. I was very happy that I was given several options to improve the general health of my teeth along with my smile. I start the process of braces on Friday.

Dr. Younus and her staff have taken care of my dental health as she repairs gum-related issues and sensitivities. She is a trusted medical professional alongside my General Dentist. During my first visit, she explained what I needed done and walked me through the process. I had a procedure done today and I left with after-care instructions. I look forward to my follow-up in the coming weeks.

This place has got to be a joke, completely over priced for a mediocre office. They will triple book your appointment so expect to waiting a long time!
