Our office provides patients with comprehensive patient-centered care. We tailor our dental care to each individual's unique situation. Unlike most dental offices, we have chosen to focus our care model around strong preventative care. In practice this means that each patient gets to spend more time with our providers and our providers have an opportunity to gain a better understanding of each individual's overall health and specific risk factors for dental disease. Our goal is to provide each patient with quality personal attention so that they can develop a thorough understanding of their own dental health.
Both Dr. Young and Dr. Marlin obtain extensive continuing education on a yearly basis in order to provide patients with the most current and effective treatment options. In most cases we are able to provide comprehensive care for our patients, however in certain situations we will coordinate care with other dental specialists.
In an effort to provide our patients with the utmost experience in their dental care we work closely with the top dental specialists in Anchorage. Utilizing an interdisciplinary approach to dentistry allows each patient to enjoy the unique talents of each member of the dental team and results in the ultimate level of patient care and satisfaction.
We believe in delivering patient driven, individualized, preventative care, in a comfortable and caring environment. We take great pride in our ability to generate a patient experience that is catered to your specific needs.
It is our belief that dentistry is an integral part of your overall health care and that our role is to provide you with the highest standard of care possible, while maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.
In order for this form of dental care to be effective, it requires a much deeper understanding of an individuals comprehensive health and lifestyle. We are not simply reacting to disease, we are trying to determine your individual risk factors for dental disease before the disease develops. Our goal is to always teach our patients how to be their own best dental advocate.
After all, we only get to see you 2-4 times on an average year, whereas you get to look in your mouth every day. If youre ready to see the difference between reactionary care and true preventative care join our team.
Dr Young was friendly and efficient, and took the time to explain the care I needed. Amanda offered her usual excellent attention to detail and commitment to thoroughness. She gets the job done right, no matter how long it takes! In these days of drive-through health care, it's really wonderful to find friendly, knowledgeable professionals whom I can count on year after year. Thank you both!
Dr. Young and his staff always exceed my expectations for service. I know what to expect for each visit, what services are being performed and what the cost will be. They clearly review treatment options and let me decide what I would like to do. I feel that Dr. Young takes a conservative approach and I have always been happy with the work anyone in his office performs.
A native of rural Sonoma County California, Dr. Young grew up playing sports, as well as fishing, hiking, and biking his way through the redwoods. After his graduation from high school he followed family roots back to the Pacific Northwest and attended Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA (Go Zags!), where he graduated with a B.S. in Biology. Dr. Young then headed to Omaha, Nebraska where he completed his formal dental training at Creighton University School of Dentistry (Go Blue Jays!). Following graduation from dental school Dr. Young realized a life long dream by moving to Alaska. He now enjoys exploring our great State with his wife, Molly, son, George, daughter, Emma, and best bud Granite (black lab).
Dr. Young spends much of his time out of the office fishing, hunting and skiing around Alaska but his first passion remains providing quality dental care to his patients. Dr. Young is a past president of both the Anchorage Dental Society and Alaska Dental Society and he continues to be involved with organized dentistry. He is a life long member of both the American Dental Association and Academy of General Dentistry, which hold members to high ethical standards. He volunteers locally with several 'free dental days' and also lends his hands to 'Donated Dental Services' through the United Way. He has participated in the planning and patient care at all 4 of the Alaskan Mission of Mercy events, which have been a great success. Occasionally he can also be found teaching in the UAA Dental Assisting clinic.
Dr. Marlin grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and attended college at the University of Northern Colorado where she graduated with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences. After returning home for a few years, Dr. Marlin headed back to Denver, Colorado to complete her formal dental training at the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. Out of the office, Dr. Marlin has a passion for deep sea fishing (she even caught a Marlin in Hawaii!), water skiing, hiking, travel, and baseball (Go Rockies!). Dr. Marlin is excited for the opportunity to provide quality dental care in her hometown and looks forward to new adventures in our beautiful state.
Ive lived in Alaska since 1983. My husband and I have raised 4 children here in Anchorage. I appreciate the unparalleled beauty of Alaska and love to spend time outdoors (especially hiking). I am a graduate of the Dental Hygiene Program at the University of Alaska and am an active member of the Alaska Dental Hygiene Association. I am thrilled to be working with such an exceptional team of dental professionals. As a hygienist, I would love to help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health through regular visits and patient education.'
I was born in Alaska but grew up in Eastern Washington. In 2001 I moved back to Anchorage and Alaska. I graduated from the University of Alaska Anchorage in 2010 with an Associates Degree in Dental Hygiene. I am an active member of the American Dental Hygiene Association. My husband and I both enjoy skiing and snowmachining in the winter and camping and fishing in the summer.
