About Benjamin Young, DDS, MS

I have been a dental assistant (in high school working for my Dad), a dental student (obviously), and a general dentist with my first practice experiences as a Captain in the United States Air Force. If you want the whole story, let me tell it to you in my Podcast (click on the navigation bar at the top of your screen).

In 1988 I became an official periodontist having graduated from the residency program here in San Antonio while still on active duty. My first assignment as a periodontist was Sheppard AFB, Wichita Falls, Texas practicing and teaching in an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program for newly graduated dental students. This was like the one I attended my first year following Dental School graduation. In 1993 I returned here to San Antonio to become a part of the Air Force Periodontics Residency Program at Wilford Hall and also to direct the Air Force equivalent to a dental hygiene school.

In 1995 I was given the opportunity to retire at fifteen years active duty at the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to make room for younger captains to join the ranks. It was a family decision to remain here in San Antonio so my two daughters could graduate from high school without having to move one more time for dad’s career. As it turned out they both married their high school sweethearts and I now have two adult sons, two happy daughters and seven grandchildren out of the deal. I stayed one more year on active duty and retired in 1996. This gave me time to begin to figure out how to enter the world of private practice. My practice began in early 1997 and at the same time I worked part time as an associate clinical professor at the dental school.

Around 2007 I changed careers to help launch a new technology company by the name of Voxelogix known for the NeXsmile procedure. In 2008 we were hit by a huge recession and the investment capital necessary to grow the company dried up. Voxelogix ironically won a prestigious Frost and Sullivan award for innovation in the field of Oral Surgery just before going bankrupt having been unable to obtain the needed capital to continue to grow. But all was not lost. From this experience I now practice completely differently using advanced technologies I helped to develop in Voxelogix. This includes the placement of dental implants using 3D printed surgical guides designed from a patient’s unique CT scan data.

Around 2011 I was starting back for the second time into private practice. Interestingly, a lot had changed since 1996. Many of the conventional methods of associating with other dentists no longer seemed to work as well thanks to the massive technology changes that fueled the growth and relevance of social media. What has not kept up with change as well has been dental insurance. Out of all of these personal and social changes over the last decade I have reimagined my own practice of periodontics and written a how-to-floss book, The Joy of Flossing. You can listen to it for free or buy it on Amazon as either a soft bound book or Kindle download. In 2015 I embarked on laser training. This over one-hundred-twenty-thousand-dollar investment in education and equipment now enables me to treat active periodontitis in less time, with less postoperative discomfort and less cost compared with conventional surgical techniques.

To sum up. I am an inquisitive guy who is fascinated by the specialty I practice. I also love dentistry, medicine, science, and the humanities, and talk and write about all of it. The reason I do is because I believe patients need more than technical procedures. They can benefit from good information and encouragement from people they choose to get to know more than just superficially.

Dental Implant Procedures by Dr Young

Dental Implants

A dental implant is a root-form titanium screw that is surgically placed in the jaw to create an anchor for teeth to be built upon. Dental implants are considered the best way to replace missing teeth.procedure before image Dental Implantsprocedure after image Dental Implants

Single Posterior Implant

The majority of dental implants involve the replacement of a back tooth. Referred to as a single posterior implant, this procedure is typically less complex and less costly than many people expect.procedure before image Single Posterior Implantprocedure after image Single Posterior Implant

Front Tooth Implant

Dental implants are an excellent option for replacing a missing front tooth in most cases. Front tooth implants are not as common as dental implants replacing missing molars or back teeth.procedure before image Front Tooth Implantprocedure after image Front Tooth Implant

Same Day Implants

With same day or immediate load implants, you can potentially receive both your implant surgery and your new teeth on the same day. However, there can be more associated risks and complications.procedure before image Same Day Implantsprocedure after image Same Day Implants

Mini Implants

Mini dental implants, sometimes referred to as MDI or narrow-diameter implants, can be an excellent option if you’re looking to replace lost teeth in areas with less bone volume or severely limited spacing.procedure before image Mini Implantsprocedure after image Mini Implants

All on 4

The AO4 procedure is considered one of the most complex dental implant treatments. This procedure involves removing all natural teeth and replacing them with 4 implants and a permanent hybrid-type bridge.procedure before image All on 4procedure after image All on 4

Full Mouth Implants

Missing most or all of your teeth due to damage, periodontal disease, or tooth decay? Full mouth dental implants, which your dentist may call full mouth restoration or reconstruction, can be a great option.procedure before image Full Mouth Implantsprocedure after image Full Mouth Implants

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes referred to as “having a tooth pulled,” a tooth extraction is a very common oral surgical procedure in which a natural tooth is removed from the jaw. An implant may be placed after adequate healing time.procedure before image Tooth Extractionsprocedure after image Tooth Extractions

Bone Grafting

After teeth are extracted, bone can atrophy or shrink to the point that bone grafting is required. Bone grafting builds up bone foundations for sufficient implant stability and strength.procedure before image Bone Graftingprocedure after image Bone Grafting

Sinus Lift

Sometimes referred to as a sinus graft, this bone grafting procedure inserts bone into the maxillary sinus cavity. The goal is to grow enough bone to support dental implants in the posterior maxillae.procedure before image Sinus Liftprocedure after image Sinus Lift

Ridge Augmentation

Ridge augmentation is a specific type of bone graft surgery which may be required prior to placement of dental implants. Commonly done after tooth extractions, this procedure prevents ridge atrophy or shrinkage.procedure before image Ridge Augmentationprocedure after image Ridge Augmentation

Ridge Expansion

This is a type of bone grafting procedure where the bone is expanded or widened enough to support dental implants. This bone grafting procedure corrects jaw bone atrophy and shrinkage.procedure before image Ridge Expansionprocedure after image Ridge Expansion

Socket Preservation

Socket preservations are simple bone grafting procedures done in conjunction with tooth extractions. The goal of socket preservation is to preserve bone for a future dental implant to be placed.procedure before image Socket Preservationprocedure after image Socket Preservation

Implant Cosmetics

The goal of implant cosmetic dentistry is to create tooth-like restorations that are strong, mimic natural beauty and completely restore natural function. Think of cosmetic dentistry as plastic surgery for teeth.procedure before image Implant Cosmeticsprocedure after image Implant Cosmetics

Dr. Young is very knowledgeable and very good at what he does. He also explains what is he is doing and what is about to happen so I am always informed. I had my periodontal disease treated and had two teeth extracted and replaced with implants. Everyone at the practice is very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. My experience was a great one, and I know that because of this treatment, I will have a healthier mouth.
