Bio
Dr. Young grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, where her grandfather—her first and favourite dentist—inspired her early interest in the field. She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Alberta in 2010, then moved to Vancouver to complete a General Practice Residency. During this time, she gained valuable experience working in hospitals across Vancouver and abroad.
After several years in private practice in Vancouver, Dr. Young returned to Alberta and settled in Calgary. She spent nine years practicing there, often escaping to the mountains on weekends. Drawn by her love for the outdoors, she made the move to the Bow Valley three years ago and now enjoys living there full-time.
Dr. Young enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and is dedicated to helping patients feel comfortable and at ease in the dental chair. She is passionate about continuing education and has focused much of her advanced training on the art and precision of root canal therapy.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Young embraces mountain life to the fullest. She spends much of her free time trail running in the Bow Valley and, when she’s not running, enjoys reading, skiing, pottery, and spending time with family and friends. She is proud to be part of the Canmore community.
