Glen C Young, DDS

This office continues to amaze me. The entire staff is phenomenal. Martin, at the front desk is friendly & approachable, making the Invisalign process easy & comforting. Violetta takes care of the patients expertly & put me at ease. Dr. Young is attentive & gives each patient individualized care. A wonderful experience!
All of the staff is incredibly helpful & welcoming. I had braces before & do not recall actually enjoying the experience! I look forward to visiting this office & being taken care of by the exceptional staff. Thank you!

I’m 25 and I had braces before but my teeth started to get crooked again after I stopped wearing my retainers. So I decided that if I were to get braces again, I would do it right. I was referred by my boyfriend to Dr. Young. My boyfriend and his 2 siblings all had their braces done with Dr. Young and had a wonderful experience here so I decided I would do the free consultation here.
I liked how his clinic offered regular braces, ceramic braces and Invisalign. During my consultation I had lots of questions of which would be suitable for my needs and Dr. Young weighed the pros and cons of each for me to decide. I preferred Invisalign but since I have a heavy overbite, Dr. Young suggested regular braces would be better for me so I opted to do ceramic braces. Overall a great experience, all the staff here is well knowledgable and makes me feel at ease.

Great staff! Great facilities! Very impressed with our first visit! I would highly recommend Dr Young as an orthodontist.

My son has been a patient with Dr. Young for 7 years. He’s always been nice and professional — my son is now a teen and loves going to the office on California. The braces are removed and his teeth look AMAZING!!!

I just came back from France and have limited days back, but Dr. Young’s office did their best to accommodate me which I am very appreciative of. Dr. Young is like always very professional with his interactions with patients and his staffs are very friendly and welcoming.

On time, flexible, friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Lee has taken great care of my son’s teeth. I always feel like we get the best service from the front end staff and the highest level of professionalism from the dental staff and Dr. Lee!

We have been going to Dr. Lee for a very long time! It started with my treatment in 2002, as an adult, mother of 2. I did Invisalign and had braces for awhile. Soon after, both my daughters began their treatment as well and now we all have excellent straight teeth and beautiful smiles. Dr. Lee has done a fine job of taking care of our orthodontic needs and continues to pay attention to our retainers when they break. Dr. lee has been a fixture in the life of my children. We highly recommend him!

All my doctor visits have been very attentive, thorough, complete, helpful, caring and time saving. I associate Dr. Lee and his team with the meaning of quality and mastery of their craft. Everyone in the office is very helpful, kind, and sweet and very understanding, especially with my hectic schedule over the past year. Doctor Lee and his team were very accommodating, helpful, and considerate of my schedule. They are supportive and I can see that they are doing their best to give me the best service and most useful treatment possible. I can see that they have my best interest in mind and help me along the way and allow me to take as long as I need to get back on track in case I fall behind my Invisalign treatment. Over all I have never seen such a thorough, precise, caring, and positive, on point team before in the dental sector. I appreciate it! Thank you and I trust and would recommend Dr. Lee to everyone.

Your Review
Dr. Glenn Young made a world of difference in the health and physical looks for three members of my family; myself, my son Abe and my daughter Jacqueline. We all were fitted for braces and appreciated his kind, courteous and precise care of our dental needs. He is a perfectionist, realistic, anticipatory and completely engaged in providing the best results for a great outcome. Not only is he skilled, he is very kind and thoughtful. As a parent, I particularly appreciated his sensitivity toward my son, who has Autism and high sensory needs and his direct and honest communications with my daughter, who at the time was a typical teenage girl concerned about her appearance. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone who is looking for quality results in a professional and pleasant atmosphere.

It’s now a few years later and my teeth are very worse off than when the braces were removed. As expected, due to the prolonged back and forth adjustments when I had braces, I now have major gum recession and bone loss. No one’s mouth is built to take all that shifting. Teeth will fall out at an early age for me. Dr. Young tends to shave off the tips of teeth to get teeth to fit. Also as expected, teeth wear out over time and have now chipped off in those places. Again, I’d recommend shopping around. Maybe this office is fine, but my experience was not acceptable.

Everybody in the office is very kind and welcoming. The doctors explain the process of the braces or orthodontic treatment so you always know what they will do or what the braces will do. I like knowing what’s going to happen in my teeth and how my teeth will shift.

Everyone was very helpful in answering any questions I had and was very open and honest with all information. I left feeling very confident.

Dr. Young, Dr. Ubaldo & staff have been nothing but helpful in helping me reach a better smile. I’ve grown up with them as a child/​teenager seeking several stages of orthodontic treatment, to an adult seeking teeth straightening/​bite correction due to jaw growth. (PSA: Wear your retainers!)
From the start, Dr. Young explained the orthodontic options available to me in detail without any pressure. This was important to me to know exactly what I was getting into without any surprises.
During the process, Dr. Young & Dr. Ubaldo kept me informed on what stage I was at and where I was headed. The entire staff have always been very accomodating, including the rare emergency visit to repair a bracket after a cheat meal gone wrong.
One thing that stood out for me is Dr. Young and Dr. Ubaldo are just as passionate as me in seeing my teeth/​smile grow to their full potential. I’m still amazed when I get my folder and see my «before» pictures compared to where I am now.
I’m just about finished and am very happy with the results! I highly recommend Dr. Young, Dr. Ubaldo & staff. Thank you guys for helping create smiles all throughout SF & the Bay Area.

We stopped going there because staff is too rude (ridiculous sign in system, never seen it, even in massive hospitals), the office layout is like a mechanics workshop and they are ALWAYS late. This is for the Clement location. No problem with Dr Young’s work but there are other good orthodontists in town and they have a polite staff.

Every time we visit we have a great experience. Knowing that they are always working towards making sure my daughters teeth will look the best is always comforting. They have her best interest at heart and I appreciate that. The assistants are also very helpful and very nice to my daughter treating her like the young lady that she is.

When I told my dentist that I was seeing Dr. Rodney Lee for my braces, she was thrilled «He really is the best for adult braces» she said. And being an adult with braces, I totally agree. Dr. Lee diagnosed the best treatment plan for my situation and my teeth, not a cookie cutter approach used by many orthodontists. The office staff are professional and accommodating and the two locations were very convenient for me. I am thrilled with the results! Thank you.

I had braces as a child, lapsed in care, and sought correction from Dr. Young. As an adult I felt comfortable in Dr. Young’s office. Throughout the treatment process I was impressed by Dr. Young’s methodical approach, expertise, thorough communication and overall commitment to a successful outcome – both in terms of oral health and aesthetics. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Young is the best!!!
I’m an adult patient referred by my dentist to Dr. Young for Invisaligns, as my teeth had migrated significantly since the metal braces of my youth (er, 30 years earlier). My front teeth had rotated and overlapped significantly. This was back in 2008. I work at UCSF and chose the Laurel Heights location because it is conveniently close to a UCSF shuttle stop. The practice environment is pleasant, clean, and efficiently run. Even so, I never feel rushed because Dr. Young always takes the time to explain everything to my satisfaction and answer any additional questions I might have. Every staff member I’ve encountered has been friendly and competent, and I’ve never had any trouble getting an appointment when I need one. They are also very up-​front about what costs will be incurred, and work with you to decide on a course of action (rather than just deciding for you).
My course of Invisaligns was completely successful, and my recent visit this month was to get impressions done for a new retainer, as my previous one finally cracked in half after nearly 5 years of use (about twice as long as had been estimated). I was also pleased with how long the retainer lasted, considering that I occasionally grind my teeth at night.

Dr. Young is extremely competent. He is also extremely personable. Given how personable he is, it is baffling that his office staff is consistently rude. So rude in fact, that I couldn’t stomach the thought of continuing with the practice beyond phase 1 (an expander). I switched providers as I figured that when I am putting out nearly $ 5000 for the second phase, I at least deserve to be treated politely by the office staff. New practice and problem resolved. My daughter is getting her braces on next week.

After doing some research to find a well rated, certified Invisalign orthodontist, I came across Dr. Young and am glad I chose him. He’s very thorough in how he explains the process, for as much or as little as you may need it– he asked me how much detail I cared about before he went into it which I appreciated– some people prefer more detail than others. In all of our appointments he made sure to communicate things well and seemed to genuinely care about his patients.
I didn’t find them to be overly priced, I did ‘express Invisalign’ and received similar quotes at other places. I also really liked Audrey– she works at the front desk and was super helpful throughout the process in answering my questions. I would call her directly when I had a question and she was always helpful and very polite.
My appointments were always in the early morning, I needed to get in before heading to work– so I never had to wait too long to be seen. The dental assistants that often saw me were also very friendly.
The outcome is great, the changes I wanted to see made were made with the Invisalign and I’m happy. I appreciate a doctor who cares about his patients, so if that matters to you I would recommend Dr. Young.
