GENERAL DENTIST

Steve Philips, DDS

Communication and trust are key components of a good doctor-patient relationship. You will find that Dr. Philips will be your skilled dentist and soon thereafter a friend you can’t wait to see again! Dr. Philips spends time explaining to patients what their needs are and options for treatment then helps craft an individualized plan to meet their needs. He understands that he is treating a person, not a dental issue, and tries to create as pleasant a dental experience as possible for his patients. Dr. Philips grew up in New York and attended The New York University College of Dentistry. Following his graduation, he was able to join the United States Navy Dental Corps.

With his passion for continuing education, Dr. Philips achieved a great accolade of the Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry – only about 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. are AGD Fellows! When you see a dentist with FAGD behind their name, you can rest assured that they care about knowing the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. Dr. Philips has served as the Chairman of the District of Columbia Peer Review Committee.

GENERAL DENTIST

Jacob Young, DDS

Born and raised in Springfield, Missouri, Dr. Jacob Young’s interest in the dental field began at a very young age. He grew up very self-conscious of his crooked teeth. As Dr. Young recalls, “this negatively impacted not only my ability to smile, but also my overall health and confidence in day-to-day life.” After seeking orthodontic treatment, he no longer hid his smile, and his overall self-confidence transformed. It was at that moment that Dr. Young knew he wanted a career that would enable him to positively impact others and put patients at ease the way that his orthodontist did. “Dentistry is the perfect job for me because every day I get to experience the privilege and joy of positively transforming a patient’s life by restoring oral health.“

Dr. Young attended the University of Missouri and graduated summa cum laude with a degree in biological sciences. He then attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry where he obtained valuable experience in all aspects of general dentistry and extensive training through the Oral Surgery Honors Program. Dr. Young’s wife, Dr. Jourdan Kilthau, is also a general dentist in the U.S. Army. When not in the office, you can find Dr. Young spending time with his wife, dog (Sarge), friends and family. He enjoys  biking, hiking, fishing, skiing, attending concerts and cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs. On being welcomed into the Spring Valley Dental family Dr. Young says, “having the time to get to know each of my patients on a personal level is of great importance to me, and Spring Valley Dental allows me to do this while also providing quality dental care and education. Spring Valley Dental is the hidden gem of Washington, D.C.”
