Dr. Sarah Albayati Younes was born and raised in San Diego, so caring for families in 4S Ranch and North County is a genuine homecoming. A passion for service and a graduate of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, Dr. Younes combines warm, patient-centered care with a whole-health approach - listening first, explaining clearly, and building each treatment plan together with the person in her chair.
A San Diego Story
Dr. Younes completed her undergraduate studies at San Diego State University, where she earned a scholarship to conduct dental research at NYU College of Dentistry - the experience that sparked her passion for the profession. She went on to the prestigious University of Michigan School of Dentistry, graduating Magna Cum Laude. Now back home in San Diego, she’s proud to care for the community she grew up in.

- American Dental Association (ADA)
- California Dental Association (CDA)

Patient-Centered Care
Dr. Younes earns her patients’ trust by listening to them and understanding what matters most to them.

Beyond the Office
Now residing in San Diego with her husband and daughter, Dr. Younes loves cooking, beach walks, hiking, and spending time with family and friends.
