About Young Dental Care - Dentist Aurora
Dr. Bindi Patel built this Prairie Street practice around a question many dental offices skip: how a child breathes. Airway-focused dentistry treats mouth breathing, crowded arches and disrupted sleep as connected problems rather than separate complaints, and it intervenes early, at the stage when a child's jaw is still developing and can still be steered. Dr. Chris Nguyen, DDS, and Dr. Mariam Bawany, DMD, both trained at Midwestern University, with Dr. Bawany completing a general practice residency at St. Francis Medical Center, round out a team that sees children and adults in the same building. Spanish is spoken at the front desk, and the office has stood on this block since 1957.
If early orthodontics is being discussed for your child, it helps to know what it is actually doing. Growth-guidance appliances such as Myobrace work on habits and arch development rather than on straightening individual teeth. The aim is to widen a narrow arch and correct tongue and lip posture during the years when bone still remodels readily. That often reduces how much later treatment is needed, but it does not reliably eliminate it, and many children still go on to a shorter course of braces or aligners as teenagers. Any office promising that early intervention guarantees no braces later is overselling the mechanism. The honest framing is that it lowers the difficulty of what comes next.
Adult care covers a full restorative range: crowns, bridges, root canals, implants, dentures, sealants, veneers, professional whitening and OrthoFX clear aligners. Digital radiographs and an intraoral scanner handle imaging and impressions. Emergencies are worked into the same-day schedule when there is room, which matters most for a knocked-out tooth, a fractured front tooth or a swelling that is spreading rather than settling.
Practically, the location suits families on Aurora's near west side, within easy reach of the neighbourhoods either side of Prairie Street. Monday runs latest into the evening and Saturday mornings are available, but there is no Friday clinic at all, so build that into your planning. Payment runs through insurance, third-party financing and an in-office membership option for patients without coverage; ask which applies to your treatment plan before it is scheduled rather than at the checkout desk.
Dr. Bindi Patel leads a Prairie Street practice that treats mouth breathing, narrow arches and disrupted sleep in children as one connected picture, using growth-guidance appliances during the years jaws still respond. Dr. Chris Nguyen and Dr. Mariam Bawany see families and adults for cleanings, crowns, bridges, root canals, implants, dentures, veneers, whitening and OrthoFX clear aligners. Spanish is spoken, same-day emergency room is held, and the office dates to 1957. Saturday mornings are available; there is no Friday clinic.

Alejandra is Very professional extremely knowledgeable very clean office makes you feel very welcome highly recommend this dentist office does a great job
Had an amazing experience with YDC. The ladies at the front desk got me in for a same day emergency. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted and didn't wait but a few minutes to be seen by the doctor. Sierra was my dental assistant, she was nothing but professional, courteous and respectful. Dr. Bawany quickly diagnosed, pricing for the procedure was transparent and had excellent care from the whole team! I appreciate their fast response!
I am a longtime client of Young Dental Care and highly recommend them!
We left the appointment very happy, and they gave us a lot of the information I needed.
Everyone there is so wonderful and informative if they don't know the answer to your question, they will find out for you ! From person to person they explain everything to you and visually show you, I c highly recommend this become your dental home !! Also they do not try to upsell, only want to help take the best care of you by appropriately letting you know what services and tools you need !!!
My first time here and I have to say that I was quite impressed. From scheduling the appointment to the consult about what I need to have done, everyone in the office has been friendly and professional. What I appreciated most is this is the first time I have been to the dentist where they literally explain everything to me on the X-rays and photos, like point it out and tell me what is going on. They didn’t make me feel bad or ashamed about the issues I had going on with my teeth either. All costs were explained to me up front as well. My hygienist Elva and Dr. Patel were great. So glad my husband referred me here, I will continue with this office from now on.
I started using OrthoFX clear aligners through my dentist at Young Dental Care, and I couldn’t be happier. After consulting with Dr. Bindi Patel, I decided to go with their nighttime aligners, and I am so happy with them. OrthoFX offers both full-time and part-time wearing, and the nighttime choice was perfect for me and allows me to eat and drink throughout the day and not worry about having to take any aligners in and out consistently during waking hours. One of the best things about OrthoFX is that I virtually have no pain. The aligners are comfortable, and I have not felt any pain after wearing them at night. The staff at Young Dental has been supportive, kind and knowledgeable over the last several weeks of my aligner wearing. I highly recommend both OrthoFX nighttime aligners AND the friendly office of Young Dental Care!
Dr. Patel and her team are amazing. They are all very nice, and gentle. I was treated with care and they provided great service. Their equipment is state of the art, their prices are reasonable and it’s easy to get an appointment. I have found my new dental home.
Young Dental has changed my views on going to the dentist! Everyone is so thoughtful and caring! I felt comfortable from my first time calling, speaking to Nina. She makes sure I’m feeling comfortable every time I come in. I just started coming here less than 2 weeks ago and don’t see myself going anywhere else! I met with Dr. Zaun , Sierra and Amber for my first appointment. They were all wonderful and made sure I was comfortable. Nina and Michelle were very helpful with helping me understand and setting up a payment plan. Met with Dr Nguyen for an easy going tooth extraction. I was very nervous going in and I had a great experience. I saw Dr Patel today and she’s great. She’s very nice and my appointment went smoothly. Highly recommend Young Dental Care!
My experience and my family experience at Youg Dental Care has been wonderful. The front desk ladies are very friendly and helpful. Dr.Bindi a kind and knowledgeable person. She is very loving and patient with kids. Two of my daughters are using a Myobrace (a pre-orthodontic treatment system) that corrects mouth breathing, tongue thrusting, improper swallowing, etc. Dr. Bindi monitor their progress directly and works with the parents to ensure their effectiveness. Alejandra Garcia, a dental hygienist at Young Dental has always provided quality services, she is very experienced and her job is done with excellence. I highly recommend this dental office.
