Dental health is a crucial part of self-care, and can make a difference in anyone’s self-confidence. From smiling in pictures to public speaking, or even talking with friends - fresh breath and beautiful teeth are often times a focal point of conversation. Fortunately for some, beautiful teeth can be inherited from their parents, and for others, their beautiful smile was achieved with the help of a talented dentist. The next time you find yourself in need of a smile make over, maintenance or preventative care, look no further than the devoted team at Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry.

Owner, Jacqueline Younesi, has aspired to be a dentist since she was six years old. She remembers how enjoyable her visits to the dentist were and she knew that one-day, this is exactly what she wanted to do. Jacqueline knew that not everyone enjoyed the dentist as much as she did, if even at all, especially her grandmother, who became anxious even at the thought of getting a cleaning. She wanted to be the one to change this and make a difference. Watching someone’s demeanor change from rigid to relaxed, is one of the most rewarding aspects of Dr. Younesi’s career. Taking extra time to listen to her patients, treating them the way she does her grandmother, and focusing on the bigger picture of overcoming fears is what sets her practice apart from the rest.

Early Life

Before starting her own private practice, Jacqueline grew up in Newport Beach and attended Lincoln Elementary School then Corona Del Mar High School. She went on to study at USC where she received her bachelor’s degree in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. Then she continued her education as a “Double Trojan” and enrolled again at the USC Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry. Starting in 8th grade, she honed her leadership skills while competing on the rowing team at the NAC until her sophomore year of college at USC.

Who is Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry

Before opening her practice in Corona Del Mar in July 2022, where she provides family, cosmetic, and comprehensive dentistry, Jacqueline Younesi practiced dentistry in Los Angeles. However, she always knew she wanted to return to her roots in the OC to provide dental care to her community. After searching for a location that would evoke a feeling of serenity, Jacqueline finally found an ideal space to accommodate her patients. In addition to the comfortable atmosphere, the office has been equipped with the latest technology in order to provide a comprehensive approach to dental care. Starting with her imaging services, Dr. Younesi has the ability to take traditional x-rays along with 3D CT scans. Her water filtration system ensures cleanliness to prevent the build up of bacteria and biofilm that can cause harm. From the moment you walk into the office you can feel the difference. This is not just another dental office that is concerned with drilling and filling; instead, focusing on prevention and discovering the root cause of an ailment is key. Jacqueline knows how rare it is to develop a trusted relationship and personal connection with dental professionals. Her office strives to create this special bond by offering exceptional care - Dr. Younesi even makes herself available to talk directly with her patients to discover their needs, fears, and concerns. Whether it’s during an appointment or after hours, Jacqueline Younesi Dentistry is dedicated to ensuring patients feel comfortable before, during and after any procedure. Dr. Younesi believes that it is her responsibility to educate patients and equip them with the necessary tools to make informed decisions about their dental care. Recognizing the connection between oral health and systemic health is so important. The practice views each patient's dental care as an integral part of their overall well-being.

Dr. Younesi's passion for teaching and giving back is truly inspirational.

Driven by her desire to help others, she began volunteering at weekend clinics even before she attended dental school.

During her studies, she went above and beyond by traveling to remote locations in other countries to provide dental care.
