Harvard School of Dental Medicine and UCLA School of Medicine graduate Dr. Jacob T. Taylor, DMD, MD joined the Center for Oral & Facial Surgery in 2024 as the practice's newest oral and maxillofacial surgeon at 306 Walnut Ave in Hillcrest. Restorative referrals for post-extraction prosthetic planning are coordinated with offices such as Center for Dental Restorations in the surrounding Hillcrest dental corridor. Taylor earned his undergraduate degree in Basic Medical Science with a music minor from Washington State University before pursuing the dual DMD/MD pathway through Harvard and UCLA. Implant placements requiring soft-tissue grafting and ridge augmentation are sequenced with periodontists like Mission Hills Periodontics - Dr. Stephen Munroe when pre-surgical bone volume is inadequate for primary implant stability. The practice line includes wisdom-tooth removal under IV sedation, full-arch All-on-4 implant rehabilitations, corrective jaw surgery for skeletal Class II and Class III malocclusion, and oral pathology biopsies.
