Jacob T. Taylor, DMD, MD, has joined the Center for Oral & Facial Surgery, the oldest and largest oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) practice in San Diego County. The practice was established in 1927 and currently has two offices. One in San Diego and one in El Cajon. Dr. Taylor will be accepting new patients at both locations, effective immediately.

"We feel that our mission and the driving force behind everything we do is to serve our patients and our dental community with integrity and to deliver exceptional patient care with comfort and compassion. Dr. Taylor is a like-minded surgeon, who is extremely skilled, highly trained and completely dedicated to the highest levels of patient care," said Drs. James R. Eckstein, Brian K. Oleksy and Derek J. Havas of the Center for Oral & Facial Surgery.

Dr. Taylor earned his bachelor’s degree in basic medical science with a minor in music from Washington State University and his DMD from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where he received numerous awards for clinical excellence. Dr. Taylor continued his education with an OMS residency at UCLA.

During his residency, he received extensive training in a wide variety of oral and maxillofacial procedures, particularly wisdom teeth extractions, dental implants, complex bone grafting procedures, benign pathology treatments and orthognathic surgery. Throughout his residency, Dr. Taylor completed numerous rotations within different medical and surgical specialties that have aided him in his ability to treat medically complex patients.

Dr. Taylor earned his MD from the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, where he also completed a one-year internship in general surgery. Dr. Taylor received additional training in general anesthesia for a wide variety of surgical procedures at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
