Dr. Robert Taylor, DMD I absolutely love orthodontics!!! Theres simply nothing better than helping people smile and feel good about themselves. My personal philosophy is to treat every individual as I would treat my own wife or children. Every patient is extremely important to me, and you will sense that as a patient in our office. Because I really care about each persons treatment, I spend extra time to customize each treatment plan to ensure everyone receives the BEST possible care. I also utilize the latest technology available to provide natural and beautiful smiles. My main goal as an orthodontist is that you will absolutely love your result!
I grew up in West Jordan, Utah, with three siblings: one brother and two sisters. Sports were my love growing up, and I spent my days playing pickup baseball, football and basketball. I made the freshman basketball team, but that was the end of my NBA hoop dreams. Not even Miracle-Gro could overcome my sweet great grandmothers gift of lack of height. Sports are still my love though, especially basketball, golf and fishing.
My father runs a small roofing business (Aluminum Lock Roofing) where I often worked during summers growing up. Working as a roofer in the blistering summer heat taught me the value of honest hard work. And while I enjoyed my time as a roofer, that experience has helped me to really love and appreciate my career as an orthodontist.
I received a bachelors degree in business management from BYU. While at BYU, I also met my wonderful wife Mandy, who is a pediatric nurse. After graduating from BYU, I was honored to attend dental school at Harvard University where I earned my dental degree and was recognized with several high-achievement awards. Following dental school, I completed a one-year general dentistry residency at the University of Utah where I performed advanced techniques in dentistry. I then spent two years specializing in orthodontics at the University of Minnesota.
After severely cold winters in Boston and Minneapolis, we decided to return to a milder climate and closer to home, so we moved back to Utah. We love Utah, its natural beauty and the diverse recreation it offers. We have four beautiful children Evan, Lily, Will and Mia who keep us constantly running!
