Dr. William Taylor and his identical twin Edward were born in Shreveport, LA on May 7, 1979. Because their heartbeats were in perfect rhythm during the sonogram, no one, including the doctor, expected twins. William and Edward were born into an already blended family which eventually would total 10 kids. To this day, William and his siblings get together once a year, usually in conjunction with a bicycle race since they all enjoy cycling.

William was always athletic. In high school he played lacrosse and tennis.  His passion now is cross-fit training and cycling, but he has always been active. He also was serious about school. William’s family regarded education very highly. In fact all of his siblings pursued higher education.

Dr. William Taylor Bio video

As William puts it, he was never exposed to any other option but to go to college. Since he was a bright young man, this was not a difficult pursuit for him. He knew he wanted to work in medical science but hadn’t decided yet which field. But after many trips to Arizona as a kid, William had his sights set on attending school there. He chose to attend the University of Arizona as a biochemistry major.  Yet he got more than he bargained for! While at U of A he also met the love of his life, Kasey Martin.

Dr. William Taylor

After they graduated college in 2002, William and Kasey went to New Orleans for a year so Kacey could complete her residency as a registered dietitian. While there, William worked as an EMT. He enjoyed that position and it helped him to start fine tuning what type of medical work he might want to do. He realized he did not want to work in a hospital and considered pursuing medical research.

When he and Kasey returned to Tucson, William started a master’s program in drug research. He and Kasey got married in 2002. It was Kasey’s dad, Dr. Jeff Martin DDS, that had a huge impact on William’s decision to pursue dentistry. Being allowed to shadow his father-in-law and other dentists, William saw exactly what medical field was right for him. He went to dental school at USC graduating in 2008. He immediately joined Dr. Martin’s dental office and has been a vital part of the practice ever since.

Currently, William Taylor and his wife Kasey live in Tucson with their three young children. When he’s not doing dentistry, you might find him at the gym doing his cross-fit workout. Or maybe you’ll see him out riding his bike in training for the next cycling event with his siblings, which this year is a 103 mile ride. But often you’ll find him swimming and just enjoying his kids.

Introducing Dr. William Taylor from Martin Taylor Dentistry

I went to USC dental school in Los Angeles, and I have been practicing dentistry for 12 years now.

I got into dentistry because of my father-in-law, who is now my business partner.

I was involved in science. I was doing a master’s in biochemistry and ended up doing dentistry after that.

My father-in-law has been practicing dentistry for 41 years, and I have been practicing for 12 years now.

In terms of expertise, we are a general family practice. We do a lot of cosmetic dentistry, implants, dental surgeries, and sedation cases.

We also do a lot of emergency dentistry like root canals. We do see some kids, and we do oral surgery with wisdom teeth extractions.

Dr. Taylor, Dr. Martin, and their entire staff are the very best. The front desk staff, the dental assistants, and dental hygienists are excellent. I’ve been to many dentists over the years, and they are the most skilled and professional group of people that I have encountered. You can be confident you will be fully informed about what is recommended for a treatment plan and what it will cost. I’ve had the gamut of dental procedures — crowns, implants, root canals, and more routine care. It’s been made as pleasant and comfortable as possible by their skill, as well as their kindness and understanding. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin and Taylor Dentistry.

I have been a patient of Dr. Taylor’s for most of my adult hood. I have had everything done from a filling to multiple dental implants. All of my procedures have been straightforward with zero complications and as little discomfort as possible. Even after my implants I had minimal pain! Before I saw Dr. Taylor I was terrified of dentists, but he put me at ease with his expertise. The hygienists are kind, thorough but gentle, and knowledgeable. The office staff is very friendly and helpful. The office itself is modern and impeccably clean. I highly recommend Martin Tayler dentistry and won’t trust my teeth to any other dentists.
