Dr. Steven Taylor, DDS, MS

Dr. Taylor earned his Bachelor of Science from the University of Missouri in 1994 and his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri–Kansas City in 1999. Two years later, he completed a Master of Science in orthodontics from Saint Louis University.

He's a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Columbia Dental Society, the Central Dental Society, and the Gus Sotiropoulos Study Club. He's also an Invisalign®-certified preferred provider and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, one of the higher marks of achievement in the specialty.

Dr. Taylor believes a healthy, attractive smile has the power to dramatically improve confidence and quality of life, and he brings that belief to every appointment, along with a good sense of humor. He and our team genuinely enjoy getting to know the families we treat, visit after visit.

At home, Dr. Taylor and his wife Corie keep busy with their three daughters, Claire, Madison, and Emma. When he's not in the office, you'll usually find him golfing, running, reading, or cheering on the Missouri Tigers.
