Meet The Calm & Gentle Dentistry Team

Hi, I’m Carl Taylor, the owner of Taylored Dental Care.

I am married to Alicia. We met several years ago at dental school, well she was at medical school. We got married a couple of years ago and we had our first daughter in November 2014.

I really like snowboarding, kite surfing and windsurfing. In fact I enjoy anything that involves any sort of water based activity.

I’m originally from Anglesey in North Wales, but moved to my adopted home of Leeds in 1997 to study dentistry, and haven’t looked back since. I graduated from Leeds Dental School with Honours in 2002, and gained the MFGDP(UK) Diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2006.

I moved to Taylored Dental Care in April 2016, but have known Carl since we met in Dental School all those years ago ! I previously worked at a practice in Wakefield for the last 13 years.

I strive to provide a friendly and relaxed atmosphere with my patients, whilst working with the team to offer high quality dental care.

I’m married to Emma, and have two young children, Matthew and Caitlin. I’m a keen supporter of Liverpool FC, and also really enjoy watching Formula One motor racing, and cycling. At home, we maintain a strong Welsh – Irish rivalry when the rugby is on, and enjoy family time.
