Taylor Hayes
@taylorhayes
Oral surgery assistant specializing in IV sedation, sterile technique, and efficient surgical flow.
What I'm looking for
I’m a high-level Oral Surgery Assistant with advanced surgical and sedation experience across oral and cosmetic specialties. I’m known for supporting complex, high-volume procedures while maintaining strict sterile technique, patient safety, and an efficient surgical flow.
In oral and maxillofacial cases, I assist with full mouth implants and All-on-X procedures, including sinus lifts, bone grafting, surgical extractions, and impacted wisdom teeth. I help ensure smooth operations by anticipating surgeon needs, maintaining a compliant sterile field, and supporting continuous IV sedation monitoring.
I’m trusted to maintain patient safety through continuous vital sign tracking, proper imaging/radiology support, and real-time clinical documentation. I document surgical notes and patient vitals and follow OSHA and infection control protocols to keep the team aligned and procedures running on schedule.
Beyond oral surgery, I’ve supported IV sedation monitoring and sterile operating environments in cosmetic surgery, including breast augmentation, liposuction, and Brazilian butt lift procedures. I bring hands-on training from the Dental Assisting Training School (DATS) and certifications including PALS, BLS, Radiology Certification, and Expanded Functions Dental Assistant (EFDA).
