Robert G. Hale, DDS
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon
Woodland Hills Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery
Honored as one of Los Angeles magazine’s “Top Dentists 2026,” Dr. Robert G. Hale brings 40 years of experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery across private practice, research, and military service. A UCLA graduate and Emory-trained surgeon, he is renowned for expertise in complex reconstruction, facial trauma, and advanced dental implants.
As a U.S. Army Colonel, Dr. Hale commanded the Dental and Trauma Research Detachment and directed Craniomaxillofacial Research at the Army Institute of Surgical Research, driving advances in regenerative medicine and combat-related reconstructive surgery. His military career (1977–2016) earned him numerous honors, including the Legion of Merit, two Bronze Star Medals, the Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation and Achievement Medals, the Armed Forces Reserve Medal with 30-year hourglass, the Expert Field Medical Badge, and the Order of Military Medical Merit.
After retiring from active duty, Dr. Hale returned to private practice in Woodland Hills, CA, focusing on advanced reconstructive procedures and complex implant cases. In collaboration with KLS Martin, he introduced the first FDA-approved Preprosthetic device, the only patient-specific solution for reconstructing toothless aw ridges. This innovative approach offers patients, including those previously considered poor candidates due to trauma, age, or bone loss a predictable, less invasive path to successful dental restoration.
Known for blending surgical precision, research innovation, and compassionate care, Dr. Hale restores both function and confidence, providing his patients with a new standard of care and improved quality of life.
