I’m Dr. Jacob Baker, one of the dentists here at Riviera Dental Care, and I’m excited to meet you!

I was born and raised in Columbus, Georgia, and attended Auburn University for my undergraduate degree (War Eagle!). I then went on to complete my dental education at UAB. After dental school, I had the opportunity to move to Foley, Alabama, in 2008 to join my close friend and colleague, Dr. McLemore, whom many of you already know and love.

I practiced in Foley from 2008 to 2013 before my family and I moved overseas to serve in Honduras and India for about seven years. Now, we are back in Foley, and I’m thrilled to be working here full-time again.

I come from a family of dentists—my grandfather, great-uncle, and father-in-law all practiced dentistry. Growing up, I always knew I wanted a profession that allowed me to help people, and dentistry was a natural fit. Now, with nearly 20 years of experience, I truly enjoy meeting patients, understanding their needs, and helping them achieve better health and confident smiles.

I look forward to seeing you at Riviera Dental Care and providing you with the best dental care possible!
