We present draft metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of Desulfobulbus oralis strains reconstructed from ancient Pacific Islander dental calculus. MAGs were reconstructed via reference-guided read recruitment, de novo assembly, and metagenomic binning, displaying average nucleotide identities ≥96.4% to the D. oralis ATCC HOT041 reference genome, with completeness ≥50% and contamination ≤2.38%.
