Founder & Doctor
Dr. Matthew J. Jackson, DDS
Founder and owner of Jackson Dentistry. General dentist with a focus on dental implants and oral surgery. Resident of the Eustis area.
Dr. Matthew Jackson founded Jackson Dentistry in 2010 and has been practicing in Eustis ever since. His care focuses on dental implants and oral surgery: extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafting and PRF, and full-arch implant cases at every stage. All of it is anchored by careful three-dimensional digital planning and the technology that makes modern implant care genuinely better.
Background
Education and training
Dr. Jackson grew up in Erie, Pennsylvania. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology at John Carroll University in Cleveland before going on to dental school at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, one of the country's leading dental programs.
After dental school, he completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program at Nova Southeastern University. That is an additional year of intensive postgraduate training focused on the kind of complex restorative and surgical care most dentists do not see until much later in their careers, if at all.
He has been in private practice since 2006 and founded Jackson Dentistry in Eustis in 2010.
Clinical focus
What he does
Dr. Jackson's care centers on:
- Dental implant treatment for single, multi-tooth, and full-arch (All-on-X) cases
- Oral surgery, including extractions, wisdom teeth, bone grafting, and PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) using a horizontal centrifuge
- All-on-X care at every stage, including extractions, bone recontouring, bone grafting with PRF, implant placement, and the final prosthesis
- Three-dimensional digital implant planning, with every implant planned personally by Dr. Jackson and never outsourced
- Robotic-guided implant placement using the Yomi system, for every implant, from a single tooth to a full arch
- Cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including veneers, crowns, and smile redesigns
- Coordination with our in-house digital lab using Exocad software for design of provisional prostheses, next-day temporary crowns, and other lab items
He maintains active continuing education throughout his career, particularly in dental implant treatment, where the technology and best practices continue to evolve.
The foundation of every case
Three-dimensional implant planning
In modern dentistry, the most important skill is diagnosis, followed by careful and thoughtful planning. For dental implants in particular, careful three-dimensional planning is one of the most important contributors to long-term success.
Dr. Jackson plans every implant personally in advanced three-dimensional planning software. The planning is never outsourced. He genuinely enjoys this part of the process, and his standard of care for himself as a dentist who places implants is to plan every dental implant in three dimensions before treatment.
The plan is only the beginning. Every implant Dr. Jackson places is then delivered with the Yomi robotic system, the first and only FDA-cleared robotic device for dental implant surgery. Yomi guides the entire procedure, every drill pass of the osteotomy that creates the implant site and the seating of the implant itself, physically constraining position, depth, and orientation to carry the digital plan into surgery with sub-millimeter precision. From a single tooth to a full All-on-X arch, every implant at Jackson Dentistry is placed this way: planned in three dimensions, prepared and placed with robotic guidance.
Dr. Jackson's path to the robot ran through the previous generation of guided surgery. Before adopting robotic guidance for every implant, he personally designed and 3D-printed more than 400 custom surgical guides for his own implant cases in our in-house lab. Mastering that workflow is precisely why he moved beyond it. Robotic guidance carries the same fidelity to the digital plan, and it adds real-time patient tracking that a static guide cannot provide. He has placed nearly 1,000 dental implants across his career, close to 200 of them with robotic guidance since adopting Yomi, and the count grows with every implant we place.
Guided placement produces meaningfully better accuracy and predictability than freehand surgery. At our practice, it is not reserved for select procedures. It is how every implant is placed.
"Begin with the end in mind."
The principle Covey made famous underlies every implant case Dr. Jackson plans. He pictures the finished smile first, including how the restored tooth will function years from now. He then plans the implant position to support it and carries out the plan. The dentist who plans the case is the one who places the implant and oversees the final restoration.
The investment in technology
Why this practice looks the way it does
Dr. Jackson believes the right technology, used well, produces meaningfully better outcomes for patients. That is why Jackson Dentistry has invested in:
- A Yomi robotic implant system (advanced robotic guidance for dental implant surgery), integrated into our implant workflow because of how meaningfully it raises the standard of care
- CBCT 3D imaging for every implant case
- Two iTero digital scanners that move between operatories as needed
- The Instarisa 3D facial scanner for facially-driven planning of full-arch and esthetic cases
- An in-house digital lab with Exocad design software and dental 3D printers
That equipment is here to give our patients the level of care that careful planning and modern technology make possible.
Beyond the practice
When he is not at the practice
Dr. Jackson lives in the Eustis area. He has been a part of the Lake County community since opening the practice in 2010 and considers it home.
An implant or oral surgery consultation, and how it begins
Dr. Jackson sees implant consultations weekly. He handles each case personally, including the initial 3D scan and the final restoration. The first conversation is unhurried and honest, with no pressure.
