Meet Dr. Dana Jackson
Dr. Dana Jackson is a passionate and patient-focused dentist who finds fulfillment in helping people improve their health, confidence, and quality of life. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biomedical Sciences from Southeast Missouri State University before completing her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) at the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Jackson chose dentistry because she was drawn to a career centered on helping others while offering something new and different every day. She values dentistry as a profession that encourages continual learning and growth, allowing her to evolve alongside advancements in patient care.
What Dr. Jackson loves most about practicing dentistry is the many ways she can make a positive impact—from enhancing esthetics and improving function to relieving pain and replacing missing teeth. She especially enjoys building meaningful relationships with her patients and believes dentistry is truly one of the most rewarding professions.
As she begins practicing in her new community, Dr. Jackson looks forward to forming long-term relationships with her patients and serving the community to the best of her ability.
Outside of the office, Dr. Jackson enjoys spending time with her family and being outdoors. She and her husband, Andrew, spent 10 years moving around the country during his military service before settling in the Springfield area. Together, they have four children—Joseph, Eli, Gabe, and Madison. In her free time, Dr. Jackson enjoys reading, outdoor activities, and spending weekends at her grandpa’s cabin along the Meramec River.
