about us

Our organization is committed to being at the forefront of the dentistry field. By utilizing advanced software and modern manufacturing techniques, we have created a contemporary dental laboratory experience that prioritizes efficiency while ensuring personalized care, a unique feature that is becoming increasingly scarce in our digital era.

Founded in 1993 by Andrew Jakson, Evolution Dental Science (EDS) emerged from a passion for dental innovation. This enthusiasm was not only infectious but also passed down to his sons, ensuring that the legacy of innovation continued. By 2010,  Andrew’s sons began delving into the world of Exocad, a software that would revolutionize the dental industry. A decade later, Exocad stands as the paramount software for dental technicians, and the Jakson lineage is recognized as some of the most esteemed CAD/CAM educators in the dental realm.

The EDS mission is clear: to be the top choice for enhancing patient outcomes. With over 30 years of rich experience in dental technology innovation, marketing, and management, the company has carved a niche for itself under the leadership of the Jakson family.
