Meet Dr. J.C. Jacobs, DMD

Dr. Jacobs was born and raised in Bloemfontein, South Africa, where his love for music and science shaped his path. A passionate cellist, he moved to the U.S. to study chemistry and music at Northwestern University, where he met his wife, Linda. Their shared love for learning and adventure led them to build a life together in Evanston, where they've lived since 2009. In June 2024, Dr. Jacobs joined Designer Smiles, bringing his dedication to compassionate, high-quality dental care. Dr. Jacobs completed his dental degree at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

For Dr. Jacobs, dentistry is about more than just treating teeth, it's about creating a safe and welcoming space where patients feel valued and cared for. He continually expands his expertise through advanced education and is an active member of the American Dental Association, Chicago Dental Society, and Illinois State Dental Society.

Beyond dentistry, family is at the heart of everything he does. Whether cheering on South African rugby teams, attending classical concerts, or exploring new places, he cherishes time with Linda, their son Charlie, and their two beloved dogs, Toby and Molly
