William Jackson

Dr. Jackson is currently the co-founder and COO of Virtual Dental Care, Inc., a telehealth technology company founded in 2016.

Bill practiced clinical dentistry for 10 years, while creating a small Knox-Keene licensed managed dental plan in Los Angeles, which was acquired by Prudential Healthcare in 1985. He became President of the Dental Division in 1990. In 1994, shortly after Blue Cross of California went public as Wellpoint Healthcare Networks, he was hired by Wellpoint to run their national dental division.

In 1998, Bill left Wellpoint to start Dental Connect, the industry’s first real-time dental claims clearinghouse. The company later merged with DentalXChange, which grew to the largest real time clearinghouse in the industry.

Upon the sale of DentalXChange in 2004, Bill helped start Planet DDS, Inc., the company that created the cloud-based dental practice management software, Denticon, which was focused on the needs of DSOs. Bill exited Planet DDS after its sale in 2016.
