Our Legacy

Dr. Mike with his wife Judy Jumber

Since 1961, Beaches Dentistry has been part of the Jacksonville community. Dr. Joseph Jumber, affectionately known as “Dr. Joe,” established Beaches Dentistry and focused on quality and personalized care for his patients.

He was known to be the first dentist in Jacksonville to incorporate the comfort of high-speed dental hand pieces. He pioneered the use of overdentures using the roots of few remaining healthy teeth. These overdentures were like modern-day implant-supported dentures. Dr. Joe was an internationally known lecturer who authored a dental textbook on overdentures, An Atlas of Overdentures and Attachments.

In 1976, Dr. Michael Jumber, famously known as “Dr. Mike,” joined his father’s side and together they touched the lives of many in the Beaches community, until Dr. Joe’s passing in 1987. Dr. Mike and his wife Judy continued the family-oriented and personalized dental care with the values that Dr. Joe had instilled in them. As dentistry continued to evolve over the next 42 years, Dr. Mike provided his patients with all the advances in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including dental implants and laser dentistry.

In 2017, Dr. Mike and Judy passed on the torch of Beaches Dentistry to Dr. Nodesh Shyamsunder. They chose Dr. Nodesh because of his advanced training in the specialty of prosthodontics and, most importantly, his compassionate heart for their “Beaches Family.” The Jumber family now entrusts Dr. Nodesh and his family to provide the same quality and personalized care that the Jacksonville community has enjoyed for almost 60 years.

What our patients are saying

Dr. Raina has been an outstanding orthodontist for me! I needed upper and lower braces as an adult and she made the entire process a fantastic experience! The entire office staff is so kind, patient, and personable! Another plus is having my dentist, Dr. Nodesh, in the same office so cleanings and routine dental checkups could overlap on the same day as orthodontic appointments.

I’ve been going here for nearly 35 years, and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. The staff is very professional and friendly.

Will H.

Very friendly and collegial staff. Dr. Nodesh was very kind and explained me my treatment plan in detail. Highly recommended

Shilpa D

Best most thorough and least pain giving dentist I’ve ever experienced. I am 74 years old, blessed with excellent teeth and am particular about them. The office is equipped with the latest medical equipment and accessories. If you are in the market for a new dentist, this is the place.
