We are proud to announce a significant addition to our specialist team at the Florida Dental Implant Institute: Dr. Matthew Rand, MD, DMD. With his arrival, we become one of the only dental implant centers in the nation—and the only one in the Naples area—with two dual-degree, MD-trained oral and maxillofacial surgeons on staff. Our MD oral surgeons complement an already robust team that includes general dentists, a periodontist, and other highly trained specialists—ensuring every patient receives the highest level of comprehensive, coordinated care
This is a rare distinction. The path to becoming a dual-degree oral surgeon requires not only completing dental school, but also graduating from medical school and completing rigorous hospital-based training in general surgery, anesthesia, and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Very few specialists nationwide hold both degrees—and we now have two under one roof: Dr. Nathan Eberle and Dr. Matthew Rand.
Most dental implant centers are led by general dentists or single-degree oral surgeons. Our patients receive care from board-certified specialists with medical degrees and deep hospital-based surgical experience. This allows us to confidently manage the most complex implant cases, including:
By adding Dr. Rand, we are enhancing not just our surgical capacity—but also our commitment to exceptional patient care.
Dr. Rand is an overachiever among oral surgeons. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from both the University of Miami and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, later earning his MD from the University of Michigan Medical School, one of the top medical institutions in the country. He completed advanced training in general surgery, adult and pediatric anesthesia, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, and further specialized through microvascular surgical training.
Known for his warm, compassionate approach, Dr. Rand takes time to understand each patient's goals and customizes their treatment for long-term success.
At the Florida Dental Implant Institute, we don’t just place implants—we solve complex problems with a medical, surgical, and restorative perspective. Adding a second MD oral surgeon to our team furthers our mission to provide the safest, most advanced, and most comfortable dental implant solutions in the country.
We are honored to welcome Dr. Rand to our team and invite you to experience the difference that true surgical excellence makes.
