Dr. Jackson Hall
Born and raised in middle Tennessee, Dr. Hall has lived in various parts of the country during his service in the United States Navy. He embarked on his educational journey at Middle Tennessee State University, earning a Bachelor’s degree in biochemistry, before completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry.
Dentistry runs in Dr. Hall's veins—his grandfather and father, both dentists, served the Nashville community since the 1920s. As a child, Dr. Hall spent many hours at his father’s dental practice, developing a deep admiration for the enduring relationships his father cultivated with generations of families. The profound joy and renewed confidence on patients’ faces after their appointments left a lasting impression on him.
Having had the privilege of practicing and providing dental care in Brentwood, Dr. Hall cherishes the bond formed with this incredible community. While he and his wife hold a deep affection for Middle Tennessee, they found their calling in the Cookeville community, the origins of Dr. Hall's grandfather and his family.
Dr. Hall is passionate about all aspects of dentistry and dedicates himself to staying informed about the newest proven methods and materials. His diverse education and training include advanced courses in a broad spectrum of dentistry areas, such as:
- Kois Center for Advanced Dentistry and Occlusion
- CEREC same-day restorations and digital dentistry
- Oral conscious sedation and inhalation sedation
- Sleep apnea and dental sleep medicine
- Digital Smile Design and Cosmetic Dentistry
- Dental implant placement and advanced digitally planned surgical guides
- Advanced training in endodontics and root canals
- Atraumatic surgical extractions, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration
- Laser dentistry
- Implant restorations and digital design
Dr. Hall is affiliated with the American Dental Association, the Tennessee Dental Association, and the Nashville Dental Society. Dr. Hall has taken advanced courses on digital smile design, aesthetics in dentistry, and soft tissue management (gum tissue).
At home, Dr. Hall is a devoted husband to his high school sweetheart and a loving father to their two beautiful children who light up their world. He and his wife treasure their time together, enjoying the outdoors, water sports, reading, and family activities. They continuously give thanks for their blessings and opportunities and strive to nurture their relationships with each other, God, and their savior Jesus Christ.
Dr. Hall is humbled and blessed to have the opportunity to be your dentist and looks forward to meeting you!
LeeAnn
Dental Hygienist
LeeAnn brings over three decades of experience in dentistry to Hall Dental Group. She pursued her education and training at the University of Tennessee and East Tennessee State University, which set her on the path toward a fulfilling career in dental hygiene.

She cherishes the relationships she has built with patients over the years and deeply appreciates their kindness. In her view, Hall Dental Group has the best patients ever!
Her favorite uncle, a dentist in Nashville, sparked her passion for the dental field. As a little girl, she always looked forward to the family trips to Nashville for dental checkups and knew by fifth grade that she wanted to be a dental hygienist.
When she’s not providing exceptional patient care, LeeAnn enjoys spending time at the lake and doing Barre workout classes.
Fun fact about LeeAnn: In college, she lived next door to her good friend, country star Kenny Chesney. He even served as her very first dental patient in the clinic, and, despite the three-hour cleaning session, he didn't complain once!

Brownie
Mascot and Therapy Dog
We understand that some patients feel anxiety and stress when visiting the dentist and we want to help improve our patients' comfort in every experience. We are thrilled to share our beloved Brownie with our patients as our loving therapy-dog-in-training. Brownie is a sweet cuddle-bug that our patients love to pet and snuggle with during their visits. When not in the office, he prefers to chew on old house slippers and enjoys a good game of fetch.
I LOVE going to HALL DENTAL GROUP. The staff are cheerful, friendly and make you feel like you are family. Leigh Ann is the best hygienist I have ever been to - her humor and thoughtfulness is unmatched and she is so thorough and makes having one's teeth cleaned a delightful (and painless) experience. I've yet to have dental work done by Dr. Hall; however, when I do, I will go in to the procedure with absolute confidence in his skills...and he's a very nice man.
