Dr. Jessica Hagan

Dr. Jessica Hagan is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area and has lived across the United States over the past 20 years, including in Phoenix, Arizona; Coastal North Carolina; and Memphis, Tennessee. She earned her undergraduate degree in Biology with an emphasis in Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior and a minor in Art Studio from the University of California, Davis. Dr. Hagan then went on to attend Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona, for dental school, where she received her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD).

Afterward, she completed an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at St. Vincent de Paul in Phoenix, Arizona, through New York University. Dr. Hagan practiced general dentistry for several years in Coastal North Carolina, where she realized her passion for periodontal surgery. This experience led her to specialize in Periodontics. She earned her Certificate in Periodontics and Master of Dental Science from the University of Tennessee.

It is hard for Dr. Hagan to choose any favorite procedure as she loves all surgery, however she is particularly passionate about aesthetic crown lengthening, regenerative procedures, dental implants, bone grafting, and soft tissue procedures. When she is not caring for patients, Dr. Hagan enjoys spending time with her husband and four children and exploring the beauty of Middle Tennessee.
