Dr Zac Berry

Dr. Zac Berry is a passionate and exceptionally talented dentist who says the most important part of his job is the connections he has with his patients. Only by understanding someone on a personal level can you provide someone the exact dental care that they need. Dr. Berry always thought growing up that he wanted to be in medicine, but on his first day shadowing a dentist, he knew he had found his true passion. “I knew right away as he extracted several teeth that this was my path – it was incredible – it opened my mind to how much dentistry could do!” Dr Berry soon realized that dentistry was a profession that would allow him to fully dive into his passion, connecting with patients and giving them the confidence they need through a smile. He had the added benefit of spending quality time with his family and the community he loves– it was a perfect fit! Dr. Berry received his B.S. degree in Biology from Rhodes College in Memphis, TN where he was also a four year starter on their soccer team. He went on to receive his DDS (Doctorate of Dental Surgery) from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry. Following dental school, Dr. Berry went on to further his dental education at the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Dentistry for a General Practice Residency Program. Here he gained further experience in advanced oral surgery, implants, sedation dentistry, cosmetics, and caring for patients with complex medical histories. Four years after completing his residency in Birmingham, Dr. Berry and his family moved back home to Mt. Juliet where he purchased Mt. Juliet Family Dentistry, which is now Berry Dental Group.
