Generations of Care

Family Dental Associates has proudly served Middle Georgia for generations. The Warner Robins office was founded in 1954 by Dr. Alex Bell. His son, Dr. Alex Bell Jr, later acquired the practice and continued its commitment to exceptional patient care. The practice was later led by Dr. Jack Bell III, making him a third-generation dentist carrying on the Bell family legacy. The Perry office was founded by Dr. Thomas Pierce and was later acquired by his son, Dr. Joseph Pierce, making him a second-generation dentist dedicated to serving the Perry community. In January 2022, Dr. Jack Bell and Dr. Joseph Pierce became partners, bringing together two family legacies with a shared vision of providing exceptional dental care throughout Middle Georgia. In August 2022, the Perry office suffered a devastating fire. While rebuilding plans were underway, our team remained committed to ensuring patients continued to receive the care they needed. In July 2023, Family Dental Associates opened the Kathleen office to better serve patients during the rebuilding process. The location quickly became a success, providing convenient access to dental care for families throughout the area. After nearly three years of rebuilding, the new Perry office reopened in June 2025. Because of the positive response from patients and the surrounding community, the Kathleen office remains open on a part-time basis today, with the potential for expanded hours in the future. In 2026, Dr. Ashton Leavengood and Dr. Trenten Williams became partners in Family Dental Associates, helping lead the practice into its next chapter of growth and service. Today, Family Dental Associates is proud to be led by partners Dr. Jack Bell, Dr. Joseph Pierce, Dr. Ashton Leavengood, and Dr. Trenten Williams, alongside associate dentists Dr. Christa Tran, Dr. Tony Tran, and Dr. Diana Winecoff. More than 70 years after opening our doors, we remain committed to the same mission: providing exceptional dental care, building lasting relationships, and serving generations of families throughout Middle Georgia.
