Meet Our Clarksville, TN, Oral, Facial, and Cosmetic Surgeons

Welcome!

Our surgeons and staff at Cumberland Surgical Arts and Associates, PLLC in Clarksville, TN, would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our office. As your providers of healthcare, we look forward to serving you. We hope that, together, we can build the kind of relationship that will ensure that you receive quality care and excellent service.

Please read about Dr. Lee, Dr. Lilly, and Dr. Griffith in their profiles to learn more about their extensive training and certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Drs. Lee, Lilly, and Griffith are board-certified in oral and maxillofacial surgery. Becoming a licensed, board-certified surgeon means undergoing the most rigorous training and continuing education offered in the field of medicine. Certification of surgeons is a way of telling patients that doctors with this credential have successfully completed approved training and have passed an evaluation process assessing their ability to provide quality patient care in their specialty. Board certification is a good indication that your doctor is committed to continuing education and is keeping up with the latest findings in his field.

What Is an Oral Surgeon?

The only dental specialists with surgical training in a hospital-based residency program for a minimum of four years are oral and maxillofacial surgeons, according to the American Dental Association. Oral surgeons can have a single degree — a dental license only — or dual degrees in both medical and dental medicine, having licenses for both. They train alongside medical residents in internal medicine, general surgery, and anesthesiology, as well as spend time in otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat), plastic surgery, emergency medicine, trauma surgery, and other specialty areas.

The training of oral and facial surgeons focuses almost completely on the bones, skin, and muscles of the face, mouth, and jaw. Oral and facial surgeons have knowledge and expertise that uniquely qualifies them to diagnose and treat a number of functional and aesthetic conditions in this anatomical area. Oral and facial surgeons and their staff maintain a “culture of safety” in their practice to ensure patients have a safe, comfortable, and successful experience.

Exceptionally high standards of dentistry

"Dr. Griffith and his team were amazing! Our son got his wisdom teeth pulled and they explained everything to us throughly."

"My husband was seen by Dr Lee and there could not have been a better oral surgery experience. As we arrived, Andrea listened carefully to our somewhat unusual dilemma and set everything in action. Each staff member was both professional and kind. This office is a model of excellency that others would do well to emulate."

"Absolutely loved this place. For months I couldn’t find anyone who would take new patients and accept our insurance. They were all very welcoming and accommodating and my husband was able to wait with our kids (for those without babysitters). It was very fast and the recovery was also easy and fast. Definitely recommend for wisdom teeth extractions Dr. Griffith along with nurses Jenny, Destiny and Val were fantastic and very friendly loved my experience!"

"I am rewriting this review and it went from 5 star to 1 star. After receiving a biopsy I was asked to pay for the biopsy up front and I did and after that I submitted the claim to my health insurance and they paid for the biopsy but Cumberland Dental refused to pay me my money back. After 4 calls to their office they stated they would audit my account and I still have not received my no money and the insurance company stated they have never received a bill. Dr Lee done a great job but his staff is terrible. I will not go back here."

"Dr. James Griffith and his team were amazing! I had a lot of anxiety about getting my wisdom teeth extracted, but Dr. Griffith explained everything very well and left me with no concerns. Surgery was done in about 30-40 mins and I had no pain at all afterwards. Little to no swelling either! Healed up quickly and well! Scheduling was also a breeze, they had appointments available after my consult as soon as a couple days later and the lady who does the scheduling/insurance was very kind and helpful."

"Dr. Lee was so kind and very professional he explained everything to us. His nurses are so sweet and professional.. we will not go anywhere else."

"Dr. Lee and all his assistants took great care of me during my procedure. He really helped put my anxiety at ease and helped me get through everything. I would like to especially mention Destiny, she really helped calm my nerves and is a very genuinely kind person."

"Dr. Lee and Auttie were amazing"

"I came to get my wisdom teeth removed and Dr. Lee, Auttie, Court, and Destiny were all an amazing team to get to work with. Everything went so smooth and I was so comfortable with all of them! And Dr. Lee has been the only person to ever get an IV in my arm first try so that was amazing😂 Will definitely recommend them for any dental work and will return for any work I need. Fantastic office!"

"I had such a Great Experience here with everyone that helped me from checking in to the procedure! I had Dr.Griffith and I honestly have never had a more wonderful dentist ever! He was very kind and walked me through everything that was going to happen! I appreciate everyone for making this a Great experience for me being so scared!! I would highly recommend to anyone!"

"Absolutely wonderful experience with my 7 year old son.. He was born with a supernumerary tooth between his two front teeth. Dr. Lee put all of my worries to ease promptly on Monday afternoon and said he may have an opening Wednesday due to my son leaving state on Saturday. His staff worked us in 8 am Wednesday morning. It's a 2 hour drive one way, but it was so totally worth it. He explained everything to my son in a way he could understand it. My son was in and out (under anesthesia) in about 1.5hr start to finish. I was also impressed with Dr. Lee's career history. Being my child, i research heavily on the doctors we chose. Dr. Lee graduated in Chicago, then moved on to be chief resident at Vanderbuilt in Nashville. He even did some amazing things in Texas. I could not recommend a better DDS or MD for any dental matter!! Very professional and accomplished individual. He seems to have great empathy for his patients. Wonderful doctor, thank you so very much to you and your nurses!!!!!! (Ps thanks for the tooth he thinks its the coolest 🤣)"

"Dr.Griffith and his assistant Jessie were absolutely the best in caring for my needs and extractions of the teeth I needed taken out, the level of comfort was top notch and the staff were as friendly and concerned as any I've been involved with over the.years I've needed dental work THANK YOU FOR ALL THE WORK YOUVE DONE FOE ME, JAY C CLARK"

"Amazing location and Courtney and Dr. Lee gave me the best service ever ! Thank you to them and I will definitely be referring friends and relatives in the future"

"The staff was Awesome from the front desk to the surgical team.We had Dr Griffith who removed both of my boys 4 wisdom teeth same day. In and out in less than 3 hrs. Had a little hiccup with the initial scheduled location and time but it all worked out once I followed up. Would definitely recommend"
