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

"Unfortunately I had to have the rest of my teeth removed, which was 10 of them.. Dr. Griffith gave me an in depth breakdown of the entire process, was both very friendly and professional throughout the entire thing. I was very nervous initially about it, but him and his team did a wonderful job of setting my mind at ease. It's been 7 days since the procedure, and they did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend this place for any of your dental needs. The whole staff from the front desk, back is amazing! I couldn't have asked for a better experience with something this stressful to be honest. Thank you to Cumberland surgical associates, Dr. Griffith, and his amazing assistants!"

"Straight to the point, and punctual! The doctor and dental staff were great! Daughter is recovering as predicted, with minor discomfort. Doctor Lee was detailed with the procedure and answered all my questions. Recommend for anyone needing dental surgery."

"The team was great with helping be calm during my procedure. Explained everything as the began. Thank you Dr Lee, Jena, court, and Jenny."

"Val, AP and Jessie were amazing with my son today. He had to get 5 teeth taken out. They were so sweet and patient. I highly recommend this place"

"Great visit today for my Invisalign. Ali was awesome once again very informative, patient and polite. #GreatCrew"

"Excellent Oral Surgery for Dental Implants with Dr. Grifith"

"I had an emergency appointment for a molar extraction and was very nervous as this was my first time under general anesthesia. Dr. Griffith and his team were EXCEPTIONAL with patient care, answering all of my questions, and putting my mind at ease. His team were great with communication and I always understood what was going to happen next. Dentists are scary, choose one that will communicate! Thank you Dr. G, Court, Val, and Kelsi 🩷"

"I’ve avoided getting my wisdom teeth removed for 10 years because of fear and only did so because one finally broke. Contrary to my expectation, this was the smoothest procedure I’ve ever had done. I was completely asleep, in and out in 45 minutes and no pain or swelling in the 4 days since surgery. It’s pure sorcery that someone can cut 4 teeth out of your face and you can’t tell anything happened. I’m so incredibly grateful for Dr. Lilly and his team. You all took wonderful care of me through multiple consults and avoiding something I was just afraid of. Thank you so much!"

"Got my wisdom teeth out yesterday and I’m doing great! Dr.Griffith, Val, Kelsi, Jessie & AP were all so amazing and friendly. Super quick process and they made me feel so comfortable. I would definitely recommend them!"

"Simply the best! As soon as Dr. Lee walks in the room, the tone of his voice takes the anxiety away. So grateful for this team and making an anxious heart feel at ease."

"Fantastic experience, they were able to squeeze me in on the same day I called to remove the problem tooth. Dr.Lee and Autumn did a great job. Definitely coming back to any more work done."

"I just had all four of my wisdom teeth removed today, as well as an extra tooth that was damaged by the wisdom tooth behind it (this was previously discussed and recommended by my referring dentist as well, he obviously had my consent to do so). Despite losing five teeth and being a bit sore, I can solidly say the entire team was amazing. Long review ahead, since I think people deserve to know how each step sort of went during everything. Dr. Griffith informed me that my surgery posed a lot of risks, because my mouth and teeth were shaped in such a way that he could've accidentally injured my sinuses, or damaged the main nerve on my lower jaw. I never doubted him for a moment, since he seemed so confident and professional, but also very sweet. He handled my nervousness well, and kept the conversations lighthearted while giving me exact numbers for chances of success on each, and an idea of how long it would take for my specific body could take to recover from anesthesia, because of the nerves being so close. He kept it all safe and comfortable the entire time, joked around with me, and had an amazing bedside (tableside?) manner. We also discussed medications that were safe for me, since I have a lot of allergies, and he provided them with no fuss, even giving me optional pain meds on top of the ibuprofen in case I were in any severe discomfort during my recovery. It's kind of rare of me to find a doctor who genuinely did make me feel safe and cared for the entire time, and I'm happy that such a risky procedure was done by someone who showed so much care for my health. When I woke up, he informed me it was successful, with no other injury, and he and his team had already begun checking if I were okay and talking to me. I was even allowed to ask to keep the teeth to look at, and it was pretty cool. I'm horrible with names, but I was also helped by "Val, Des, and Court" as indicated by sheets I was given! Thank you all for taking such amazing care of me today, and I'm very much looking forward to my recovery. From start to finish, it was wonderful, and I'm seriously impressed that he extracted 5 teeth in about an hour. Very talented surgeon and sweet, educated staff overall. Sincerely, I highly recommend. Footnote: I am definitely sore this first day, but the medications given are making it a lot easier to handle. Whenever I finished, they gave me a goodie bag with care instructions, a custom branded ice compress for my face, a bit of applesauce to eat when I felt fine, and extra gauze and things to help me keep everything clean. I just picked up my medications at my pharmacy back home and I've been just fine!"

"I absolutely love Cumberland Surgical front desk is amazing Selena and Dee Dee are always so helpful. Dr Lee and Auttie are amazing. Dr Lee is very transparent he explains everything in detail he takes his time making sure you're comfortable and knowledgeable about your procedure. I'm a had patient to treat due to medical conditions but Dr Lee goes above and beyond to take care of my dental needs. I have anxiety at the dentist but with Dr. Lee and Auttie I'm so relaxed. I'm so glad I was referred here."
