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.

"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!"

"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!"

"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."
