MEET DR. CHRIS GRIFFIN

Dr. Griffin has been a private practicing solo dentist since 1999 and has lived 3 distinct practice lives.
Practice life #1 - (1999-2008) Completely FFS Cosmetic practice.  Ended when the 400 year flood shut down the practice in 2008
Practice Life #2 -(2008-2013) - Member of 20+ PPOs.  Gained a name as a highly productive and efficient general dentist with 14 operatories.  Ended when fire destroyed practice in 2013.
Practice Life #3 - Hybrid practice with only a few PPOs, much larger cases, and high technology.  3D Printing is a huge part of my current practice model, along with all the things that facilitates, like ortho, implants, and makeover cases.

CHARITY

After taking a medical mission trip to Guaymas, Mexico, in the early 2000s, Dr. Griffin has been instrumental in the startups of local dental missions, like Dentistry with a Heart in Dickson, TN, and Memphis, TN.
Dr. Griffin has also been active in MidSouth Mission of Mercy since 2021 where he has brought his know-how of digital dentistry and 3D printing to provide dentures to patients who would have otherwise left that event without their teeth after being treated with extractions.
In 2023, Dr. Griffin provided 33 partials to patients and in 2024, he provided 25 partials and 2 immediate dentures.
For his efforts, Dr. Griffin was named the Mississippi Dental Association Humanitarian of the year in 2010.

TEACHING

Dr. Griffin has a passion for teaching, whether it's helping dentists and their teams at one of his workshops at his office, lecturing as dental meetings, or just training his own dental staff to incorporate new technology into their practice, he loves to share.  Not only does Dr. Griffin love to teach, he loves to learn and has amassed over 1000 CE hours over the course of his career and earned multiple designations and fellowships over that time.

WHEN NOT PRACTICING...

When not in the office or out lecturing, you will find Dr. Griffin either on the golf links, where he always hopes to recapture some of his perceived former glory, on his farm, or trying to keep up with his 3 kids and wife of 30+ years.
