Dr. Chris Griffin is a sought-after dental speaker, author, and practice management expert with more than 25 years of private practice experience. He earned his DDS from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in 1998, became a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) in 2003, a distinction held by only a small percentage of practicing dentists, and later completed a Fellowship with the International Dental Implant Association (FIDIA). Drawing on this academic and clinical foundation, he teaches dentists how to implement advanced automation, maximize clinical efficiency, and achieve true practice autonomy. He is the author of multiple books and host of the Practice Autonomy Podcast, and his high-energy, data-driven presentations empower independent clinicians to scale their practices, combat burnout, and elevate patient care.
