Dr. Russell Kirk

over 20 Years of trusted oral surgery

During high school and college, Dr. Kirk worked in a hospital and the experiences he had throughout these formative years piqued his interest in a career in healthcare. He recognized early that a healthy, strong smile has a profound effect on a person’s confidence and quality of life, so he decided that he wanted to become an oral surgeon. A native of Tennessee, Dr. Kirk stayed in his home state and earned his degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors in 1994.

During his last year in dental school, Dr. Kirk was selected by the United States Navy to participate in a post-graduate residency in general dentistry. After completing his Navy residency, Dr. Kirk served as a Dental Officer and Department Head for Naval Mobile Construction Battalion Four Zero (NMCB 40). Upon leaving active duty, Dr. Kirk was selected as one of two dentists for advanced training in anesthesia at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He then went on to the University of Tennessee Health Science Center Memphis for his Oral Maxillofacial Surgery Residency, and received his certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in June of 2002. He has been practicing in Lebanon, Tennessee for nearly 20 years.

While many patients come to Dr. Kirk after experiencing oral trauma, injuries, and other dental damage, his compassionate approach and extensive experience makes the entire process as comfortable as possible. If you are looking for an experienced oral surgeon in Lebanon, Dr. Kirk would love to meet you.
