Meet the Dentist in Alcoa, TN

Dr. Karina Lyon is a highly experienced dentist with over 25 years of clinical practice, known for her gentle approach, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence. After owning and successfully operating a dental practice in Illinois for many years, Dr. Lyon relocated to Tennessee to create a boutique, spa-inspired dental practice focused on elevated, personalized care.

Dr. Lyon believes that every patient should be treated like family. She takes time to listen, educate, and involve each patient in their treatment planning, ensuring decisions are made collaboratively, transparently, and without pressure.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Lyon is an animal lover and shares her life with dogs and cats. This compassion naturally extends into her practice, where empathy, patience, and kindness define the patient experience — especially for those who feel anxious about dental visits.

By combining advanced technology with a calm, refined environment, Dr. Lyon has created a practice where patients feel heard, comfortable, and confident in their care.
