Dr. Joe Lyman - Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) - General Dentist
Dr. Lyman is an Arizona native who earned his bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. He went on to A.T. Still University’s Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health, earning a Certificate of Public Health with a dental emphasis and his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. He continues to pursue dental education across local and national programs to stay current with new treatments, techniques, and technology. After dental school, he completed an internship in Galveston, Texas, with exposure to oral and maxillofacial surgery before practicing general dentistry in Texas. More than half of his patients there were children, and he especially enjoyed working with them. Before college, he spent two years in Mississippi serving as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Dr. Lyman and his wife, a native of Arizona, eventually returned to Tucson with their four children after an opportunity to join a local dental practice came up. Outside dentistry, he enjoys spending time with his family while hiking, swimming, biking, visiting parks, exploring Tucson, and attending sporting and cultural events. Service is also an important part of his life. He has volunteered through Give Kids a Smile, AZ Mission of Mercy, Day for Special Smiles, and Latin World Ministries, serving both local and international communities. Dr. Lyman brings a genuine love of dentistry and helping people to his work and looks forward to caring for patients and their families.
