Dr Anne Lyon has assembled a strong team at her Austin Tooth Fairy practice. They deliver excellent customer service, are kind, and were able to navigate the terms of my dental insurance to get me a not-so-painful price on my latest round of tooth repair. When I say "team", that includes everyone on the front desk, every dental technician, the people who dive into the small print of insurance plans and Care Credit applications, and the dental partners along with Dr Lyon. I've been seeing dentists for a long time, and the experience hasn't always been pleasant. My dentist, Dr Shvets, goes above and beyond to make the experience as pleasant as a day on the beach. He is warm and gentle, even when he told me I needed two crowns. I opted for Invisalign, which is correcting a jaw/bite issue and straightening some teeth. Dr Shvets has the ability to make the crowns I needed, and put them in the same visit: no temporaries!! This is refreshing. And they have Spotify and can give patients headphones, and their music channel of choice (I asked for the Ramones channel, and also opted for nitrous). All the techs are very knowledgeable and helped explain the Invisalign (it's still very early on in the process) to me very well. Dr Shvets himself left me a message after I got the two crowns in to say it was all right to contact him with any questions. I had no swelling or any issues the day after; and I barely take ibuprofen with the Invisalign. If you need a great dentist in South Austin, call the Austin Tooth Fairy. read more

Dr. Anne Lyon is a wonderful, skilled and knowledgeable dentist. I could not recommend both Dr. Lyon and Dr. Yaron Schvets enough. They are both excellent dentists, and each make time for their patients and explain things so you really get it. Craft of Dentistry is an excellent dental practice. They even offer a dental plan to help with those who are not insured. read more

Echoing a lot of what others have said: - Not good at crowns, despite all their fancy tech. I'm writing this review because my current dentist noticed that less than 3 years after getting a crown with Dr. Lyon, they didn't set it correctly and now it's got an exposed edge that will collect plaque and decay. The cost to fix this will be $600 WITH good dental insurance. That's after paying $1,000 out of pocket to Dr. Lyon for the initial procedure. - Constantly upselling. Instead of being told, "try buying a $5 mouthguard for your teeth grinding and then come visit again in a month" they upsold me on a $400 guard. The price of which was never shown to me in writing, but instead was presented verbally as "it will be three ninety-nine" (phrasing that is used for something that is $3.99, not three hundred ninety-nine). That's a scam I usually only see taxi drivers pull. The one nice thing I can say is Dr. Lyon gave me an antibiotic prescription for travel in Central America for "just in case" purposes. That showed some level of thoughtfulness - I just wish I had had the same experience in all their services. read more

I have been going to Dr Anne Lyon for at least a year now and have great things to say about my experience with her. The staff is always so friendly and nice. They always make you feel welcome the moment you walk into the door. I have never waited longer then 5 minutes in the waiting room. I used to live in Leander and even drove all the way down south to come here. I'm super picky and don't trust a dentist unless I build a relationship with them and the team. Super happy with my experiences here and have always referred her to my family/friends to go here. The best dentist for sure in Austin! read more

I LOVE going to see the team at Dr Anne Lyon's office. Every member of the staff are a delight to work with. From the friendly reception to caring, knowledgeable dental professionals who manage to make going to the dentist a comfortable experience. They not only provide a thorough examination of your teeth but checks of your mouth and lymph nodes for signs of illness. They answer any questions or concerns I may have. I needed to replace a broken crown and got to watch as they created the crown in a machine in the lobby. In just a few hours in one day they removed the damaged crown prepared the area and installed my new crown which still looks and feels great after 4 years! I drive across town twice a year for checkups just to see this friendly and highly skilled team as the great care is worth the drive. Definitely recommend! read more

I have always been deathly afraid of the dentist, so I waited until my mouth was a mess and I had no choice. It took over two years of searching to find Dr. Shvets and his wonderful team. I feel so incredibly blessed, that I found such a caring dentist and staff. I am no longer afraid of going to the dentist. In fact, I look forward to seeing everyone from Dr. Lyons, to Dr. Shvets to their amazing staff. After several months of and many many visits, my smile is almost completely restored. If you are on the fence, don't be! Call their office and you will not be disappointed. read more

I started going to Anne Lyon, DDS in January of 2016. I needed a new dentist that was close in proximity to where I live and work. In my area, there are several dental practices so I did my research and decided to give her practice a try. I could tell by the look and feel of her website that she has more of a modern approach compared to her fellow dental practitioners in the area. For my first initial visit, everything went better than expected. The staff is very friendly and Anne Lyon gave me a brief tour of her facility. My dental hygienist was friendly and still greets me on my recent visits to their office. The website was not the only thing that was modern. I like their booking system that sends text messages and emails as appointment reminders. Their equipment also seems pretty modern and everything seems to go a bit faster because of it. Over a year and a half later, I have remained a fan of her dental practice and continue to go to her for all my dental needs. I highly recommend her. read more

I have looked for years for a dentist I could trust and could help with my fear! Boy, did I choose the right office. Dr. Shvets is absolutely amazing! How many dentist call their patients and check on them after procedures. He does! The staff is absolutely incredible! They make you feel like family! If you are on the fence, I hope this review helps. It took me over 15 years to step back into a dental office. read more

Dr. Anne Lyons is actually a really great dentist; however her staff is a little overbearing. There was a younger nurse who was quick to tell me I was a slut with oral cancer because I have a sex life. She was giving me a huge guilt trip telling me that if I didn't spend $80 and swish some fluid in my mouth for a minute my tongue would be cut out because I drink occasional smoke and have sex. I have to say I left there terrified and feeling dirty. That same tech also called over another dentist who was with a patient to examine my mouth, needless to say the other dentist was short with me because she was already busy, not her fault. Bottom line Dr. Anne Lyons is kickass, but some of the staff is a lot nuts. I haven't gone back and probably won't I'm looking for a new dentist. read more

Dr. Lyon is a wonderful and smart person and has a great staff. However, she does not do well with crowns. She put on a new crown for me without first removing some temporary root canal packing, which led to all kinds of problems and misery for me. And I didn't get so much as "I'm sorry" or even "oops". And I now also need to have two poorly-fitted crowns replaced (at great expense). So if you aren't looking for crowns, Dr. Lyon is really good. read more

The staff is friendly but I always feel like the dentists are trying to upsell me on things I do not need.

I have been there a couple times now for cleanings and some dental work. The staff is very pleasant and I felt comfortable each and every visit. I think they do a great job and would definitely recommend to anyone :) read more

I've been a long time patient of Dr. Lyon. I love the staff the doctor the whole atmosphere. Very friendly professional people that work there. I always feel comfortable. They do a fabulous job with scheduling your appointments and keeping in contact with you. I highly recommend them. read more

The tooth fairy has been our family dentist for years. Sure, they sometimes hard sell ya on the oral cancer screening and the night guards and such, but it doesn't bother me enough to find another dentist. I am a "white knuckle" patient and have been known to ask for the gas during something as routine as a cleaning. An aside, I once read that dentists have the highest suicide rates in the country. I guess it makes sense when you consider how many people absolutely detest going to the dentist. I'm not gonna say that I still don't dread the dental appointments, but with Dr. Lyon, I dread them much less. My hygenists have always been extraordinarily patient (hee hee- punny) with me and my sissy mouth and my tendency to get a little fainty feeling at the sight of dental implements. I don't get the lectures about flossing or smoking, but I think that's because they've decided I'm too old to be taught new tricks. The staff is always friendly and upbeat and my hubby thinks Dr. Lyon is hot. I'd give em five stars, but it IS the dentist. read more

Dr Lyon is a great dentist. I had not had a dentist in Austin fit some time (due to a bad experience with another dentist). A friend recommended Dr Lyon years back and I've been a patient ever since. The staff seems to push extras - but it's not too annoying. The only other oddity is that, as a guy, I definitely seem to be in the patient minority... read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lyon for over 10 years. Having owned my own business, and managed others, I know how hard it is to keep good employees. It says so much about Dr. Lyon, that her staff has been with her for as long as I've been a patient, if not longer...and they are awesome! Heather, Sunshine, and Debbie are favorites. Dr. Lyon has worked with me, my kids, spouse, and my mother. Kristin the business manager has been nothing but accommodating and patient with our family, and I can't express how grateful I am to have found human beings in this office, who treat their patients like human beings. Dr. Lyon's bedside manner is outstanding. She shares openly, and never forgets the last conversation we had...to pick up right where we left off. Last rant: I moved to Round Rock three years ago, and still drive my kids and myself ALL THE WAY to south Austin to continue to see Dr. Lyon. Considering Austin traffic, if that doesn't convince you to try Dr. Lyon, I don't know what will! read more

My time at Dr Lyon's office is the only negative dental experience I've ever had. I was in no pain or discomfort, but was told I had a few cavities that needed to be filled. I was told the procedure would take about an hour and a half, but 3 hours later I was still in the chair and spent the next several days in constant pain. Went back for some adjustments a few days and left in even more pain. I ended up switching dentists and needed 2 additional follow up visits to finally get my mouth back to normal. read more

I was a patient of Dr Lyons for all of 4 months. I had some issues with some back molars and she said the only "fix" was crowns. Ok, I didnt argue. When she numbed me up for the procedure she did not give me enough and I could feel her drilling. I let her know I needed more and she got very rude, huffed off and came back with more. Well, not sure what she gave me because it didnt numb me up anymore. I could FEEL everything. About 2 weeks after this procedure my tooth started to hurt (needed ibuprofen to make pain go away) and I called to make another visit. I went in and she looked at my mouth and said "I dont know why its hurting. What do you want me to do about it." A week later I was back again with more pain and again she looked at me as if I had done something wrong. Her bill was so high I had to apply for a care credit card to cover all her charges, as her fees were higher that what my dental insurance would cover. I'm talking x-rays and such, not cosmetic procedures. I make a decent living and usually pay for these things out of pocket when insurance does not cover. For her fees, they were too high. For example, at the time her panoramic xray fee was $100. My insurance would only cover $87. Most dentists work with insurance and charge what insurance pay. I give this as one example of the MANY charges I had with her. Believe me my bill was in the thousands. Dr Lyons attitude, her lack of caring about my tooth pain, and her company policies drove me to find another dentist. Dr McDowell, to be exact. I would recommend giving him a call, and stay clear of Dr Lyons. read more

Excellent and caring dental office. Dr Lyons is extremely professional and takes the time to listen to your concerns.

havent gone yet - but i will say this... the staff is amazing on the phone. so nice and sweet and very helpful. they were so kind when i got sick and wasnt able to make my monday morning appt. (i went to urgent care instead). I can tell they went above and beyond. - thanks! read more

I was looking for a dentist and found good reviews for Dr. Lyon on several different websites so I decided to set up an appointment. I was not disappointed. She is fantastic! The staff is wonderful. I am very pleased with all the work they have had completed so far (I am on my third appointment). I would recommend this dentist to anyone looking to get some work done. read more

I am writing this review to warn anyone from getting ANY cosmetic dental work from Dr.Lyon. My mother went to her in need of veneer work. The doctor made a mold of my mother's original teeth, the size and shape, so that they could replicate what she had so that it looked "aesthetically pleasing." Soon after Dr. Lyon began working on my mother's teeth, she completely changed and dismantled them by shaving them down and removing some so that she could receive the new veneers, Dr. Lyon lost the mold of my mother's original teeth!!! My mother was devastated!!!!!!! She had already been through so much physical pain and now the emotional pain of knowing that Dr. Lyon had no idea on how to recreate her original smile. The doctor suggested that I come in and be "looked at" since I am her daughter and we have similar features. That's it just a glance at my smile! Then they created the new veneers which have NEVER looked right!!!!!! The teeth she has now and the ones before are the COMPLETE DIFFERENT SIZES!!!!!! You can see it with the naked eye and in photos!!!! She spent almost $20,000 with this doctor and the result is still terrible! Now it has been a few years and the entire bridge that she now has as the entire front of her mouth is LOOSE!!!!! Talk about a mess! My mother is heartbroken and so am I. She has no idea what to do about it now and has such a lack of trust after such a traumatizing experience! Not to mention the money lost for a botched procedure. All that I know to do is warn others from going to this AWFUL and INCOMPETENT dentist. I hope what happened to my mother doesn't happen to anyone else. read more

Dr Lyons Team is practically perfect in every way. One of the Hygeinist (Stephanie) is very professional and cleans my teeth very well without any pain. I love this dentist office and they are a far cry better than any other dentist in the Austin area read more
