Dental Care For Your Family

Professional dental cleaning icon

Cleanings

Professional dental cleaning is needed to remove plaque and tartar which can remain on your teeth even after properly brushing and flossing.

Plaque that remains turns into tartar and if not removed effectively by a dental cleaning is the main cause of tooth decay and gum disease.

Depending on your unique situation, we may recommend a cleaning every 3, 4, or 6 months. We will clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar and then polish them to remove some staining on teeth.

X-rays will be taken at least yearly and the doctor will recommend any treatment if needed. They hygienist will also perform an oral cancer screening at each visit.

Dental fillings icon

Fillings

Dental Fillings are necessary when decay has been detected via x-ray or visual examination. The doctor will remove the decay and restore the affected area with either a composite filling material (white) or an amalgam filling material (silver).

Crowns are a tooth shaped covering that is placed over your natural tooth to strengthen and protect your tooth.

It seals out plaque and bacteria and prevents further decay.

After determination that a crown is right for you, you and the doctor will discuss the best crown for your situation, taking into concern function, aesthetics, and budget concerns. Crowns consist of at least two appointments. 

Gum disease treatment icon

Periodontics

Gum disease is an infection of the tissues that support your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. Because gum disease is usually painless, you may not know you have it.

At regular check-up, yearly the hygienist or dentist will measure the depth of the shallow v-shaped crevice between your tooth and gums to identify whether you have gum disease.

Periodontal diseases attack just below the gum line where they can cause the attachment of tooth and supporting tissues to break down.

Gingivitis is the beginning stage of gum disease; the gums become red, swollen and bleeds easily.

MEET YOUR DOCTORS

Dr. Joe Lyman, Tucson dentist, with his family

Dr. Lyman earned his bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University (but don’t hold that against him…he enjoys Wildcat sports too). After he graduated from ASU, Summa Cum Laude, he was accepted into the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health at A.T. Still University where he earned his Certificate of Public Health with a dental emphasis and became a Doctor of Dental Medicine.

Dr. Lyman is always interested in continued education, locally and nationally. He is committed to knowing the best and most current techniques, treatments and technology available, not only because this is the industry he loves, but because he knows his patients expect unsurpassed care and he expects that of himself too.

After graduating from dental school Dr. Lyman took an internship in Galveston, TX to gain more experience learning the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. From there he practiced general dentistry in Texas with more than 50% of his patients being children, which he REALLY enjoyed.

Before attending college, Dr. Lyman spent 2 years in Mississippi as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints but he had lived in Arizona most of his life. When he and his wife (a native Arizonan) learned a dental practice was available in Tucson, Arizona they jumped at the opportunity to move their family back home. In their free time, you can usually find the Lyman’s (including their 4 children) exploring local attractions, attending sporting or cultural events, playing at a park, hiking, swimming or riding bikes.

Over the years, Dr. Lyman has volunteered his time serving in local and foreign communities at “Give Kids a Smile”, “AZ Mission of Mercy”, “Day for Special Smiles” and with “Latin World Ministries”. If you can’t tell, Dr. Lyman loves people and dentistry!

We are very excited for you to meet Dr. Lyman, we know you are going to love him!

Very happy with my new dentist, Dr Lyman and his staff, a family owned practice. Dr. Lyman and Liz worked on me, each of whom were competent, professional, and welcoming. I enjoyed watching my new crown be milled, fired, polished and cemented within 30 minutes. This practice is a great addition to my healthcare team. Very highly recommend.

Kind, professional, and helpful office. Allison was very gentle with my cleaning. Their $410 annual plan for two cleanings is an excellent value. Hard to find such quality at an affordable cash pay price. My last dentist told me I had 4+ "small" cavities that needed filling. Dr Lyman did a fresh full set of x-rays and said that, actually, I have none.

Follow up visit on Wednesday October 8th I requested to have a filling on a molar replaced, as it was a temporary filling from a required root canal through an existing crown. This appointment was scheduled in less than 24hrs at my request. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes. This is an example of the excellent and professional services offered by Wilmot Family Dentistry. I have referred several of my friends and family including my wife and daughter here. You can trust them with all your dental care, they treat you like welcome guests and provide excellent care and premium customer service Follow up visit 6/18/26 Today in my checkup after a visual exam i reportedly was doing much better. Everything had healed nicely and I received a thorough cleaning and polish. Very comfortable visit and will follow up again in four months. I made the right choice with this practice. I highly recommend their services to you and your family. I had neglected my teeth for a little to long, I suffer from Sjögren’s (dry mouth). Scheduled an appointment with Allison for a deep clean. Needed root planing, do to my neglect. She was amazing! Excellent cleaning, in a careful way she performed an excellent job, nearly painlessly. I was nervous about finding a new Dental practice and found a new home for all my dental needs. Dr Lyman is very personable and professional. They completed an xray panel, devised a plan and implemented it for 2 visits. Allison did a root planing and polish, split between 2 appointments, do zo my insurance carriers. Overall it was fantastic alleviated my concerns, completed the necessary tasks and made me feel like family. I highly recommend their services.

My recent visit to Wilmot Family Dentistry was another outstanding experience. Dr. Lyman accommodated my emergency appointment the next day, and his staff greeted me promptly at my scheduled time. He offered several options to address my concern, then worked expertly with his dental assistant, Dolores, to resolve it with exceptional skill and coordination. I left thoroughly satisfied. An enjoyable dental visit may be uncommon, but that was my experience.

Great experience! Called several dentist trying to see who would accept our insurance and how much it would cost for an out-of-network appointment. Staff was super helpful and informative and afterwards I was set on taking my kids here. They were able to squeeze them in and it was a super smooth process! Thanks for all you do!

I was very nervous because it seems that dental offices don’t care about their patients. This office was nothing like that. I was asked numerous times if I was comfortable and to my surprise the dentist gave me some great options for treatment. Oh, and the little gal that did all my X-rays, she was amazing! I hate X-rays cause they cut up my month. I was not cut or scraped once! Amazing staff! I took a chance and I’m so happy I did!
