Whether you are experiencing sudden pain, a broken tooth, an unexpected dental injury, or severe discomfort, prompt care makes all the difference. At Lyon Dental in Alcoa, TN, we treat urgent situations with gentle, immediate care designed to put you at ease and provide effective treatment when you need it most.
Led by Dr. Karina Lyon Gavrilov, DDS, our team responds quickly and compassionately to dental emergencies, working to relieve pain, ease anxiety, and get you back to feeling like yourself again.
In Pain? We Offer Appointments Within 24 Hours

When dental pain strikes, waiting is not an option. We offer same-day emergency appointments whenever possible so you can be seen quickly and receive the care you need without delay. Emergency visits are focused on:
- Gently identifying the source of your pain
- Providing immediate, soothing relief when possible
- Stabilizing urgent dental conditions safely
Creating a clear, step-by-step treatment plan for complete recovery
Our priority is to resolve your pain quickly, gently, and in an environment where you feel fully supported every step of the way.

We are proud to be one of the few dental offices in the region offering Friday and Saturday emergency care, giving patients access to treatment when many other practices are closed.
Our added availability means you do not have to wait through the weekend in pain or uncertainty. When a dental emergency strikes and you need help, we are here.
