Get to Know Dr. Lyons

Smile Easy. Live Happy.

  • Sparkman Orthodontics
  • October 4, 2022

1. Where did you grow up?

Canyon Eagles all the way through!

2. Why did you decide to go into the orthodontic field?

Orthodontics gave me the confidence to smile and really come out of my shell as a teenager. I knew I wanted the same opportunity to have a lasting impact like that in the lives of others. I am also a perfectionist by nature and love having a career where paying attention to the details matters!

3. Do you have any pets?

Yes. We have an orange tabby cat, Louis (who hates everyone but me) and a golden doodle, Skye (who loves to go on adventures with us).

4. What do you like to do for fun outside of work?

My husband, Denver, and I love to travel and experience new places. We love being outdoors and spend a lot of time hiking and playing golf. I have a huge passion for photography and enjoy doing photoshoots on the weekends. I also love to read when I have some down time.

5. What is your favorite movie/TV show?

The Greatest Showman

6. What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

All of them 😊 Blue Bell butter crunch if I HAD to choose.

7. What kind of music do you listen to?

Christian, country (especially Texas country), and anything Taylor Swift.

8. What has been the most rewarding thing of your career so far?

I just really enjoy getting to be a part of people’s stories. There is nothing more rewarding than watching someone blossom as their smile improves and their confidence increases. I am truly blessed with the best job in the world!

9. If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Anywhere new! A few places on my bucket list are Greece, Tuscany, Vermont in the fall, and Banff, Canada.

10. Tell us a fun fact most people don’t know about you.

I have a single digit handicap and have played golf in over 10 states and 3 countries. I might be a little addicted! 😊

dr, smile building
Ashley S.
Hands down the best! Both of my kids had an excellent experience at Sparkman’s. Such a friendly, welcoming environment. The Doctors truly care and want you to love your smile!
Brianna C.
Dr. Clifton and the amazing Sparkman team did great! The experience couldn’t have gone more smooth. Everyone is so kind and always had a smile on their face.
Blake C.
I came into sparkman with a mission of a beautiful smile. I got so much more, a godly driven practice driven by deep morals and value. Excellence is the only standard at Sparkman. 7 years later with routine check ups and I couldn’t be happier to have the Sparkman print on my smile.
Breana R.
Dr Sparkman and his team have been so amazing during my daughter’s treatment and even after. After almost 2 years outta braces they are still helping my kid with her retainer, permanent and clear ones.
Natalie H.
I took my daughter who was already worked up about a not so good job experience elsewhere.. we walk in the have beautiful music playing, we are welcomed by some of the friendliest people! I loved that they gave us a tour and made us feel so welcomed and most importantly made my daughter feel comfortable. I definitely found the place where I am going to get braces for my daughter! The doctor was so supportive and explained everything to where we understood the entire process perfectly. Thanya was great! Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know.
Lori M.
Axel did a great job changing the wires and explaining the rubber bands on my son’s braces. He was very kind and has a great personality!
Chelsey J.
Dr. Lyons and the entire staff are wonderful! I’m very happy with my new smile!
Carmen J.
I loved my whole experience at Sparkmans! My teeth were so bad before and now they look perfect can’t thank the team enough for what they did for me!
Kayla R.
El personal muy amable,!! Muy limpio y atentas las secretarias te hacen sentir vomodo
Dustin H.
These people are the salt of the earth! It’s always such an easy process, and everyone is so nice! Highly recommend Sparkman.
Marcial G.
Sparkman Orthodontics is absolutely amazing! They are friendly, professional, and always have the highest standards for their patients and their employees. I highly recommend them.
Holly B.
I took my son to the Pampa office and was pretty impressed by the way the staff treated us, their level of organization, the way work as a team, their knowledge and their cleanliness. I’m am constantly impressed by them each visit. Today I went to the Amarillo office, and it’s way swankier than the Pampa office. I can’t recommend this place enough. This is by far the BEST dental office I’ve ever experienced.
Kim M.
Sparkman is amazing! My son and I both have nothing but positive things about everyone at both Amarillo/Canyon locations! Their set up flows, from check in, treatment, to checkout!
Rachel H.
Amazing staff! Everyone is always friendly and professional and I love that they set you up with the whole plan and payments from the beginning so no surprises. They explain everything before they do it and that helped a lot with my kiddos anxiety too. Love them all! Highly recommend!
Mags A.
Love Sparkman Orthodontics! From the start, they made the process of getting Invisalign for my 11 year old son worry-free. I was concerned about having to work in multiple appointments over the course of the treatment, but fortunately, we are able to do our scans from home! Communication was quick and we've just moved to our last aligner for this phase of treatment and his teeth look great! Highly recommend.
