Welcome to Montana Endodontics ~ Billings Endodontics
Dr. Stephen M. Lyon, a native of the Pacific Northwest, has been in private endodontic practice in Billings Montana since 1992. He graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo Utah in 1986, received his dental degree from Creighton University, Boyne School of Dental Medicine, in Omaha Nebraska in 1990 and graduated as a postdoctoral resident in endodontics from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts in 1992.
Dr. Lyon was the first board eligible endodontist, licensed and practicing as such, in the state of Montana starting in August of 1992. At that time he was also providing a good share of the specialist, endodontic services for Wyoming and the western regions of North and South Dakota.
In May of 1996, Dr. Lyon and his staff took their first microscopic endodontic course at the San Diego based training facility known as PERF, (Pacific Endodontic Research Foundation) . He then began to practice endodontics thereafter with the aid of the surgical microscope, magnification, and fiber optic light sources, another first for the area, followed by the rotary assisted instrumentation of canals in 1997. In 2011 he was the first to use the Cone Beam Technology, available in office, to evaluate and treat his patients in the most effective manner available and he continues to seek out new technologies to improve the efficacy of treatment for his patients.
What Our Patients Say
I highly recommend Dr. Lyon. He is extremely thorough and has a good bedside manner. Recently,on a weekend, I had severe pain in my mouth...he called in an antibiotic immediately. I'm doing better and I appreciated his response so very much. He cares about his work and his patients and that means a lot to me.
