Lyman Family Dentistry was founded in 1968 by Dr. Grady Brooky Brooks. As a lifelong resident of Lyman, Dr. Brooks established a standard of excellence that has carried on to this day. Through the years, Dr. Larry Miller, Dr. Matthew Word, Dr. Heather Wright, and Dr. Chris Ayers, along with our staff and support members, have carried on this tradition of excellence.
Many of our current patients have been seen here for decades. Several generations of family members are routinely seen in our office, and this loyalty is a testament to the exceptional care that is provided in our office.
We welcome any and all to become part of our family, and invite you to visit our office any time. Once you have experienced the gentle care and compassion that Lyman Family Dentistry has become known for, you will see that we are very different from the average dental office. Our number one goal is to provide outstanding treatment in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. We understand the anxiety and apprehension that can accompany a dental visit, and you can be assured that you will be given the personal care needed in a non-judgmental and positive manner.
Dr. Chris D. Ayers, DMD, was born and raised in Taylors, SC, just down the road from Lyman Family Dentistry. He is an honors graduate of Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina. During his time at Clemson and MUSC, Dr. Ayers was an active leader in many community outreach programs and various philanthropies, as well as an award-winning student who also held many diverse positions in several social, academic, and charitable organizations. He has practiced dentistry in both Charleston and the Upstate, with extensive experience in all areas of restorative, cosmetic, emergency, and comprehensive dentistry.
In 2010, he married his wonderful wife Marianne, who is also a dentist. They are proud parents of two amazing children, John and Amelia. When not engaging in his passion of practicing dentistry, Dr. Ayers enjoys spending time with his family, sports, and being outdoors anywhere in the beautiful state of South Carolina.
The Team at Lyman Family Dentistry is composed of only the finest professionals in the area. With many years of skillful experience, our staff has received extensive training and continuing education in their various areas of expertise, and mandatory certification and licensure requirements are firmly maintained. Each individual staff member is committed to providing a caring, professional, and compassionate environment to ensure that every patient has a positive experience at our office.
