Dr. Christina Byerson was born in Japan and after living in Oklahoma and Germany settled in Hampton, Virginia. While on a Mission of Mercy Project in Wise County, Virginia, she received confirmation that dentistry was her calling. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University and then matriculated on to VCU School of Dentistry where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). She also earned an MBA in Health Care Administration from Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi.

Dr. Byerson is kind, friendly, approachable, and loves interacting with all people. She prefers approaching dentistry using a cheerful attitude, evidence-based research, and genuine concern for the best interest of her patients. She is an active member of The Academy of General Dentistry and attends conferences and other events to stay up to date on topics and trends in dentistry.

Dr. Byerson is supported by family, which includes her husband, Braxton - a life coach, professional speaker, and author - and four very active young boys. When she isn't caring for patients, her top priority is spending quality time with her family.
