Dr. Loyola obtained her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Tennessee College of Dentistry in 2021 and her Bachelor of Science in Biology degree from Lipscomb University. She considers dentistry an art, which makes her very meticulous with her work, from sculpting a filling to making sure the tissues heal nicely after an extraction. She enjoys empowering patients to achieve a healthy and beautiful smile while educating them on how to maintain it over time.
She was born in Santiago, Chile and as an immigrant, she has a soft spot for the under-served communities. She is proud to be a native Spanish speaker, which has helped her nourish patient trust and provide quality care to a wider population. She worked as a qualified Spanish-English Medical Interpreter for 10 years while pursuing her childhood dream of becoming a Dentist.
She is currently a volunteer Dentist at a local non-profit and travels across TN yearly to volunteer at Mid-South Mission of Mercy and Remote Area Medical clinics. As a lover of travel and culture, she looks forward to a point in her career where she can participate in more mission trips abroad.
When Dr. Loyola is not working or volunteering, she is enjoying a good meal with family or friends, learning how to play accordion, practicing her french, traveling, or playing sand volleyball.
