Cleveland Woman Indicted For Illegal Dentist Practice Making Over $400K [VIDEO]

Dentil care is expensive these days even if you have insurance.  A Cleveland woman has been indicted for illegal dentist practice, making over $400K.

37 year old Jazemen Lyons, an unlicensed Shaker Heights dentist was indicted on Monday for practicing without a license and generating over $400,000 in proceeds.  According to a release from the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office, from 2022 to 2025, Jazemen Lyons, owned and operated Smile Lounge in Shaker Heights, Ohio a suburb of Cleveland.   Prosecutors say the shop offered cosmetic procedures and orthodontic services without a licensed dentist on staff.

The criminal case was preceded by complaints from former customers, including at least one woman who spoke publicly in 2025 about what she says happened after getting composite veneers at the Smile Lounge. “I do not want to smile anymore,” she told Cleveland 19, saying she paid more than $3,000 and then dealt with repeated breakage and painful repairs.  That patient and others have said they filed complaints with the Ohio Dental Board.

Jazemen Lyons is scheduled for arraignment on May 18 at 8:30 a.m. in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.
