The dental practice of Mike Ryan, DDS is founded on the fundamental belief that good dental health results from a healthy relationship between dentist and patient. That you, as a patient, are more than just a set of teeth to be treated. That your overall health is understood and considered. That your time is respected. And that when youre with your dentist you are mutually engaged in a collaborative commitment to keeping your smile healthy. In a world of corporate dentistry where profitability is often maximized through impersonal, assembly-line care, Dr. Michael Ryan offers a decidedly different approach. Personal, traditional and relationship-based: thats the dental practice of Michael Ryan, DDS.

With a small yet highly experienced and skilled staff, the dental office of Dr. Ryan provides a personal level of patient service and care that is becoming increasingly rare. Our team takes the time to know you as a friend, and strives, on every visit, to treat you as if you are a guest in our home.

Dr. Ryan has been my trusted dentist for many years and is simply the best at what he does. His traditional, highly personal approach is hard to find these days and is something I very much appreciate. I wouldnt trust my smile to anyone else.

I would recommend you, Dr. Mike Ryan, to anyone seeking a dentist. It's the quality of your work and the atmosphere of your office which keeps me coming back. Thank you for taking excellent care of my teeth presently and in the past. It's been my good fortune having you as my dentist, and Tara and Teresa in your office.

I have nothing but praise for Dr. Ryan, Tara and Teresa. I have been going to Dr. Ryan for over 15 years. I appreciate his thoughtful, patient, caring, friendly and gentle approach to keeping my teeth strong, healthy and beautiful. He takes all manner of time to explain, study and solve issues for me. My latest adventure in the office was due to my teeth eroding from the back side. I had thought they were just horribly stained but Dr. Ryan patiently explained that what I saw was the color of the tooth inside from the erosion. He offered several options and now my teeth feel strong, sturdy and beautiful. He even fixed some chipping on the front teeth. The best part was right after fixing the teeth I went to the gym and the girl at the desk commented that I had the prettiest smile! I felt so happy and confident!! Going to his office is more like going to visit friends who just happen to be helping me take care of my teeth and smile. Thank you, Dr. Ryan!!!
