I have been practicing dentistry since 2010. My first goal in treating patients is to establish a working relationship based on trust and an agreed upon course of action. I want my patients to have healthy, beautiful teeth that do what they are meant to do and will last them a long, long time. I strive to be conservative and detail oriented in my approach to providing
excellent dental care; I want my patients to maintain their original parts for as long as they can! Obviously, there are times when I must intervene to establish healthy, functional teeth. My team and I strive to provide the best treatment options and care for our patients when treatment becomes necessary. My particular interests in dentistry include functional cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, and treatment of TMJ disorders.
In my personal life, I love being out in the woods or on my fishing boat. I also enjoy film, golfing, cooking, and making beer. I am just as comfortable in the middle of the city as I am in a tree stand!
I thoroughly enjoy refining my skills and knowledge as a dentist and am very active in pursuing continuing education. I am a Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry, and Im also a member of the American Dental Association, Wisconsin Dental Association, Dane County Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, and the Madison Dental Progress Forum Study Club. I look forward to meeting you!
I graduated with my degree in dental hygiene from MATC in 2012, and Ive been a hygienist here at NS Belleville since May of 2017. The things I love about this practice are the down-to-earth, relaxed atmosphere and the up-to-date technology and dental techniques. I want patients to know their concerns are always addressed, and I work to ensure theyre always comfortable in my chair.
I love to spend time with my husband and our young daughter some of my favorite activities include camping, running, playing ultimate Frisbee, riding our motorcycle and cooking. I also love candy in the worst way!
Ive been a dental hygienist with Neighborhood Smiles Belleville since December of 2016. I love that our practice does high-quality dentistry in the beautiful, quaint town of Belleville. Its nice to work at a smaller practice, keeping the feel more personal for our wonderful patient clientele. We have a good group of employees, and I enjoy each day I get to be here. Some of the important things I bring to this practice are excellent care to patients and making them feel comfortable in regard to their recall hygiene visits, as well as their treatment needs. I truly enjoy all aspects of dentistry, and I love seeing the change and improvement of patients oral health!
Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family, especially my husband and our two children, ages 4 and 2, whom I simply adore. We spend a lot of our free time north in Fremont, WI. I enjoy the outdoors, boating, rollerblading and riding a moped when time allows.
Ive been a dental assistant since 2008, and Ive been a member of NS Bellevilles staff since December 2017. What I really love about our practice is feeling like this is my family and knowing a lot of our patients personally this practice gives our patients a real hometown feeling. I bring new ideas and a lot of experience to this team, including working with sedation, implants, oral surgery and full cosmetic reconstruction. I love giving our patients a new smile and letting them be in control of how they want to restore their mouths and have a brighter smile in the future.
I have been a dental assistant since 2008. I joined Neighborhood Smiles in December of 2014. I received my diploma in Advanced Dental Assisting from Blackhawk Technical College in Janesville, WI. I enjoy working in dentistry and helping people achieve and maintain a great smile.
My husband and I moved to New Glarus in 2010 after getting married. In our free time we enjoy walking our dog Killer, a five year old black lab. We also enjoy traveling, camping, fishing, and spending time with our families.
Ive been the treatment coordinator here at Neighborhood Smiles since the spring of 2020. I grew up in Lancaster, WI, and started my career in dentistry after graduating from Madison Area Technical College. My fascination with the healthcare field and with teeth in particular is what drew me into this field. I worked as a dental assistant for 30 years and recently transitioned into the administrative side of the professional. Im excited to be a part of this office and the great care theyre delivering to patients. In addition to my years of clinical experience, I bring to this office a passion for working with patients to share my dental knowledge and help them to make educated decisions for a healthy smile.
I live in Mt. Horeb with my husband. And although we are empty nesters, we stay busy keeping up with the adventures of our five young-adult children. Some of my favorite activities include flower gardening, playing the piano, exploring waterfalls, cooking, and relaxing with family and friends.

If I could give Neighborhood Smiles ten stars if I could. The staff are all wonderful!!! Dr. Ryan and his staff have made all the difference in my dentistry experience. I have had Lauren and Dr. Ryan work as a team over nearly two years. Both are the best at what they do. I highly recommend this dentistry office.

Dr Ryan's environment at Smiles sure beats my abrasive dentist experiences elsewhere. Everyone on the team is always friendly and knowledgeable. All the Dental Hygienists and Assistants have been great, I have had Miranda more consistently than others and she always does a fantastic job. You never wait long for an appointment in the lobby either, I think the longest time I've waited has been 5 minutes. Most importantly they do great work!

The place to go when you need a dentist. Friendly, professional staff. Listens to your questions, answers with options available. Not pushy for you to spend lots of money. Will return for another visit.

This is the first time in my life that a dentist and staff made sure that my experience would be extraordinarily and the outcome would be fantastic. The unique and expertise is one you won't find everyday. They work with you in every since of the word whether it be financial or medically. I recommend Neighborhood Smiles to everyone who wants to smile again with confidents. A special thanks to Dr. Ryan, Lauren, Alley & Scott, you guys have transformed my life, I'm humbled and graceful.

I have had Dr. Ryan do regular dental work, Invisaline, and a root canal for me. He can do it all and working with him and his team of awesome dental assistants is like working with friends and family. He is also in my preferred dental network and close to home. Glad I switched from my dentist in Madison to one in my Neighborhood.

I recently was in search of a new dentist and a friend told me about Dr. Ryan. I was hesitant to go to a dentist in a small town, but I am glad I made an appointment! I have been there twice this month and am so happy with the service I have received. Dr. Ryan and his entire staff are absolutely incredible!

I came to Dr. Ryan and his wonderful staff last year in search of a hail mary. I was told that I would get to be the one who determines which way my treatment plan would go and my friend couldn't be more right. After getting an implant set, i decided to go for the whole mouth restoration. I had many difficulties I was dealing with including a cross-bite, holes in numerous spots and some amount of decay seemingly in every tooth. Dr Ryan and his staff took me down multiple paths of outcome to see what I was most comfortable with and I could not be happier with the results. I feel like I've become a member of their family and team where they all know me by name. From getting the crowns put on to a tooth extraction, i couldn't believe how gentle and fast all of this was. Thank you again Dr. Ryan and team!!!
