Graduating with top honors from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2015, Ibecame a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon andAlpha Sigma Nu-- which distinguishes the member in scholarship, loyalty, and service to others.
I am a man of faith and have a passion for building strong relationships with my patients. Being an active member in the local Heartland Study Club and Spear Education Study Club, I am continually investing in my education to be able to provide comprehensive plans so every patient can have the confident smile they deserve.
My wife, Shelby is a dental hygienist, so inevitably dinner conversations are about teeth! In my free time, you'll find me on walks with my wife, enjoying a golf outing with my two brothers, waterskiing at my parent's summer cabin, or waterfowl hunting with my father and brothers.
I went on to receive my dental degree from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2021. My favorite aspect of dentistry is getting to know and learn about each patient so I can provide the best individualized care possible. Having spent a significant amount of time in the dental chair as a kid, I am passionate about creating an environment of comfort and trust.

I usually don't do reviews, but was to great of an experience not too. If you are looking for a friendly and understanding office, this is the one. They take alot of steps to make sure you are comfortable that my other dentist did not. They also don't judge you on the health of your teeth. Great place, where I'll recommend everyone to go!

Dr. Ryan and the team at smile care are awesome. Rhonda is a very effective and gentle hygienist. I appreciate their transparent fact of the matter approach. It doesn't feel like they are trying to sell me services or products that I do not need which has not always been my experience with dental offices. Their equipment is superb to other's I have tried. I've had a fair amount of work done here and am happy to have found them. Thanks!

How time flies by! I have been going to Smile Care since at least the 1990's (perhaps even earlier) and continue to go because of the professional care and services they offer. Even with major changes over the many years, they are still offering excellent dental care! Highly recommended!

I enjoyed getting to meet Dr. Ben. He did a great job of checking my sensitive tooth. Dr. Ryan has always been very professional and caring. Rhonda, my hygienist is quite good at getting those teeth in great shape. Thank you to the front desk staff as well for getting me in so quickly!

If dentists scare you this is the place to go. Everyone was nice and now I found my favorite teeth cleaner. I truly appreciate the Dentist and his staff. Maybe next time in I won't be so scared.
