Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
I chose dentistry because every day brings the chance to make someone’s life a little better — whether easing pain or creating a smile they’re proud of.”

After completing his undergraduate studies at Duke University, Dr. Ryan graduated from the University of North Carolina Dental School in 1992. He then completed his residency at the ChristianaCare Health System. Entering private practice in 1993, Dr. Ryan became the second dentist to join our Middletown office. Today, he is a member of the American Dental Association, Delaware State Dental Society, and the Academy for Sports Dentistry. In Addition, Dr. Ryan has completed courses at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Spear Education, and is a certified Six Month Smiles provider.

Life outside the office is delightfully busy for Dr. Ryan and his wife thanks to their four children. Beyond spending quality time with his family, he tries to hit the golf course and travel whenever he can.
