Dr. Ryan and Cheryl, his wife of 29 years, are very proud of their three children. Rebecca is recently married and a music teacher in Schaumburg, IL. Steven just graduated from Illinois State University with dual degrees in finance and insurance. Colleen is a figure skater and senior at Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park. The youngest is Sydney, Dr. Ryan’s five-year-old Australian Sheppard. In his spare time, Dr. Ryan loves golfing, spending time with family and friends, keeping current on the latest advances in dentistry, and rooting for all the local sports teams (especially the Cubs!).

His advanced training in CEREC™ same-day restorations allows him to provide individualized treatment in all aspects of implant dentistry.
