Born and raised in Fargo, I graduated from Park Christian High School in 2007. Next, I attended the University of Jamestown, graduating Summa Cum Laude in 2011.
Graduating with top honors from Creighton University School of Dentistry in 2015, I became a member of Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Alpha 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 and our two young boys, enjoying a golf outing with my two brothers, waterskiing, or waterfowl hunting with my family.
Looking forward to meeting you!
-Dr. Ryan Nygard
