Board-Certified Prosthodontist

Dr. Ryan Sloan | Prosthodontist at Smile Now Boise Dentures and Implants in Boise, Idaho

Dr. Ryan Sloan, DDS MDS FACP

Dr. Sloan has completed years of additional training to earn his certificate in prosthodontics, a specialty that fewer than 2% of dentists pursue. He is also a Fellow in the American College of Prosthodontists, a distinction only a third of prosthodontists achieve. Additionally, he is one of only two board-certified prosthodontists in the state of Idaho.

Dr. Ryan Sloan was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. After high school, he attended Southern Virginia University where he studied business and chemistry and played baseball for two years. It was there that he met his wife, Jasmin. After graduation, they moved to Dallas, TX so that Ryan could attend Texas A&M University Health Science Center College of Dentistry.

While in Dallas, they had their first two children, and Ryan discovered his passion for prosthodontics. He was accepted to the graduate prosthodontic program at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center College of Dentistry in Memphis, TN. He spent the next three years there earning his certificate in prosthodontics, a specialty fewer than 2% of dentists pursue. During that time he also taught dental students and obtained his Master of Dental Sciences degree at the UTHSC College of Graduate Health Sciences.

Following graduation, the Sloan family moved to Reno, NV where Ryan worked as an associate prosthodontist and they welcomed their third child. During this time, Ryan challenged and passed the American Board of Prosthodontics exam and became a Fellow in the American College of Prosthodontists, a distinction only a third of prosthodontists achieve. He has been published in the Journal of Prosthodontics and has been a speaker and table clinician at national and regional dental meetings.

Ryan was excited to get the opportunity to join Dr. Stott at Smile Now Dentures and Implants and loves living and raising his family in Boise.  He is one of only two board-certified prosthodontists in the state of Idaho.

Ryan and his wife Jasmin have been married for 13 years. Their children are George (10), Olivia (6) and Millie (2). Ryan enjoys spending time outdoors and is currently trying to relearn how to play the piano, an effort he started as a child but didn’t continue past middle school. Jasmin is an avid photographer, artist, and bird enthusiast. They love exploring all of the natural beauty that Idaho has to offer.

What is a Prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a specialist in oral rehabilitation. This includes replacing missing teeth with dental implants, crowns, bridges or dentures and restoring worn or damaged teeth with crowns or veneers. A prosthodontist is trained to pay special attention to both the cosmetic and functional aspects of replacing or repairing teeth. To become a prosthodontist, a dentist must first complete dental school and then pursue three additional years of training in an accredited university prosthodontic program.
