Dr Kristen Hermansen-Ryan

Dr. Ryan is a Central City graduate, attended undergrad at UNL, and graduated with her dental degree from UNMC College of Dentistry. Since graduation, she has sought out continuing education to enhance the level of dentistry that she provides to patients. Dr. Ryan received her Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry in 2014, and then Mastership in July 2017. She has also studied with Progressive Orthodontics, Geneva Dental Institute of Sacramento, American Academy of Facial Esthetics, Spear Education, and the Misch Implant Institute. Dr. Ryan and her husband, Nick, have three children and one other business, Prairie Creek Vineyards, in downtown Central City. You can catch Dr. Ryan waiting tables there on Friday nights. Dr. Ryan is involved in her community, serving on the Archer Credit Union Board of Directors and the Merrick Foundation Board. In previous years she served on the Merrick County Economic Development Corp Board and the Central City Area Chamber of Commerce. Professional associations include American Dental Association, Nebraska Dental Association, and the Academy of General Dentistry. She generally has little free time, but when she gets a chance, she takes off for the mountains. Backpacking, camping and fly fishing are passions that shape her escape. Her son says she makes the best cinnamon rolls in the whole wide world and she is someone to be reckoned with in a pumpkin carving contest.
