Ryan S. Roberts, DDS, MS

Ryan Roberts, D.D.S., M.S.

Board-Certified, Pediatric Dentistry

Guest Lecturer


Dr. Roberts completed his undergraduate career by wrestling at Oklahoma State University, graduating with the 2004 Top Academic Senior Award, 4-time Athletic Big 12 Honor Roll, and with 2 NCAA Division 1 wrestling team titles. During dental school at the University of Oklahoma, Dr. Roberts found his passion for pediatrics during an externship at a pediatric dental office. The epiphany happened with a special needs child who had finally found someone to help her. He was then accepted into the Texas A&M University Health Science Center, Baylor College of Dentistry, Pediatric Dental Residency Program.  With the guidance of Dr. N. Sue Seale, Dr. Roberts completed the master’s program along with receiving his Pediatric Dental Certificate.

Following residency, he became an associate pediatric dentist in private practice and then passed his board certification. A year and a half later he opened his own practice in Tulsa. Dr. Roberts’ practice has grown to two locations, with multiple pediatric dentists and a board-certified orthodontist. He continues to grow his practice, providing a great environment for pediatric dentists, and chairs the annual weeklong CE ski meeting for the South-Western Society of Pediatric Dentists. He enjoys spending time with his kids, his wife, and doing mostly outdoor activities.
