Dr. Ryan Gerts

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, Dr. Gerts' heart was quickly stolen by the beautiful city of Winona, Minnesota during his undergraduate years at Winona State University. During his time at Winona State, Dr. Gerts was part of the Winona State Warrior football team and had the distinct honor of being named Captain. He also met his wife, Kait, who is also a Winona State Alumini. Winona means so much to the Gerts family, that the two decided to come back to be married in Winona while Dr. Gerts was in dental school, despite living 4 hours away in Illinois! Since moving back to Winona, Dr. Ryan and Kait have started a family and have two beautiful boys, Kieran and Merrick.

Dr. Ryan's passion for life-changing dentistry started well before he was even a licensed dentist. On top of the rigorous responsibilities of a dental school curriculum, Dr. Gerts spent countless hours voluntarily researching and taking continuing education courses on advanced topics such as digital smile and surgical guide design.

That passion for learning only increased after graduating from Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine. In that time he has accumulated nearly 500 hours of continuing education related to implants, sedation, and advanced bone grafting techniques. Dr. Gerts is not only focused on the quantity of his training, but also the quality. Dr. Gerts has traveled thousands of miles to learn from global experts to ensure his patients are receiving the best possible care in one location.

In addition to Dr. Ryan's advanced training, he is continuously investing in cutting edge technology for Winona Dental Implant Center. By utilizing 3D surgical and prosthetic planning software with the aid of Intra-Oral and facial scanning, this helps ensure the most functional and esthetic outcome as well as faster recovery for his patients.
