Meet Our Dentist

At Pleasant Dentistry, your smile is in the hands of one of North Georgia’s most experienced and compassionate dentists. Dr. Stan Ryals has been practicing in Cumming for more than 30 years and is proud to carry on a legacy of care that began when the practice was founded in 1976.

Known for his gentle touch, advanced skill, and genuine relationships with patients, Dr. Ryals offers expertise across all areas of dentistry, including implants, cosmetic restorations, orthodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, and dentures. “I’ve always wanted people to look better when they walk out the door than when they came in,” says Dr. Ryals. “If you came in pain, you leave without it. That’s always been my goal.”

From children to grandparents, Dr. Ryals takes pride in serving generations of families who trust Pleasant Dentistry to keep their smiles healthy and confident for life.

This commitment to lifelong learning allows Dr. Ryals to deliver the highest level of care using the latest advancements in dental techniques and technology.

Outside the office, Dr. Ryals enjoys spending time outdoors — snow skiing, golfing, and hiking — and cherishes every opportunity to spend time with his family.
