Meet The Team
Dr. Ryan Haldeman
Dr. Ryan grew up in a small farm community in Iowa. It was there he learned family values, community commitment, and the ethics of hard work. He obtained a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in psychology from the University of Iowa and then continued with dental school in Iowa City where he earned a Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) degree. Dr. Ryan then moved to Chapel Hill, NC, where he studied to earn a Masters (M.S.) degree in Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry. Following his long education journey, he moved to Asheville, NC, where he has practiced for over twenty years. He loves the challenge of treatment planning each orthodontic case and then seeing the results, amazing smiles, and even sometimes tears of joy at the end of treatment. When not straightening teeth, Dr. Ryan loves spending time with his family and friends, traveling, reading, and even playing a few rounds of golf.

Reviews
"Dr. Haldeman is the B-E-S-T! He really listened to my kids and mine concerns and came up with a great plan for braces. I liked that I could make payments and did not have to come up with all the money ahead of time for my 3 kids."

"If you are looking for a doctor that gives his time and attention to detail providing excellence in his patients care and investing in the families and community…Dr Ryan is the one! He truly cares and it shows!"

"Dr. Ryan is one of the best orthodontist around. He treated both of my children and a myself. He cares about his patients and He would talk to my children about school , sports, prom , something they had done or was going to do. He will always remembered and ask them about it at their next appointment. Dr Ryan was never too busy to sit and explain what my children needed or explain to them how it would be done, best chair side manners ever. I would most definitely 100% recommend Dr. Ryan and his staff for children or adult braces."
Becky S. | Feb 2025
"I would recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone and everyone! From the initial consultation, throughout treatment, and retainer checks at the end - He was very thorough and made sure I understood my treatment plan. Dr. Ryan and his assistant, Heather, are both very warm/inviting and make you feel like family from the very first visit. Plus they are very knowledgeable and helped me create a smile I am proud of!"
Miranda L. | Feb 2025
