Meet Dr. Ryan Plewe

He brings that same commitment to every patient at Smile Island Dental Group, offering expert care and personal support through each step of the orthodontic journey.

Outside of the Office
Dr. Ryan and his wife have been married for over 13 years and are the proud parents of three children: Justin, Garrett, and Heidi. Family is at the center of everything he does.
When he’s not in the office, you can find him cheering on the Utah Jazz or U of U football team, catching a baseball game, or enjoying time outdoors. He loves skiing, hiking, golfing, fishing, and taking family trips to the beach—especially when there’s a new place to explore.
