Comprehensive, Aesthetic & Implant Dentistry in Greenwood Village
Meet Dr. Ryan Mickle: A Passion for Comprehensive, Patient-Centered Dentistry
For Dr. Ryan Mickle, great dentistry starts with understanding the patient in his chair and being able to offer a comprehensive approach to their care.
At Landmark Dental Studio in Greenwood Village, Dr. Mickle focuses on building long-term relationships with his patients, understanding their goals, and creating treatment plans designed around health, function, and aesthetics. From maintaining a healthy smile to replacing missing teeth or planning a comprehensive smile transformation, he believes dentistry should be thoughtful, collaborative, and built to last.
A Denver native, Dr. Mickle first became interested in healthcare through the example of his grandfather, an infectious disease physician, and his mother, a cardiac nurse. While attending Brigham Young University, mentorship from Dr. Matthews introduced him to dentistry and to something he found especially meaningful: the opportunity to combine healthcare, artistry, and lifelong relationships with patients.
"Building trusting and long-lasting relationships with my patients is a key component to providing the best possible care."
Advanced Aesthetic Dentistry: From NYU Training to Teaching Dentists Worldwide
Continuing education has been a defining part of Dr. Mickle’s career, with a particular focus on aesthetic, reconstructive, and implant dentistry.
Dr. Mickle’s commitment to advanced aesthetic dentistry began with his training in New York City under Dr. Larry Rosenthal, his mentor and one of the pioneers in aesthetic dentistry. Through Aesthetic Advantage, Dr. Mickle received extensive hands-on clinical education in smile design and aesthetic dentistry, including live-patient smile transformations at NYU.
Today, Dr. Mickle serves as an instructor with Aesthetic Advantage and is passionate about teaching other dentists the skills and artistry behind smile design and smile transformations. Each spring and fall, he returns to New York to teach with the Aesthetic Advantage program at NYU, working with doctors from around the world. Teaching also gives him the opportunity to continue learning, collaborating, and staying at the forefront of techniques in aesthetic dentistry while helping other dentists achieve exceptional outcomes for their patients.
Advanced Implant Training, Surgical Expertise & Full-Arch Restorations
Dr. Mickle’s commitment to comprehensive care extends into implant and surgical dentistry. He completed the Mastership Program through Implant Seminars under the mentorship of Dr. Arun Garg, gaining extensive hands-on experience in dental implantology, bone grafting, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), sinus grafting and augmentation, advanced surgical techniques, and the delivery and management of All-on-X implant cases.
This advanced surgical training allows Dr. Mickle to approach implant dentistry as part of the larger treatment plan—considering not only the replacement of missing teeth, but also function, aesthetics, supporting bone and tissue, and the long-term health of the patient.

Bringing these disciplines together allows him to look at the entire treatment—from comfort and function to health, aesthetics, and long-term outcomes—while providing more of a patient’s care within one trusted practice.
For Dr. Mickle, continuing education isn’t about collecting credentials. It’s about continually becoming a better clinician and delivering better outcomes for his patients.
A Patient-First Philosophy Built on Trust, Collaboration & Excellence
Dr. Mickle’s philosophy is simple: deliver excellent patient-centered care.
That starts with listening. He believes patients should understand their oral health, their options, and the reasoning behind the treatment he recommends. Modern dental technology and advanced techniques are important, but they are most valuable when they help provide better, more predictable care.
Dr. Mickle also believes great dentistry is a team effort. Landmark Dental Studio is built around collaboration between doctors, hygienists, assistants, specialists, and laboratory partners, all working toward the same goal: providing an exceptional patient experience and delivering dentistry the team can be proud of.

Beyond Dentistry: Family, Adventure & Life in Colorado
Outside the office, Dr. Mickle’s favorite role is being a husband and dad. He and his wife, Morgan, are high school sweethearts who met at Cherry Creek High School and now have three daughters: Caroline, Grace, and Sophia.
As a family, the Mickles love being outdoors—skiing, hiking, traveling, and spending time at their family ranch in southern Colorado.
For Dr. Mickle, those relationships are a reminder of what matters most in his practice: treating people well, earning trust over time, and taking care of patients the way he would want his own family to be cared for.
