Dr. Ryan Ray Dela Cruz

General Dentist

Welcome to our practice!  

To share with you my treatment philosophy, my mission is to provide you with the highest quality of care using a gentle touch, while maintaining a conservative approach to meet all your dental needs.  I want to formally educate my patients on their oral health status, provide them with options for treatment, and allow them to make an informed decision based on a proposed treatment plan.  My patient becomes my top priority, and my primary goal is to restore and maintain optimal oral health.

Prior to becoming a dentist, I received my bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from University of California, Davis.  After working in the biotechnology field for several years, I then earned my DDS degree from the University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry, where I pursued my interest working with community service and public health.  At UCSF, I became highly involved serving as director for the Community Dental Clinic, a non-profit community service organization that provided dental services to underserved populations of the San Francisco/Bay area region.  In addition to working at our practice, I pursued my love for teaching by previously serving as an Assistant Clinical Professor at UCSF, where I mentored third and fourth year dental students as they worked on patients in a clinical setting.       

I believe dentistry is a lifelong learning opportunity.  I continue to stay up to date with the latest updates and technology advancements in dentistry through my involvement in continuing education courses and study clubs.  I am currently an active member in various professional organizations including the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Contra Costa Dental Society.  

I am happily married to my long-time college sweetheart, whom I am also fortunate enough to work alongside with as my dental partner in the practice.  As San Ramon residents, we love being part of such a wonderful community.  We are blessed with three beautiful children, Madison,  Preston, Braydon, and a dog named Max.  As a family, we enjoy traveling, spending time with our families, and staying active at our local church.

General Dentist

I am a proud native of the Bay Area.  Born in San Francisco and raised in San Mateo, I have always had a calling to serve people and care for others.  I learned at a young age what it means to serve with compassion.  I am truly humbled to find this calling through dentistry as a way to serve my patients and contributing to the improvement of their oral health.  

Prior to becoming a dentist, I received my bachelor's degree in Biology with an emphasis in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior from University of California, Davis.  I then earned my DDS degree from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry, where I pursued my interest working with community service.  I participated in mission trips under the Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA) , traveling to indigenous communities around the Philippines and providing essential healthcare services to those in need.   

My heart for service goes beyond dentistry.  I have been a part of the San Ramon community for over 15 years, providing care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  I find it truly rewarding to play a part in their progress toward gaining functional skills and capabilities.    

I continue to stay up to date with the latest dental techniques and technology through my involvement with continuing education.  I am currently an active member in various professional organizations including the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and Napa-Solano Dental Society.  

I feel fortunate to work with my husband as a dental partner in the practice.  We are blessed with our three children, Madison, Preston, and Braydon.  As a family, we enjoy traveling, exploring different parks around the community, and spending quality time together.  We welcome you to our practice and look forward to your visit with us.
