Veteran-owned. Family-focused. Built on service.
Finding a dentist you can trust with your whole family is not always easy. Patients want someone with the training to handle complex care, the temperament to make them feel at ease, and the integrity to tell them exactly what they need — without pressure or unnecessary treatment. Those qualities do not come from a wall of diplomas alone. They come from years of real-world experience treating real patients in demanding environments.
At Designing Smiles in Westchase, Dr. Ryan Rose brings that kind of background to every appointment. A Florida native with over a decade of clinical experience, Dr. Rose’s academic and clinical training includes:
Beyond the classroom, Dr. Rose’s career was shaped by service. He accepted a commission with the United States Army, completing tours as an AEGD resident at Ft. Jackson, Officer in Charge at the U.S. Army War College Dental Clinic, and staff dentist for the 7th Special Forces Group. He earned multiple distinctions during his service, including the coveted Expert Field Medical Badge, and was honored as Officer of the Year by the Region Health Command Atlantic Region. Today, he continues to serve as a reservist with the 7222 Medical Support Unit in Tampa.
Dr. Rose is a proud father of three. He enjoys working out, outdoor adventures, attending sporting events, traveling, and spending time with his family.


Dr. Rose’s philosophy
Dr. Rose does not believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry. If a patient wants a full smile makeover, he delivers a plan for a full smile makeover. If a patient wants two cleanings a year and nothing more, he respects that too. There is no high-pressure sales, no upselling treatment patients are not ready for, and no corporate quota to fill.
One of the defining advantages of choosing Designing Smiles is the breadth of care Dr. Rose is trained to provide in a single location. Patients do not have to navigate referrals or coordinate between multiple offices for common procedures. His clinical range includes services across all phases of dental care:
Whether you are exploring cosmetic dentistry for the first time or need advanced restorative care, you can receive treatment from the same dentist who knows your full history.
