Meet Dr. Ryan Colaianni, your St. Augustine dentist

Dr. Ryan Colaianni, known to his patients as Dr. Ryan, brings a thoughtful and energetic approach to dentistry anchored in education, artistry, and connection. A graduate of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, he earned his DMD Cum Laude and is proudly affiliated with the American Dental Association. Before dental school, he completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Alabama (Roll Tide!) and a master’s in biomedical sciences at UCF.

Dr. Ryan's passion for dentistry began in high school after reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and being inspired by his stepfather, an endodontist. Dentistry ultimately blended his love for science, working with his hands, and the dream of building a brand rooted in excellence. With three years of experience and a heart for helping people feel understood and empowered, Dr. Ryan is excited to bring something special to St. Johns County.

A thoughtful team and calming experience await

At Lighthouse Dental Studio, patients are welcomed with warmth, kindness, and a team who genuinely enjoys working together. This positive energy is reflected in the way care is delivered: collaborative, patient-centered, and always focused on comfort and communication. While team member details are coming soon, the priorities are already clear: delivering high-quality dental care in a setting that makes guests feel relaxed and cared for.

The office was designed with your comfort in mind. TVs in treatment rooms, warm towels, infused water, headphones, and cozy blankets are just the beginning. Behind the scenes, advanced technology like electric handpieces and CBCT imaging ensures precision and a quieter, more seamless experience. It's modern dentistry with a premium touch, but without the pretense.

From preventative care to smile makeovers, your needs come first

Lighthouse Dental Studio offers comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry including cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, extractions, and same-day emergency visits. Patients interested in transforming their smiles can also schedule a free veneer consultation to explore cosmetic options with Dr. Ryan. These services aren’t just provided; they’re personalized to each person’s needs and lifestyle.

Dr. Ryan has a special passion for cosmetic dentistry, knowing firsthand the life-changing confidence that can come from a smile designed with intention. Whether it’s a comfortable routine cleaning or a complete cosmetic makeover, every treatment is guided by transparency, education, and genuine care. That’s what makes Lighthouse Dental Studio an exceptional home for your dental health.
