Our Story

Our journey began when Dr. Fred Ruder graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1981. With over 35 years of experience, Dr. Ruder has built a reputation for providing quality dental care in the Panhandle area. His commitment to excellence has earned him membership in the American Dental Association and the Florida Dental Association. Dr. Ruder's love for his work is reflected in his dedication to his patients and his family. Outside of the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife, traveling, tennis, pickleball, swimming, and cooking.

Dr. Ross Ruder, Dr. Ruder's son, joined the practice in 2018. Not only did he inherit his father's passion for dentistry, but he also brings his own unique skills and expertise to the table. Dr. Ross excels in comprehension, cosmetics, and implant dentistry. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his husband, Sam, a physical therapist, and their fluffy Samoyed fur baby, Puff, who loves visiting the office.
