Services
Galligan Family Dentistry is a true 'mom & pop' practice as Dr Galligan's wife and practice manager, Vicki, will warmly greet you each visit. Their two children, Gavin and Avery, are often working in the office and mingling with their friends after school and throughout the summers. Dr. Galligan feels truly blessed to have his loving family with him each day, building lasting relationships with his patient's families.
Whether seeking traditional teen braces, early interceptive care for your youth, Invisalign for your adolescent or self, orthodontic care is a core offering at Galligan Family Dentistry. Since inception of his practice, in 2006, Dr. Galligan has undergone extensive education and advanced training in orthodontics to meet the needs of his local community in providing the full complement of orthodontic treatments.
Whether learning about your child's orthodontic needs, stage of growth and development, or contemplating various treatment providers, Galligan Family Dentistry offers complementary, no-obligation orthodontic consultations to help you make the best decision for your child's orthodontic care.

Orthodontic consultations at Galligan Family Dentistry are unique in that Dr. Galligan reserves an unprecedented amount of time to meet with you for discussion of all aspects of your child's past and present orthodontic condition, stage of development, treatment options, and time needed to complete treatment.Administrative information, including financial plans and options, to assist your decision making are also reviewed at this visit.
Although many orthodontic malocclusion predictors are present as early as age 2, orthodontic problems of the developing permanent teeth, bite, and growing face are first formally evaluated around age 7, once the adult teeth begin to erupt.

Whether your child is on a growth path for an ideal bite and smile or needs early, interceptive care to steer growth, Dr. Galligan is able to evaluate your child's orthodontic condition at the earliest stages and at routine intervals.At Galligan Family Dentistry, our unique practice offerings of pediatric and orthodontic care allows us to assess and guide your child at the earliest and most ideal stages of growth and development.
Over the years, with more robust long-term studies, evolved technologies, including advanced materials and digital treatment guidance, orthodontic treatment appliances have progressed, and in some cases come full circle, to provide orthodontic patients with the most scientifically-grounded and technologically advanced methods available to date.

My wife and I experienced our 3rd appointment. Reception was organized and friendly during the C-19 pandemic. Our new dental assistant, Melissa, was friendly, efficient and prompt. Dr. Galligan was professional and attentive to questions. We'll continue to use these services and recommend this pleasant, yet competent office to others.

The vibe and atmosphere of this office is fantastic. I took my 2 year old in for his first dentist experience and he seemed very relaxed in the lobby and hallways. When we got in the room he got a little anxious with the equipment around, but not too bad. Dentist was wonderful! Very friendly. Explained everything we needed to know about my son’s teeth and what to expect as he gets older. Really the only thing that didn’t go well was seeing the dental assistant. She was practically head to toe in protective gear which made my toddler uncomfortable. Then she didn’t say much and talked very

The staff, dental hygienist, and doctor are all great. I told them I had much anxiety with dental work and they really walked me through each step and eased my mind. I would recommend highly.

My family and I have been going to Galligan Family dentistry for years. Dr. Galligan is the best dentist I have ever had- he is friendly, kind, informative, attentive, and always does a great job. The dental hygenists at the practice are also very kind and friendly and provide thorough cleanings with no discomfort. The waiting room and exam rooms are very clean, modern, and spacious. When I moved away for school, I went to a local dentist that recommended me thousands of dollars of unnecessary procedures and would not treat me until I had them done. Vicki (the practice manager) went above and beyond

Dr Galligan is the best! He does great work. His wife Vicky who manages the front desk is wonderful as well! All the staff is amazing! They really take the anxiety out of going to the dentist.
Been to a couple of big dentist groups that have multiple offices. You never know who is going to treat you. At Galligan Family Denistry, they are very personable and they really make you feel like you matter! So glad I was referred to them by a friend who is a patient there as well!

This was my first visit to Dr Galligan Family Dentistry. Just moved here from Florida and was looking for a new Dentist. I went in for a Comprehensive Exam. I also had Professional Deep Cleaning. Dr Galligan and his Staff are top notch and did an excellent job. Everyone there starting with Victoria and the other Ladies at the front desk make you feel at home. I would highly recommend this Dentistry.

Truly a family dentistry. Dr. Galligan and his wife, Vicki, are always caring and helpful. I have twin boys, both with braces, and they are coming along great. The rest of the staff is amazing as well. I like that they do everything, I don't have to hop around from orthodontist to a regular dentist. They take care of every dental need.
