Meet The Doctor

Dr. Ryan Galligan, DDS

Dr. Galligan believes that everyone deserves a healthy and attractive smile, and his private practice can provide you with exactly that. Focusing on minimally invasive dentistry, Dr. Galligan puts a premium value on dental education and prevention, and he is willing to go the extra mile to make sure his patients have the information to keep their smiles looking their best.

A native North Carolinian, Dr. Galligan received his undergraduate degree with honors from North Carolina State University in Raleigh and went on to attend the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. Having lived in the Raleigh area resident for the last 12 years, Dr. Galligan is thrilled to serve north Raleigh, Wake Forest, and the surrounding areas.

In addition to his continuing education and training, Dr. Galligan is interested in science, technology, the great outdoors, and many sports. He has a loving wife, Victoria, a toddler son, Gavin, and a baby girl, Avery. He feels truly blessed with a loving and growing family. In their free time, the Galligans enjoy exploring and vacationing in the North Carolina mountains and beaches. Dr. Galligan’s greatest ambition is to one day explore the great outdoors with his children.

"The smile is the window to the soul,” is Dr. Galligan’s guiding philosophy in his practice. He looks forward to creating your dream smile.
