Drs. Galligan & Villa Dental Studio

Fantastic experience: I moved and it’s 100 miles round trip , and still go to Dr Galligans office! I have been a pt probably around 30 plus years. Staff are very pleasant helpful and very professional. Today’s procedure while unpleasant was done quickly, gently and no pain!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Great staff. Nice waiting area.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient for 30+ years. I would not go to any other dentist than Dr. Galligan.

Fantastic experience: I’m a total baby when it comes to dental work, but Dr Ryan and staff took incredible care of me. They were patient, kind, and went above and beyond their normal duties to make sure I felt comfortable and calm. Dr Ryan even called me the next day to check up on me.

Fantastic experience: The whole staff are so caring. My hygienist Anita was so gentle and compassionate. She explains to you everything that she's going to do before she does it. Dr. Thomas J. Galligan is outstanding Dentist and is very through. I highly recommend the dental office. My Visit on Monday December 15th 2025, was outstanding. From the front desk to Melinda the Dental Assistant she is always so caring and compassionate. She takes her time and explains everything that is going to happen before the Dentist comes in. She always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and keeps you calm. Dr. Thomas J. Galligan is the best Dentist ever. He explains everything that he is going to do. He is so gentle and caring when he is working on your teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Thomas J. Galligan and the other Dentist's and their staff to go to.

Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office were courteous, welcoming and professional. Dr. Galligan was extremely thorough, understanding and patient when asked numerous questions. He did not rush through the examination and took additional time to further clarify the upcoming procedures. Totally recommend

Fantastic experience: I called and was given an appointment for the same day. In at noon out by 12:46. X-rays and a deep cleaning that removed some black stains on my teeth. The hygienist and dentist were so nice and explained everything for me. I was given an appointment for follow up work and a breakdown of what my benefits covered versus my out of pocket costs. Within 46 minutes! This is definitely my new dentist on the island. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Honestly, you can't find any better. The office takes care of not only me, but my husband and our seven children. Fantastic staff and Dr. Pepe is the absolute best. Feel so blessed to have such a great group of people taking care of us!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to dr galligan for close to 20 yrs. I trust him and love his bedside manner, caring, cheerful, genuine, kind. I hope he never retires. The staff has always been top notch.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I travel all the way from Waretown nj to come to Dr Ryan Galligan. He is worth the trip. He is such a compassionate man combined with perfectionism in his craft. He explains everything as he is working on your teeth which really helps to eliminate the usual anxiety that can occur during dental visits. His staff is also wonderful. Together they all make you feel like family. I cannot say enough good things about this dental practice.

Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr. Villa & Galligan for over 30 years! Need I say any more. They are the top of their field, and the office staff reflects that excellence.

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but great things to say about this dental office. I first came in April 2025 with severe wisdom-tooth pain and was able to get a next-day appointment with Dr. Pepe. He was fantastic—honest, professional, and thorough in answering all my questions. I later joined their dental savings program, which is affordable for anyone without insurance and includes two cleanings and X-rays for $450. Every visit since has been just as positive. My most recent cleaning was with hygienist Anita, and it was the most thorough cleaning I’ve had in my 30 years. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her patients. Highly recommend this office!

Fantastic experience: It's always a pleasure. No matter what procedure i am getting done i know i am in good hands. Never feel any pain and feel like my comfort and well being is always first priority when i am there. Thats why i do not mind traveling all the way from Queens. Its worth every mile and every penny.

Fantastic experience: For most of my life I have despised Dental Visits. When I arrived to Dr. Galligans office there was a sense of professionalism and cleanliness. Dr. Peppie was the doctor that provided the care and dental work. He was outstanding! He guided me, let me know what he was doing, was not aggressive and very knowledgeable. I was not only comforted, but received work on two teeth and made it through it all with his guidance. Great place for persons who don’t like to visit the Dentist - the compassion care made all the difference.

Fantastic experience: It’s not often when you are in a situation where you need immediate attention for an emergency but Galligan and Villa dental studio came to the rescue without hesitation. I feel lucky to have them on my side!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Peppe and his team are very kind, professional and gentle! Best experience at a dentist and my only to go dentist from now on.

Fantastic experience: Their rating is well deserved. Went in with an partially chipped tooth and i cant even tell which tooth it was now… Thank you Dr. Pepe Like no kidding, dentists at other clinics told me I would need more work and gave a "cleaning" that was unnoticeable but here.. not only did Dr. Pepe tell me we could just do a filling. He also spent the time and focus to get my fillings done perfectly. It was some quality work!

Fantastic experience: Dr Galligan is great and his office help go out of the way for you I been going to him for over 35 years and would not change

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr Galligan for 40+ years and I trust him completely. He is our family dentist and I highly recommend him. I travel a distance to see him & always keep my appointments. His office staff are very friendly and professional. They have a winning combination…. Good team and I have been going to Dr Galligan for 40+ years and I trust him completely. He is our family dentist and I highly recommend him. I travel a distance to see him & always keep my appointments.

Fantastic experience: Great staff. So Compassionate love you Dr.TJ Gallagan

Fantastic experience: My regular exams and cleanings are always done professionally and on time. The staff is great and always very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I've been a patient of TJ for almost 40 years. In all that time I've found him to be an amazing doctor, compassionate, caring, as well as considerate to my situation. Now, his son Ryan looks like he's following in his dad's footsteps. He's excellent, knows his stuff, and along with his knowledge is just as caring and compassionate. I live in NJ where I can go see another dentist but I'll continue to go to Galligan and Villa.

Fantastic experience: I Have been a patient for many years and have never been disappointed in their knowledge and service. Everyone is so professional but most of all friendly. Drs. TJ and his son Ryan Galligan and Dr Gerard Villa are one of the finest, modern and up to date dental practices around. Any concerns are always addressed immediately. Thank you for helping me in maintaining good dental health for so many years.

Fantastic experience: Always a great experience with the Drs. and staff every time I go there for a checkup and cleaning. They’re patient with my questions (not always related to dentistry, mostly sports, lol) and do a superlative job keeping my teeth and gums healthy, especially at the age of 72yrs. Once again a special shout out to Gabby, thank you! :- )

Fantastic experience: From the minute I walked in I felt confident that I was in good hands. The whole staff was polite and knowledgeable. Dr Galligan explained exactly what he was going to do and I understood the whole plan to give me what I Wanted.

Fantastic experience: Every experience at Dr. Galligan’s office is top notch. This time I had a cleaning and panoramic X-ray with Stephanie and met with Dr. Ryan Galligan regarding my continued care and he interpreted my X-ray. Excellent care by these professionals! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: My family and I have been patients since1986. Drs Galligan and Villa are caring, professional and courteous. They explain everything and put you at ease. I look forward to my dentist visits. Their staff is equally courteous and professional. The appointment scheduling is very efficient. If you are on time for your appointment, you’ll be in and out in a timely manner.

Fantastic experience: Always a pleasant experience with this staff. Coming from someone who has had only terrible experiences in the past and lost faith in going to a dentist. I am now able to care for my teeth without the anxiety.

Fantastic experience: Service is always top notch . Been going to this practice forever . Dr Pepe was awesome. Excellent bed side manners .

Fantastic experience: Drs Galligan, Dr Villa and staff are the best in the business. They're always friendly, thoughtful and helpful and you always feel welcomed! Highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a dentist!

Fantastic experience: Dr Pepe is amazing. I got an unexpected problem with tooth #2. I went to many dentists in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Staten Island. And all of them wanted to do a root canal with a crown. But I didn’t believe I need it. I didn’t want to kill my tooth with no reason. Dr Pepe saved my tooth with just a filling. All my roots are live and the tooth is not destroyed. 6 months passed since that: no pain, cold/hot is ok, pressure is ok, no sensitivity. I am very glad I didn’t give up and finally found Dr Pepe. P.S. Worthless to say that all my family members go to Dr Pepe only.

Fantastic experience: This is a terrific dental office. Everybody who works there is super pleasant. Appointments are always taken on time; the hygienists are wonderful. The dentists are really great - I have worked with four of them through the years. They have all been kind, sensitive, caring, accessible and most importantly super competent. I used another dental office for 20 years until my dentist retired and I am super glad that he did. This is a modern next level office with consummate highly trained professionals from start to finish. Highest rating.

Fantastic experience: Overall excellent experience. Thorough care by the dentists and assistants. Dr. Lafferty is very supportive and helpful. I am Happy I made the switch!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff all around and very professional.They explained everything I asked in full detail. I left there with no questions and very happy.

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and Dr Galligan is a caring and efficient dentist who you can trust with you dental care.

Fantastic experience: Professional and Excellent work. The staff knows what they doing, everyone is on point. If you have an appointment and you showing up on time they won't make you wait like other places do, they will also call you a few days before your appointment to remind you that you have an appointment scheduled. They treat you like their own family member. Place is very clean and very organized. There is also parking in the rear which makes it very convenient for you. I highly recommend you visiting it.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Ryan Galligan has been my mother's dentist for years now. Today's visit was an extremely important one. Doctor Galligan and his staff were welcoming, as always. They showed concern, compassion, and professionalism at every turn. Doctor Galligan may just be the most talented dentist in this region. He was ready to handle my mother's issue immediately without wasting time. It is an hour and a half after her procedure, and she is not experiencing any pain. Thank you Doctor "Ryan" for calming us in the wake of a lot going on. You are appreciated beyond words...

Fantastic experience: I cannot express how happy I am with the work I had done today by Dr. Lafferty and staff.. I came in with an emergency… a cracked tooth.. she put in a beautiful temporary with no pain at all! I am so very grateful!! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Camille so much for taking the time gentle and through cleaning. My teeth feel so fresh!!! I truly appreciate it very much. I look forward to my next visit with you.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been to a dentist’s office where the energy felt this good! The staff here are so friendly, professional, and genuinely seem to love what they do. You can tell they value every patient and take real pride in their work. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming — it actually makes going to the dentist enjoyable. My Invisalign results have been amazing so far, and even though I travel a good distance to get here, it’s absolutely worth it. I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Fantastic experience: Everything was great. Brittany did an excellent job in cleaning my teeth.

Fantastic experience: When ever I call they make sure I get an appointment right away with no wait. The staff is very friendly and always goes above and beyond. Doctor Pepe is the best doctor, always very professional and always makes me feel comfortable when ever I go in with pain. He walks me through exactly what he's going to do and makes sure I'm not in any pain during the procedure. I wouldn't go anywhere else for dental issues.⁶

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to many dentists during my lifetime, and no practice compares to the practice of Drs. Galligan & Villa. The entire team is exceptionally professional, friendly, efficient, and great at what they do. I schedule my appointments throughout the year with my two young girls, and we never have any delays or issues. The kids do not dread going to the dentist, and in fact, they don’t even flinch while we’re there either. Just great people across the board.

Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office was great and the Dentist was very nice, helpful and thorough! My experience was beyond expectation and would highly recommend to all especially anyone who is skeptical in finding a dentist and staff who truly cares which they all do! Madison who cleaned my teeth was exceptional!!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Drs. Galligan & Villa for a long time. Everyone is always pleasant and helpful. Today, I was there for a cleaning. My hygienist was Stephanie.

I feel the staff is invested in me - my dental health and my comfort.

Fantastic experience: Always a very positive and pleasant experience during my visits. Dr. Ryan is great at making sure you are relaxed, and he explains and educates you on any treatment he does. Top class!

Fantastic experience: Since losing my dental insurance when I retired I tried other dentists but was never fully satisfied so when I had problems this time I came back to Dr. Ryan. I’m so happy I did. Not only is he so personable but his staff is friendly and very helpful especially since I signed up on a new plan through Dental Plans. I’m back for good. Thanks for opening my eyes.

Fantastic experience: The hygienist was new for me and she was polite and careful to ensure that I was comfortable. Very nice personality.

Fantastic experience: Gabby is the best! The entire office is so pleasant and they make everything so easy and everyone is so polite, friendly and helpful. I have never ever been to a dentist office with such great people

Fantastic experience: While I haven’t had many dentists in my life, I’d go as far as to date someone to find a better office than this. All of the dentists are masters of their craft. The technicians & assistants couldn’t be nicer & more professional. You know you’re in the best hands. Dr Villa is my guy, best of the best.

Fantastic experience: Returning to dental care after being away for so long is scary in itself, however, this practice really rolled out the red carpet treatment and left me feeling at ease and re-engaged. So happy I decided to take the first step.

Fantastic experience: Dr Ryan is the best as always. Having been to the dentist far more often than anyone would like over the last 25 years, I can't say enough about how great my experience with Dr Ryan and his staff have been. He is a master at his craft and also has the best bed side manner. He always lays out every option meticulously, giving pros and cons of each decision. Only gave him 5 stars because the reviews don't go up to a million.

Fantastic experience: Great first dental checkup with Stephanie the dental hygienist and Dr Lafferty. Highly recommend this team.

Fantastic experience: I went to see Dr Kaitlyn Lafferty at this practice and she was fantastic. I was complaining of tooth pain and she took care of my problem. She was very knowledgeable and a sweet young lady. I would recommend her

Fantastic experience: Last week I felt some pain in my tooth and reached out as a new patient to see if they could bump up my cleaning appt. The office was extremely accommodating and got me in the same day for a cleaning and a check up with Dr. Pepe. Corinne gave me a great cleaning and then Dr. Pepe walked me through needing a root canal. I was a bit nervous, but Dr. Pepe and all the staff were extremely calming and reassuring. I’m so glad I found this office!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing doctor and staff. I called for an emergency appointment and Dr. Lafferty was able to put me on the schedule. After being evaluated I needed to have a root canal done. She offered to start it immediately or to come back on Wednesday because she seen how nervous I was.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Dr’s Galligan, Villa, and the whole team for almost 15 years, and I have never had anything less than a superior experience! I make a long trek to G&V, but my whole family has been coming here for years, and that’s not about to change. I never ask for a specific dentist or hygienist because I know every professional in this practice is exceptional. Dr. TJ specifically is absolutely off the charts! I went to him when I’ve had some more serious issues and you could not ask for a more compassionate, personable, and expert job done. I’ve had some nightmare experiences and bad work done with other practices in years past, but Dr. Galligan was able to fix everything up 1-2-3. I couldn’t recommend a better dental practice to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Amazing staff wonderful doctor, he explained everything thoroughly clean my teeth and made sure to answer all my questions. First time i truly experienced such a wonderful dentist office, everyone from the receptionist to the doctor are amazing.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Villa is the best. He has saved many of my teeth. He’s been my dentist for about 35 years. I’ve used Dr. Galligan and Dr. Ryan as well. Excellent. That office is truly the best. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Literally the best dentist office ever! Every single person, from the front desk to hygienists, are kind, professional and knowledgeable. I couldn't recommend Dr. Galligan & Villa more!

Fantastic experience: The entire staff is both accommodating & professional! Dr. Ryan Galligan is patient & thorough, and will explain everything you need to know about the procedure he performs. So happy that he came so highly recommended to me & I can see why...

Fantastic experience: I have been with Dr Galligan for over 25 yrs. He is a great dentist. He is kind, caring, takes time if you're nervous which I am. I have gotten better over the years as he know my pain level and does what he can to make it as easy as possible and he does. Definitely recommend him. I wouldn't have stay 25+ years if I didn't think he was doing what was best for me and my mouth

Fantastic experience: Recently had my first cleaning at Dr. Galligan’s office with Jamie, she was great and Dr. Pepe was terrific. Thank you!

Always precise on their scheduled appointments. I would recommend them to anyone searching for excellent dental service. The Khalifa's

Fantastic experience: Dr Perri did a root canal on me today! Absolutely, positively a great experience! He was very patient and listened to my concerns and then proceeded to do the root canal-WITHOUT PAIN! I’ve been going to this office for awhile now! Everyone is very attentive & understanding! You don’t have to be afraid anymore! ☮️✝️

Fantastic experience: Knowing my family and I were in a great dental practice for many years was never lost on me. The professionalism, cleanliness and efficiency of the office always made me glad this was the one I chose. Recently, however I had a dental emergency a mere twelve hours before an important family event I was hosting. I contacted the dental service who told me to hold on and Dr. Ryan Galligan immediately answered. We agreed to meet the following morning at sunrise to ensure there was enough time to accommodate my schedule. I will be forever grateful for his reassurance and kind demeanor. To say he saved the day is an understatement. I will continue to be this office's and Dr. Galligan's biggest fan.

Fantastic experience: I used to live on Staten Island and I moved to Texas. For over two years, I would fly back to see family every six months and I would have my teeth cleaned by Dr. Galligen or Dr. Villa. eventually, the trips started to extend out further, and I had to find a more local dentist. I thought of them because I just referred them to a friend who lives on Staten Island. Also, because recently I had to have a crown replaced that they had done nearly a decade to go. It was just time, but it Served me well. If you’re looking for a good dental office Then you found one. The dental assistants and hygienists are also fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Tara and Dr.Ryan were such a great duo together taking care of me. Tara is a great dental assistant, and Dr. Ryan did a great job making me feel comfortable!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pepe explained my situation thoroughly and Katie at the front desk was very helpful in getting the information needed from my periodontist. The office is state-of-the-art and very clean.

Fantastic experience: Excellent practice-all of the assistants and hygienists are so qualified and caring-Dr. Ryan Galligan is over-the-top qualified and a always on the cusp of technology and the most current techniques-I fully recommend this practice to everyone-there are no problems here-only solutions.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pepe is an outstanding dentist; painless too! His staff is polite & very accommodating. His Hygienists take time with their patients; never feel rushed EVER! Overall, we continue to always have a great experience.
