Scheduling & Appointments

Convenient Scheduling and Personalized Care



Dental Appointments

At Galligan Family Dentistry, how we schedule reflects how we practice. We believe dental care should feel calm, organized, and respectful of your time. That is why we intentionally structure our schedule to avoid overbooking.

We do not double or triple book patients. Your appointment time is reserved specifically for you, allowing us to provide focused, attentive care without rushing or distractions.

Our goal is simple: when you are here, you have our full attention.


Booking an Appointment

Whether you are scheduling a routine cleaning and exam, or a restorative treatment, our team works to find appointment times that fit your schedule while allowing appropriate time for care.

We routinely schedule:

  • Preventive cleanings and exams
  • Periodontal maintenance
  • Restorative treatments
  • Cosmetic consultations
  • Pediatric visits

When treatment plans require multiple visits, we help structure those appointments in a thoughtful, manageable way that works for your calendar and your goals.


Scheduling for Families

As a family-centered practice, we often schedule multiple family members on the same day. Whenever possible, we coordinate appointments to make visits efficient for parents and caregivers.

For larger blocks of time, extended appointments, or multiple family members scheduled together, appointment deposits may be required. This helps ensure that reserved time is honored and that we can continue to offer flexible scheduling for all patients.

Our goal is to make family scheduling simple without compromising the quality of care.


Same-Day and Emergency Appointments

If you are experiencing discomfort or have an urgent concern, we encourage you to call our office. We will do our best to accommodate you the same day if possible.

For patients of record experiencing an emergency outside of normal business hours, Dr. Scanlan is always just a phone call away.

If you are new to the area or looking for a long-term dental home, we welcome you to schedule a new patient visit so we can get to know you and fully address your concerns.


Appointment Policies

Your appointment time and treatment room are reserved specifically for you. We kindly request at least 24 business hours notice if you need to reschedule or cancel. Appointments cancelled without appropriate notice may be subject to a cancellation fee.

For longer appointments or multi-family scheduling, advance deposits may apply. These policies allow us to maintain a balanced schedule, minimize last-minute gaps, and continue offering timely appointments for all patients.


A Better Scheduling Experience

Because we are not structured like high-volume corporate practices, our schedule is designed around care, not quotas. Our six-operatory layout allows us to keep the office flowing smoothly while maintaining a comfortable pace for both patients and staff.

You should never feel rushed, crowded, or processed. You should feel heard, cared for, and respected.

If you are ready to schedule your next visit, give us a call, send us an email, or use the contact form below. We look forward to seeing you soon.
