Full dental care for every stage of life.
From a child's first check-up to complex restorative work, Lally Dental covers the full range of general and cosmetic dentistry — delivered by dentists who take time with their patients.
Prevention first — catching problems early
Our general dentistry service is built around thoroughness. Regular check-ups are the most cost-effective dental investment you can make, and our team takes time to look properly and explain what they find without pressure or upselling.
- Full dental examinations & digital X-rays
- Professional scale & polish (hygiene appointments)
- Tooth-coloured composite fillings
- Extractions — simple and surgical
- PRSI and medical card treatments
A smile you're confident in
Cosmetic dentistry doesn't have to be dramatic. Sometimes it's a whitening treatment or a small chip repaired. We take a conservative approach — doing what's genuinely needed to get the result you want, without over-treating.
- Professional teeth whitening (take-home trays)
- Composite bonding — chip and gap repair
- Tooth-coloured veneers
- Crowns and bridges
- Smile assessment consultation
Replace missing teeth permanently
A dental implant is the closest thing to a natural tooth. It looks, feels, and functions identically — and with proper care, it can last a lifetime. We assess suitability at your consultation and walk you through the full process before you commit to anything.
- Single tooth implant placement
- Implant-supported bridges
- Bone assessment and treatment planning
- Full implant procedure from assessment to crown
- Free implant consultation for new patients
Dental pain doesn't wait — neither should you
We keep space in the diary for urgent cases and aim to see emergency patients the same day wherever possible. If you're in pain, call us first thing in the morning and we'll do everything we can to get you seen quickly.
- Same-day emergency appointments (subject to availability)
- Severe toothache and dental abscesses
- Chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
- Lost fillings and broken crowns
- Swelling and post-extraction problems
Gentle, patient care from the very first visit
We see young patients from their first tooth. Our approach is calm and unhurried — we prioritise building trust with children so that dentistry doesn't become something they dread. Medical card and PRSI are accepted for eligible children.
- First dental visits from age 1–2
- Fissure sealants to protect back teeth
- Fluoride treatments and oral hygiene advice
- Medical card accepted for children
- Calm, child-friendly environment
A Galway dental practice built on continuity and trust.
Lally Dental is a family dental practice based at Ground Floor, Steamship House, Dock Street — in the heart of Galway city. The practice has served Galway patients across generations, with Dr Andrew Lally and Dr Conor Lally providing a combined depth of experience that's rare in any city-centre practice.
Both dentists are registered with the Irish Dental Council and committed to staying current through ongoing professional development. The practice accepts PRSI and medical card patients and keeps a patient list that values long-term relationships over high-volume throughput.
Whether you're a new patient looking to register or someone who's been coming to us for years, you'll be seen by a dentist who knows their patients by name and takes the time to explain your options properly.
Our approach
Serving Galway city and county
Our Dock Street location is convenient for patients from right across the Galway area.
Only 3 Google reviews — despite a full patient list.
Lally Dental has 3 Google reviews. Not because patients are unhappy — because no one has ever had a system to ask them. Every day, new patients searching for a Galway dentist choose a competitor with 80+ reviews over a practice with 3.
When someone searches "dentist Galway city centre" or "dentist Dock Street Galway," the practices with the most reviews and a professional website consistently rank higher and get chosen more often — regardless of how long they've been open. That gap is entirely closable.
SiteLift builds a professional website and sets up a done-for-you Google review system — sending a short follow-up to patients after each appointment asking them to share their experience. Most practices collect 20+ reviews within 60 days. Monthly fee, no annual contract.
