Galgorm Dental & Implant Clinic

General, Cosmetic, Restorative & Implant Dentistry | Ballymena, County Antrim

Galgorm Dental & Implant Clinic is a private dental practice based in the grounds of Galgorm Castle in Ballymena, offering general, cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry in a calm, modern setting. The clinic combines routine dental care with more advanced treatments for patients who want to restore missing teeth, improve their smile or manage more complex dental problems.

Galgorm Dental has a strong focus on implant dentistry. Dr Chris Gocher leads implant treatment and has extensive experience placing implants, while Dr Alan Crockett has a particular focus on digitally planned same-day and full-arch implant treatment. The clinic uses detailed assessment and digital planning to determine whether a patient is better suited to conventional staged implant treatment or immediate fixed-teeth options.

The cosmetic team offers both subtle and more comprehensive smile improvements. Treatments may involve bonding, whitening, veneers or Invisalign, with minimally invasive techniques used where appropriate. Dougie Thom, BDS, Dentist and Owner, has a particular interest in mini smile makeovers combining alignment, whitening and bonding.

Galgorm Dental focuses on creating a relaxed, supportive and highly personalised patient experience. The team takes time to understand each patient’s concerns, explain the available treatment options clearly and build a plan around their oral health, lifestyle and smile goals. Whether the patient is attending for routine care, cosmetic treatment or more complex implant dentistry, the emphasis is on careful planning, patient comfort and achieving results that are both functional and natural-looking.
