DR. LUIS GALVAN
SAN ANTONIO GENERAL DENTIST
"I believe everyone deserves a beautiful smile, not just the privileged few. Every day you spend without a smile, a day is lost"
EDUCATION
After graduating Suma Cum Laude with his dental degree from UNITEC University in 1994, Dr. Luis Galvan opened his first dental practice – while also advancing his dental education. He has completed a General Practice Residency (GPR) in Dental Obstetrics and an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). Dr. Galvan’s dedication to helping people enjoy the benefits of a beautiful and healthy smile then had him pursuing dental laboratory and technology training. By the end of his formal education, Dr. Galvan had opened three busy dental practices and a commercial dental laboratory – ensuring that his high expectations for patient care were met with excellence.
Believing that continuing education helps him bring you the best evidence-based options for your care, Dr. Galvan has participated in significant additional dental implant training, including placement, esthetics, materials, and infection control.
In 2010 Dr. Galvan obtained his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree, graduating Suma Cum Laude from UT Health San Antonio. Then, in 2011 he partnered with one of the busiest dental implant clinics in San Antonio – and has placed more than 17,000 dental implants to help people smile with confidence while also enjoying excellent oral health. He is fluent in English, Spanish, and French.
PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
Dr. Galvan is dedicated to helping people and it shows. His patients love Dr. Galvan’s patient, caring, thorough, and dedicated attention to their needs. From the simplest cosmetic enhancement to the most complex full-mouth restoration, Dr. Galvan is committed to helping everyone under his care achieve all they desire for a brighter, happier smile. To this end, Dr. Galvan provides a full range of services all under one roof, so you don’t need to several offices for your dental care. Single or multiple dental implants, implant-supported dentures, overdentures, tissue grafts, bone grafts, crown & bridge treatment, orthodontics, and endodontic surgery are just a few of the options he provides for the health of your smile … all with the level of sedation that is medically right for you.
AWAY FROM DENTISTRY
When not helping others, Dr. Galvan enjoys traveling as well as many hobbies and activities around the San Antonio area. Scuba diving, karate, rowing, and flying planes are just a few of the activities he pursues when he is not creating beautiful, healthy smiles.
