About The Buffalo Dentist
The Buffalo Dentist is a dental practice on Transit Road in Depew, New York. Sedation dentistry uses inhaled, oral, or intravenous options to help patients relax through treatment, ranging from nitrous oxide for mild anxiety through to deeper sedation for longer or more involved procedures. It is commonly used for patients who have avoided the dentist for years due to fear.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Awesome Service
Amazing. Dr. Gretchen and staff are awesome. Very caring and provide detailed, easy to understand treatment plan with estimated costs. Clean and modern office. They put me at ease since I have anxiety when in the dental office. Thank you
Great service. Dr. Ian, Melanie and Kiki resolved my issue quickly and painlessly. Thank you.
I love this dental office. Pristine yet welcoming with very helpful and friendly staff. Not even a blip on my Blood Pressure radar when it is dental visit time!
Hello Buffalo & WNY 🦬 ♥️ I’m a huge believer in promoting businesses that exceed my own expectations. I know many people don’t enjoy going to the dentist or hate having dental work done. I used to be that same person until I found a home with Dr. Gretchen Galvin, The Buffalo Dentist. I am currently in the process of receiving a whole Smile Makeover with Dr. Galvin. Prior to starting this journey, I researched every thing, everyone and every place I could about this process. I had my free consultation with The Buffalo Dentist in December 2025 and currently, I am well on my way to having the most beautiful smile that I thought I could only achieve in my dreams! Dr. Galvin and her whole team makes it feel like you’re “The Favorite Family Member At Thanksgiving Dinner.” The whole office and staff are incredibly welcoming and supportive. They make every visit feel like you have your own personal concierge tending to your every need. They offer free oral sedation with warm weighted blankets and bluetooth noise cancellation headphones, which is especially nice when you have to have any kind of invasive dental work. As a mom of 5 I fully appreciate the little extras that make my day at the dentist feel like a mini spa retreat. If you are unhappy with your dental care or just looking for a dentist office that makes your treatment easier and much more enjoyable then I absolutely recommend you give The Buffalo Dentist a call. They do everything there!!! From routine cleanings, fillings, extractions to Full Mouth Smile Makeovers. Dental work does not need to be feared when you’re at The Buffalo Dentist 😁
Went in today and the front desk staff was incredibly friendly, and the office was very clean. My dental assistant, who is always bubbly and quirky, made me laugh and helped me feel comfortable as usual. The only downside was that the appointment ran longer than normal. After the cleaning was finished, we ended up waiting for a bit for the dentist to come in, which made the visit feel drawn out. Once she did come in, the check was very quick. My appointments are usually around 30 minutes, but today took closer to an hour. For that reason alone, I’m giving 4 out of 5 stars and hoping future visits move a little faster once the cleaning is done.
Staff was absolutely amazing!!!! Dr. Galvin was also amazing. She took her time with me and answered all of my questions. It was like I knew her and her staff for years! For me an answer to prayer! This was a great experience and I have quite a bit of work to get done and I actually look forward to it!!! 10 out of 10!!!
Excellent experience overall for my visit on 10/14. Danny did one of the most gentle cleanings that I've ever experienced. I literally felt nothing. She was very thorough and explained everything on the xray without having to ask and was easy to understand. The front desk staff was welcoming and patient while I filled out the forms. Dr. Galvin addressed my concerns and offered a solution to my problem. I would highly highly HIGHLY recommend this place. Thank you all!! You're great!
