Meet This Dentist With a Passion for Excellence

Dr. Murray earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biomedical science at Texas A&M University in College Station. While enrolled there she did research on Purkinje fibers in the brain and fell in love with strong evidenced-based medical research. She has used this commitment to an evidence-based approach throughout her dental career.

Dr. Murray worked in dental and medical offices prior to deciding she wanted to apply to dental school. She attended the prestigious Baylor College of Dentistry at the Texas A&M Health Science Center and earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery there in 2013.

She completed further education in medical emergencies and sedation at The University of Alabama-Birmingham. She maintains her sedation, basic life support (BLS), and advanced cardiothoracic life support (ACLS) certifications in addition to the required continuing education.

Throughout Dr. Murray’s education, cosmetic dentistry was a central focus, although she excelled in all areas. In fact, Dr. Murray won various art awards at a young age, which attests to her eye for detail and delicate hand skills. Driven by her passions for art, science, and helping people naturally, cosmetic dentistry became a passion for her.

With her eye for aesthetic detail and knowledge of facial anatomy, Dr. Murray has completed thousands of successful facial cosmetic injections and Botox® cases, with a focus on Botox for clenching, grinding, and TMJ. She is also experienced in using sleep apnea appliances to extend life expectancy as well as quality of life and Invisalign to enhance the appearance of patients’ smiles.
