Dr. Murrell, a Medical College of Georgia dental graduate, was named to the peer-nominated topDentists list in Nashville Lifestyles in 2025 and 2026, and he volunteers with the Interfaith Dental Clinic. The practice sees children, teens and adults for cleanings, exams, periodontal care, fillings, crowns, implants and dentures, along with whitening, bonding, veneers and clear aligners.
