This is the best dentist I have seen.
This is the best dentist I have seen. It didn't hurt when she did the cleaning. She is very knowledgeable and cares tremendously about teeth. She helped me develop a plan to cover the work for my whole mouth, which involves two extractions and implants, fillings, and a crown, prioritizing the most important work first, and the rest as I can afford. I feel very comfortable getting this work done with her and have no reservations about my treatment. - Mike C

I enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Murphy!
I enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Murphy! She and her entire team were friendly, personal and informative. Dr. Murphy took the time to explain how I can use better and different techniques to improve my oral health. - Nicole S

I would highly recommended them to anyone in Bozeman.
I recently started seeing Dr Murphy and her team and I have nothing to say but all positive things to say. I have extreme dental anxiety, and the first appointment Dr Murphy spent what felt like hours going over all of my history and came up with a solid treatment plan. Not once did I feel embarrassed or uncomfortable with the treatment plan. Dr Murphy took the time throughly explain all my treatment options and timeframes. When I came back for a procedure she was extremely informative and explained everything that was going on to ease my nerves. It’s not like a regular dentist office where the dentist goes ahead and digs in your mouth and you kind of wait there in pain, I’ve always felt like a had a decision in my treatment and if anything was uncomfortable we talked through it. Her dental assistant Presley is always great to speak with to calm the nerves before a procedure, and Annie is always a welcoming face to see. I would highly recommended them to anyone in Bozeman.

If you’re anxious or need a longer visit, we offer safe sedation options to help you feel calm and comfortable.
We’ll discuss what works best for you so you feel in control the entire time.

We’ll build a plan that fits your goals so you can feel confident in your smile and your dental health.






If you feel anxious, have sensory sensitivities, or just don’t love the dentist, we get it. We’ll explain everything, check in with you often, and stop anytime you need a break. Just let us know, you’re in control.


My mission is to provide a comfortable, caring environment where you can expect to receive the most thorough and gentle care possible. I will take the time to learn what goals you wish to achieve, and we can also address any fear, guilt, or embarrassment you may be feeling that is preventing you from achieving those goals.
