A reason to smile

When it comes to providing outstanding dentistry, Dr. John T. Murrell upholds a longstanding reputation for excellence. Practicing general dentistry in Mount Dora since 1982, he produces exceptional results in cosmetic, restorative and implant dentistry, using advanced technology to help patients achieve optimal dental health.

Dr. Murrell is a pioneer in relaxation dentistry, which allows patients who may otherwise avoid the dentist receive comprehensive dental care while relaxed, comfortable and safe. In many cases, patients who have postponed dental care for years because of anxiety, previous bad experiences or inability to take time for multiple appointments can undergo several procedures in a single, relaxing visit. Through the use of treatment phasing and creative fi nancing he and his staff are able to make ideal care available to most who make dental health a priority.

Explaining his philosophy, he says, “I understand that the health of your mouth can directly affect the health of your entire system. By taking a healthy mouth and body approach, we can be proactive in treating problems such as gum disease and tooth decay.” In partnership with the medical community, Dr. Murrell offers a dental approach to Obstructive Sleep Apnea, in many cases providing a more comfortable alternative to CPAP machines.

Dr. Murrell and his wife, Sue, are active in missions both abroad and in his community. “Our goal is to provide exceptional care with a personal touch. Taking care of this community both in my practice and in my volunteer work gives me a great deal of joy.”
