Dr. Murph has the advanced training and experience to handle essentially any dental procedure in one location. Whether you need a simple tooth cleaning or a complex tooth replacement surgery, we can meet your needs right here.
Our team at American Dental Care is proud to be part of the Conway community. In addition to providing our friends and neighbors with outstanding dental care every day, we reach out beyond our walls to make the world, in general, a better place to live. In fact, Dr. Murph created and leads a group that travels to Guatemala to give essential dental services to underserved populations. We are always looking for other ways that we can support the community and helpful organizations or events. Click below if you know of a cause that we should be involved in.
When Dr. Murph was a teenager, he went through a typical rite of passage for kids around his age getting braces. Unlike most other teens, though, this experience ignited a strong interest in the world of dentistry. He realized what a great profession it was right away and decided that it may be a good fit for him too. The rest, they say, is history!
Dr. Murph achieved his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Presbyterian College in Clinton, SC. From there, he went on to the Medical University of South Carolina, earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine. Since then, he has completed over 600 hours of continuing education courses, including state-of-the-art training in Trinon Dental Implants and orthodontics. He is also the owner of Dental Development Seminars, providing dedicated lectures and hands-on instruction in several countries across the world. He is currently a member of the American Dental Association and the South Carolina Dental Association.
When he isnt busy at the dental office, Dr. Murphs favorite hobbies include going on mission trips, playing chess, scuba diving, relaxing on cruises, and participating with the Boy Scouts of America. Heres an interesting fact about him: he can wiggle his ears!
If gum disease has advanced to the point where a routine cleaning wont resolve the problem, we will perform scaling and root planing. Scaling involves going beneath the gum surface to remove deep pockets of trapped plaque and bacteria. Then, we smooth out the rough surfaces on the tooth (root planing), helping with both gum tissue reattachment and protection against future reinfection. Depending on the severity of the infection, we may need to repeat these procedures about every three to four months until we are confident that the harmful bacteria are under control.
If gum disease is allowed to continue developing, the gums recede from the teeth, and the infection can spread to the bone and supporting tissues. As a result, teeth can become loose or even come out completely. To stabilize your teeth while we treat your gum disease, we may use a splint or a device that attaches weak teeth together. That way, they stay more firmly in place, and you can keep more of your natural smile intact.
In advanced periodontal disease, the jaw bone can become infected and weakened. In order to provide enough support for your teeth or even dental implants, this bone needs to be reinforced. Depending on the extent of the damage, Dr. Murph may recommend a bone graft, which is a common procedure that often needs to be completed before placing dental implants. The best part is that Dr. Murph has the necessary skills to perform bone grafts right here in our Conway dental office.

My Mother called me and said you are not going to believe what has happened to me.Her front tooth had broken to the gum.Yes front tooth.Her Dentist could not take her for a couple of weeks.Which is not the dentist she needs to say the least.I called American Dentist.And the sweetest lady answered my call just a wonderful lady.She said tell your Mother to come on in and we will take care of her.Well she arrived and Dr. Murph did an awesome job.She was happy which made me absolutely excited that I called this office.I really appreciate you both for all you did to make my Mother happy.If I could give more stars I would have.

Hello Doc and Team - I've been a dental office manager for over 34 years, and I have never been so inspired by a dentist whom I've never met! You and everyone who works with you is a rock star, and if you ever need another stellar front office person, please, let me know! Vicki :)

Kudos to you for your responses to these haters. I have been in the dental field for 25 years and you are responding exactly how most would like to, but don't, because they lack the balls to do so.

I just called the office and asked the woman who answered the phone if they accepted Medicaid Insurance.. Her reply was so rude and she said "No we don't take that and it's NOT INSURANCE" and hung up on me. Thanks but I will stay in pain before I go anywhere near this office - your past negative review responses only go to prove your unprofessionalism. If your looking for a dentist, go see Dr. Bond in Conway & forget about this place

Dr here doesn't care or slow down enough to even pretend to listen. I had a tooth extraction and have been in pain kept being told I was fine come to find out there's a piece of tooth and nerve in there causing the pain I have been experiencing. So I wouldn't recommend coming here this place is a joke.

I had fractured tooth and I had to get it taken out. I went by several dentist and none could take me. I stopped here and I explained what was going on and they took me immediately. X-rays, the procedure and all was done and didn't cost a lot compared to other places. And the dentist was "real" as in no sugarcoating of words and all. Made me feel like we knew each other for years. Have recommended American dental to a lot of people. Keep up the good work...

I've been in excruciating pain for the past couple of weeks. I called American Dental to see if they were accepting walk ins and they took me in right away. The staff were very accommodating and I left feeling a whole lot better than i did when i came in. Dr. Murph were hilarious and made sure I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely the WORST dental office! If we could give NO stars we absolutely would. They are extremely unprofessional!! The girls are rude and have no respect for the patients! This office is only after your money and has no regards to actually helping and fixing your dental issues!! I don't even know how they are still practicing! I've never met a doctor who unprofessionally responds to negative reviews! And speaks very poorly about patients who do not agree with him. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!! There are so many more kind, caring, compassionate and professional dental offices you can go to but this place is definitely not one of them!!!!! I would not put it past this office to create fake names to give "good" reviews!! Absolutely horrible and unprofessional!

Very rude. Look on Yelp this dentist is rated a 2 star. Do not recommend. ( Update. you are absolutely right I never claimed I was a patient, nor wouldn't wanna be. The disrespect I experienced as a customer or was soon to be patient was very unprofessional and unexplainable. I should've been treated with the upmost respect as a new comer, but was laughed at by staff and the doctor for having medicaid( when in all didn't realize you guys didn't take it) the doctor laughed, then preceded to snatch my form paper and told me " Go find a dentist that takes medicaid, we only do cash " . Your reply shows everything about your dentistry, fix your establishment and then try to correct me. Now have a bless day.

They responded to my emergency call from last night, this morning. I asked what time do they close to make sure I don't come when they are about to close. They definitely don't want to stay over. Although I felt no concern from whoever called me. If anyone reads this that can recommend an extraction besides here. Thanks.
