Dr. Michael Murray has always seen dentistry as more than a science. To him, dentistry is also an art. He gains inspiration and passion for cosmetic dentistry from the smiles and emotions he sees on his patients' faces when they first set eyes on their beautiful new smiles. It is his appreciation for the aesthetics of modern dentistry that convinced Dr. Murray to open The Center for General and Cosmetic Dentistry in Panama City, Florida in 1999.
After earning his degree in dentistry from the University of Oklahoma, College of Dentistry, he served as a Dental Officer in the United States Air Force for eight years. Upon leaving the Air Force, Dr. Murray pursued advanced post-graduate training to provide his patients with the quality of dental care he found personally inspiring.
He chose to continue his education at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI), the world-renowned educational center for aesthetic and neuromuscular dentistry. The expertise he gained as an LVI dentist has translated into beautiful results. Be sure to visit our smile gallery for amazing patient photos and testimonials.
Dr. Murray has been a member of the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, Bay County Dental Society, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. When he is not enhancing smiles, Dr. Murray enjoys coaching youth league basketball and baseball, playing basketball, practicing piano and spending as much quality time as possible with this lovely wife, Miki, and their two beautiful children.
With eleven years of experience in dentistry, Terri does a fantastic job as our Dental Assistant and Team Coordinator. A graduate of Gulf Coast Community College, her post-graduate studies have included: JP Institute Evolutionary Hygiene training, work with Drevenstedt Management Consulting, and Dental Concierge and Dynamic Team Concepts training through the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies.

Periodontal therapy is Jeanett's specialty and her love of dentistry is apparent in both her enthusiastic approach and in the way she customizes each patient's treatment to meet individual needs.

We have been patients of Dr.Murray since we arrived in Panama City since 2014. He was referred by a co-worker and I also did my research on him. His resume did it for us! Prior USAF:-) Seriously though, Dr. Murray is the best dentist and the professional he displays speaks volumes! He explains everything in great detail and you can see he takes great pride in his profession. His office staff all follow in his lead, Awesome bunch of folks! Go USAF!!
