Education

After graduating from Metro East Lutheran High School in Edwardsville, Illinois, Dr. Pat Murphy attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville where he received his Bachelor of Science in biology in 2010. He attended dental school at Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine in Alton, Illinois. In 2015, he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.

Continuing Education

In 2015, Dr. Pat Murphy traveled to Oregon to attend a two-day, hands-on continuing education course on implant dentistry. Dental implants, which serve as a replacement for a natural tooth root, can be used to restore missing teeth or support a bridge or dentures. That same year Dr. Pat Murphy attended a two day seminar on alternative sleep apnea treatments. In many cases, patients treated with a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) device find the machine and its associated mask to be uncomfortable and cumbersome, and they may ultimately elect to discontinue use. An alternative treatment is an oral appliance crafted by a dentist, which can improve airflow while sleeping without the need for a noisy machine or restrictive mask.

In 2016, Dr. Pat Murphy completed a one-day sleep apnea continuing education course, and he has signed up to complete a one-day course on efficient root canal treatment and a one-day course on full-mouth restoration before year’s end.

You don’t hear people say often that they enjoy going to the dentist.. But this is by far the best office I have ever encountered in my life.. I went in for a deep cleaning and Dani was THE BEST to the point I fell asleep during the procedure..Dental Wellness of Maryville by far is the best..

I Cannot thank the Drs, the Staff and the facility for helping me out at a time of distress. My phone died on me and I’m new in the area. They welcomed me to charge my phone, although they were ready to close for the day. Thank you all. You are truly saviors and real people who save lives.

I came in as new patient, so I had to get the full comprehensive exam done. It was amazing from walking in the door, to getting the x-rays taken and meeting with the Doctor which by the way is fabulous. The hygienist was amazing shout out to Dani for squeezing me in, she cleaned my teeth at that appointment. My Dental Assistant Candace was so amazing, very helpful and gentle… I’m so happy I made the switch. This is my new dental office <3.

The front staff provided excellent customer service. I was called at time of my appointment. Christie was thorough, explained everything she was doing and answered all of my many questions with ease. Dr. Murphy also was polite, did not rush my exam and answered all of my questions regarding what was wrong as well as provided possible solutions. They never made me feel uncomfortable.
