Meet Dr. Edward Murray In Fleming Island

Dr. Edward Murray

Dr. Edward Murray is passionate about helping patients feel at ease while addressing their dental concerns and wishes. For over 29 years, he has provided exceptional care to individuals and families in the communities of Fleming Island, Orange Park, and Jacksonville to achieve the healthy and vibrant smiles they desire. Dr. Murray is excited to be back on Fleming Island, close to family and friends, and is looking forward to welcoming new and previous patients to be part of Family Smiles of Fleming Island.

When he was a child, Dr. Murray experienced chronic headaches. Doctors couldn’t figure it out. Following years of unsuccessful sinus treatments, his dentist eventually determined he had a misaligned bite, which caused TMJ and muscle dysfunction. After being treated by an orthodontist, his pain disappeared forever. This experience motivated him to become a dentist so he could help others in similar situations. Dr. Murray first earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Albright College and then obtained a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Maryland at Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. He completed a general practice residency at the Reading Community General Hospital in Pennsylvania. As a healthcare professional committed to lifelong learning, Dr. Murray regularly takes continuing education courses and stays on top of the latest advancements in dentistry as a member of several dental associations.
