Services
Dr. Mark Murphy and our friendly, knowledgeable staff are dedicated to making every visit to our office a great experience. Expert dental care is provided with a warm, personal touch in a comfortable, relaxed setting. The first step towards a beautiful smile and a lifetime of good oral health is to schedule an appointment.
There's nothing to fear with a dental exam. Your teeth will be visually examined for signs of plaque, tartar and tooth decay. Your gums will also be examined for puffiness or discoloration, which are signs of gum disease. A full set of dental X-rays may also be taken during your dental exam, to enable your dentist to see below the surfaces of your teeth.
Today's teeth whitening treatments are so easy, convenient and affordable that they've become a regular part of everyone's beauty routine. If you haven't tried one yet, you'll be happy to know that you have plenty of choices. For the fastest, most dramatic results, consider laser teeth whitening. Laser teeth whitening treatments take just an hour and can whiten teeth up to 10 shades.
Of all of the dentistry procedures, the most dreaded has to be the root canal and the placement of crowns. While it sounds majestic, anyone who has had a traditional crown can testify there is nothing royal about it. The traditional procedure for creating and placing dental crowns is long, complex, and often requires numerous visits to the office for messy impressions and later, fittings.
We think you can tell a lot about dentists in the Castro Valley area from their patient reviews. Dr. Mark Murphy and the staff at Mark S. Murphy DDS are proud that our commitment to excellence in general dentistry and cosmetic dentistry has earned so many positive reviews. See for yourself what actual patients say about their experience with Dr. Murphy.

I have dreaded going to the dentist because of a few rough experiences that have made me consider never seeing a dentist again. I had moved to the Bay Area last August and was referred to Dr. Murphy's office when I chipped a tooth. I feared and planned for the worst, but walking through the front door put mind immediately at ease. The office is not what the stereotypical dentist office looks like. The folks that work there are suburb. I had my first actual cleaning not too long ago, and I actually enjoyed myself!!!

What a great practice the whole staff makes you feel welcomed and at easy from the time you walk in to the time you leave. I am very particular with who I entrust my personal health too not because I am afraid but because I understand what's suppose to happen and what's not. I have been searching for a dentist for about 3 yrs and had a horrible experience in Tracy. I took my mother to an appt with her dentist, Dr Murphy. Let me tell from the time we got in the office I was impressed! I live in Manteca and let me tell you it's well worth the commute,Dr Murphy himself is so nice

Dr. Murphy is the best, most trustworthy, honest Dentist I've ever been a patient of and the dental hygienist, Jackie, gives the best cleanings I've ever had. Also, the receptionists are always friendly and very helpful. I was a patient of theirs for 5 years. Unfortunately, I moved across the country and am scared of getting a cleaning/ dental advice elsewhere.
Thank you so much for everything Dr. Murphy and Jackie! Next time I'm in California, I'm making an appointment with them.

I went without a dentist for a period of time due to my dentist retiring. A good friend referred me to Dr. Murphy. I am TERRIFIED of the dentist. Anytime the drill is used, I know it will be painful. I was very upfront with Dr. Murphy and his staff about my fear. They were very kind, explained everything as they went. Unfortunately, I require a lot of novacaine because my teeth are so sensitive. After my appointment, with my new crown, he gave me a shot that helped the novacaine wear off faster. They said that they couldn't tell that I was fearful. I think they deserve the credit for that

My experience with Dr. Murphy and his staff has been a wonderful one. I've had many cracked and crowned teeth over the years. Needless to say going to the dentist has become a norm in my life. For many years, I had another dentist I trusted but he retired recently. It's hard to replace the trust and level of service I was accustomed to. Luckily a colleague referred me to Dr. Murphy.
Yesterday I cracked a molar and knew I needed a crown in a hurry since I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow. I called the office promptly in the morning and the receptionist was so understanding and helpful

I was referred to Dr. Murphy and Jackie by a friend and couldn't be happier. The staff are ALL amazing, and friendly. My main reason for reviewing today is from dental work I've had done recently. Dr. Murphy's technology is state of the art and has you in and out. For work that most dentists have you come back in a week or two, I got done in one day (less than 2 hours) and was eating like normal an hour after I left.

Had a crown put in last week here and Dr. Murphy and ALL his staff were great. I had never had a crown so Dr. Murphy was great about explaining everything as we went. The whole procedure was painless and I usually get nervous about dental work but not this time. Also, I don't have insurance and had to pay with CareCredit, and I have to say they treated me no different and his front office staff were very kind and understanding. All in all, it was a great experience and I have found a new dentist!

I would recommend Dr. Murphy without reservation!
I can't believe how pain free he is. There are TV's in the ceiling so while I'm reclined during the procedure I'm able to catch up with the ladies of "The View".
The office has every high tech dental equipment you can imagine, such as making crowns & the adjustments onsite without it having to be sent out and having to return for another appt.
I drive all the way from Berkeley because Dr. Murphy is just the best dentist I've ever gone to.
BTW girls, he's really cute!

I have been going to Jackie Blair (Dental Hygentist) since I was a child. I have followed her along with 8 of my family members here to Dr Murphys office. We all LOVE her and we ALL have great clean teeth. We see her every 4-6 months for cleanings. We have never had a bad experience at this office or with any of the friendly staff at Dr Murphys office. Even when our insurance changed and Dr Murphys office would not take our insurance we paid out of pocket to come have our teeth cleaned by Jackie! Even the decor is beautiful here and unlike any other dentist office around. Bottom line we only have

I have been going to Dr. Murphy for 10+ years and have nothing but good things to say about him and his staff.
Dr. Murphy: Dr. Murphy is amazingly nice and a huge believer in pain free dental care. He will do everything he can to keep you comfortable during your treatments - and I have had several treatments such as fillings and a root canal. He uses the most up to date technology allowing the best service possible. He has tv's in the ceilings to keep you distracted while he does his work, which works perfect for me because I start to pay more attention to what's on tv then what

Another fair review, so you know... I had veneers done and for whatever reason, I've had nothing but trouble. My advice: do your homework, google possible veneer problems. Unless you have major issues, I suggest you stay away from having them done period. Another suggestion: before they're permanently glued on, ask that they be temporarily glued. Make sure and check out the color in natural light, rather than in the dental chair.

Ive been coming here since I was little...How long ago you ask? Well I went to them when they were in Hayward off of B st. Dr. Murphy himself use to clean my teeth and I'd always get a toy afterwards! :)
Anyway, Everybody there is WONDERFUL! I always have a pleasant experience at Dr. Murphy's office. One thing I love about them is when I need to reschedule (due to my school and work schedule changing every semester) they are fine with that and never give me attitude about it. I will continue to go to Dr. Murphy's as long as I live in the bay area!
BTW, Tim and Karen's reviews

Dr. Murphy & his staff are AWESOME! I hadn't been to a dentist in about 7 years so I needed a very thorough cleaning. I was afraid that my gums would bleed & hurt, but although it took two appointments I came through with minimal discomfort. The nice thing about having two appointments, though, was that I got to meet Dr. McCready & Jackie & experience their different techniques using different technologies. Dr. Murphy did my initial intake & he was super friendly, very informative & very thorough. The office is really nice & soothing. I first visited Dr. Murphy
