This place is awesome!! Staff is caring, punctual and experts in their field. I initially went in for a consultation as my original dentist quoted an exuberant amount to deal with my crowns. They offered to pull out the teeth and replace with implants! Dr Murphy said my teeth could be saved, which they did at 75% less than original dentist's quote. That was 2 years ago, I highly recommend read more

Dr. Therese Murphy and all the dental professionals employed in her office provided me excellent, personalized, practically pain-free dental care these past 4-5 weeks. I needed a root canal, 1new crown & a replacement crown. they remained aware of the experience I was having as their patient & I believe honestly strived to make it positive for me throughout! thank you, I appreciate everything! read more

Love Dr. Murphy, she offers personalized service to fit your needs. The office is not fancy but it's very clean. My husband was suffering from a toothache on Sunday and was traveling for business Monday morning. After calling several offices Dr. Murphy was the only office that returned my call. She asked a few question and was so concerned with my husband traveling with a toothache. She let me know she was just finishing up lunch with friends and could meet us at her office in two hours. Yes, she charged an after hour fee but I was grateful for her coming in on a Sunday when she was already out for the day. She was so kind and gentle and I knew at that moment she was going to be our new family dentist. read more

There is not a dentist I trust more than Dr. Murphy. She treats my husband and I and today treated my oldest son for the first time after outgrowing his pediatric dental office. She explains things clearly but not condescendingly. She has installed two crowns in my mouth and I haven't had anymore issues with those teeth since. Her hygienists are also great. Her office is clean and welcoming--my only complaint is that there is little to no cell reception--which is not her fault but plan ahead and bring a book to enjoy while you wait. read more

I had a large filling that came out of a molar. I was a cash patient, so I had to go back to someone I could trust. I knew I could count on Dr Murphy for she is thorough and knows what she is doing. She has an excellent skill set and takes pride in her work. It is now the next day after my appointment and there is no pain, and my tooth is completely restored. I am happy again. I highly recommend Theresa Murphy. read more

Caring Dentist that goes above and beyond, always finds away to fit you in on emergencys. Does great detective work on finding the problem. Been using Murphy for over 20 years, wouldn't go to anyone else, she is the real deal. read more

i just love Dr. Murphy and all her staff! Renee (unsure of spelling) is so informative and eagerly teaches me things that I never knew and I'm 66 yrs old, so that's impressive. i can actually say that I come to my appointment and they put me at such ease that I get so relaxed that at times I fall asleep during procedures. I live in Missouri but visit daughter in California and have been seeing Dr. Murphy for over a year, choosing Dr. Murphy's office do my exams, 6 month cleanings and all work needed on my older dental work. I Highly recommend Temecula Ridge Dentistry - Dr. Therese Murphy and her staff with all my dental care. read more

What a wonderful experience with Dr. Murphy today! I went in for a consultation for Candid aligners because my smile has always bothered me. She listened carefully to my concerns and referred me to an orthodontist for more specialized care, which I greatly appreciate. She educated me about the shape of my palate and how a standard aligner might not give me the result I was hoping for. I appreciated Dr. Murphy's honesty, ethical approach, and integrity. She was more concerned about me getting the best result, which is why she referred me for an orthodontist opinion instead of just caring about having me as a patient to make money from. I would give 10 stars if I could! Thank you, Temecula Ridge Dentistry and Dr. Murphy! read more

Love love Dr. Murphy and staff. Staff always professional and polite. They definitely know how to work with anxious patients like myself. Plus , Temecula Ridge is very affordable! --Nancy E read more

I went there today...Maggie the receptionist was very helpful. She set me up to see the dentist Theresa Murphy within a day. She also found me insurance. Ray took my x-rays he was great. Dr. Murphy is fantastic. I felt welcomed. She was kind and gave me good advice. How often do you look forward to seeing a dentist? Anyone who has problems like me or just needs a dentist who's great should make an appointment. read more

Dr. Murphy was very informative, kind and took the time to address all my concerns. She even scheduled my referral before I left which was past their closing time! Her Hygienist was also excellent, actually the best and fastest cleaning I ever had. I am a new patient here but already happy I've found our family Dentist. read more

* unfortunately I have had to downgrade my review. I've tried for several months, almost 7, to resolve an issue in regards to services not rendered and payment. When I have had the chance to speak with Dr. Murphy she had seemed helpful, however has since been dodging phone calls or the office staff is just that awful. I can not suggest this office as the customer service is atrocious now. Severely disappointed and feeling scammed. Poor way to conduct business -Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I've been to dr. Murphy once for a cleaning, this am ( the morning I'm headed to the airport of course) my tooth is in extraordinary pain. I called the office and Dr. Murphy took time to speak with me, gave me her cell number for an emergency and called in antibiotics to a pharmacy where I'll be visiting! Who does that?! Fantastic. The dental hygienist I had was lovely as well, gentle and thorough! The reception staff has been extremely helpful as well. read more

Had an issue that required the Office Manager. She was very under qualified to handle the situation. Scheduling policy is a joke and a bit of a hassle. A family member of mine had such a bad experience that they prepaid for a treatment that they do not plan on returning for. Owner and managing dentist is clearly somewhat newer to practice ownership and does not realize that a lot of her work would be alleviated if she would have a proper leadership team in place. Best piece of advice here is ...There is a dental office on every corner the reason we choose to go to one over another is our experience. Client experience is analyzed and delivered via a proper management team with experience and industry knowledge. To simply practice Dentistry is not enough. read more

I first went to Dr Murphy during COVID. She was one of the few dentists who remained open for emergency care. I was grateful to have a painful crown situation taken care. Since then my husband and I have done our regular maintenance as well as more dental work. In the past I've had dental anxiety however feel a little of that now as she is so compassionate, competent and I've never experienced pain. I recently had another dental emergency and she got me in within the hour. You can't ask for more. read more

I just moved to Temecula and had a loose crown and a broken crown. I was so fortunate to have picked Temecula Ridge Dentistry. The front office assistant gave me an appointment to get xrays and evaluated. Dr. Murphy gave me a comprehensive plan and was able to put me back together and even split the costs over 3 visits. Dr. Murphy is one of the the best Dentists I have ever been to. The staff is so friendly! I felt like I had some friends in my new town. I highly recommend Temecula Ridge Dentistry. read more

I visited Dr. Murphy's office to get a second opinion. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and efficient from the start. Dr. Murphy listened to my series of recent issues with my mouth. The DDS I visited before Dr. Murphy was quick to tell me to get a root canal, though his x-rays were not taken on an angle that showed the root. Dr. Murphy's staff took a series of x-rays that revealed a root canal did not appear to be a pressing issue, so much as the cavity behind that tooth. As a cash patient her prices were very fair. She took care of my cavity, which turned out to be fairly large! I am so thankful Dr. Murphy's office took the time to be thorough! My issues have resolved since getting the large cavity addressed. Dr. Murphy in my opinion is very caring, I was very comfortable in her presence. She felt like being with a kind family member who genuinely cares. read more

I just finished my 6 month cleaning at Temecula Ridge Dentistry. Hailey is the best cleaning hygienist I honestly ever had. She was very careful and thorough with the cleaning process. I had no pain and actually almost fell asleep because I was so relaxed. When it was time to see the Dr. Murphy final exam of my x-ray, I Ioved the honest professional feedback that I received. Temecula Ridge Dentistry is the best dentistry in the Temecula Valley read more

Dr Murphy is great. I had a lot of dentistry work done and I have been really happy. She is detailed, professional and friendly. Robin is also great. I strongly recommend for small or big work. read more

My front left veneer fell off on a Friday night when biting into a piece of bread. There was some blood and swelling and I was freaked out because I had to climb on an airplane the following Monday to meet with a huge client. I placed the veneer in a container and started doing my research online. After searching online for a cosmetic dentist and looking at the reviews I was incredibly relieved to find Temecula Ridge Dentistry who was able to get me in on Saturday. The wait was minimal and her office staff greeted me with respect and kindness. When Dr. Murphy came in and instroduced herself I knew I was in good hands. She is an excellent cosmetic dentist who was able to reinstall my veneer quickly, painlessly and with total professionalism. Her ability to put me at ease and get my smile back in order made me feel awesome! The price was extremely reasonable and I highly recommend her! read more

My wife came here for a root canal and unfortunately we didn't have insurance. My main area for the one star was that we were quoted one price and it kept increasing. She quoted us for the root canal but then she'd constantly say oh this is now needed and this each time she'd come back and say that wasn't included in the original estimate. It was nothing special a root canal with a temporary crown and then a permanent one. I don't know why she couldn't be up front with us but it ended up being about three times of the original estimate. The larger issue is my wife a year later had to go back to the dentist this time with insurance and still pay a ton because apparently the root canal was done incorrectly!!!! So she had to get it corrected. Horrible experience wouldn't go back for anything. Do not recommend going here at all. read more

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. Please tell me why with in the first 2 visits, my wife and I have forked over $1,500 on our out of pocket costs? I'm in one of the best unions in the world and have great insurance. But these staff that work here just rack up charges and push sales so hard! They told my wife that she has severe gum disease and that she needs special molded trays to treat it. Those trays cost us $900 out of pocket and this was on her 2nd visit. Then they told me I have bad gum disease and got me to pay for some special syringe of medicine for my gums. I'm sorry but after 2 visits and $1500.00, they have scared us away they are so pushy with sales and appointments. Also they feel like they can reschedule your appointments last minute to their benefit. But if you miss or can't reschedule your appointment within 48 hours they charge you $50. But when you try to call to reschedule within 48 hours they don't answer or are not very happy when you do so. Sorry but this dentist is not for the patient. They are out for getting those checks in. read more

This place and the people are amazing! It was my first visit and very last minute. I had severe tooth pain, she had a full schedule and still managed to get me in within about an hour. She was very thorough and informative, as well as incredibly nice and comforting. I was just there yesterday and have already recommended her to 3 friends. If you're looking for a great dentist this is her. If it weren't for covid I honestly would have hugged her. read more

Like other yelpers I was brought here by their teeth whitening promotion and I am soooo glad I was. This place is just fantastic! The office is very clean and modern. They offer Saturday appointments which I greatly appreciate. My very first visit I received X-rays and was fitted for the teeth whitening trays (included in promotion.) I think Dr Murphy is so great and very personable. She greeted me upon first arriving and I thought it was so cool the way she was very patient with her staff and even helping and training one girl while doing my exam. I immediately had much respect her after seeing this as you will encounter many doctors who are "too good for the world", rude and impatient with their staff. Lisa gave me the most incredible and through teeth cleaning I've ever had. I was in and out easily. For my second visit I received my trays and whitening gel. Nikki took such good care of me. Very sweet and informative and did a wonderful job educating me on the whitening process. You can tell she genuinely cares for their patients and does her job very well! I was able to have this appt on my lunch hour and when receiving my trays they had to make an adjustment. instead of having me wait my whole lunch hour Sabrina offered to fix the issue and just let me stop by after work on my way home. They are SO considerate , detail oriented and genuinely treat you like a welcomed guest. (I also love the text reminders and phone call the day prior) I can't even believe I had such a great experience at a dental office! read more

I spent much time trying to find a dentist who will pay attention to our needs and wouldn't require a second mortgage on the house to pay for dental care. Dr. Murphy and staff are amazing. They pay attention to detail, and I appreciate the friendly and competent way they take care of us. The best part is the personal touch Dr. Murphy provides. She explains everything to you, takes her time, and will speak to you on the phone if necessary. She is a "hands on" dentist, paying special attention to her patients. I have finally found a dentist I trust. She is the best!! read more

Dr Murphy helped me after-hours when I was in excruciating pain. She - and her staff - were incredibly kind & compassionate considering my situation. I will definitely see her in the future, as well as refer her. read more

I thought I would never find a dentist better than the one I had before moving to Temecula, I was wrong. Dr. Murphy is a fine example of what a better than good dentist should be she is thorough from beginning to end, making sure you and your teeth are her number one priority. If your looking for a dentist that truly cares about her patients then you should see Dr. Murphy, she is the reason you will not only return but will refer your family and friends to her as well. read more

Doctor and staff are SUPER nice! My whole family comes here and are VERY happy with the service and care we receive form Temecula Ridge Dentistry. So happy we found this dentist! read more

Work in Temecula so was looking for a dentist closer to work. Read a few reviews and decided to give Temecula Ridge a shot. Glad I did! Very professional, very friendly, The services performed today were top notch and am definitely making this group my new Dentist group. Thank you for the hospitality and making me feel like I made the right decision. See you at my next appointment! Ed from Hemet read more

Previously trying Temecula Bridge Dentistry I hadn't been to the dentist for around 18 months. The last dentist I attended was just trying to up- sale and trying to make me believe just about all my teeth needed fixing or replacing. At the time of this review a full exam is is less than $50. My old dentist had a $15 copay anyway. The treatment here was much better in my opinion. Amber, the hygenist was very gentle and kind. My wife had some issues with her teeth. We have only HMO insurance. Dr. Murphy is a PPO dr. We found it just as inexpensive to pay cash and use Dr Murphy as it was to use the HMO dentist. Dr. Murphy is very personable, professional, and does great work. read more

I had a great 1st time experience with Temecula Ridge Dentistry! My 15 year olds filling cracked and we got a same day appointment. Both Dr. Murphy and her staff were fantastic! So pleasant and easy to communicate with! I even had the time to have a nice philosophical conversation with Dr. Murphy herself which was quite engaging and uplifting! All indications are that the filling fixed worked out fantastic. Thanks for the great experience TRD! Will see you soon. read more

Came in here because I needed to find a dentist open on a Saturday. I have bad pain in my wisdom tooth and just needed to get checked. Got an appointment on same day (Saturday)! Everyone here in the office is so friendly and helpful and met with Dr. Murphy. She was honest in telling me I would need to see a specialist for my wisdom tooth extraction and referred me to someone who would be able to. I would recommend Temecula Ridge Dentistry!!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Murphy of Temecula Ridge Dentistry by a colleague as I was not thrilled with my Dentist. I am very pleased with the Professionalism, Customer Service and Dr. Murphy's talent. I broke a tooth and needed a crown. I am one of those people that is not thrilled to visit a Dentist but Dr. Murphy and her team just may change my mind about that. I especially appreciated her cleverness in giving me the numbing injection as it did not hurt at all. I am happy to say I have a new Dentist. read more

Let me start off by saying that I have not been to a dentist in well past 20 years. I checked around for recommendations for a personal dentist who was not only great as a dentist but would also be able to manage my situation with my not having been to a dentist in such an extraordinarily long time. I was not looking for some big dental group where you are just another body and you are moved through their system nearly mechanically without them really even being able to know you and treat you personally or where they just want to make money off of you. I also didn't want someone who would take advantage of me for not having been to a dentist in soooooooo long and tell me I needed a ton of bogus procedures just to make more money. Now, I honestly DID expect that I would have a few serious issues that would need to be addressed, but I've heard the horrible stories of so many people being told they need massive amounts of dental work or highly expensive dental work that they never actually needed. The ENTIRE staff at Temecula Ridge who work with Dr. Murphy was outstanding! EVERY SINGLE ONE I came into contact with that day treated me not only like a person and not a number, but they did not treat me like I was just a way to make money. They made me feel comfortable about every thing they were doing. The HONESTY of Dr. Murphy and her staff at the end of the day absolutely was a great massive cherry on top of an overall GREAT experience from the moment I entered their office. Dr. Murphy could have told me I needed extensive and expensive work done since it had been so long since I'd had dental care and I would have completely believed her!! She did not take advantage of my situation at all and no one there shamed me or made me feel badly about not receiving dental care sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Murphy to ANYONE who needs a dentist for any reason. You will get personal care and you will receive ABSOLUTELY HONEST CARE by a great staff and great dentist!!! read more

When I first started going to Dr. Murphy I was happy enough. But then I had a nightmare experience with her and her office, and no one seemed to give a crap about it. I woke up one Monday with a throbbing in my jaw that made my eyes water. I called her office to get an appointment but got voice mail. I left a message, asking for an emergency appointment. No one called all day. That evening, I sent her e-mail---one to her Yahoo account and one through her Web service. Still no response. I kept calling throughout the week. Nothing. I e-mailed intermittently. NOTHING. The pain was unreal but I couldn't get a hold of her and I had to keep working so I couldn't get to the office. I finally drove there on Saturday morning, explained to the receptionist what I had been going through, and the moron scheduled me for the following Thursday! Seriously. I told her no, I've been waiting all week, and I want to see Dr. Murphy today. They squeezed me in, I got some antibiotics to stop the throbbing, and I told Dr. Murphy about the issues getting in touch with her office. She kind of smirked and said, "Oh, do you have Frontier phone service? Yeah, for some reason we don't get messages from people with Frontier." That's got to be one of THE stupidest excuses I've heard, so I asked if she got my e-mails. "Yes. Didn't the receptionist contact you? I'm surprised." You're surprised?! That's it? A patient is in pain, trying to reach you for DAYS, and you're surprised that your office ignored said patient? At this point, all I can say is I am very glad to have found someone PROFESSIONAL to handle my dental needs. I would never go back to this office. read more

Awesome Experience. I am one of those that hates going to the dentist! I found Dr Murphy by purchasing a whitening kit for my teeth at a discounted price. My old dentist moved so I no longer have one, But now I do indeed have a new dentist. Everyone was extremely friendly. Dr. Murphy was amazing and made sure I didn't feel any of my dental work that I needed to get done. Mary Ann is awesome too! Super friendly and answered all my questions! read more

Dr.Murphy is the best. I lost track of her. But found her again. And glad I did. My dentist opened a office in L.A. And will only being coming to Murrieta once a week. But Dr.Murphy knows her stuff. Has mass experience. And can deal with anything. Very fair. And will not steer you wrong. Not once did she ever. Go to her. You will love it. read more

Fantastic dentists are few and far between especially when they have patients who suffer from anxiety or dental phobia. I am one of those patients. The staff was wonderful, they listened to my fears, my past experiences, and moat of all they made me feel like I wasn't crazy or taking up too mich of their time. Dr. Murphy explained in both medical and laymen terms. She educated me on what needed to happen for the right now. She said after I heal and have sometime I can come back for a routine cleaning and then we'll discuss a game plan. It was such a relief that I was not overwhelmed with info or had to make plans that day, other than what the next step was. The overall experience was so wonderful that I made my next appointment. Thank you Dr. Murphy and staff sooooooo much!!! read more

Always a good experience with Dr Murphy and her staff. Everyone is always professional, friendly and efficient. Haley the hygienist was great and so pleasant. Very knowledgeable and is a jack of all trades. I am always well taken care of. read more

I wanted to provide an update since my last visit back in 2016. Dr. Murphy is now our primary dentist for the entire family. My husband is extremely happy with the new crowns that is he getting. Dr. Murphy is such a great lady, she builds rapport with people so easily! Prices are much better too. The office calls insurance to make sure you know exactly what it will cost and there is no surprises. Love it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how well my daughter did during the visit. She is only 6, so as mom you always worry and want to make sure kids are not afraid of doctors.. As soon as my little one popped in the chair I heard her and doctor chatting about school and things she did over the summer..I think my girl didn't even realize she came to see a doctor, her visit went great and she told me she would love to come back..Finding a doctor who bonds with your kids really makes a huge difference in how willing they are to come back to get any dental work done. Recently I had a tooth pain and wasn't sure how soon I would be able to get in to be seen. I was amazed when I called and was able to speak to dr. Murphy right away. To my surprise she remembered my name..and she said "oh yes, that must be your number #19 tooth"....which it was... as I found out when I was able to be seen same day! Even though Dr. Murphy was closing at 6 she still made time to see me right at close.. As I was leaving the office it was late and dark in outside so the doctor kept the front door open just to make sure I get to my car safely. Incredible experience. The office is full of personable caring people who are willing to go above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. Thank you staff and Dr. Murphy for everything you do! If you are currently looking for a dentist call Temecula Ridge Dentistry! read more

I've never really been comfortable in a dentist's office - I knocked my 2 front teeth out when I was 8 and still remember the experience in the chair. I have to admit that Dr. Murphy as a way with people, she certainly calmed my fears. I'm sorry, I don't remember the name or the young lady who cleaned my teeth, but she was gentle and pleasant. Julie at the front desk had me checked in quickly, to my relief! It was such a pleasure to find this wonderful and professional office. I guess what I want to say is I didn't even feel like I was at the dentist! I would definitely recommend them. read more
