Dr. Thomas McMurran

Owner/Dentist

 

Dr. Tom loves the challenge of making dental experiences as close to fun as possible. He enjoys getting to know patients and tries to create an environment where you can feel comfortable and relaxed. He works with people of all ages, from children to seniors, including family dentistry, tooth extractions, fillings, Invisalign, and dental implants.

Becoming a dentist was Dr. Tom’s childhood dream. Before opening his own dental practice in Fonthill, he was fortunate to work alongside his childhood dentist in Burlington who inspired him to pursue dentistry and encouraged him in his career.

Education & Continuing Education

Dr. Tom completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery at University of Toronto and a Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Psychology from The University of Western Ontario. He studied anxiety disorders at McMaster University, achieving a Master of Science in Neurobiology and Behaviour. Most people feel nervous about going to the dentist, and Dr. Tom says his education helps him understand dental anxiety and relate to his patients.

Dr. Tom is passionate about the importance of oral health and stays up to date on the latest dental training and technology. He completes continuing education courses each year that advance his professional skills and allow him to bring the best care to his patients at Fonthill Marketplace Dental. He is the proud recipient of a Fellowship from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, which enforces the highest standards and qualifications for placing dental implants.

Fonthill Marketplace Dental won the 2022 Platinum award for Best Dental Office, and Dr. Tom won the 2022 Platinum Award for Best Dentist, from the Welland Tribune Readers’ Choice awards.

Outside the Office

When he’s not in the office, Dr. Tom is busy playing with his two sons, Nicholas and Gabriel, and spending time with his wife, Jessica. He loves the outdoors, playing music, and watching sports. He never misses a Rangers FC soccer game!
