Dr. Nicholas J. Murray
Background
Dr. Nicholas Murray brings a unique mix of clinical precision, military discipline, and a love of modern dentistry to every patient he sees. Originally from the Boston area, he earned his undergraduate degree from Providence College in 2002, followed by his DMD from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in 2007. He went on to complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry at Fort Jackson, SC — a foundation that’s shaped his commitment to getting things done right the first time.
Dr. Murray served as a Brigade Dentist and Triage Officer with the 3rd HBCT/3rd Brigade out of Fort Benning, GA until 2011. After completing his Army service, he practiced in San Antonio and El Paso while supporting his wife, Dr. Betsy Murray, through her medical training and own active-duty service in the U.S. Army.
Education
In 2019, Dr. Murray and his family moved to Lincoln — his wife’s hometown — and officially made it their forever home. He joined the faculty at UNMC College of Dentistry as a Clinical Instructor, where he focuses on CAD/CAM and digital dentistry. He’s passionate about using the latest tools and techniques to make care more accurate, efficient, and comfortable for patients — because better technology means better results.
Personal Interests
At home, Dr. Murray and Betsy stay busy (in the best way) with their four kids: Morgan, Dakota, Gunnar, and Bo. When he’s not in the office or teaching, you’ll find him road-tripping with the family, watching football, working out, or cooking up something delicious in the kitchen.
