Why We Love Practicing in El Paso
El Paso’s rich history dates back over 400 years, when Spanish explorers named the area “El Paso del Norte” (The Pass of the North). The city served as a crucial crossing point along the historic Camino Real, connecting Mexico City to Santa Fe. In 1848, after the Mexican-American War, El Paso became part of the United States, and the arrival of the railroad in 1881 transformed it into a bustling frontier town.
Today, El Paso stands as a vibrant metropolis of over 678,000 residents, proudly ranking as one of the safest large cities in America. Its unique position at the intersection of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico creates a dynamic, multicultural environment where traditional Mexican heritage seamlessly blends with modern American culture.
What truly sets El Paso apart is its warm, close-knit community spirit and stunning natural beauty. Nestled against the Franklin Mountains and blessed with over 300 days of sunshine annually, residents enjoy an exceptional quality of life that combines urban amenities with breathtaking desert landscapes, making it a truly special place to call home.

Comprehensive Dental Services
Dr. John M. Purdy D.D.S. provides a complete spectrum of dental services at their El Paso location, meeting the oral health needs of patients at every stage of life. Their comprehensive approach ensures that patients receive all necessary care under one roof.
General dentistry forms the foundation of good oral health, starting with thorough dental examinations and professional cleanings. These preventive services help catch potential issues early while maintaining optimal oral health. Regular checkups include digital x-rays, oral cancer screenings, and professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing can’t address.
When cavities or damage occur, restorative dentistry offers solutions to repair and strengthen teeth. From simple fillings to more extensive procedures like crowns and bridges, these treatments restore both function and appearance. Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, offering a natural-looking replacement that functions just like natural teeth.
Cosmetic dentistry enhances smile aesthetics through various procedures. Professional teeth whitening removes years of stains and discoloration, while porcelain veneers can correct multiple aesthetic concerns at once. Dental bonding offers a quick solution for minor chips and gaps, helping patients achieve their ideal smile.
For gum health, periodontal care ranges from routine maintenance to treating advanced gum disease. Deep cleanings remove bacteria below the gum line, while ongoing periodontal maintenance helps prevent disease progression and maintains oral health.
Emergency dental services address unexpected dental problems promptly. Whether dealing with a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, or broken dental work, urgent care is available to provide relief and prevent further complications.
Endodontic procedures, including root canal therapy, save natural teeth that have experienced severe decay or injury. These treatments remove infected tissue while preserving the tooth’s external structure, eliminating pain and extending the life of natural teeth.
