A Midwestener at heart, Dr. Hurley was born and raised in the northeastern Wisconsin peninsula known as Door County. She attended Marquette University in Milwaukee, WI for both her Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Sciences and her Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree, graduating Summa Cum Laude with both. After graduating, Dr. Hurley moved to Maryland and quickly fell in love with Baltimore City and knew that she was here to stay. Dr. Hurley started Be More Dental in 2021 fulfilling her dream to practice high-level patient-centered dentistry in her own community with her office serving as a true “dental home” for her patients.
Clinical excellence and the ability to perform advanced dentistry at a high level have been pillars in Dr. Hurley’s daily practice. She believes in providing her patients with the most current and top-notch clinical care across all modalities of dentistry, thus she has been committed to continued learning through some of dentistry’s most esteemed institutes in dedication to providing her patients with the highest quality care available. Dr. Hurley has pursued hundreds of hours of advanced continuing education across all facets of general dentistry, with an extensive focus on cutting-edge, advanced, and safe practices of dental surgery and implant dentistry which she has found to be her true passion along her journey.
Dr. Hurley has completed over 700 hours of advanced education in implant dentistry and oral surgery alone through some of the most distinguished training institutes in the country and world. She has placed hundreds of dental implants and has helped her patients restore their dentition by replacing single missing teeth, segments of teeth, and full-mouth smile-reconstructions with dental implants. She has been trained in both traditional techniques and also in some of the most advanced-techniques that exist in the industry so that she may serve the greatest population of patients, even those who may have been told that they are not a candidate for implants elsewhere.
Full-mouth smile reconstructions are Dr. Hurley’s passion as her training in implant dentistry allows her to offer her patients confident, healthy, and realistic smiles that they never thought were possible. Dr. Hurley is currently working through the rigorous credentialing process of the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and has achieved the high honor of Associate Fellow with the academy. She is also diligently working toward becoming a diplomate with the American Board of Oral Implantologists. On top of her implant specific qualifications, Dr. Hurley has achieved her Fellowship through the American Academy of General Dentistry, a prestigious status that is only achieved by 6% of general dentists.
Dr. Hurley values individualized, patient-centered care and she truly feels that her patients are the heart of her daily practice. She doesn’t want to work ON you, she wants to work WITH you to create the healthy and confident smile that you deserve and desire. She assures you a safe and judgment-free space that truly feels like home. She looks forward to building a relationship with you and working together to create a treatment plan that is perfect for YOU!

Wondering what to expect at your first visit? Once you come to our office, you’ll check in with our front office team and head back to your operating room. Then, one of our hygienists will clean your teeth and perform a quick oral exam, complete with x-rays. Our digital x-rays allow Dr. Hurley to get unique insights into your oral health, past dental work, and much more.
Once your cleaning is done, Dr. Hurley will come into your operatory to greet you, get to know you, and perform an oral exam. She will check your x-rays and perform a comprehensive exam of your teeth and gums to assess your overall oral health. She’ll also discuss your oral health and overall health history to learn more about any past oral health challenges that you may have faced.
The final step is a personalized treatment plan. If your mouth is healthy, you’ll simply come back to our office for another checkup in six months, and Dr. Hurley will provide you with guidance on how to keep your smile healthy. If she notices any serious oral health issues, she’ll discuss them with you, talk about your treatment options, and schedule the follow-ups that you need to keep your smile healthy and strong.
Dr. Hurley is focused on providing the best dental care in Baltimore. That’s why we’ve invested in some of the most advanced technology on the market.

From the simplest checkups to the most complicated oral surgeries and dental implant procedures, Dr. Hurley combines her expertise with our advanced technology to provide treatment that’s truly a cut above the competition.
