  • At McCloy Dental Caboolture/Morayfield, we believe in pain free dentistry. This philosophy has stood us in good stead with our patients, it being one reason our practice has grown to be one of the biggest practices in the area. Our patients frequently start fearful, but develop confidence with us as the treatment progresses. Generally, theses apprehensions stem from events which have occurred in someone’s life time, and are real reasons for patients to be anxious. For that reason we treat each patient as an individual and work around their particular problems.

    We have available to us Relative Analgesia (RA), and Local Anesthesia (LA) to treat each patient appropriately. We also believe that giving the patient control of treatment progression reduces their anxiety.

    Caboolture Pain free dentistry starts with proper diagnosis. Appropriate treatment and maintenance to maximize the longevity of the restoration minimizes the overall work a patient receives. We start by discussing your needs and tailoring appointments to suit each individual. We make sure patients are sitting comfortably with dark glasses to reduce the glare from overhead lights. We have overhead television and headphones so patients can watch their favorite programs or listen to music, instead of being aware of the procedure around them.

    An application of topical anaesthetic such as lignocane will numb the mucosa or gum so that pain free injection can be completed. We use the highest quality syringes which are engineered to deliver a dose of anaesthetic with minimal site trauma. The local anaesthetic is also of highest quality, to minimize chemical reactions at the injection site. We warm the solution to body temperature to ensure that there is no sensation felt by the patient. Injecting slowly means the first sensation felt is a tingling as the anaesthesia usually works.

    Our practice of delivering pain-free dentistry allows our nervous patients to overcome their apprehension. Regular checkups then become an easy routine rather than the dreaded exception.

    If you have a painful tooth ache, broke a tooth, or have lost your crown or filling, you may need urgent dental care. We’re here to help, just reach out.

  • TMD or TMJ Dysfunction (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) is a big word for a big condition.

    How you can detect the possible existence of TMJ Dysfunction?

    Do you experience the pain of a tension headache, migraine, or cramped muscles at some time? Or you have been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea? For some, the pain is so intense, distracting, and so persistent that it controls them and their ability to function properly in life.

    TREATMENTS FOR HEADACHES

    There are two people in this world. The first sleeps well, feels relaxed and is ready to go on and have a full day. The second person wakes after tossing and turning through most of the night, their back and neck are stiff, their ears are ringing, and their hands and fingers at times feel numb. They cannot move too fast due to dizziness and their head is aching like it is in a vice.

    If you feel like this second person, do not despair! There is hope! The symptoms you are experiencing may be as a result of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD / TMJ Dysfunction). The good news is that, at McCloy Dental, we have the qualified and experienced dentists that effectively treat these and similar conditions.

    What are some of the TMJ Dysfunction symptoms to look out for?

    TMD/ TMJ Dysfunction is a condition that involves a range of symptoms. These may include:

    • Headaches

    • Migraines

    • Pain and noise (e.g. clicking) in the jaw joint

    • Dizziness

    • Ringing in the ears

    • Ear pain/ congestion

    • Sinus congestion

    • Neck pain

    • Tingling in the fingers

    • Sensitive teeth

    • Facial pain

    This condition can affect people at any age and can become more prevalent as we get older.

    The treatment provided by McCloy Dental is individualised to each patient. We ensure your TMD/TMJ treatment is customised to suit your specific needs and symptoms. Our primary objectives are to develop a treatment aimed at making you more comfortable, reduce and even eliminate your pain and enable you to function and enjoy life once again.

    What causes TMD/ TMJ Dysfunction?

    Stress is the key contributor in the development of TMD/ TMJ. The external influence of anxiety results in clenched jaws and tight shoulders. By clenching your jaw you may be compressing jaw points. In which case the back jaw ligament will stretch and become inflamed. Your jaw disc may also become dislocated; resulting in a popping sound when you open your mouth widely (whilst talking, eating, yawning, etc). Women are also more likely to suffer TMD/ TMJ than men. TMD/ TMJ Treatment is given a strong emphasis within McCloy Dental. We have recognised the need for increased treatment and diagnosis of TMD/ TMJ conditions and aspire to help patients resolve and eliminate this disorder.

    What treatments are available?

    Treatment for TMD/ TMJ Dysfunction is available for those found to be suffering this condition. TMD/ TMJ Treatment utilises the combined knowledge of the mouth, teeth, jaw, oral and facial tissues. At McCloy Dental we provide several possible treatment methods for TMD/ TMJ. In many cases, identifying the lifestyle factors responsible for developing and maintaining the pain such as posture, clenching, stress and sleep issues may be all that is required to solve the problem. When needed we can use a plastic bite appliance to help the jaw muscles to relax. Lifestyle changes, the use of a bite appliance and, on rare occasions orthodontic and or restorative treatment are all part of our arsenal for combatting the symptoms of TMD/ TMJ. If you think you may suffer from TMD/ TMJ Dysfunction, please make an appointment with McCloy Dental as soon as possible.

    TMD/ TMJ Treatment is given a strong emphasis within McCloy Dental. We have recognised the need for increased treatment and diagnosis of TMD/ TMJ conditions and aspire to help patients resolve and eliminate this disorder. At McCloy Dental we are committed to helping patients cope with this condition and regain their well-being.

  • Another big name! It means that wear & tear happens sometimes more to your teeth than to any other part of your body. Short, chipped teeth can add years of age to your face, make you susceptible to headaches, facial & jaw pain as well as making chewing a hard task.

    Although modern dentistry provides many treatment alternatives, sometimes the best thing to do is rebuild your teeth; restoring their optimum appearance. Karen & Russell have both received advanced training in porcelain reconstruction. Having your mouth restored by a highly trained team can make an unbelievable difference, not only to the way that you look, smile & chew, but also to how well you feel generally.

    Full mouth reconstruction is a big step, but at McCloy Dental you can be assured that you are receiving care from highly trained teams. Talk to them about the benefits you will receive from this treatment. It could be the most important conversation that you have!

    Our dedicated caring team, offer both your family and you the latest in general and cosmetic dentistry in a stress free, modern environment. With the combination of our up to date experience, technical expertise and personal approach to your dental care, we attract clients of all ages.

  • A Smile Make Over could be the answer to delivering you, the smile of your dreams.

    When talking to as many people as we do about teeth, we are constantly amazed at how many people don’t like their smile! The impact that this has on how people feel about themselves and their confidence can be devastating.

    No one enjoys having an unattractive smile! A we all know, a great smile exudes confidence. Great looking teeth also help us look younger, that’s why we call it a ‘smile makeover’

    For your, a friend’s or family member’s Wedding Day, your high school reunion or for any special celebration, it’s likely that you desire to look your best, most vibrant and youthful. A special smile for special moments like these are what we’re focused on delivering at McCloy Dental. We understand and have had the delight to witness, first hand, the transformation a smile make over can make to a patient’s life.

    We use the finest quality porcelain for our veneers and crowns and, as with all of our general dental treatments, we care for your comfort and well-being. We are also a family friendly dental practice committed to providing excellent dental care.

  • Dental implants are what we use to replace any teeth that may have been removed prematurely through injury, illness, and / or the ageing process.

    What’s involved with a Dental Implant?

    A titanium rod is used to replace the tooth root. The bone grows onto it and then a porcelain crown is added to the rod to act as the crown of your tooth. Implants can also be used for dentures, especially in instances where you’ve tired of loose dentures. Just a few implants can do wonders for stabilising dentures, allowing even the meat-loving-eaters amongst us to enjoy chewing a steak again.

    Minimising invasion dental implant surgery

    With advances in technology permeating every area of our lives, denistry has been no exception. Our latest ICAT x-ray machine reveals to us exactly where the bone is to bind your implants to. This means that in the majority of cases implants can go in with minimum surgery, or to put it in plain English, WITH NO STITCHES!

  • We have more specialised equipment then most dental practices. From same-day crowns with our CEREC, to our ICAT.

    This can help us have the ability to do implants virtually surgery & pain free. We can now see the jaw joints that are causing your migraines, tinnitus & neck pain in 3 dimensions if we need to. As one lady said ” Now I can see for the first time ever what is really wrong with me!” And once you know the problem, you can work towards the correct treatment.

    We are extremely proud at McCloy Dental to be able to provide it for our patients.
