With a drum roll we are pleased to announce the winners of our 2024 NRL footy tipping comp. 

1st place Bernie
2nd place Jodie
7th place Krista

There's a few bitter and twisted staff members walking around the building claiming unfair advantages, cheating and unfair luck, however Bernie maintains his innocence and says it was pure talent with only a pinch of luck. Congratulations Bernie! ​

We love celebrating here at Courtney Dental and supporting our football teams is one of our favorite things to do. We decorate the entire practice and dress ourselves in our best maroons fan gear.
Be warned, if you come into the practice wearing Blues/NSW supporter gear we will give you a hard time. We are QLD supporters through and through.

We recently celebrated our Bernie's 84th Birthday. We all love Bernie so much and are so grateful that he is still working and entertaining us. While he may on occasion run late with his appointments, he is adamant that everyone else has watches that run too fast. We had a wonderful day celebrating him with all his favorite treats. ​

Crowns are recommended when a tooth has been cracked, chipped or broken. The strength of the tooth can be compromised and to prevent further damage or potential loss of a tooth we recommend a crown. You can also have crowns done to improve the appearance of your teeth. 

Fractures can happen easily, trauma, old restorations and even from clenching and grinding your teeth. Root canal treated teeth also require a crown. 

Crowns are generally made from materials such as porcelain, metal or a combination of both. Not only do they give them added strength, durability and stability, they can also make your teeth look more attractive.

As sports season commences we want to take this moment to remind our patients about the importance of a custom made mouth guard. Our mouth guards are great for added protection for children and adults playing sports.

Available in a range of colours, Bernie will custom fit a mouth guard to give your smile the protection it deserves.

Depending on the level of sport you play, we can custom make the thickness of the guard to suit.

Call us on 4725 3366 for more information and to make an appointment.

Happy New Year, from the team at Courtney Dental! We are almost at the end of January, but back into the swing of things after the silly season. One of our favorite things about the new year is the inevitable new years resolutions that come with it. Especially the ones related to oral health. Typical New Years resolutions include,

- Brushing more often
- Flossing every day
- Quitting smoking
- Eating less sugar
- Drinking more water
- Prioritizing visiting the dentist and hygienist more often

Here at Courtney Dental we love supporting our patients, even if your resolutions don't last long, its great to have a goal.

Call us on 07 4725 3366 for advice or to make an appointment. 

We love nothing more than celebrating Christmas and the end of the year here at Courtney Dental. Last weekend we ate too much, drank too much and had a brilliant time together. Past employees turn up (we've tried but cannot keep Lian away) and Hayley who's still on maternity leave brought her beautiful baby in to say hello. Bernie came dressed ready to party hard. Nicole lost ping pong to Craig twice and had a tantrum. For the first year in a while there wasn't a brawl over the secret Santa gifts, the usual target is the ham supplied by Dave. Rebecca managed to hide it well and take it home with her. Here are a couple of the more internet appropriate photos from our celebrations. Not pictured are the staff that somehow always manage to  hide from the camera. 

Courtney Dental celebrated the Melbourne Cup at the Townsville RSL again this year, the team always has such a fantastic time spending the day together. This year Craig won the in house sweeps, while Jason won 2nd best dressed. 

​Dental x-rays ensure your teeth don’t just look healthy, but they are healthy! They can pick up tiny issues that are invisible to your dentists’ eyes and allow them to see what’s happening beneath the surface.
