Professional information

Morven graduated from the University of Glasgow and spent a few years working in NHS practices in Glasgow before making the leap to live in Australia. Following four years working in a private practice in Melbourne, Morven returned to Scotland to apply the high-quality skills she acquired during her chapter there.

Creating those ‘wow’ transformations for patients is what drives Morven’s passion and enthusiasm for cosmetic dentistry. With a particular interest in both Implant dentistry and Orthodontics, Morven can see the difference her dentistry can have on patients’ lives, confidence and self-esteem.

Following her post-graduate Implant qualification with mentoring at the Scottish Centre of Excellence in Dentistry, Morven is currently furthering her knowledge and clinical skill in Implants, studying to achieve the award of Diploma in Implant Dentistry.

Out-with Dentistry on the Clyde, Morven is part of the clinical and mentoring team for Smilefast composite bonding, with the practice being awarded a Centre of Excellence.

Morven also writes a monthly column for Dentistry Magazine titled –‘Implant Insights’ along with attending several events as a member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.

Morven is very grateful for the opportunities to mix her love for travel with her passion for teeth, and has completed charity expeditions in both Tanzania and Morocco.

“Had a fair bit of work done recently, leading up to my son’s wedding. Morven and her team were fantastic and put me at ease every step of the way. All the girls on the desk were very professional and pleasant. Great experience all round.”

Personal information

Morven and her husband Paddy have two young boys, Finn and Eoin, which certainly keep them busy, but provide endless fun and laughter! They love to travel as a family, to the sunshine, but also around Scotland and Ireland. Morven would love to have a campervan one day!

To de-stress, Morven enjoys going to the gym and reading, along with a love for skiing and hiking. Following her chapter in Australia and several trips to the Yarra Valley, Morven developed a love for good wine and enjoys hosting the odd dinner and cocktail party for friends and family. When they can call on a babysitter, Morven and Paddy enjoy eating out around Glasgow, and are always up for some new recommendations!

“Where do I start?! I have almost finished treatment and from back, I think January time, when I first came into contact with them, the service has been nothing short of amazing. From the reception team, to the dental nurses and of course my dentist Morven. I am a nervous patient and from the offset they made me feel relaxed and at ease where I now find myself looking forward to coming in! I can’t thank them enough for giving me my smile and most importantly my confidence back!

Cannot recommend these guys enough!”

This was an emergency appointment as my bridge had come loose. I wasn't able to see my usual dentist but the dentist and nurse who looked after me were super. Removed the old bridge, cleaned it, and refitted it; all painless and really seemed to take a lot of care with the operation. Shout out also for the reception staff who are always really friendly and helpful.

I cannot recommend Dentistry on the Clyde highly enough! From start to finish, my Invisalign journey and general dental care have been nothing short of amazing.As someone who was once a very anxious patient, I never thought I would actually look forward to going to the dentist—but this incredible team has completely changed my perspective. Morven and Yvonne are absolutely wonderful—so professional, caring, and patient. They truly go above and beyond to make every visit comfortable and stress-free.The front desk staff deserve a special mention as well. They are always so warm, friendly, and efficient, which makes every interaction a pleasure.Thanks to their expertise and support, my Invisalign journey has been seamless, and the results have exceeded my expectations. My confidence in my smile and my overall experience with dental care have improved dramatically.If you’re nervous about visiting the dentist or are considering Invisalign, I can’t imagine a better place to go. Dentistry on the Clyde has truly transformed my dental health and my outlook on dentistry. Thank you all for being so fantastic!

What can I say that hasn’t already been said? DOTC amazing staff whom are very welcoming. Morven McCauley was assigned to me as I had a mixture of dental issues. I had lost all confidence in dentists and had major anxiety. During my initial consultation Morven put me at ease and over the next 4 months, not only had she built up my trust and confidence, she also became a miracle worker and gave me back my smile and self confidence. I was dubious about their promise of pain free dentistry but, I can honestly say that the major dental treatment I had over months of visits, it was completely pain free. I highly recommend DOTC you won’t be disappointed. 😊

I really appreciate Morven at Dentistry on the Clyde. After my fixed retainer came off she fitted me in quickly, sorted this for me by replacing it pain free. She put me at ease - I never feel nervous about going to the dentist now as she knows me so well. Always makes time to chat through everything. Back to having my sparkly smile! Thanks!

Was seen promptly today at Dentistry on the Clyde. The dentist was very polite & listened to everything I had to say. He did his best to fix the problem I have with new dentures. He advised me to only wear when eating, keep them out all other times, as gums are sore, this will give gums time to heal.If still having problems, come back & he would his best to sort them.

My over all experience here was a pleasant one. Andrew the dentist was an absolute diamond. He made me feel at ease and listened to me and what I had been through with previous dentist. He could see i was anxious and shaking with fear. But with a calming manner he made me feel at ease. He explained everything what he was going to do and was honest with me and told me what was wrong with my mouth and how it could be sorted. Donna the dental nurse was also amazing, she very professional and was such a lovely person to talk to. Andrew, went above and behond to try and get me the help I needed as I was needing to see a specific orthodontist surgeon to treat my problem. When I phoned the practice firstly, I was greeted my Sarah and she was amazing at her job. All the members who i have mentioned are amazing and are a credit to your practice.

Had an amazing experience with Ross who has a touch of OCD straightened my teeth to perfection and whitened them. Much better service saving my original teeth than ruining healthy gums and seeking Turkey teeth. All pain free efficient and guidance throughout.

Welcoming, friendly, helpful service. Reassuring as well, I'm a nervous patient so it helps me a lot. My dentist, Morven, is great and the dental nurse Yvonne is always friendly and chatty. The immense fear that I had of the dentist has now gone, hopefully for good.

I phoned this morning at 9.00 and was given an appointment with Ross at 09.30.I had never met Ross before. I found him friendly, reassuring and very confident that he could address my problem.He was happy to explain his findings and plan of action.There was no hurry, and at the end of the procedure he was happy to answer any questions.I am on the dental plan and i have alwaysbeen given an appointment within a very short space of time if i experience any difficulties.I also like the fact that you are recognised as a patient at this clinic. Everything is done in a professional, friendly manner. Excellent for any patients who have " dentist anxiety"

Have been a patient here since I was a child ! Always a great experience! Got in touch with the team as I had a tooth that wasn't straight and I was always aware of it. Finally decided to do something about it and the team were fab. Talked me through the process from start to finish, always professional and taking pictures of the ongoing process. I now have a smile that I am confident with ! Big thanks to Ross, Chloe and the team !!

I was recommended by my partner as she had some cosmetic treatment and I must say both Jenn the Smile Consultant and Dr Morven McCauley the cosmetic dentist made me feel at ease and explained all steps and options clearly to make to allow an informed decision.

After seeing several dentists, who all said there was nothing that could be done for my baby teeth, I attended dentistry on the Clyde. They were able to cap my baby teeth to help extend their life. I’ve been a patient now for a number of years and would recommend it to anyone

From the minute I walked in the receptionists made me feel welcome. The place felt modern and the equipment seemed to be more advanced than I’d experienced before. Nial was amazing and throughout my treatment was professional and explained everything. When they say pain free it really is pain free including the hygienist. It’s the first time in long time I’m not conscious about my smile as I feel so much better. It was a great move to here and I’d and have recommend to my friends and family. Thanks

My appointment for a filling, due to receding gums wasn't due until June. But, the nerve pain I was experiencing was incredible, and I can take alot of pain. This was on a different level. I couldn't eat properly nor brush my teeth without the pain radiating all through my mouth and jaws. However, I phoned on the Friday and got an appointment on the Saturday. Morven and her assistant were fantastic. I got a white filling, filling in an area the receding gum. It was pain-free. Absolutely brilliant. Now I can eat without pain, and most importantly, brush my teeth!

I have to be brutally honest. I have one major regret with Dr Morven McCauley and Dentistry on the Clyde. My regret is that I didn’t I bite the bullet sooner and just go ahead and pay the price and solve my teething problems. Morven’s implants have changed my life. They have brough back a confident smile to my happy face and have made wining and dining with my wife, family, and friends a joy again. Morven’s implants and expert dentistry have also impacted my social and business life for the better. Why did I wait so long to do the right thing? I also appreciated the ease of the whole experience. Morven and her staff were warm, caring, and helpful and I loved the state-of-the-art technology. I really appreciated being able to see, and have explained, the exact condition of my teeth and bone structure etc. Nothing was left to chance, no guesswork, just skill and precision using the latest technology. It’s so wonderful just to get on with life again without a second thought about smiling and eating.

Stuart WilsonDentistry on the Clyde – Review 20.2.24Now in my 70th year and with my top teeth failing I feared I was heading for the dreaded full denture. Thankfully I was very fortunate to be referred to Dentistry on the Clyde.There I met with my wonderful Smile Advisor, Chloe who explored my options with me.Subsequently I met with Dr Morven McCauley who specialises in implantology. Instinctively I felt a very reassuring confidence from Morven, I was very sure I was now in the presence of dentistry excellence. Certainly I was not mistaken and thanks to Morven and her team I now have a wonderful new ceramic upper arch fitted onto six implants.All the staff I met at the practice were brilliant, Smile advisor, Chloe, Dental Nurse, Yvonne, Hygienist, Thurga and all the reception staff.Of course, leading this great team is the very wonderful Dr Morven McCauley, whom in my humble opinion is simply the very best dentist I have ever met, I truly believe she is a real ‘Superstar’ in the world of dentistry. All my treatment was completely pain free and I looked forward to each visit.If you are looking for a top dental practice, please look no further. Without reservation I would highly recommend Dentistry on The Clyde.

Dentistry on the Clyde has been a life changer.Originally apprehensive about booking an appointment due negative experiences in the past with my previous dentist, I was quickly put at ease with my dentist, Jack.Jack has been excellent throughout my appointments. He communicated clearly and was very understanding throughout. My hygienist, Thurga, was also excellent - again giving me tips on how I can better look after my teeth.Throughout my time with DOTC, my appointments were scheduled well in advanced and I was able to work my appointments around my career. My teeth are now the best they have ever been and I am no longer apprehensive about going to the dentist. I would highly recommend this dentistry!
