Dr. Michael Thomas Mcclure, DDS

Double Board Certified From the Golden State to the First Coast, Dr. Michael McClure has built a career defined by service, education, and a commitment to excellence in dentistry. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Dr. McClure attended the University of California, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in Physiology. Following college, he entered the United States Navy and served for seven years as a Naval Aviator, flying the P-3 Orion. After completing his initial Navy service, Dr. McClure pursued a career in dentistry at the University of Florida College of Dentistry, graduating Summa Cum Laude in May 2000. He then returned to active duty as a U.S. Navy Dental Officer, serving for an additional five years and completing multiple overseas deployments, including two to the Middle East and one to Djibouti, Africa. Dr. McClure left active duty in 2005 and has practiced dentistry in the Jacksonville area ever since. His commitment to military service, …however, did not end there. In September 2022, he returned to uniform as an officer in the United States Navy Reserve and did retire from the Navy in September 2026, bringing to a close a military career spanning naval aviation, dentistry, active duty, and reserve service. Dr. McClure’s dedication to continuing education has been equally extensive. He has completed more than 2,000 hours of advanced continuing dental education and has earned both Fellowship and Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD), among the organization’s highest professional distinctions. Implant dentistry has been a major focus of Dr. McClure’s advanced training. He has achieved Fellowship, Mastership, and Diplomate status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI), one of the world’s largest professional organizations dedicated to dental implant education. Diplomate status represents the ICOI’s highest level of credentialing and is comparable to board certification in implant dentistry. He has also achieved advanced recognition through the Implant Prosthetic Section of the ICOI. In 2013, following an extensive written and oral examination process, Dr. McClure achieved Board Certification in General Dentistry, a distinction attained by only a small percentage of practicing dentists. Dr. McClure’s additional professional affiliations and accomplishments include membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Dental Association, Florida Academy of General Dentistry, Florida Dental Society of Anesthesiology, American Dental Society of Anesthesiology, and Northeast District Dental Association. He is also a Past President of the Clay County Dental Society and has earned Mastership in the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology’s College of Sedation. Throughout his career, Dr. McClure has combined advanced clinical education with decades of military and professional service. Whether serving his country or caring for his patients, his focus has remained the same: providing knowledgeable, compassionate, and technologically advanced dental care.
