Doctor Gregory Moore is a second-generation dentist with more than 4 decades of experience. He believes dentistry is a too-often overlooked but vital building block for overall health and welfare. A Rockhampton local through and through, Greg attended St Anthony’s Catholic Primary School and St Stanislaus College, which has since been renamed as Emmaus, before moving to study dentistry at the University of Queensland in Brisbane. After graduating with honours, Dr Moore spent 3 years practicing for Queensland Health in Mackay, but soon returned to his hometown to join his father’s Dental Practice which had a history going back to 1962. He joined Dr Terry Moore’s Dental Practice in William Street at the end of 1983, and in 1989 they established a branch practice in Mt Archer Medical Centre. Dr Terry Moore retired in 1995, after an impressive career. Greg’s practice has moved since then, and now resides on Dean Street in Frenchville, in state-of-the-art facilities. The precinct is a hub of health care services, ideal for local residents. Dr Moore has also devoted his time in leadership roles for the dental industry, including being appointed Queensland President of the Australian Dental Association in 2009. His continuing dedication to all things dental was recognised, with him being invited to join various honour organisations of the profession. He’s a member of the following eminent groups – the International College of Dentists, the Academy of Dentists International, and the Pierre Fauchard Academy. Locally, Dr Moore’s reputation as a well-loved family dentist is only heightened by his talent for making balloon animals for shy children.
