Beachside Orthodontics

Dr Steve Moate

It is such a privilege and a pleasure to be an Orthodontist in Manly, I really love my job. The opportunity to help create amazing smiles every day is enormously satisfying.
Living and working in the Northern Beaches community allows me the additional enjoyment of seeing our patients going about their lives with renewed confidence and a terrific smile.

I set up Beachside Orthodontics with the aim of becoming the best Orthodontic Practice on the Northern Beaches. We share a determination to set a very high standard of patient care, while maintaining excellent orthodontic skills. The staff at Beachside are the backbone of our practice and they help us maintain these standards, while aiming to set even higher levels of achievement. We are very proud of our staff and the practice that we have created.

I graduated from the University of Sydney in 1992, receiving an Honours Degree in Dentistry. I first worked in Orange, NSW, then as a Flying Dentist in the Northern Territory (servicing the Arnhem Land area), and finally in private practice as a general dentist in Sydney. This work gave me a strong background in all areas of dentistry, allowed me to experience different styles of practice and helped me formulate goals for my own Orthodontic practice.

I completed my training as an Orthodontist in 2001 and have a special interest in early intervention treatment and Invisalign. My thesis on imaging of the face has been published in Australian and American Orthodontic journals.

I am currently a Councillor on the NSW and Australian Society of Orthodontics and I enjoy these roles, as we endeavour to shape the future of our profession.

I am married to Janelle, who is a Veterinarian and we have a son, Henry, and daughter, Anna. We have two dogs (Baz and Boots) and a cat (Rupert) who rule the house. I love the outdoors, especially jogging along the beach and playing touch football, and am an avid fan of the Sydney Swans.
