Why Did You Decide to
Become a Dentist?
Funny enough, becoming a dentist (a profession that he genuinely loves today) was the LAST thing Dr. Moreau wanted to do for his job initially. In his younger years, however, he experienced several facial injuries that involved his teeth and jaws, which gave him a newfound appreciation for what dentists could do to help those in need. His father also gave him a strong push in the direction of oral healthcare because he thought Dr. Moreau was too independent for the military and also too strong-willed to be someone’s employee – and he was right!
Today, Dr. Moreau is proud to be the independent leader of his dental office while still having a soft heart for the people in his care. He also enjoys being a seasoned mentor to those who seek his expertise.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
After completing his initial degree at the University of New Orleans, Dr. Moreau pursued his dental doctorate at the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Today, he is a proud Diplomate of the American Board of Dental Sleep Medicine and a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. He is also eligible for a Fellowship with the International College of Cranio-Mandibular Orthopedics and a current member of the American Dental Association and Louisiana Dental Association. Over the decades, he has remained committed to pursuing continuing education at very opportunity, including courses about laser dentistry, dental implants, oral surgery, prosthetics, root canals, orthodontics, advanced life support, and much more. He considers himself a “Swiss Army Knife” of a dentist!
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Moreau and his wife Julie have been married for over 37 years and have brought four interesting children into the world – two daughters followed by twin sons. Their active family unit enjoys doing lots of traveling, church, and community activities together, with some sports and a lot of camping sprinkled into the mix. They’ll camp, drive, fly, canoe, kayak, hike, zip line, horseback ride, or bike almost anywhere! Although he’s taking a break from flying, Dr. Moreau is a founding member of the Big Easy Wing of the CAF as well and supports the maintenance of WWII Aircraft. He also spends plenty of time hanging out on his pontoon boat.
