BDS (Otago), MDS (Otago), MRACDS (Ortho), Specialist Orthodontist
Dr Joseph P Geenty is a male Specialist Orthodontist.
Dr Joe Geenty has been the longest running Smile Team specialist orthodontist with 40 years of being a key player in our team. His first step into the dental world was in 1975 when he graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Otago University in New Zealand. Since then, his career has gone from strength to strength.
He spent two years as a Dental Registrar at a provincial hospital before returning to Otago to begin his postgraduate training in orthodontics.
Luckily for us, Dr Geenty made the move to Australia and started his practice in Wollongong in 1981. In 1985, he was appointed part-time Clinical Associate in Orthodontics at Westmead Hospital and in 1993, a Senior Clinical Associate at the University of Sydney.
He has had several original articles published in scientific journals and he regularly lectures to orthodontists and dentists in Australia and overseas. He was the President of the NSW Branch of the Australian Society of Orthodontists in 1999 and 2000.
As if he wasn’t busy enough, in 2008 Dr Geenty was appointed Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney and spends two days a month teaching the orthodontists of tomorrow.
When asked why he has such a strong drive for his passion, he says it’s the fact that orthodontics can make such a difference for people, and he loves nothing more than seeing the effect that difference can have.
