Dr Ralph French, BDSc

Dentist

Dr Ralph French has dedicated over 40 years to helping patients achieve and maintain their dental wellness. Originally from Victoria, he graduated from the University of Queensland in 1980 and began his dental journey working on the Sunshine Coast. After spending time in a Brisbane hospital and practising in the UK for two years, Ralph returned to Australia to join his father, Victor, in their joint dental practice in Brisbane's CBD.

When the Tattersalls Club redeveloped their building, Ralph relocated his practice to Queen Street Mall, where he continued to serve patients for 30 years. With the redevelopment of the NAB building, Ralph embraced a new opportunity, joining the Edward St Dental team. This change has allowed him to continue offering exceptional care while working alongside a passionate and skilled team.

Dr Ralph enjoys the daily variety that general practice offers, finding joy in helping patients understand and improve their oral health. He values the ongoing learning that comes with each day in the field and the collaborative efforts with experienced hygiene and OHT team members to focus on preventive care.

Ralph is an avid learner outside the dental practice, believing, "The more you know, the more you realise you don't know." His hobbies include still-water rowing and participating in dirt car rallies. A fun fact about Ralph is that the doctor of the Hawthorn Football Club delivered him!
