Meet the Team
Richard S. Gray, DDS Owner
Dr. Ricky Gray received his undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University where he met and married his wife, Brittany. He remained at Ohio State to obtain his Doctor of Dental Surgery, graduating in 2018 with the highest academic honors. The Grays bleed Scarlet and Gray (Go Bucks!). They have three beautiful children– Ruth, Gabriel, and Magnolia. Though they are transplants to the area, Currituck and the surrounding area mean so much to the Gray family. They feel that the beautiful coastal scenery and the kind-hearted, compassionate people that live here have created the perfect environment in which to raise their family and experience joy in life. Dr. Gray loves seeing his patients smile not just at Currituck Dental but also when he sees them at the YMCA, the golf course, school and sporting events for his kids, his church community, and his favorite local restaurants. Dr. Gray’s professional ambition is for Currituck Dental to be a place the people of this community can be proud to call their dental home. As a kid growing up, a dentist was always somebody he associated with pain, anxiety, and judgment. Dr. Gray finds happiness in his career by instead trying to achieve the opposite of that. He believes that every patient deserves to be cared for with respect and dignity and to experience healthcare in an environment where they feel comfortable, safe, and listened to. While he of course prides himself in being an excellent and precise clinician, being told he is gentle, patient, and kind are the compliments he appreciates the most.
Kaleb C. Thompson, DMD, Owner
Dr. Kaleb Thompson is originally from Utah, but moved to North Carolina in 2016. He's excited to have moved to North Carolina for its beauty and plans to establish a home with land. Dr. Thompson's background has given him extensive experience and knowledge in complex procedures. Such procedures include CAD/CAM, root canals, dental extractions, implants, dentures, pediatric care and more. Having seen the pressing need to serve the growing communities of Northeast North Carolina over the years, Dr. Thompson works hard to meet the needs of the growing communities. In his pursuit of serving the community as efficiently as possible, Dr. Thompson is fluent in Spanish in order to provide clear communication for as many patients has possible. He hopes to utilize all of these skills here in the Moyock office and will continue to uphold the practice philosophy of providing the highest quality of care in a gentle and efficient fashion in doing so.
