Miss Samantha Leong
BOH (Melbourne)
North Melbourne and North Balwyn
As a dedicated Oral Health Therapist with a growing expertise in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Samantha is committed to delivering comprehensive, patient-centred care that embraces a holistic approach to health.
Graduating with a Bachelor’s degree in Oral Health, Samantha’s career has been driven by her deep passion for helping patients achieve optimal oral health while promoting overall wellness through proactive treatment.
Samantha’s interest in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy began long before she started her clinical practice. While working as a dental assistant, she was intrigued by how the practicing dentist could often identify potential health concerns through seemingly simple questions. This curiosity sparked her desire to explore the connections between oral health and broader systemic issues.
As a practitioner, Samantha found great satisfaction in working with children, visiting childcare centres, and schools to provide dental care. It was here that her passion for preventative orthodontics, sleep and airway concerns, and early intervention solidified. She recognised that many of these issues were prevalent yet under recognised, fuelling her determination to bring awareness and treatment to address them through finding the root cause.
Having completed residencies in Myofunctional Treatment and Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, Samantha remains committed to continuous learning and expanding her skills in this dynamic and evolving field.
Samantha believes that achieving functional health and well-being should not be a daunting or painful process, but rather a comfortable and empowering journey. Through her work at The Myofunctional Centre, she is able to combine her passion for preventative care with her expertise in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy, helping patients achieve functional health, enhanced well-being, and long-term wellness.
