Meet your Dental Prosthetist

Leon Belkin, Dental Prosthetist, servicing St Kilda, Elwood, Balaclava,Caulfield & surrounds

Leon Belkin is an accomplished clinician who is just as skilled as he is passionate. His gentle care from start to finish and dedication to getting the right fit in every situation has kept his patients coming back for decades (and their family and friends too!).

Since the humble beginnings of Belkin Dental in 1987, Leon has personally designed thousands of dentures. He continuously seeks out training and development opportunities to incorporate new technologies into his practice.

When he’s not at the practice…

A family man at the core, Leon enjoys spending time with his wife (and partner in crime) Margaret relishing the outdoors. He also dabbles in his other passion, public speaking. Leon has gone on to represent his club in national competitions and even win some awards! An eclectic sense of humour has also found him trying his luck at stand up comedy. Although his career in comedy hasn’t yet taken off he has now passed the baton onto his new grandson who now has him in fits of laughter!

Qualifications

Prior to immigrating to Australia in the 80s, Leon completed a Dental Technician Diploma. Leon furthered his training by completing his Dental Prosthetist Certificate in 1988, as well as a Certificate in Bridging Partial Denture at RMIT in 1989. Believing that he could offer his patients an even more premium product, Leon returned to RMIT to complete a Certificate in Implant Overdentures in 2010.

Meet the Admin

Margaret, Leon’s wife, has been an integral part of the business, keeping the cogs turning behind the scenes since Belkin Dental’s establishment in 1987. Wearing many hats in the practice, Margaret looks after the administrative and bookkeeping needs of the business, and importantly ensures that the coffee jar is always well stocked!
