Dr. Samuel Soh
Dr Sam brings with him over a decade of experience in clinical dentistry across Australia. A graduate of the University of Adelaide, his passion for dentistry began early, working as a “little helper” in his father’s dental practice. This early exposure fostered a lifelong commitment to helping people through high-quality dental care. Throughout his career, Dr Sam has practiced in diverse settings, often in remote areas where specialist care was not readily accessible. These experiences have allowed him to develop broad clinical expertise across many fields of dentistry. He is known for his careful, considered, and precise approach to dental treatment, always prioritizing patient comfort and long-term outcomes. Dr. Sam will also be working closely with Dr. Hayder who is sharing his extensive knowledge in implant dentistry. This collaboration will further enhance our practice’s ability to offer advanced treatment options as part of comprehensive dental rehabilitation.
