Tampa TMJ
At Tampa TMJ, founder and clinical director Dr. Doraida Leon has created more than a dental practice; it’s a sanctuary where science meets compassion and patients rediscover comfort, confidence, and peace.
Born in Cuba and fluent in both English and Spanish, Dr. Leon brings an artist’s touch and a healer’s heart to every aspect of her care. With two decades of dedicated experience in facial harmony, jaw health, and airway restoration, Dr. Leon embodies one of Tampa Bay’s most trusted voices in modern dentistry.
“Healing begins when patients feel truly heard,” she says. “When we listen deeply, we treat not just the symptoms, but the person.”
Dr. Leon earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from the University of Pittsburgh, completed an AEGD residency at the University of Florida, and received a specialty certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from Jacksonville University. She later advanced her expertise in Temporomandibular Disorders and Orofacial Pain at UCLA, shaping the whole-body philosophy that defines her approach to care.
At Tampa TMJ, Dr. Leon utilizes advanced modalities such as PRF/PRP regenerative therapy, TMJ Botox, and precision-fitted TMJ appliances, along with a variety of other TMJ treatments, to deliver individualized care for each patient. She is also among the very few practitioners in Florida offering comprehensive TMJ rehabilitation for accident and personal injury patients. Her approach blends advanced innovation with genuine compassion, reflecting her deep commitment to patient-centered healing.
Through her work at Tampa TMJ, Dr. Doraida Leon continues to uplift her patients and her community—one smile, one story, and one restored life at a time.
