Vyne Dental Names 2026 Office Manager of the Year

---

Third annual award honors the leadership and dedication that keep dental practices running.

Vyne Dental®, a leading provider of dental revenue technologies and electronic health information exchange solutions, has named Melissa Leinhauser of Dental Health Care Associates Brookhaven the recipient of its third annual Office Manager of the Year award. The 2026 recognition celebrates Melissa’s leadership, innovation, and commitment to supporting her team and the patients they serve.

In their nomination, Melissa’s colleagues described how she empowers her team and helps create a supportive environment for patients. Their recognition reflects the purpose of the award: to spotlight the people whose work makes a difference throughout a dental practice every day.

“Having worked as an office manager myself, I understand how much responsibility these leaders carry and how many people rely on them,” said Steve Roberts, CEO of Vyne Dental. “Office managers are critical to a successful practice. They keep operations moving, support their teams, advocate for patients, and help create the culture that allows everyone to do their best work.”

An office manager’s responsibilities extend well beyond scheduling, billing, and staffing. From managing the revenue cycle and resolving insurance issues to supporting employees and helping patients navigate difficult conversations, office managers connect the operational and human sides of dentistry.

Much of that work happens behind the scenes. A scheduling problem gets resolved before it disrupts the day. A team member receives support when they need it. A patient gets help understanding what comes next. Together, those moments shape the experience of everyone who walks through the practice’s doors.

Now in its third year, the Vyne Dental Office Manager of the Year award brings that often-overlooked contribution into focus. Announced in September, this year’s award recognizes Melissa as an example of the leadership that helps teams thrive and practices succeed.

Vyne Dental thanks everyone who submitted a nomination for the 2026 award. The detailed stories shared by colleagues underscored both the breadth of office managers’ responsibilities and the lasting impact of their work.
