Dr. Madelyne Salo is a cosmetic dentist, educator, and second-generation practitioner specializing in oral health, aesthetics, and restorative dentistry.
After years of treating patients in cases where the health, function, and longevity of a smile depend on meticulous care, she became increasingly focused on the role daily oral care products play in long-term outcomes. This inspired a deeper exploration of ingredient science and preventive oral health.
Drawing from her clinical experience, Dr. Salo created Salo to bring the same level of rigor and attention to detail found in modern dentistry to the products used every day.
Today, she treats patients in Los Angeles.
The story behind the standard.
Madelyne grew up around her father's dental practice, watching him work as a dental surgeon. Long before she chose dentistry for herself, she saw the precision, judgment, and responsibility the profession demanded.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of the Pacific, building the clinical and technical foundation that would later shape her own approach to patient care.
Madelyne opened her cosmetic and restorative dental practice in Manhattan Beach, specializing in veneers, restorations, and full-mouth rehabilitation. Her work requires both technical precision and a deep understanding of aesthetics.
She later joined the clinical faculty at NYU College of Dentistry, where she helps train the next generation of dentists in the aesthetic principles she applies in her own practice.
Madelyne co-founded Salo after identifying a gap in her own practice. Salo brings together her clinical experience, aesthetic standards, and belief that daily oral care deserves more.
Maddy's belief is that the best results come from supporting the body's own biology, never overriding it. It is the principle behind every Salo formula, and the reason the line reads more like considered skincare than conventional oral care.
