Meet Dr. Madelyne
Dr. Madelyne Salo leads the Manhattan Beach Dental Center, a full-service private practice for General and Cosmetic Dentistry in the South Bay of Los Angeles. She is also the co-founder of Salo & Salo, a full-service, multi-specialty private practice in the Miracle Mile district of Los Angeles, which she leads with her father, Dr. Dean Salo.
Dr. Madelyne Salo is a Los Angeles native and second-generation dentist building a new sort of dental practice – a practice centered on the patient as a whole person. Her work is driven by the principle that oral health and dental health are interconnected with all other areas of health, from the digestive processes to the manifestations of aging. Maintaining optimal dental health and hygiene depends on more than just an occasional trip to the dentist. It’s part of a larger mindset, one essential element in an all-around healthy lifestyle.
Loves her patients
When she works with her patients, Dr. Madelyne provides one-on-one attention and pays careful, well-informed consideration to more than just their teeth. She provides not just first-rate dental care, but also the information and resources they need to get the most from their dental visits and better maintain their health on their own.
Her checkups are thorough and comprehensive, with a special emphasis on detecting oral cancer in its earliest stages, when it’s at its most treatable. As part of a new generation of dentists, she makes use of cutting-edge technologies. These range from 3D scanners and printers, facilitating new levels of detail for crowns and night guards, to new probiotics that open new avenues for treatment and ongoing maintenance, to state-of-the-art video equipment. Dr. Madelyne gives all her patients access to the most precise, personalized, and modern treatment options, tools, and technologies available.
Her work is not just highly detailed and advanced; it’s comprehensive, as well. Dr. Madelyne’s practice serves as a one-stop, full-service hub for every aspect of oral and dental health and hygiene. Her realms of expertise are broad and include cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, pediatrics, and orthodontics. If specific issues or concerns arise, she provides patients with access to any specialists or special services they might need, all within her own team.
Gentle Hands
Most importantly, she uses her rapport-building skills and her emphasis on community to nurture strong, long-term relationships with her patients. Dr. Madelyne and her team make special considerations to ensure that they have everything they need not just for great results, but for maximum confidence and comfort during their procedures and beyond. Patients with dental anxiety have access to nitrous oxide, prescription medication, as well as highly skilled dental anesthesiologists when necessary. She gives her patients access to a range of resources that empower them to take charge of their health on their own terms.
Through hands-on experience alongside experts and mentors, Dr. Madelyne came to appreciate firsthand the importance of teamwork in dentistry. At UCLA, she participated in an independent study project at UCLA School of Dentistry, where she invested herself in understanding head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. This honed her ability to conduct independent research and deepened her appreciation for the importance of collaboration. At University of the Pacific, Arthur Dugoni School of Dentistry, she deepend her patient-centered approach to her work, driven by wide-ranging curiosity and her strong desire to give back to her community.
Community Engaged
From her formative years, Dr. Madelyne has refined her holistic approach, combining her interest in the science of dentistry with her artistic pursuits, such as creating intricate jewelry and stained-glass art, and her natural gifts in building strong relationships and participating actively and generously in her community, developed through years of volunteer civic work. She was an active member of Kappa Alpha Theta as well as Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) Honor Society and remains an active alumnus, as well as participates in many volunteer opportunities, including educating children on the importance of dentistry and dental care. While at dental school, Dr. Madelyne was the President of Alpha Omega International Dental Society, and was awarded an Outstanding Achievement Award for both Clinical and Academic Strengths in Implant Dentistry. She also won a first-place award for OKU Honor Society for outstanding clinical presentation in implant dentistry.
She brings her hometown, family- and community- anchored approach to her own practice at Manhattan Beach Dental Center. It’s a place where technology meets tradition, lifelong learning and relationships are fostered, and a holistic, empowered approach is brought to life with bright new smiles that start from the heart.
Dr. Madelyne is a current member of the American Dental Association, Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) Honor Society, California Dental Association, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, International Congress of Oral Implantologists, International Team for Implantology and the Alpha Omega International Dental Fraternity.
