Melo Dental

Our Story:
Three Generations of Dental Excellence

Building trust, one smile at a time since 2004

The Melo Legacy

Twenty years ago, Dr. Emmanuel Melo had a vision: to create a dental practice that would serve families with the same care and dedication he would want for his own loved ones. Opening the doors of Melo Dental along Katipunan Avenue in 2004, he established more than just a clinic—he built a legacy of trust, excellence, and community service.

What started as a small practice with big dreams has grown into one of Quezon City’s most trusted multi-generational dental clinics. Today, Dr. Emmanuel’s daughter, Dr. Sophia Melo, leads the practice with the same values that built our reputation, while his grandson, Dr. Marco Melo, brings the newest generation of expertise to our orthodontic services.
