Meet Dr. Cléo Salustiano

A path dedicated to smiles

Born in Pernambuco and raised in São Paulo since my first year of life, I carry with me the Northeastern roots that shaped my story: strength, simplicity and determination. At 33, I look back on my path with pride. Becoming a dentist was a dream built with a lot of effort, discipline and the certainty that giving up would never be an option. Resilience and persistence brought me here. In my dental office, I care for each patient with empathy, attention and love for what I do. To me, caring for a smile means caring for a story, for someone's self-esteem and confidence — and they deserve real attention. I believe good care goes beyond technique: it comes from listening, from respect and from a genuine commitment to each person's well-being.

Education and areas of focus

Dr. Cléo earned her degree in Dentistry from Universidade Cidade de São Paulo (UNICID, 2020–2024) and furthered her training with a postgraduate program (Lato Sensu) in Prosthodontics and Restorative Dentistry at Faculdade São Leopoldo Mandic (2025–2026), a nationally recognized dental school in Brazil. Her areas of focus include: • Composite and porcelain veneers — bonding and layering techniques aimed at natural-looking, long-lasting results • Minimally invasive dentistry — preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible • Occlusion and functional rehabilitation — restoring worn smiles with attention to gum health • Individual treatment planning — examination, photos and an explanation of each step before starting, with no promise of results

How I Work: Transparency, Precision and Care

More than a dentist, I am a professional driven by purpose. I built my career with dedication and vision, combining technical knowledge and caring, human-centered treatment into work that respects each patient as unique. As a business owner, I understand that a high-quality dental practice takes more than clinical skill: it requires a commitment to quality, attention to detail and a constant effort to improve. I keep investing in continuing education and in the office itself to offer safe, modern and welcoming care. I lead my work with the same resilience and persistence that marked my path — always focused on what matters most: the health, confidence and well-being of those who trust me with their smile. I believe professionalism and empathy go hand in hand. That combination defines how I handle every appointment and every decision in my practice.
