About The Practice
Mission At The Smile Code
Led by Dr. Elisa Mello and Dr. Ramin Tabib, our mission is to blend cutting-edge technology with smile artistry to correct the past, protect your future, and elevate how you look and feel. We redefine dentistry through innovation, precision, and deeply personalized connection—creating experiences where patients feel safe, understood, and confident for life.
About Our Practice
At The Smile Code, you receive the combined expertise of two specialists working as one. Founded in 1995 by partner dentists Dr. Ramin Tabib and Dr. Elisa Mello, our practice brings together decades of specialized training in aesthetic and restorative dentistry—all focused on your unique needs.
What This Means for You
You’ll experience a level of collaborative care that’s rare in dentistry. Because our doctors work as partners, they consult on your treatment in real-time, combining their individual strengths to create optimal results. This teamwork means more precise diagnoses, comprehensive treatment plans, and smile transformations that enhance your natural features.
Our approach is conservative and minimally invasive—we focus on preserving your natural teeth while achieving the aesthetic results you want. Whether you’re addressing a specific concern or pursuing a complete smile transformation, you’ll benefit from:
• Advanced cosmetic and restorative techniques tailored to your facial structure
• Neuromuscular dentistry for lasting comfort and function
• Treatment plans that prioritize your long-term dental health
• Results that boost both your appearance and confidence

Smile Journeys
Hearing from those who have experienced our care first-hand speaks volumes about our practice. Our Smile Transfomation Stories are a testament to the life-changing smiles we have created. These stories highlight our commitment to excellence, personalized care, and the tangible impact of our work on the lives of our clients.
Each review is a story of trust, transformation, and satisfaction. Our clients often speak about the confidence they have gained, the comfort they experienced during their treatments, and the joy of achieving their dream smile. These reviews are not just feedback; they are the narratives of the journeys we have shared with our clients.
Commitment to Community
Great dentistry has the power to change lives—and we believe everyone deserves that opportunity. Each year, we provide comprehensive dental care to individuals who need it most. We work with survivors rebuilding their lives, people overcoming homelessness, and others facing significant barriers to dental care. A healthy smile often opens doors that seemed permanently closed—affecting job interviews, first impressions, and self-worth.
Why This Matters
We’ve seen firsthand how a smile transformation impacts more than appearance. By donating our expertise and resources, we’re not just treating teeth; we’re helping people rewrite their stories and reclaim their confidence.
