Creating Perfect Smiles Since 1990

Welcome to Mark J. Mele, DMD, conveniently located on Mt Carmel Ave C, Glenside, PA 19038. Complementary private parking for our business includes handicap zones and protection from street traffic.

Here, our professionals know that dental health is not just about white smiles: it’s about having strong teeth and healthy gums. Our mission is to help our patients accomplish these goals in a pain free manner.

We aim to educate our patients in a safe environment, while offering them necessary comprehensive care, combining the latest technology along with traditional techniques.
