Dr. Del graduated from UFF Universidade Federal Fluminense dental school in Brazil in 1992. From 1992 to 1999 he was in private practice in Niteroi Rio de Janeiro focusing on cosmetic dentistry. Because Rio de Janeiro is known as the number one city in the world for cosmetic procedures, there was a high demand for cosmetic dentistry. He also worked as a volunteer at his citys hospital emergency room on weekends. In 1999, he was invited to work for a leading expert in cosmetic dentistry in the Boston area where he worked for two years also lecturing and doing research on new materials, equipment, and techniques related to smile makeovers. In 2001, Dr. Del was invited to work in Santa Barbara and fell in love with this beautiful city, where he opened his own practice in 2003.
Aside from dentistry, Dr. Del enjoys surfing, riding motorcycles, enjoying this beautiful area and spending time with his three dogs, Daisy, Baby, and Hass. On Saturdays, Dr. Del visits the Dobie and Little Paws Rescue in Fillmore, CA to walk adoptable dogs. In fact, thats where he got his newest fur-family addition, the Doberman, Hass.
With a commitment to provide the highest standard of clinical excellence, Dr. Pinho carefully chose a professional dental team sharing his same vision. Each team member has been trained and educated in all aspects of dental care. Our new dental office has been specifically designed and equipped with sophisticated, state-of-the-art, computerized digital x-ray (90% les radiation), laser, cosmetic imaging (before/after), CAD/CAM technology, and tooth whitening equipment.
