Our Mission

Dr. Mullen’s mission centers on making dental care something patients actually look forward to rather than dread.

At Maison Dental Studio, he’s created a vibrant, modern environment incorporating the latest technology while maintaining the personal touch making patients feel valued and heard.

He takes pride in educating patients about their oral health, showing x-rays and images on chairside monitors, explaining treatment options thoroughly, and ensuring everyone understands the rationale behind recommendations. Dr. Mullen doesn’t believe in talking down to patients; instead, he views dental care as a collaborative effort where patients and providers work together toward common goals of optimal oral health.

As a Fellow of the International College of Oral Implantology, Dr. Mullen maintains the highest standards of clinical excellence. His commitment to continuous learning ensures patients benefit from the latest advances in dental materials, techniques, and technologies. Whether performing single tooth implants, full arch restorations, or cosmetic enhancements, Dr. Mullen brings precision, artistry, and genuine care to every procedure.

Dr. Mullen’s partnership with Dr. Murray allows them to collaborate on complex cases, bringing their combined knowledge to develop optimal treatment plans for patients. This team approach means you benefit from two highly trained doctors consulting on your care, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
