With a passion for creating healthy, confident smiles, Dr. Mullen combines advanced orthodontic techniques with a patient-centered approach to deliver exceptional care for children, teens, and adults throughout Ventura County.
Dr. Mullen earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Management from Brigham Young University before pursuing advanced dental training at the prestigious UCLA School of Dentistry.

Having practiced in Ventura County for the past two years and previously serving patients in West Los Angeles, Dr. Mullen has helped hundreds of individuals achieve beautiful, functional smiles through modern orthodontic treatment options. He is particularly excited about advancements in orthodontic technology, including Direct Printed Aligners, which allow for more precise and efficient treatment planning.
As an orthodontist, Dr. Mullen has a special appreciation for the upper central incisors—the front teeth that play a critical role in smile design and facial aesthetics. His attention to detail and focus on creating balanced, natural-looking smiles make him a trusted provider for patients seeking braces, clear aligners, and comprehensive orthodontic care in Camarillo.
Inspired by his father, who was also a dentist, Dr. Mullen chose dentistry as a way to use his talents to improve the lives of others. Today, he continues that legacy by helping patients build confidence through healthy smiles and personalized orthodontic treatment.
Outside the office, Dr. Mullen is a devoted husband and proud father of four children. He enjoys spending time with his family, exploring new places, and sharing his love of learning. Having lived in the Czech Republic for two years, he speaks Czech and values connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. When he’s not creating smiles, you might find him enjoying Japanese cuisine, watching home renovation shows, playing Settlers of Catan, or revisiting classics like The Lord of the Rings.
