Dr. Jess Mustelier: Why I Became a Dentist in Coral Gables

Neil Herzog • April 12, 2024

In my journey to becoming a dentist, the core inspiration has always been the belief that everyone deserves a smile that not only radiates confidence but also encapsulates their essence. Working as a general dentist at the Implant Center of Coral Gables, I've had the privilege to focus on dental implants and cosmetics, areas that I find deeply fulfilling. My journey in dentistry over the past four years has been driven by a lifelong fascination with smiles and a keen awareness of the profound impact dental well-being can have on an individual's self-esteem and overall quality of life.


I remember noticing from a young age how people's smiles—or their hesitation to smile—could speak volumes. It became clear to me that dental issues were more than just physical ailments; they were barriers to happiness and self-expression. This realization sparked my dedication to dentistry, fueling my passion for helping patients achieve the perfect smile they've always dreamed of. It's heartbreaking to see someone suppress their joy or laughter because they're ashamed of their teeth, and I committed myself to change that narrative.


The most rewarding aspect of my work is the opportunity to craft unique smiles that reflect each patient's personality, enhancing their confidence and allowing them to express themselves fully without reservations. Many of the patients I encounter come with complex dental histories, often stemming from inadequate care or neglect. These challenges only deepen my commitment to providing personalized, compassionate care, guiding them through their transformation journey.
