Mount Royal Dental is led by Dr. Camille Zelen, RN, DDS, AAACD, one of only a few hundred dentists worldwide accredited by the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Since 2013, Duluth families have come here for everyday care, Invisalign, cosmetic work, and airway dentistry.
Mount Royal Dental is a family and cosmetic dental practice at 1624 Woodland Avenue in Duluth, Minnesota, at the corner of Woodland and St. Marie. The practice opened in 2013 and treats patients of every age, from infant tongue tie releases to Invisalign, veneers, implants, and sedation dentistry. It is led by Dr. Camille Zelen, RN, DDS, AAACD, who serves on the AACD Board of Directors and evaluates accreditation cases.
This one starts in a hospital, runs through a swimming scholarship and a dental school in Omaha, and ends up in a building at the corner of Woodland and St. Marie.
Dr. Zelen finishes nursing school at the University of North Dakota and spends nearly four years in interventional cardiology. She still screens patients like a nurse.
DDS from Creighton University. One year in Omaha, then a move north in 2009 to the town she and Dan would raise four boys in.

Cases submitted, judged anonymously by the leaders in cosmetic dentistry, and passed. She now serves on the AACD Board of Directors and evaluates accreditation cases.
Dr. Zelen says: "It was a natural extension of our cosmetic dentistry. As a nurse, I was very comfortable doing injections outside of the mouth." Synergy Aesthetics opened at 1610 Woodland Avenue in 2023.

Restorative dentistryOne plan that rebuilds worn, broken, or missing teeth together, so your bite and your smile work as one.
Full mouth rehabilitationAny dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist. There is no license for it. Accreditation through the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry is different. A dentist submits real patient cases, and leaders in cosmetic dentistry review them anonymously against strict standards for both the beauty and the health of the teeth.
Dr. Zelen earned that accreditation in 2021, serves on the AACD Board of Directors and evaluates accreditation cases.
"Not doing harm and being conservative and protecting tooth structure... work that's going to last them a long time, but look very natural and be very beautiful."Dr. Camille Zelen

Invisalign for adults, teens, and children as young as four, planned by Dr. Camille Zelen, RN, DDS, AAACD, an Invisalign Platinum Provider. Growing patients can start with Invisalign First or the removable Invisalign Palatal Expander.
Because Dr. Zelen is also an accredited cosmetic dentist, alignment is planned with the final smile in mind.
Mouth breathing, snoring, a narrow palate, and a tongue tie all shape how a child grows and how an adult sleeps. Mount Royal Dental treats airway problems from infancy through adulthood, and midwives, doulas, and lactation consultants across the Northland refer new families here.
Trained through The Breathe Institute, Tongue-Tied Academy, and the Infant Frenectomy Protocol. Dr. Zelen is a founding member of the ASAP Pathway (Airway, Sleep and Pediatrics).
