Helping Patients Breathe, Sleep, and Heal

About More Than Teeth

At More Than Teeth, we believe that true healthcare transformation begins where most overlook—the mouth. Our mission is to revolutionize how healthcare professionals approach patient wellness by recognizing that oral health is not isolated but intricately connected to the entire body's well being.

Michael Bennett, DDS, PhD is dedicated to encouraging all healthcare colleagues to screen their patients for sleep disorders and other systemic conditions that manifest in oral health indicators. By identifying these critical connections, we can help patients achieve better sleep, improved breathing, enhanced nutrition, and ultimately, a higher quality of life.

Our vision is a healthcare system where every professional, regardless of specialty, contributes to reducing suffering, preventing disease, and treating existing conditions through a holistic approach that recognizes the mouth as a window to overall health.

Mission

At More Than Teeth, our mission is to awaken individuals, families, and healthcare professionals to the truth that health begins in the mouth—through breath, sleep, nourishment, and alignment with the body’s innate healing capacities.

We educate, coach, and advocate for a better healthcare model: one that is proactive, personal, scientifically sound, and spiritually grounded. By promoting airway and sleep health as the gateway to whole-body healing, we aim to prevent disease, restore vitality, and inspire generational change.

Vision

We envision a global health movement where healing begins in the mouth—and expands to every system of the body. A world where families, clinicians, and communities understand that proper breathing, regenerative sleep, and nourishment aligned with the body’s divine design are the foundations of lifelong wellness. In this new model, health is not managed—it is awakened. Through faith, science, and collaboration, we see a future where self-healing becomes the norm, and the next generation grows up thriving.

This discovery led him to earn his MAGD, complete advanced residencies, and run a specialty clinic treating sleep and airway conditions.
