For patients who need a clearer next step with CPAP intolerance, jaw pain, clenching, facial tension, or sleep-related dental concerns.
Trusted by physicians, dentists, ENTs, and sleep specialists across Utah County.
If your doctor, dentist, ENT, sleep physician, or another provider sent you here, it usually means your symptoms are getting in the way — of sleep, of comfort, of how you feel during the day. You may have already tried options that did not work the way you hoped, and your provider believes a focused evaluation could help you find a better path forward.
Patients are often referred to Advanced Dental Care when:
You are not starting over. You are getting another set of clinical eyes on a problem that deserves a clear answer.
We focus on the areas where dentistry, sleep, and jaw function overlap — and where patients often feel stuck between specialties.
If your concern is not on this list but feels related, it is still worth a conversation.
Collaborative care for sleep, TMJ, and jaw function.
Dr. Mike Bennett leads Advanced Dental Care in Provo and works closely with physicians, dentists, and specialists across Utah County. His focus is straightforward: help patients who are dealing with sleep, jaw, and bite-related concerns find a practical next step — and keep referring providers in the loop along the way.
Patients describe him as approachable and clear. Referring providers describe him as collaborative, responsive, and grounded in conservative care. He does not push aggressive treatment plans, and he does not replace the role of a sleep physician, ENT, or primary care provider. He fills a specific gap: the dental side of sleep, TMJ, and jaw function — explained in plain language, with options that fit the patient in front of him.
Hosted by Dr. Bennett, More Than Teeth explores the connections between airway, sleep, jaw function, and whole-body health — through the patients, parents, and providers who have walked through it.

Real change rarely starts with a quick fix. Eric Eberly shares the turning point — when staying the same became harder than moving forward — and what conservative, airway-focused care looked like along the way.

Time set aside to understand your symptoms, history, and goals.
Where appropriate, including for CPAP-intolerant patients.
Assessing pain, range of motion, and bite-related factors.
Clear options, no pressure, no rush.
Where clinically relevant for jaw tension or clenching.
So your full care team stays aligned.
The goal is not a long list of procedures. The goal is a clear recommendation you and your provider can act on.

Dr. Bennett values clear communication back to the referring office. You can expect a focused evaluation, a clear written summary when appropriate, and a conservative approach that respects the care you have already provided.
To refer a patient: Call (801) 375-1414 or have your patient scan the referral card. We are happy to set up a brief call if you would like to talk through a specific case.
No. A referral is helpful context, but you are welcome to request an appointment on your own.
That is completely fine. We focus specifically on sleep, TMJ, and jaw concerns, and we do not replace your general dentist. We are happy to coordinate so your regular care continues uninterrupted.
No. Dr. Bennett does not diagnose sleep disorders or replace the role of a sleep physician. He works alongside your sleep doctor to address the dental side of sleep — most often when an oral appliance may be appropriate or when CPAP has been difficult to tolerate.
Often, yes. CPAP intolerance is one of the most common reasons patients are referred to us. We can evaluate whether oral appliance therapy may be an appropriate option for your situation and coordinate with your sleep physician.
An oral appliance is a custom-fit device worn during sleep, similar to a retainer, that helps support the airway. It is one possible alternative or complement to CPAP for certain patients. Whether it is appropriate depends on your diagnosis, anatomy, and your sleep physician's input.
In many cases, yes. Our approach starts with the least invasive options that fit your situation. We focus on understanding the cause first, then recommending care that matches the severity of what you are experiencing.
No. Therapeutic Botox is one option we may discuss when clinically relevant — typically for jaw tension or clenching — but it is never assumed or required. Many patients are helped without it.
