Most of us dread the dentist—awkward chairs, painful pokes, rushed cleanings. But what if oral care could be completely reimagined?

Dr. Jonathan Levine, world-renowned prosthodontist and founder of Smile House, joins Get Well Better to explain why your mouth may be the most overlooked key to whole-body health—and how dentistry is becoming more high-tech, holistic, and human-centered than ever.

From porcelain veneers to “mouth mapping” and microbiome testing, Dr. Levine breaks down how oral health connects to inflammation, longevity, and even brain function. He and host Chloe Harrouche explore the four pillars of oral wellness, the link between gum disease and chronic illness, and why your toothbrush, toothpaste, and tongue scraper matter more than you think.

They also dive into how Smile House is redefining the dental experience through digital smile design, 3D imaging, and collaborative care that treats the whole person—not just their teeth.

This episode is sponsored by Smile House, founded by Dr. Jonathan Levine—America’s leading oral health expert. Smile House is NYC’s go-to wellness destination where dental and functional health come together to help you live a longer, healthier, and more vibrant life.
