Rethinking the Dental Chair

For a lot of people, going to the dentist has always been pretty straightforward: fix the tooth, handle the issue, move on. And for some, that works just fine. But for others—especially those dealing with bigger health concerns—it can start to feel like something’s being missed.

World Class Dentistry works from a very different perspective: your mouth isn’t separate from the rest of your body.

“Traditional dentistry often centers on teeth and gums,” says founder Dr. Jill Morris. “We look beyond symptoms to understand how oral health connects to overall health. It’s about supporting the whole body.”

That shift matters, especially for patients who’ve been searching for answers. Many come in dealing with chronic issues like Lyme disease or autoimmune conditions, and at some point start to wonder if their oral health could be part of the puzzle.

That’s where the World Class team steps in.

Dr. Sydney Johnson, a holistic and cosmetic dentist currently advancing her training in naturopathy and biologic dentistry, often helps patients address one of the most overlooked stressors on the body: old mercury amalgam fillings. “These materials are neurotoxic and can place a significant burden on the body,” she says.

But removing them isn’t a quick swap. Safe removal requires specialized protocols—advanced technology, protective barriers, and a highly trained team—to minimize exposure and support the body along the way. From there, treatments like ozone and laser therapy can help reduce infection and encourage healing, often without more invasive procedures.

That same root-cause mindset carries into orthodontics. Dr. Cameron Johnson looks beyond straight teeth to how the jaw develops—and how well a patient is actually breathing.

“When a child’s airway is compromised, it can affect everything from jaw growth to brain development,” he explains. Mouth breathing, tongue ties, even chronic allergies can show up as snoring, trouble focusing, or behaviors often labeled as ADHD.

Using advanced imaging and a comprehensive exam, he evaluates the full picture—airway, tongue position, movement—not just alignment.

It’s a different kind of dentistry. One that asks better questions first.

And it’s very much a family approach. Drs. Cameron and Sydney Johnson grew up in this philosophy, shaped by their mother, Dr. Morris, and their father, dental surgeon and naturopath Dr. Burr Bakke.

Because here, the goal isn’t just a better smile.

It’s a healthier patient.
