Dr. Joe Lassiter’s Story

I saw what wasn’t helping and committed myself to finding what would.

I’ve always liked figuring things out. As a kid, I’d take apart anything I could get my hands on—engines, farm equipment, even things that weren’t broken yet. I wanted to understand how things really worked. That same drive to get to the root of things stayed with me throughout my life. So when I saw my dad spend years in and out of hospitals, struggling with treatments that only offered temporary fixes—lots of pills, lots of referrals, but no one truly solving the problem—it frustrated me deeply. I knew then that I didn’t want to work that way. I wanted to find real solutions, not just band-aid fixes.

Dentistry was my first step

because it blended mechanics, biology, and problem-solving. Over time, I saw that teeth were just one piece of the puzzle. Patients were showing up tired, in pain, frustrated. They needed someone to actually look at the whole system and explain what was really going on.

That’s why my work focuses on

airway issues, jaw and facial pain, chronic tension, and sleep problems. These are the areas where people feel most ignored, but are where small changes can create big shifts in how they feel and function.

I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans

or sugarcoating what it takes to get better. I lay it out clearly: here’s what we see, here’s what we can do, and here’s what it will take from both of us. If you're ready to take the first step, I'll be here to support you along the way.
