He is one of the first dentists to ever give a TEDx talk and the only to host a documentary on dentistry for National Geographic. He is also an adjunct professor at the prestigious UPenn, the University of Pennsylvania in the USA.
Dr. Miguel Stanley is the co-founder of the Slow Dentistry Global Network, a non-profit organisation focused on improving patient experience and safety during a visit to the dentist, with members in over 60 countries. He is the Vice President of the Digital Dentistry Society, as well as a member of many international scientific and academic organisations, and has published several studies and articles over the years. Recognised as a pioneer in clinical implementation in many areas of advanced technology, he is a consultant and key opinion leader for leading companies in the industry. He is the co-founder of Missing Link, the world’s first AI powered communication tool that is bridging the gap between dentists, general practitioners and patients.
Passionate about technology, biological, integrative and functional dentistry and regenerative medicine, Dr. Stanley spends most of his days in the clinic working with his team, actively driving innovation in healthcare, introducing novel concepts and therapies in order to transform and improve the lives of his patients.
