Dr. Amanda Hyland is the founder of Airway Foundations at Hyland Dental in Mankato, Minnesota. A graduate of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry in 2015, Dr. Hyland has dedicated her career to advancing a comprehensive approach to dentistry that recognizes the important connection between oral health, airway function, sleep, and overall wellness.
Her clinical interests include airway-focused orthodontics, temporomandibular disorders (TMD), sleep-disordered breathing, myofunctional therapy, and pediatric airway development. She is passionate about identifying and addressing the underlying contributors to dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms.
Dr. Hyland has pursued extensive continuing education in airway dentistry, orthodontics, TMD, and sleep medicine. Her advanced training includes an orthodontic mini-residency with Dr. Brock Rondeau, a mini-residency in TMJ and sleep with Dr. Steven Olmos, mentorship with Dr. Daniel Klauer, and specialized training in pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. She has also completed advanced coursework in frenectomy and frenuloplasty, including training with Dr. Soroush Zaghi and Dr. Richard Baxter.
Dr. Hyland believes in an individualized, collaborative approach to patient care. She enjoys working alongside other healthcare professionals to help patients achieve better breathing, improved sleep, optimal oral function, and lasting health.
Outside of the office, Amanda enjoys spending time with her husband and four children, cooking, gardening, and embracing life outdoors. Her passion for family and wellness carries into her professional philosophy: helping people of all ages sleep better, breathe better, and thrive.
