Enspire (en-SPIRE) v. to engage and inspire

Enspire Dental is the combined vision of Dr. Lori Brown and Dr. Santine Harlock, who each entered the field of Dentistry with a unique mission.

Dr. Brown was growing up in central Michigan when, at 12, she fell off her skateboard and sustained an injury that led her to need some emergency dental work. She still remembers walking down the narrow, dark hallway to a dental office where a receptionist sat behind a glass window and the paltry waiting room contained just five orange plastic chairs. The dentist who treated her that day was clinical and impersonal, methodically fixing her tooth and sending her on her way. She remembers leaving that day thinking, “there has to be a better way.” The next four years brought more procedures and tooth restorations, each time leaving Dr. Brown thinking, “If I were a dentist, I would do things differently.”

Dr. Harlock has spent most of her life embedded in the Ann Arbor community, where she was raised with a strong system of values, the biggest of which being to find your passion and use it to support the community that supports you. She graduated from Father Gabriel Richard High School, then went on to Albion for her undergraduate degree before returning to Ann Arbor to attend the University of Michigan Dental School so that she could give back to her community through her passion for providing exceptional dental care. Continuously inspired by others, she set out to give back to her community with a vison of providing exceptional care to help others feel their best.

Dr. Brown and Dr. Harlock came together, each with their own unique mission for providing personal, exceptional dental care and thus Enspire Dental was born. Together, they have curated a talented and experienced team of unique individuals, best characterized by their heartfelt commitment to outstanding patient comfort and care above all else. Further united by shared passion for providing cutting-edge, gentle dentistry, the entire Enspire team excels in going above and beyond to custom-design treatment to fit every patient’s unique needs.
