Enspire (en-SPIRE) v. to engage and inspire
Enspire Dental is the shared vision of Dr. Lori Brown and Dr. Santine Harlock, each bringing a unique mission to the field of dentistry.
Dr. Brown grew up in central Michigan, where an accident at age 12 led her to need emergency dental care. She still remembers walking down a narrow, dim hallway into a dental office with just five orange plastic chairs and a receptionist behind a glass window. The dentist was clinical and impersonal, methodically fixing her tooth without connection or warmth. Dr. Brown left that day thinking, “There has to be a better way.” Through multiple procedures over the following years, she resolved, “If I were a dentist, I would do things differently.”
Dr. Harlock, raised with strong values in the Ann Arbor community, was encouraged to find her passion and use it to support others. She graduated from Father Gabriel Richard High School, completed her undergraduate studies at Albion College, and returned to Ann Arbor to attend the University of Michigan Dental School, eager to give back to her community through her love for exceptional dental care. Inspired by others, she sought to create a practice centered on helping patients feel their best.
Together, Dr. Brown and Dr. Harlock founded Enspire Dental, each committed to providing personal and exceptional dental care. They’ve curated a skilled, compassionate team dedicated to patient comfort and excellence. United by a shared passion for gentle, cutting-edge dentistry, the Enspire team customizes treatments to meet each patient’s unique needs, setting a new standard for care.
