Meet Dr Hartrick

Born and raised in a well-respected Royal Oak, Michigan family, and following highly successful high school years, Dr. Nancy Hartrick continued her education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor for eight years.

She graduated with distinction and a degree in Nutritional Science, which was recognized from both the college of Literature Science and the Arts and the Public Health School in 1977. Dr. Hartrick went on to further her studies at the University of Michigan Dental School, which at the time was number one in the country, where she graduated in 1981.

She has actively practiced dentistry and passionately pursued continuing education ever since her graduation. After practicing in Sterling Heights and Drayton Plains, MI, Dr. Hartrick returned to Royal Oak in 1988 where she established a Royal Oak practice dedicated to providing the highest degree of excellent, comprehensive, cosmetic and general dental care in a relaxed and pain free atmosphere. With the support and commitment of her friendly, well- trained team and her extensive continuing education, Dr. Hartrick is able to provide an exceptional level of cosmetic and complex dental care that improves a patient’s health, ability to chew and function, and enhances their looks. She does this in a way that puts her patients at ease and actually relaxes them. Laughter is the sound commonly heard emanating from her treatment rooms.

Dr. Hartrick is very sensitive to the patient experience and the level of care and excellence required at each step. She recently renovated her conveniently located, charming, historical building. It has a relaxing, friendly atmosphere where patients are always greeted with a recognizable smile and an offering of hot and cold beverages. It also provides technologically advanced procedures with professional expertise and supporting equipment to make it a state-of-the-art dental care treatment facility.

Dedicated, dynamic, positive and patient partially describe Dr. Hartrick and may begin to explain how she can work full time providing extraordinary care, participate in continuing her education at least twice per month, remain an active part in the lives of her two children, and pursue outside interests. She has a passion for life and enhancing the lives of those around her. Professionally, she has completed studies at the Dawson Center for Advanced Dental Studies in Florida, the LSU Cosmetic Continuum in Louisiana, the Center for Advanced Dental Education with Dr. Robert Margeas in Iowa, the Prosthetic Program at the Misch International Implant Institute in Michigan, and the Kois Center in Seattle Washington to name a few. She has also studied at the Pacific Aesthetic Continuum [PAC-Live] and taken numerous courses both hands-on and lecture in implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, advanced restorative, treatment planning, leadership and many other phases of dental care and patient treatment. In fact, Dr. Hartrick usually participates in at least 150 credit hours of continuing education per year; well over the 25 hours required in Michigan.
