Experience
Dr. Hartman joined the Elite Dental team in 2016. Before joining Elite, she worked in another dental practice and completed a residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. While there, she was a part of many complex cases that involved:
- Root Canal Therapy
- Fixed Prosthodontics
- Removable Prosthodontics
- Cosmetic Dentistry
- Dental Implants
- Oral Surgery
Education
Dr. Hartman earned her degree in Biology, as well as her Doctor of Dental Surgery, from the University of Minnesota.
She has also shown her commitment to continuing education by becoming a Fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry. Only 6 percent of general dentists in the U.S. and Canada are AGD Fellows, and it represents knowledge in the latest techniques and best practices in dentistry. AGD Fellows practice these techniques in a classroom setting multiple times a year -- not every dentist does this.
To become an AGD Fellow, a dentist must:
- Complete over 500 credit hours of continuing education
- Earn 350 of those 500 credits in live courses
- Pass an exam equal in difficulty to board certification exams.
This allows Dr. Hartman to provide exceptional cosmetic and general dentistry to her patients!
