Meet The Team

Nicole Arsenault, RDH, DDS

My name is Nicole Arsenault. Recently my husband, Dan, and I have acquired Dr. Resnick’s practice and joined him and his amazing team. I am a dental hygienist and dentist. In 2005 I graduated dental hygiene school and in 2011 dental school, both from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.

I enjoyed 2 year practicing dental hygiene in my hometown of Sault Ste. Marie Michigan before I went back to U of M to attend dental school. Upon graduation from dental school I did a 1 year internship with Dental Clinics North and Michigan Community Dental Clinics focusing on oral surgery, pediatric dentistry, and general restorative dentistry. After my internship I was hired full time as a staff dentist for Dental Clinics North in Alpena, MI where I worked as a staff dentist providing care for the underserved population for 9 years. I loved providing care for these people, but I felt I needed to expand the scope of my dental practice.

During the winter of 2022 I began communicating with Dr. Resnick about joining him and his practice. The more we communicated, the more it seemed we were a great match to join together and practice dentistry. June 2022 I came aboard to join Dr. Resnick and his team and it has been so much fun! I am enjoying a much broader freedom to practice dentistry in a greater scope that I feel can help people in a more substantial way. I strive to improve my patients' quality of life by the services I provide for them.

Now that I have more freedom in the scope of my practice I hope to give back by helping provide Northern Michigan with frenectomy releases (because of tongue and lip ties). I have two sons that both struggled early in life because of issues with tongue/lip ties. I currently triage children and educate parents about issues that can occur with tongue and lip ties and create awareness about the importance of the airway in developing children. I plan to expand my education and make connections with IBCLCs (International Board Certified Lactation Consult) to perform frenectomies with a laser to help moms and babies with breastfeeding or any other issues they are having associated with ties.

I have three young children, Rachel (born 2016), Luke (born 2018), and Walter (born 2020) and a wonderful husband, Dan, who has been very helpful and instrumental with planning and behind the scenes work in the practice. I love spending time with my family, really doing anything, but we love being active, doing anything outdoors, walking, hiking, biking, campfires, and boating in the summer. We also love sledding and skiing outdoors in the winter and movies and reading by the fire indoors in the winter.

Gregg Resnick, DDS

With almost 30 years experience, Dr. Resnick has become an expert at dentistry. He is especially proud of the cosmetic and orthodontic work he has done. After growing up in Oak Park and West Bloomfield, near Detroit, he attended the University of Michigan, first as an undergraduate, and then at the School of Dentistry. He earned the title Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1984. He went on to practice in Pinconning, then Ann Arbor, with a volunteer experience in Israel in between. He has been practicing in Alpena since 1988. He has been a continuous student, serving as president of the F. B. Vedder Society study group, studying at the prestigious Pankey Institute for Advanced Dental Education and taking many courses every year.

In his free time Dr. Resnick likes reading, hunting, travel, sailboat racing, and staying fit. He is an avid cyclist, pickleball player, and skier. He has completed 2 half marathons, and 4 DALMAC bike rides from Lansing to Mackinaw City. He has two children: Jessica, who lives in Baltimore, and David, who lives in Alpena.  He loves working with Dr. Arsenault, and is loving semi-retirement!  He plans to continue part time for many years.

I am so excited to be a part of the Huron Dental team!  My background includes 25 years as a surgical assistant in oral surgery as well as several years in the front office in general dentistry.  It has been my pleasure taking part in the growth that the previous two years have brought about.  I look forward to MANY more!

 When I am not spending time with my work family, I am the mother of twins (John and  Brittany).  I also have a bonus daughter (in-law) Audra and two AMAZING grandchildren, Tucker and Farrah.  My husband Anthony and I also owns a busy construction business.  When we get time, we love to travel- especially to places with sunny beaches!  I also enjoy reading, cooking, shopping and sleeping!!!  

Megan D'Amour

Registered Dental Hygienist / Front Desk

I knew from a very young age that I wanted to work in the dental field. In high school, I went to the Careerline Tech Center and graduated high school in 2003 with a certification in dental assisting. I wanted to further my education, so I worked as a dental assistant while attending college. I graduated from GRCC in 2008 with a dental hygiene degree. I have loved working with my patients for years and look forward to many more years to come!

I am fortunate enough to work at the front desk at Huron Dental as well as in the clinic setting. I love all aspects of the dental field. Oral health is such an important aspect of the human body!

I was born and raised in Holland, MI (west is best!). From one Great Lake to another, the transition from Holland to Alpena has been pretty great! I have a son, Easton. We love going on walks, watching movies, and playing games! If not at the office, you'll find me at home or volunteering my time... but home is my favorite place to be! :)

Katie McCoy

Front Desk

My name is Kate McCoy and I joined the practice in June of 2021.  I have had a career in dental since 2013.  I have worked most aspects of the office including front office, assisting and even worked in Oral Surgery for a few years.   I am a mom of an amazing 14 yr old son, Douglas, 2 kitties, Alfred and Priscilla and 1 doggo Artemis.  I am originally from the Alpena area, lived in Traverse City for 20 years and currently reside out in Lincoln with my boyfriend Jason, Dougie and the fur babies. 

I enjoy reading, being outdoors, sports, watching or listening to anything about true crime and visiting haunted or mysterious places.  I am a self proclaimed Karaoke Queen and a HUGE Red Wings fan.  

The thing I love most about my job is seeing all of the patients and creating a relationship with them.  I would say the most rewarding job is seeing everyone smile or be comfortable and confident when they leave here!  Hope to see you soon!
