For as long as she has been alive, Dr. Hardy has been immersed in the world of dentistry. Dr. Hardy received her Bachelor of Science in biology from Wake Forest University, graduating magna cum laude. She was also inducted into Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.  After undergrad, she was torn between deciding to become a heart surgeon or a dentist, but upon attending the Medical Education Development Program, the choice became clear.

With the completion of her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2007 from her father’s alma mater, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with distinction, she started practicing dentistry with her father in NC. Her focus in treating obstructive sleep apnea and snoring inspired her to add oral sleep appliances to her extensive repertoire of treatment. She understands that functionality of the dental prosthetics she offers is essential for her patients and this is reflected in the work she does.

Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Hardy was offered to participate in an outreach program in Mexico. Today, her fluency helps her to serve even more of her community and connect with patients from a variety of backgrounds.

Dr. Hardy understands that sometimes walking into an office can be intimidating; this is why she takes time to ensure that the patient feels at peace during their appointment and leaves satisfied and with a better conception of their overall health.

Dr. Alecia Hardy works with diligence to engage each patient on a personal level and to reassure them that good health habits make a huge difference in their overall wellbeing. She is always looking for the best ways and alternative options for her patients to have at their disposal, which is why she has integrated Sleep Apnea and snore appliances into her treatment.
