About Dr. Leonard Anglis, DDS Someone once asked me when I first decided to become a dentist. She was surprised when I told her that I announced it to my classmates in the first grade as I presented a toothbrushing demonstration. My elementary school Science Fair project involved a dental theme as well. Truthfully, I was preparing throughout my lifetime to become a dentist. After my graduation from Lowell High School, I went to college. It had always been my dream to attend Notre Dame University. In fact, that was the only university to which I applied. Shortly after I received my acceptance letter, I went with my friend to visit his brother at Wabash College. After a second trip to Wabash, I knew it was really the place for me and my plans changed drastically. Upon the completion of three years at Wabash College, I was accepted one year early into Loyola University Dental School. I was honored to graduate Magna Cum Laude in 1979. I spent the following year at University of Chicago in a residency program as I tried to select a speciality program. My decision was that I could not limit my practice to only a small part of dentistry. I planned to open a very exclusive dental practice on Michigan Avenue in Chicago. There was one small problem with this plan...during my residency program, I came back to work with my dad on Saturdays in Lowell. I loved the people of Northwest Indiana so much that I decided to come back home. I am very grateful to have made these decisions with no regrets. During the 1980's, I became very interested in the renewal of Implant Dentistry. In 1992, I embarked on a one year training program with the world famous implant dentist, Dr. Carl Misch. This training coupled with many years of experience has allowed me to deliver the very finest dentistry in this part of the country. My staff and I continue to work towards the highest level of customer service that can possibly be delivered during dental treatment, It is our goal that you are comfortably pampered during each visit. We have all received extensive training in sedation techniques to allow even the most phobic patient to enjoy the many benefits of implant dentistry. Your spectacular dental results will allow you to live without regrets, too. I have dedicated myself to promise of continuing education and I have been certified by both the American Board of General Dentistry and the American Board of Implant Dentistry. During my travels, I have not met anyone else who has secured both of those certifications. I have been preparing my entire life for your first dental appointment and my plan is to discuss the best that dentistry has to offer you!
