I had the privilege of being treated by Dr. Leonard Anglis and his caring staff in his tropical-paradise-themed Crown Point, Ind., office. After years of coping with an unattractive smile and impaired chewing abilities, I made the decision to have seven dental implants placed in my lower jaw. What a terrific move that turned out to be. The procedure was painless and five months later, I had a red-carpet-quality smile. My experience is not necessarily typical — the time from implantation to final result varies for each person. The best part is that Dr. Anglis doesn’t consider his work«finished» until it is fine-tuned, producing the best esthetic/cosmetic and functional results. So no matter how many little adjustments need to be made, Dr. Anglis will say, «that’s what I’m here for» and he means it. Dr. Anglis also has an office in Michigan City, Ind.
