BUSINESSPROFILE Tropical Dental Experience in Long Beach By Kristen Bird-Sheldon Long Beach office A re you the type of person that cringes at the very thought of seeing the dentist? Many people in the United States suffer from odontophobia, which is just a fancy word for fear of the dentist. For many, the fear of dental care can lead to serious health issues. Even if your aversion is not that severe, any type of anxiety that stems from seeing a dentist can be alleviated by seeing a professional that understands and makes your comfort their number one concern. The Lakefront Neighbors area is lucky to have Dr. Leonard Anglis. Dr. Anglis has offices in Crown Point and Long Beach, and he and his staff make patient comfort their number one concern. Dr. Anglis’ team works to alleviate apprehension by providing a tropical dental experience through the use of aromatherapy, personally selected music, warmed neck rolls, and soft blankets. Nancy Anglis, practice manager, explains, “Our staff respects our clients’ wishes and fulfills all requests to help them to feel more comfortable. We frequently use oral sedation or IV sedation to help patients feel at ease.” Dr. Anglis has known from a very young age that dentistry was his path, and he is also passionate about spending time with his family. He especially loves fishing with his son, Andrew. From a philanthropic standpoint, he is passionate about raising funds for the Alzheimer’s Association since his mother has been afflicted with this disease for over ten years. His office team, The Unforgettables, has been the team champion in fund raising for the past two years! According to Nancy Anglis, “Dr. Anglis chose to have an office in Long Beach because he has loved the area for so many years—enjoying its beauty and the fishing in Lake Michigan. He wanted to find a special and private spot tucked away in a serene setting to provide life-changing care. Dr. Anglis always feels like he is on vacation when he is providing dental implant care in Long Beach. Without question, he has enjoyed his patients that he has met here most of all!”— For more information about Dr. Anglis’ office and services, you can visit his website at www.dranglis.com or call 219.878.1280 • | APRIL 2015 | 19
