When he first moved to Bend in 1998, he helped establish Century Dental Group. He then founded Living Dental Health to fulfill his dream of being an entrepreneur. The name Living Dental Health is synonymous with Dr. Engels desire to help his patients quickly and safely address any oral health issues so they can live a healthy, full, and active life here in Central Oregon.
When it comes to patient care, Dr. Engel is a bit of a detective. He strives to understand each patients needs and then provides recommendations to help them achieve their desired results. To Dr. Engel, there is no cookie-cutter approach to dentistry. Hes been trained in so many ways that he can pull options from his tool belt that may be foreign to other dentists.
Dr. Engel firmly believes that his success in helping patients is dependent on the ability to work as a team with his patient to deliver exceptional results. Plus, Dr. Engel wants a patient he can get to know on a first-name basis, so when he sees them around town, he can say hi and pick up where they left off.
An avid athlete, Dr. Andy started skiing shortly after learning to walk and had aspirations to compete in the Olympics skiing moguls. He decided that dentistry was probably the safer option, and were glad he did (although it would have been pretty cool to have a former Olympian as a dentist). If you ever see him up at Bachelor, dont hesitate to say hello and join him for a run (or three). He loves skiing with friends.
But his greatest love of all is spending time with his family, which includes his wife, Francie, son Sean, and daughters, Ally and Rhone. Sean and Ally are both grown but live in Bend. They enjoy family dinners whenever they can wrangle everyone together. Rhone is Dr. Andys youngest daughter, who still lives at home with him and Francie, along with their adorable Corgi, Murphy.
