Bend’s Dentist Since 1998.
Some patients have been with us since the beginning. Families, neighbors, people we see at the mountain and wave to at Phil’s Trailhead. If you’re looking for a dentist who will still know your name in ten years, you’ve found him.

Meet your dentist
Dr. Andy Engel, DMD
— in Bend, Oregon since 1998 · known to patients as Dr. Andy —
Andy has cared for Bend families since 1998, the year he graduated from OHSU. He founded Living Dental Health in 2013 to build something of his own — twenty-eight years now in the same town, with many of the same families. The practice grew the way good neighborhoods do: slowly, by referral, around a small team that learned each other's rhythms.
His approach is unhurried and conservative. Cleanings and exams sit at the heart of it; cosmetic refinements and surgical care happen under the same roof when they're the right call. Patients tell us they appreciate being explained to, not pitched at — that's the gentle touch we mean.
