Glenn V. Amante, DDS Excellence in Allied Health-Dentistry

amanteDr. Glenn V. Amante is the president and owner of Amante Dental Center and Lisle Dental Center, two thriving dental practices located in Schaumburg and Lisle, Illinois. Dr. Amante has been practicing in the west/northwest suburbs of Chicago for over ten years. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, and has pursued postgraduate certification in Cosmetic Dentistry from the University of Minnesota. He also received his certification in Orthodontics and completed an intensive Implant Dentistry training after dental school. He held various student leadership positions while in dental school including the class presidency of the International Dentist Program class of 2006. A native of Malvar, Batangas, Glenn immigrated to the United States in 2000. His formative years were spent in the neighboring city of Lipa where he attended Canossa Academy during elementary and then De La Salle-Lipa in high school. Prior to moving to the United States, Glenn earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Centro Escolar University in Mendiola, Manila in 1996. Dr. Amante values his patients and believes that they deserve to have the information they need to make good choices about their oral health. He is meticulous about doing his comprehensive examination so he can come up with a sound diagnosis. He enjoys the trusting doctor/patient relationship which helps relieve the stress they feel about seeing the dentist. All of his patients are approached with the affection and tenderness that he would expect for his friends or family. Being a dentist and owner of two practices has had its rewards; but Dr. Glenn thinks that there is so much more to his profession. Establishing long term relationships with patients and their families and being part of a community is something he truly values. He adds that nothing feels better than to hear from patients that they had a truly pain-free experience; or knowing that he has helped somebody get back their self esteem and confidence by simply giving them a better smile. Professional affiliations include the American Dental Association, the Illinois Dental Society, the Chicago Dental Society, the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Dental Implant Association and the Philippine Dental Society of the Midwest to name a few. Dr. Amante is a believer of giving back to the community. He does volunteer work at the dental clinic of the Care Center of the Willow Creek Community Church where thousands of the underserved population in the area seek dental care. Just recently, Dr. Amante with the help of his entire team, launched the Lisle Dental Center’s first annual blood drive where the whole Lisle community came together and pitched in to share their time for this wonderful cause. He is an advocate of healthy living and is an avid marathoner. What was once an item in his bucket list, running marathons became a lifestyle. He has completed 48 marathons to date, and is well on his way of accomplishing his goal of completing a marathon in every state. When asked what his next goal is after completing a marathon in all 50 states, his response is to do it a second time around and running a marathon in all seven continents, perhaps. Glenn attributes his success to the guidance and support of his parents, Greg and Gloria, who resides in the Philippines. He’s proud to say that they are the reason why he is where he is today. He also acknowledges the unending support and love generously shown by his wife, Carolina, a pediatrician originally from Bogota, Colombia and their two boys, Sam and Danny. Glenn’s family has always been there every step of the way. Dr. Amante’s amazing dental team, comprised of driven and passionate individuals, collectively contributed to the success that his two dental practices have attained. Without a
doubt, Glenn is truly humbled by this recognition and is forever grateful for all the blessings God has bestowed upon him.
