What areas of dentistry does Dr. Lipton concentrate on?

Dr. Lipton is a general dentist that concentrates on restoration of the mouth by means of aesthetic fillings, crowns and bridges, implants, veneers, partial and full dentures. There is no need to mention “cosmetic dentistry”, because all dentistry done by Dr. Lipton is completed with a beautiful cosmetic result in mind.

Dr. Lipton has treated thousands of apprehensive and medically compromised patients with sedation in the office or general anesthesia in the hospital. In addition, if you are a patient that has extreme time constraints, getting all your dentistry completed in one visit while you sleep may be the appropriate treatment for you.

In addition, Dr Lipton has extensively studied the area of sleep-disordered breathing which includes the treatment of patients with snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. Lipton works with several sleep medicine physicians, and can provide treatment for snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and those who cannot tolerate CPAP.
