Today was my first experience having dental procedures performed at Northern Sky Dental and with Dr. Lippert. I had not been to the dentist in 28 years and was extremely apprehensive about having any type of dental work done. Due to the amazing, caring and professional staff, along with the exceptional work Dr. Lippert performed, unlike earlier today (before my appointment), I’m now looking forward to completing my treatment plan and getting my teeth back into the healthy condition they need to be.

Also, thank you for catering to this coward. I will be highly recommending your office to all of my friends and family. Thank you. Happy holidays.

Horrible place, very unprofessional. I had a very small filling on the corner of my front tooth that fell off and needed replaced. Lippert was supposed to just put a corner back on my tooth. Instead he decided to drill up the whole one side and very poorly put the tooth material there. And why was he doing this so poorly? Because he wasn't paying attention at all. He was too busy actually leaning over me to talk with his dental assistant about music.

I felt like a table in the breakroom. After he said he was done and left the room, I found a very sharp section on the backside of my tooth which he should have noticed but he was too busy not fixing my tooth and talking away. The front of my tooth wasn't even filed evenly so you can tell it was done poorly. Now I have to go to a real dentist to have it corrected.

Staff was very sincere, personable and professional. Dr. Lippert is amazing and so kind, I am no longer in fear of the dentist because of this office. I actually look forward to my visits now and happy I am able to keep my teeth healthy instead of avoiding dentist all together because of trauma from one years ago. Trust me, they are amazing!! You are worth it, go get your smile back!!!

Was having them put a cap on started in October 10th and did not finish til mid January. They had screwed up the permanent one so I had to wait longer and had the entire process started over from the beginning.

( this was almost a month into the process) then the temporary cap fell off November 15, back to the office for that same temp cap to be put back in place, less than a wk later as I was eating salad it came off again and got no assistance the second time, had to wait over a month ( through Christmas and no assistance with that temporary cap, very uncomfortable to the touch) mid January and finally the new cap in, not feeling like I like the work done, and would never recommend them to anyone…. It was the worse experience ever
