Dr. Ilya Lipkin, DDS | Board-Certified Orthodontist
Personal Story
Coming from a long line of doctors, pharmacists, and dentists, it was natural for me to pursue a career in healthcare. My decision to specialize in orthodontics came while I was a dental student at NYU, when my experience with braces gave me the confidence and appreciation for what orthodontics could achieve. That transformation inspired my lifelong commitment to helping others gain the same confidence through healthy, functional, and beautiful smiles.
Philosophy of Care
“I follow the Roth/Williams orthodontic philosophy, which views orthodontics as more than just straightening teeth. My goal is to create lasting results by treating the teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding muscles together. Every patient deserves a smile that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.”
– Dr. Ilya Lipkin
