Dr. Lipton had fitted me with an upper bridge that was coming loose. I'd wanted it reattached but he said he had a better idea. Before I realized what he was doing, he'd filed my front teeth down to points in order to fit me for a more extensive bridge. He charged me $1500 for this--to start--and wanted $3000 more, but relented once I complained to him in writing. My insurance did not cover any of this because the original loose bridge was less than a year old. The new bridge threw off my bite. He recommended crowns on the lower teeth to correct the bite. I refused this and am looking for a new dentist.
