Dr. Ellen Lippa — WNY Dental Group office
Smyleee Rating
Very Good
Ellen C. Lippa, DDS practices within the Western New York Dental Group office on Main Street in the Parkside neighborhood, serving north-central Buffalo households as a named provider within the broader chain practice. The named-doctor framing within a chain office means patients can request continuity with Dr. Lippa across visits while still getting the chain's protocol consistency and network-wide treatment-record portability. The office covers the standard family-dentistry workload — cleanings, exams, fillings, crowns, root canals, basic extractions, and gum care.
Patients searching for a dentist for the whole family in Buffalo, a long-time family dentist in Buffalo, NY, or affordable family dental care in Buffalo can find a complete generalist program here, including cleanings, tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges, and root canal therapy, alongside basic extractions, gum-disease treatment, and pediatric exams on a coordinated family schedule. Teeth whitening is available for cosmetic touch-ups.
If you'd rather see a specific named dentist within a chain office than rotate between providers, Dr. Lippa's continuity within the WNY Dental Group setup is the kind of arrangement that fits long-term care.
Pricing falls in the standard range for an established Buffalo Western NY Dental Group practice — the clinic accepts most major insurance plans, treatment estimates are walked through before any appointment, and emergency visits for established patients are typically fit in same-week. For Parkside and north Buffalo families picking a regular general dentist with named-provider continuity, this arrangement belongs on the shortlist of Main Street dental options. New-patient intake typically fits into a first-cleaning slot within a couple of weeks, and the office handles coordinated household scheduling so multiple family members can stack their visits on the same trip rather than scattering across the week. Office hours typically include early-morning and end-of-day appointment slots, and emergency visits for established patients are typically fit in same-week rather than referred to separate urgent-care offices across the broader metro. New patients can usually be fit into a first-cleaning visit within a couple of weeks rather than long backlogs, and the office is set up for direct insurance billing rather than reimbursement-only paperwork.

Dr Lippa and Tina are the best, I truly enjoy coming to my twice a year cleanings because of these ladies! Special shout-out to Tina for her extraordinary dental hygienist skill of being able to clean teeth AND somehow magically be able to engage this patient in thoughtful and fun conversation that isn’t just one-sided because her mouth is full! Tina is the best! :)
Dr. Lippa is has the patience of a saint. She is always wonderful with my dad who has extreme anxiety regarding dentists. It is because of her kindness and great sense of humor that he was able to get the dental work done that he desperately needed. Many thanks.
I am very pleased with Dr. Lippa. She is an amazing dentist. I would not consider going anywhere else. Tina is my dental hygienist and she is very thorough and professional. I am always greeted by friendly staff with smiles.
Dr. Ellen Lippa and the entire staff at Western New York Dental Group have always been nothing short of excellent! Whether it was with our children when they were small or dealing with dental problems, routine cleanings, we have found their care and work ethic to be the best - that's why we continue to go there and share them with our friends and family!
Dr. Lippa has been my dentist for approximately 20 years. I am always pleased. Dental hygienist Karrie is also very nice. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Lippa and Karrie.
