Dr. Russell Thomas Tipton

Thomas Tipton, DMD
I love being an orthodontist! I learn so much from all the people I treat and come into contact with on a daily basis, and everyone has an interesting story to tell. I believe that everyone deserves to have a beautiful, healthy, functional smile and I am honored that my patients place their trust in me.
Education and Experience
I feel that because of my education and training I am able to provide my patients with a higher level of orthodontic care. A quality education and a commitment to continuing education provide me with the skills necessary to help my patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile.
Bachelor of Science in Zoology – Brigham Young University
Doctorate of Dental Medicine – Washington University, St. Louis
Master of Dental Science in Orthodontics – University of Pittsburgh
I am president of Arizona Orthodontic Study Group, the longest continuing orthodontic study group in the nation. This participation helps me stay involved with my peers and …allows us all to learn from each other’s clinical experiences. It also gives me an opportunity to keep up-to-date on the newest techniques and technologies.
My Team
I have the most experienced team members who all care so much about our patients. They are as committed as I am to educating you and helping you optimize your time in braces. They enjoy working with patients, and they will make every effort to make your time with us special and enjoyable.
Outside the Office
I am a native of Springville, Utah, and have lived in Mesa for the past 22 years. I love spending time with my son and three daughters. Since fitness is important to me, I run, bike, hike and scuba dive. I have coached many Little League teams and have been a Boy Scout leader for the past 20 years.
