Our Story
How the Practice Began
The Gorman Center has served North Oaks families for more than 30 years, built on a reputation for smile design and lasting patient relationships.
A New Chapter
In May 2022, Dr. Lippe joined our practice. A prosthodontist with a focus on aesthetics, she completed advanced training in dental implants, full-arch implant restorations, and complete and removable partial dentures. Today she leads the practice, and the office now carries her name: The Gorman Center by Dr. Lexi Lippe.
You can find us at 700 Village Center Drive, Suite 100, in North Oaks, MN. We’re proud to serve patients from Vadnais Heights, St. Paul, Minneapolis, and the surrounding Twin Cities communities.



“I Absolutely Love Dr. Lippe”

Dr. Lexi Lippe
The Dentist Your North Oaks Neighbors Recommend
Dr. Lippe earned her bachelor's degree, doctorate, and certificate in prosthodontics from Stony Brook University. As an aesthetic prosthodontist, she specializes in full mouth reconstruction, dental implants, full-arch restorations, and smile design. She is committed to judgment-free care and takes the time to understand each patient's goals.
You can expect your results to look great, too! Her artistic sensibilities play a role in every treatment she provides, which not only gives patients the many benefits of healthy teeth and gums, but also allows them to experience an exciting sense of pride in their smiles.
Dr. Youmna Walid
Supporting a Legacy of Excellence
Dr. Walid joined the practice in 2026. She practiced dentistry in Egypt before completing advanced training through the PASS Program at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry. Her focus includes cosmetic dentistry, crowns, bridges, root canal therapy, implant restorations, and full-arch rehabilitation such as All-on-X cases.
Our North Oaks dentists are supported by an experienced team, including an office manager with more than 25 years of experience and a hygienist who holds a master's degree in dental hygiene.
