Twenty Years.
One Focus.

Dr. Tiplea earned his first dental degree in Romania in 2005, completing a year-long pediatric hospital residency before emigrating to the United States. In 2011 he completed a second dental degree at the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

During his training at UoP he completed a surgical mini-residency under Dr. Garibaldi and a hands-on rotation at Oakland County Hospital, assisting with complex surgical cases.

After settling in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, he spent years refining his surgical skills in solo practice — building case volume, expanding his implant training, and developing the clinical confidence that comes only from repetition. In 2016 he made a deliberate pivot: bring the surgeon to the office, not the other way around.

The sedation side of his practice reflects a pragmatic trajectory. He began offering oral sedation in 2017 after watching anxious patients struggle with the sounds and sensations of surgery — no pain, but significant psychological discomfort. Oral sedation helped. But it wasn't predictable enough.

After consulting with a mentor who had administered sedation for 25 years, he made the decision to pursue IV conscious sedation certification — not despite the responsibility it carries, but because of it. He is now an active member of the American Dental Society of Anesthesiology and a Mastership candidate.

He operates with ASA I and select ASA II patients only. His monitoring setup includes continuous SpO₂, capnography, 4-lead EKG, and blood pressure. His full readiness setup is checked and verified before every surgical day. Safety is not a feature. It is the foundation.
