Dr. Tripp is a North Carolina native, born and raised in Knightdale, N.C. Coming from a family of medical professionals his interest in the field of medicine started as a boy. His love for dentistry began when a fall off his motorcycle necessitated a visit to the dentist to fix a broken tooth. It was this visit that sparked his interest in the field and he decided to pursue a career in dentistry. He has been practicing dentistry for over 19 years and has been in his current location for 9 years.
He continued his studies at the University of Missouri-Kansas City for an aesthetic continuum, and then entered the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) where he studied advanced cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Tripp has received specialized training in Dental Sleep Medicine which includes the Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS), a device that is worn in the mouth to treat Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). He has placed over one hundred of the MAS devices with tremendous patient satisfaction. Since 2004 Dr. Tripp has been using CEREC technology for the placement of crowns. A CEREC crown is a tooth-colored crown, or partial crown, designed and milled using CAD/CAM (computer) technology here in the office in about 2 hours.
Dr. Tripp also has been trained in the placement of Six Month Smiles, a technology that uses clear braces to gently straighten and align teeth in an average time of just six months. Dr. Tripp is a member of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine and the Seattle Study Club.
When not practicing dentistry, Dr. Tripp loves spending time with his wife Terri, and their three active sons. His hobbies are auto racing, fishing, and supporting the Wolfpack. He also volunteers his skills and time to a program at his church that provides dental services to Belarusian children.

Everyone was friendly. From the time I walked in the door I felt comfortable. Not an easy thing to say about going to a dentist. The hygienist was very thorough and informative with her explanation of what she observed about my teeth. The Doctor took his time to make sure I understood what was needed to prevent any further damage to my teeth. I didn't feel pressured in any way. This was a good choice for me.

My first visit was amazing! I have heard wonderful things about this practice and it did not disappoint! From start to finish! Connie was welcoming and lovely! Cara was my hygienist and was so personable, knowledgeable, and thorough with the cleaning and explained everything so that it made sense. Dr Tripp was extremely easy to talk to, very genuine and friendly, and took the time to explain everything in detail giving me his opinion, yet options of treatment. So happy with this decision and highly recommend!

Dr. Kenneth Tripp and his associates are all "Rock Stars" in my book. I had a few services yesterday and I can say honestly, I am not a fan of going to the Dentist. I have a lot of childhood trauma... lol. From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. I had a few fillings and a crown that needed to be complete and everything went smoothly. Dr. Tripp was very transparent and walked me through the process and was even able to share his screen when doing the 3D imaging. He was very thorough and provided insight throughout. I was even able to view the crown being made, which I've attached for your viewing pleasure. If you are in need for dental work, even as basic as a cleaning, Dr. Tripp is your guy!!!
