Founder of DENT ESTET & President of ADOM
Thanks to a visionary perspective on dental health services, Dr. Oana Taban, Founder of the DENT ESTET clinic group and Founding President of the Dental Office Managers Romania Association (ADOM), has significantly contributed to the development and professionalization of dental medicine in Romania. Starting in 1999, under her coordination, DENT ESTET became a benchmark of excellence in Romanian dentistry, contributing to a fundamental change in how patients perceive and experience the visit to the dentist.
Driven by the desire to continuously invest in the professional development of medical teams and the creation of high management standards, Dr. Oana Taban furthered her professional training through the „Management of Health Systems” master’s program at the University of Bucharest. Over time, she has participated in numerous international specialization programs in dental clinic management, both in the United States and in Europe.
Her expertise is also reinforced by membership in prestigious professional organizations, such as the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM), the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD), and the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry (EAPD).
Convinced of the need to develop medical services adapted to the real needs of patients, Dr. Oana Taban inaugurated in 2008 the first dental clinic in Southeastern Europe dedicated exclusively to children – DENT ESTET 4 KIDS. This innovative project addressed an existing need in the local market and contributed to the development of the modern pediatric dentistry concept in Romania.
Parallel to her medical and entrepreneurial activity, Dr. Oana Taban founded the Dental Office Managers Romania Association (ADOM) in 2013, inspired by the American AADOM model and adapted to the specifics of the local market. Today, ADOM represents the most important management community for dental offices and clinics in Romania, bringing together over 1,800 members and offering reference educational programs for entrepreneurs, managers, and medical teams.
Education has consistently been one of her priorities. Over the years, Dr. Oana Taban and the organizations she founded have invested in the development of new generations of dental medicine professionals. A remarkable example is the renovation and modernization project of a laboratory at the Faculty of Dental Medicine within UMFST Târgu Mureș, completed in 2021, which helped improve study conditions for future dentists.
As a physician, entrepreneur, and leader, Dr. Oana Taban promotes excellence, continuous education, and the sustainable development of medical organizations, being one of the personalities who have decisively influenced the evolution of dental management in Romania.
„As a doctor and entrepreneur, I have dedicated all my energy to people, patients, and doctors, helping them achieve their dreams. It brings me joy to know that I can contribute to the professional and personal development of those around me. That is why I always strive to develop myself as a person, as a doctor, as a leader.” – Dr. Oana Taban
