Services
Roman Dental is devoted to the prevention and maintenance of dental health. Our focus is to deliver fine dental care in a clean and safe environment. We can help you achieve an attractive and healthy smile, something we all need and deserve. As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to dental health.
Dr. Roman Kotlarek is all about making dental care pleasant and comfortable. Dr. Kotlarek combines the most advanced dental technologies, leading-edge techniques, modern facility, a gentle touch, and an artistic eye to deliver beautiful and enduring treatments. Dr. Kotlarek has developed a reputation among his peers for creating beautiful smiles with a natural appearance.
The best way to relieve a toothache is to immediately make an appointment for emergency dental care. Pain medications and numbing gels, available from Houston's Walgreens and CVS stores, are a good temporary help. First, remember, pain is your body calling out for help. Listen to the call and see your dentist ASAP for professional dental care.
Root canals relieve toothaches. Treatment immediately stops pain and sensitivity caused by cold and hot drinks. Additionally, endodontic care resolves pain and tenderness caused when chewing or applying biting pressure to teeth. As an alternative to extraction, root canal therapy saves badly decayed teeth, chipped, or broken.
At Roman Dental we treat a wide range of problems in both adults and children including (extraction) removal of teeth. Wisdom teeth are third molars that usually appear between the ages of 16 and 25 at the back of the mouth. They are commonly extracted when they affect other teeth or get lodged beside other teeth because the jaw is too small.

Dr. Kotlarek and Jenny ( hygienist) were great as always ( I am using Roman dental services since I came to Houston in 2009 and I always rated it five stars), but this time I only rate 3 stars because I had a bad experience with Julie. I asked before I scheduled deep cleaning ( I have it done every two years) if my insurance pay for it. She said “yes”, but when I came to her desk to pay my portion, it turned out that I have to pay practically a full amount, because I reached annual maximum. She had all my information before the procedure ( I have all dental work done only at “Roman dental”

I had another visit with my dentist, this time I had a terrible toothache, unfortunately Dr. Kotlarek couldn’t save it, however, he explain the procedure for the extraction, during the surgery, he was very concerned of my comfort. I really appreciate Dr. Kotlarek and assistant for caring of patients like me.
Thank you Dr. Kotlarek and Team.
And again I’d like to recommend Roman Dental to everyone!

The staff was really friendly I made a same day appointment and they were able to get me in and accommodate me. When the dentist came in to see me he went above and beyond to explain where my pain was coming from and the best steps to move forward. I am looking forward to going back and starting my procedures

Rebecca the Hygienist is fantastic 👍🏾! Very personable, thorough and knowledgeable. Thankfully I haven't needed to have any work done by the Dentist himself but happy with the overall staff at this office. I'm also happy that they continue their Covid protocols with temperature checks, plexiglass, and covid questionnaires.

Dr. Kotlarek and his staff is the BEST DENTIST I’ve ever gone to, and I’ve been to a lot! He’s very gentle, and cares about YOUR teeth. He gives you options, on what you need to have done, then he will tell you, what he would do. I’ve never had a Dentist like him before, so caring, his staff too. I told him I came in one time, and you have me FOR LIFE!” He is that GOOD!! 🌟🌟🌟

I commend the hard working team at Roman Dental for providing smooth and efficient dental care to their patients. From the moment I walked through the front doors, to the treatment chair and back to the check out desk, I felt well taken care of and satisfied with the quality of care I received. All the precautions taken during this pandemic are exceptional at this office. I was impressed with the sanitizers and lysol available to use, two sinks in each treatment room to wash your hands at and protective equipment used by the whole team. The assistants wiped down equipment immediately after handling

WORST DENTIST EVER!!!! I went with Dr Kotlarek 4 years ago and every time that I went they increased the amount of payment I had to pay
On Teeth #10 I paid more than 2,000 and now another dentist told me he didn't even clean the cavity before doing the tooth canal, that had cause a bigger infection
I email him and his answer was that he did his best
Really???
Now the treatment to fix his terrible job will cost me more than $5,000
Unbelievable ! if you don't want to lose your teeth, money and your time
DON'T GO TO ROMAL DENTAL

Me & husband has been going there for a while. Service has been good. But what pissed us off is that they always try to up sell for deep cleaning or more when all we want is just simple cleaning. It does not just happen to us. Personally, I do not think that our teeth is in such a bad health. We floss and brush our teeth daily. Been to other dentists and not as bad as what Roman dental try to scare us into deep cleaning. Our friends whom we referred, stopped going there since Jan. He encountered similar situation and he just walked out of the clinic. We and our friends will not visit this clinic

Read Cassie's review below that exact thing happened to me today. Janie the DH was very nice presenting her sales pitch and as soon as I said no to her recommend treatment, my visit turned on a dime. She seemed agitated and very rough with her cleaning, leaving my mouth sore. The doc was nice, he really needs to consider her as the face of his practice. For those other reviewers that gave 5's maybe they have never had a nice cleaning, because her's was terrible. New pt beware

I first went to Roman Dental in 1995, when the practice was pretty new. I needed fairly extensive work, and Dr. Kotlarek installed a 6 teeth bridge that lasted 22 years!!! I have this summer started major dental work again with 3 implants and 6 new crowns. I have never had good teeth. It is genetic, and I have never liked going to the dentist, but Dr. Kotlarek is wonderful, very gentle, explains all the process in details, and never once did I hurt from the procedure. He just raised my sinus, did a bone graft, and installed 3 implants. The surgery was a success, I was sour for a couple of days

Dr. Kotlarek is, may I say, AMAZING. His staff is friendly, courteous and have made me feel like family every time I have gone to see Dr. Kotlarek. I got all my wisdom teeth out with him this past week and I have to say that I am very glad I went to do this procedure at his office. He has even followed up with me over calls to make sure that I am doing well, I have never had that treatment from a Doctor as a patient before. I greatly appreciate it and it shows that he cares about his patients, which is rare to find now a days.

This place is great! I've been here a few times over the course of a few years and even if they are "higher priced" according to some other reviews I certainly feel like you get what you pay for! I had no pain the whole time. The Dr. and his assistant Tiffany were amazing and very attentive! If you want a quality job and a no pain experience I would definitely see them! I was given a plan of what my treatment was going to cost per tooth when I left my first consultation and felt like that was a very honest way to do business. Dr. K is awesome I will continue to go here!

Thought we would try a new dentist closer to home so we tried Roman. This place operates quite the scam. Telling me and my spouse we both needed work that we really didn't and of course we thought they were making correct recommendations. For some reason they had zero idea of how much out insurance would pay so we reluctantly agreed. Our previous honest dentist would pick up the phone and have an answer for us right away with no surprises. Come to find out Roman was trying to double charge both us and the insurance company. I have always had near perfect dental health but Roman will

One word: BEWARE. I would definitely NOT recommend Roman Dental.
I was forced to find a new dentist after my old dentist, whom I loved, retired. I tried Roman Dental after a recommendation from a friend and was happy there for awhile. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful, but I began to grow suspicious when at each appointment they found a new dental problem (multiple cavities, gum recession, etc.)
Having this amount of dental problems was very unusual for me. I have regularly attended the dentist (every 6 months) since I was a child. I've had cavities before, but not the

Everyone at Roman Dental is friendly and makes you feel welcome. The services provided are top notch. You're in a room that is seperated from other patient which a HUGE plus! My cleaning was great and I can't wait to go back...yes I actually said that about the dentist!
