Carverdale sits far enough from the Energy Corridor that a nearby dentist matters, and Roman Dental fills that role from one Memorial Drive office handling everything from routine cleanings to cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and same-day emergency care.
Dr. Roman Kotlarek, DDS, MAGD, FICOI has practiced in West Houston since 1999 and remains one of the few local dentists offering in-house sedation for patients who avoid the dentist out of anxiety.

Same-Day Appointments
Carverdale patients can get six core dental services at Roman Dental, all delivered from one office: general and preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, oral surgery, sedation dentistry, and emergency dental care. Dr. Kotlarek performs each of these personally, which means fewer separate referrals for anything short of a rare, highly complex case.
Exams, cleanings, crowns, and bridges that catch problems before they grow.
Veneers, bonding, and whitening for a smile you feel good about.
Single-tooth and full-arch replacement, including implant-supported dentures.
Extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts, and sinus lifts, handled in-house for adult patients.
Nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation, based on your comfort level.
Same-day appointments for toothaches, breaks, and other urgent problems.
A handful of reasons make the drive from Carverdale worthwhile:
Carverdale residents live in a mostly residential pocket of unincorporated Harris County near Clay Road and the Sam Houston Tollway, an area with fewer dental offices nearby than some of the more built-up West Houston neighborhoods closer to the Energy Corridor. That gap is exactly why an established, full-service practice on Memorial Drive is worth the drive: one stop covers routine visits and more complex procedures alike, rather than requiring separate trips to different providers.
Carverdale patients get several practical benefits on top of the clinical care:
Dr. Roman Kotlarek, DDS, provides all dental care at Roman Dental personally, known for natural-looking cosmetic and restorative results and a communication-first approach with patients. He’s worked from the same Memorial Drive office since 1999.
He completed a bachelor’s degree at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, undergraduate coursework at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville, and his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. His credentials since then include:
Roman Dental has run from a single Memorial Drive building since it opened in December 1999, with no other locations and no chain ownership. The staff has stayed intentionally small, so the hygienists and front-desk team a returning patient sees are usually the same familiar faces each visit. That consistency keeps the office feeling more personal than a large, high-turnover practice, which matters most to patients who find dental visits stressful.
