Roman Dental isn’t just near the Memorial area, it’s part of it: the practice sits directly on Memorial Drive, a half-mile from most of the neighborhood it treats. That location makes routine cleanings, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, and same-day emergency visits an easy stop rather than a planned trip.Â
Dr. Roman Kotlarek, DDS, MAGD, FICOI has practiced from this same address since 1999 and remains one of the few local dentists offering in-house sedation for patients who dread the chair.

Same-Day Appointments
Roman Dental offers six core services, all from the same Memorial Drive office: general and preventive dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, oral surgery, sedation dentistry, and emergency dental care. Dr. Kotlarek performs each of these himself, so a Memorial-area patient can handle a routine visit and a more complex procedure with the same dentist rather than a referral elsewhere.
Exams, cleanings, crowns, and bridges that stop small issues before they grow.
Veneers, bonding, and whitening for a smile that looks natural.
Single-tooth and full-arch replacement, including implant-supported dentures.
Extractions, wisdom tooth removal, bone grafts, and sinus lifts, done in-house for adult patients.
A choice of nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, or IV sedation.
Same-day appointments for toothaches, breaks, and other sudden problems.
A few reasons keep this practice a neighborhood fixture:
Memorial is known for its mature trees, large residential lots, and proximity to Memorial Park and the Buffalo Bayou trail system, a quieter, more established feel than the commercial stretches nearby along I-10. Because Roman Dental’s office sits inside this same corridor rather than a few exits away, most Memorial-area residents can reach it in a few minutes without getting on the highway at all.
A few practical details make care easier to plan around:
Dr. Roman Kotlarek, DDS, treats every patient at Roman Dental personally, known for natural-looking cosmetic results and a communication-first approach. He’s worked from this same Memorial Drive address 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 out of one Memorial Drive building since it opened in December 1999, with no other locations and no chain ownership. The staff has stayed small by design, so the same hygienists and front-desk team tend to greet a returning patient at every visit. That familiarity helps the office feel more like a neighborhood practice than a high-volume clinic, which matters most for patients who find dental visits stressful.
