Lawrence T Holland, DDS

Great dentist and staff. What more can you say?

I started seeing the Dr Holland because my boyfriend and his family had been going there for 30 years. I really love the staff and thought that the dentist was great. The staff is still great. My views of the dentist have changed somewhat thought. I recently went in for an extraction and filling. The extraction was a little complicated and that was my tooth’s fault. However, after several days of severe pain I went back to find out I had a dry socket and several pieces of bone sticking out of my gums. My issue arose after I got back to the office and discovered a piece of bone that was missed and had to go back to office to have it removed. The doctor just couldn’t see how he could’ve missed it. I saw and felt it easily in a small mirror. He thought it should be tucked back in. He had given me several injections to numb my mouth over the course of time with no issue, but I been topically numb at that time. I was not this time and expecting to be before he put the needle in my mouth. I have anxiety to needles and when I saw the needle coming toward my mouth (knowing I didn’t have the topical) I panicked. The doctor flipped out on me. I stated I wasn’t topically numbed yet. Instead, of calming me and relaxing himself, he told me I can’t do that to him and he couldn’t do this then walked out of the room. I couldn’t believe it! It was extremely unprofessional. Margaret was wonderful though! When we noticed the doc come out of his office and proceeded to another patient, she calmly applied a topical and removed the bone from my gums. I love her! I came back two days later to have my packing replaced and the doctor knowing I was there did not say one word to me! No apology or nothing. I wouldn’t send children to him and as much as the staff is great I don’t trust him to work in my mouth. The side of my mouth (and only side i can eat on now) where he did the filling is super sensitive to hot and cold since that procedure. I wouldn’t recommend a doctor with this sort of short temper and lack of patience!
So disappointing!

Never had a root canal before and heard about it being painful. Dr. Holland was great. He talked me through the whole procedure and I never even felt anything. It was so painless that I fell asleep during it. Sleeping through a root canal, I never heard about anyone doing that before. The staff there was great also. I will be going back to Dr Holland for all my dental needs.

I’m surprised to see that this doctor is quick to see patients with emergency situations. That’s never been the case for me. I’ve gone for treatments that required several visits. The staff and dentist were pleasant and he definitely knows what he is doing. But anytime I’ve needed to be seen in an emergency situation there was no sense of urgency whatsoever. Even when I’ve stated I’m in pain they’re not concerned. I stopped coming because I need a dentist who would at least be willing to see if they could squeeze me in when I have a problem. He also doesn’t seem to like answering more than one question. If you ask a second one he can come off as snappy. I’m glad they were able to help when they did but I wouldn’t recommend them for emergencies or if you are a new patient.

I’ve been going to Dr. Lawrence Holland for over twenty years, well before he built his current office. I’ve always had excellent treatment, been greeted by the friendly staff, never had to wait long. I’ve had fillings, extractions, root canals, veneers, crowns, etc. and have never been dissatisfied. If an emergency arose, he saw to it that I was taken care of as quickly as possible. Recently had to change my insurance in order to continue patronizing his practice, as I don’t really want anyone else to work on my teeth.

Dr. Holland is an excellent practitioner and runs his practice well, my checkups were one of my favorite errands to run during my time in Houston.

Have been going there for 2 years, good work, crowns, got some implants. I like the staff, too.

My new dentist in Houston. I have gone for two visits and have really enjoyed both. Everyone is really nice here.
