I came here for a 2nd opinion on my teeth and let's say, I never left. They are so amazing there. They are kind and walk you through everything and have compassion and don't want to just pull out your teeth. They get you in very quickly. 10/10 recommended!

September 9, 2024We do not live in Houghton Lake. We called Houghton Lake Dental Association for an emergency appointment to fix a crown that came off my husband's tooth. We were able to get an appointment the same day and they did a great job!!!

September 9, 2022Dr. Maceroni got me in right away for a new crown and worked around some craziness I have going on in my life right now. I am thrilled with the final crown, it feels much better than the one that was there before. I can't thank HLDA enough for their prompt attention to my problem. They are a new dentist for myself & my husband and we couldn't be happier.

I had a satisfactory experience. The dentist did a great job with my procedure, the staff was nice and helpful. I was afraid my teeth were too far gone to be safely removed, but the dentist was skilled and reassuring. Highly recommend this office.

I can't say enough about this wonderful practice! I called as a new patient looking for a dr to help me with a broken tooth that was causing pain and pressure. They took me in the same day within an hour of my initial call. Dr Maceroni was gentle and took care of my problem right away. All of the staff was great as well! I would recommend this business to everyone!

November 9, 2024The staff is great. Have had a few root canals/crowns, and everything went a lot smoother than any other place I’ve been to. Today I got a crown which fixed one of my biggest insecurities: my smile. Great people!
