Howard Tetalman Inc

Dental work isn’t exactly the kind of appointment people look forward to—yet finding a general and cosmetic dentist who handles everything from routine cleanings to crowns without the upsell pressure makes the process less painful. Howard Tetalman Inc covers the basics: exams, fillings, extractions, even whitening for those who’ve given up on over-the-counter strips. No specialty gimmicks, just the standard (and occasionally dreaded) procedures most patients need at some point. The office sits at 1450 SOM Center Rd #6, Cleveland, OH 44124—a stretch of road where medical offices and strip malls blur together, because of course it does. Dentistry isn’t about ambiance; it’s about getting the work done and moving on.

Booking an appointment here follows the usual script: a call to (440) 442-7870, a brief hold, and the inevitable question about insurance. Directions, if needed, are best pulled from the map listing—because nothing kills time like circling a professional plaza, wondering if you’ve missed the right suite number. Mayfield Heights isn’t exactly a destination, but then again, neither is a root canal. Still, someone’s got to do it.
