Our state-of-the-art practice offers the perfect combination of high-tech and natural tranquility. Our office, which sits on four acres of property, was designed with patient comfort in mind. Each of our patient suites overlooks gardens, bird feeders, and other natural elements to make you feel at peace as you enjoy the most advanced treatments available.
At Smiles by Holsinger and Higgins, we offer all phases of dentistry in our office. As two of the first graduates of the renowned Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies, Doctors Holsinger and Higgins have extensive training and experience in general, cosmetic, restorative, and orthodontic dentistry. All of these treatments are offered with your comfort in mind, as in addition to our calming treatment suites, we offer oral conscious sedation to minimize discomfort and anxiety during your procedure.
Your solution, however, isnt to find the cheapest options possible. Its to find a dentist who cares not just about one procedure that brings you into the office, but your overall health. Whether youre missing a single tooth or several, implants just might be the prosthetic option that youre looking for. Ideal candidates will have sufficient jaw bone mass, healthy gums, and good overall health.
I grew up in Denton actually next door to our current office. I graduated from North Caroline High School and am an Eagle Scout. I was privileged to attend the Boy Scout XIII World Jamboree in Japan and was able to climb Mt. Fuji. I graduated from the University of MD College Park and then the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. Dr. Higgins and I were married the day after we graduated from dental school. I completed a general practice residency program at the Wilmington Medical Center in Wilmington Delaware. We have 2 daughters Rebecca who is a Physical Therapist at the Kennedy-Krieger Institute in Baltimore and Allison who is a pharmaceutical marketer living in Manhattan. I have served on the Human Services Council in Caroline County, the Board of Zoning Appeals, been a past president of the Denton Rotary and also the Treasurer of the Eastern Shore Dental Society and the Denton Church of Brethren. I have been the Dental Lead of the Easter Shore Dental Mission of Mercy continuously since 2012. I love dentistry and learning new things. I believe that once we believe in our minds, we can accomplish in our lives.
Family is important to me. I am an Army Brat. My father was a career Army Officer. I love being a part of a big family. I have 4 older sisters and a younger brother. It was quite a culture shock for Rowland when he married into my big, loud Irish-Italian family. Rowland and I met in dental school. We married the day after we graduated. We both did residencies and later, associate-ships. When we were starting our family, it was time to build our own practice and plant roots for our future. What better place than Denton, where Rowlands family had lived for more than 100 years. We have two grown daughters who worked in the dental office before and after school while they were growing up. They both had different callings, and we are proud of their accomplishments. I love Dentistry. I love being part of someones life journey. I know the power of changing smiles and changing lives. I am active in the MSDA to help mold Dentistrys future. When Im not in the office I love traveling, visiting family and friends, history, photography and other artsy stuff and believe it or not, scuba.

I grew up on the eastern shore of Maryland in Queen Annes County. I began working as a dental assistant in 2007 and love this field. I decided to return to school to further my career in 2013 to become a dental hygienist. I joined the Smiles by Holsinger & Higgins team in April of 2020. In my downtime, I love to hang out with my husband and our two dogs. My favorite hobby is skiing. There is nothing like being on top of a snowy mountain.
