Richard J Varnerin, DMD

Dental Examination
A comprehensive dental exam will be performed by one of our experienced Boston dentists at your initial visit. At regular check-up exams with your dentist and hygienist, you can expect the following...
X-rays
Examination of diagnostic X-rays: Dental X-rays help determine tooth and root positions and are essential for the detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening: We check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

Teeth Cleaning
If the disease is caught in the early stages of gingivitis, and no damage has been done, one to two regular cleanings will be recommended. You will also be given instructions on improving your daily oral hygiene habits and having regular dental cleanings.
Fluoride Treatment
The dentist will first examine your mouth to see if there is any swelling or bleeding in the gums. They will then use a rubber-tipped instrument called an explorer to make sure that they can brush all of the surfaces of your teeth. The dentist will then use a scaler to remove any tartar or plaque buildup on the surfaces of your teeth. Next, they’ll use an ultrasonic cleaner to remove bacteria from between the spaces in between your teeth. Then, they’ll polish and floss all of your teeth with fluoride toothpaste before giving you a fluoride treatment. Finally, they’ll check for cavities by examining their teeth.
Dental Sealants
A routine exam is important for maintaining your health and well-being. For example, you might not realize that you have an oral cavity infection until it worsens because you neglected to schedule a dental checkup. Another reason why it's important to visit the oral surgeon is to check for periodontal disease every six months because these diseases can lead to tooth loss. Your oral surgeon will also be able to offer preventive care, like teeth whitening, sealants, and fluoride treatment.
Space Maintainers
Since primary teeth guide the permanent teeth into place, infants with missing primary teeth, or infants who prematurely lose primary teeth, may require a space maintainer, a device used to hold the natural space open. Without a maintainer, the teeth can tilt toward the empty space and cause permanent teeth to come in crooked.

Fillings
There are many types of dental filling materials available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. You and your Boston Center for Oral Health dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth as each patient’s needs are different. Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today. Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of your existing teeth, making them especially practical for use in front teeth or more visible areas of your smile.
Resin Composite
Veneers
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your smile, you may have considered dental veneers. These ultra-thin, custom-made shells of tooth-colored materials are designed to cover the front surface of your teeth to improve their appearance. They can be an excellent solution for many dental concerns, such as staining, chips, gaps, and misalignment, to name a few. But before you make a decision, it’s essential to learn more about dental veneers and determine if they’re the right treatment for you. So, we made this quiz about dental porcelain veneers so you can see how much you know about this popular way to improve your smile.
Crowns
Examination of existing restorations: We check current fillings, crowns and other dental restorations to ensure there are no problems requiring repair or replacement.
Bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed (non-removable) appliance and is an excellent way to replace missing teeth. There are several types of bridges and you and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case.
Dental Bonding
Procedures like teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding can help you achieve a dazzling smile you have always desired.
Restorative Dentistry
If you have any dental problems like cavities, missing teeth, or gum disease, our restorative dentistry services can help restore your oral health.

Root Canal Treatment
Experience the GentleWave® Procedure, an innovative complement to standard root canal treatment. It presents a major advancement that helps us achieve our goal to effectively clean a tooth’s entire root canal system, no matter how complex. The root canal system consists of intricate channels for the nerves and blood vessels. We are always evaluating technological advancements and incorporating them into our practice when we believe that doing so will help us provide a higher level of care than previously possible and help us save more teeth for more of our patients.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy does not require an overnight stay, and full aftercare instructions and pain medications will be provided, as needed. After several days, the dentist will remove the stitches, and the connective tissues will fully heal within several months after the procedure.

Periodontal Surgery
If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planning, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean.
Deep Cleaning
If the disease has progressed to more advanced stages, a special periodontal cleaning called scaling and root planning will be recommended. It is usually done one quadrant of the mouth at a time while the area is numb. In this procedure, tartar, plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line (scaling), and rough spots on root surfaces are made smooth (planing). This procedure helps gum tissue heal and pockets shrink. Medications, special medicated mouth rinses, and an electric toothbrush may be recommended to help control infection and healing.

Dentures
. Dr. Sam Shamardi can perform procedures, giving you new teeth that look and feel like your own. We can replace missing teeth and also provide fixed solutions to full dentures

Dental Implants
Since 1986, Boston Center for Oral Health has been providing Boston with comprehensive dental care in a warm and caring environment where patient comfort is the top priority. Our Back Bay practice is home to a team of experienced doctors including an endodontist, orthodontist, periodontist, prosthodontist and a preeminent, worldwide expert in the field of dental implants.

Our oral surgeons are affiliated with top hospitals including Massachusetts General and Boston Children’s Hospital.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Oral surgery: If the patient has cysts or abnormal non-cancerous growths, the dentist may decide to completely remove them. This can improve a patient’s comfort level, alleviate breathing problems and make speech substantially easier depending on the location of the cyst.
Jaw Surgery
Additionally, we have highly skilled oral surgeons who are experienced in performing a wide array of surgical procedures, such as extractions, dental implants, and corrective jaw surgery.
Gum Surgery
The reason we’re called the Boston Center for Oral Health is because we provide all the services that a patient could need; from routine dental care to root canals, from gum surgery to implants. Everybody wants white teeth and beautiful smiles. Our mission is to provide compassionate care. For more than 35 Years as your top Commonwealth Dental practice, we have our systems down. We have our personnel down. When you come to visit BCOH, you’re walking into a mature dental practice that knows how to treat people.
Maxillofacial Surgery
A study published in the Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery found that the appliance was effective in treating TMJ in 96% of patients. The study also found that the appliance was more effective than braces in treating TMJ.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction: Studies have shown that patients who have experienced a tooth extraction subsequently lose 40-60% of the bone surrounding the extraction site during the following three years. Loss of bone results in what is called a “bone defect”.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a highly successful procedure in most cases. It is also a preferable alternative to having missing teeth, diseased teeth or tooth deformities. Bone grafting can increase the height or width of the jawbone and fill in voids and defects in the bone.
