Roberto Varela, DDS
Dr. Roberto Varela graduated from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill School of Dentistry. He realized he wanted to work in the dental field after working with Navy dentists while serving his last year of active duty in the US Marines. He initially worked as a dental hygienist before becoming a dentist.
As a father of two young boys, Dr. Varela understands how important it is to provide children with a meaningful yet enjoyable first experience at the dentist. It is important for dentists to convey trust and comfort to both the parents and their children at every visit. He also enjoys working with his military patients. As a veteran himself, he finds it easy to relate to active duty or veterans and feels it is an honor to treat them like family.
Dr. Varela is part of the North Carolina Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and the Durham Orange Dental Society. He has also volunteered at Vida’s de Esperanza in Siler City, Wake Smiles in Raleigh, and the North Carolina Missions of Mercy.
In his spare time, Dr. Varela enjoys reading, watching sports, and spending time with his family.
