What Our Patients Are Saying

Boston Dentist Since 1984, Thousands of Happy Patients

Went in for TMJ issues and they were super helpful. They explained every step of the process and moved very quickly to get everything figured out!

Taylor Whiwell

This is a tremendous dental practice. It has stat-of-the-art equipment and procedures for cleanings and more involved procedures. Dr. Morreale is an excellent dentist, who is very knowledgeable and very concerned with practicing dentistry without pain. My hygienist, Laura, is also exceptional performing my cleanings.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Morreale and the staff at Boston Center for Oral Health. I had TMJ, they have literally changed my life.

Sarah Cahn

I have, and will continue to recommend people to Dr. Morreale, Pat and the team at BCOH. The care is great, and for anyone with worries about going to the dentist during the pandemic, this office had nothing to worry about before the craziness. It's one of the cleanest offices you'll encounter. And for anyone fearing the concept of a dentist, they'll absolutely change your mind!
