COVID-19 UPDATE

MDS Board Updates Guidance on COVID-19 Office Closures

“As Massachusetts continues to move through what is believed to be the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Massachusetts Dental Society (MDS) Executive Committee and Board of Trustees met today to discuss its COVID-19 guidance for dentists practicing in the Commonwealth. Taking into consideration guidance from the CDC, ADA, Massachusetts DPH, and Governor Baker's administration, the MDS recommends that dental offices in the Commonwealth remain closed to patients seeking elective and non-urgent care at least through May 18th”.

The MDS will continue to closely monitor the CDC, ADA, state DPH, and the Governor’s guidelines and will consider modifying its recommendation as needed.  

Thank you and stay healthy,

Joan Vallera DDS and then entire VFCD family

Our History

Vallera Family & Cosmetic Dentistry  would like to welcome patients and their families to explore the incredible history that resides within the practice.

Dr. Paul Welch originally founded the practice, once called Paul X Welch DDS, in 1964. Dr. Welch, now 81, is the youngest of three generations of dentists in his family.

The Welch tradition began with his father, Francis and two uncles, Michael and Edward, when they opened their practice in downtown Springfield in 1910.

Dr. Welch graduated from American International College, Baltimore College of Dental Surgery and the University of Maryland.
