Dr. Hanna Varno, DDS, Associate Biological Dentist at Virginia Biological Dentistry

With close to 15 years of experience as a general dentist, I am deeply passionate about holistic and biological dental care and providing patient-centered treatments that prioritize your overall health and well-being. My journey in dentistry began with a degree from the Belarusian State Medical University in 2006, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Virginia Commonwealth University. This diverse educational foundation has equipped me with a global perspective on dental care and a commitment to excellence.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in various settings, including private practices, community health networks, and international dental clinics. My roles have included providing comprehensive dental care at Dr. Hart’s previous office and other practices, as well as early-career work in the pediatric and general dentistry departments in Belarus. These experiences have refined my ability to address a wide spectrum of oral health needs, including providing compassionate and effective care for children. I am dedicated to addressing children’s oral health through holistic, prevention-focused methods and minimally invasive treatments, ensuring their dental visits are positive and stress-free. I also prioritize the use of non-metal, biocompatible materials that are safe and gentle for young patients.
I specialize in minimally invasive and biologically friendly techniques, focusing on preserving your natural teeth and restoring their strength and beauty through biomimetic dentistry. This approach mimics the natural structure and function of teeth, promoting long-term oral and systemic health. I also prioritize the use of biocompatible materials and advanced techniques to ensure safe and effective treatments.
In addition, I am deeply interested in the concept of meridians, which link teeth to specific body organs and systems. Based on traditional Chinese medicine, this philosophy highlights the connection between oral health and overall wellness. By understanding these links, I aim to provide treatments that support natural healing and address the root causes of health issues. This interest aligns with my desire to improve both body and mind through meaningful meditation that fosters balance, mindfulness, and a holistic mindset toward caring for my patients.
To stay at the forefront of dental advancements, I have completed extensive continuing education, including masterclasses in occlusion, TMJ dysfunctions, extraction socket grafting, and composite mastery. These courses enhance my ability to provide cutting-edge, biologically focused care that aligns with your unique needs and health goals.
As a licensed dentist in Virginia, certified in clear aligner treatment and minimal sedation, I offer a broad range of services with your comfort and well-being in mind. In collaboration with Dr. Olivia Hart, I am proud to provide personalized holistic dental care that addresses root causes, supports natural healing, and integrates seamlessly with your overall health.
Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my husband exploring the great outdoors. Together, we love hiking in the mountains, taking long bike rides, walking with our dog Bubba, and traveling both locally and abroad. These activities inspire balance and a connection to nature, which I bring into my approach to patient care.
My ultimate goal is to help you achieve optimal oral health and a healthy, radiant smile that enhances your confidence and improves your quality of life. Being part of your health journey is a privilege, and I am dedicated to ensuring you feel supported, comfortable, and empowered every step of the way.
