The field of periodontics and dental implants continues to advance, offering patients new and better treatment options. Patients' quality of life improves greatly when they are able to regain optimal function and a more attractive appearance.
I combine two aspects of my professional life as a periodontist and implantologist to offer the best and most comprehensive care to my patients. As an assistant professor at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, I am exposed to the most recent applications of research. In that environment, I have the opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences with research colleagues on the cutting edge of this work. In addition, I am involved in several clinical research papers myself.
I believe in a team approach to creating and implementing sound treatment plans by collaborating with patients, their dentists, and other medical and dental colleagues. Furthermore, I believe that obtaining oral health in my patients will benefit their overall systemic health. In fact, the National Institutes of Health have recently identified a link between periodontal disease and heart disease. I am committed to passing along my knowledge base to other dentists through my lectures and study club. Finally, I feel blessed to be part of a profession that constantly improves on the treatment choices that truly enhance our patients' well-being.

Dr. Molina and his dental assistants are very welcoming, professional and helpful. Dr. Molina is very knowledgeable and answered my questions in detail and in a way I was able to understand. The office staff is very nice and they work with you to accommodate your schedule. I always have a great experience at my appointments with Dr. Molina.

Very professional and high-quality service and treatment. In my case, it was a little bit complicated issue, but it was done on the high end.

I highly recommend Dr. Molina! I am an orthodontist myself and trust Dr. Molina with my own periodontal treatment! He is very detailed oriented, has excellent chair side manners (all my patients have complemented him on this!) and explains everything perfectly. His staff is incredible and they all follow very strict infection control protocols. Very happy to be a patient of this practice!

I broke a front tooth in a bicycle accident. Dr. Rabinovitz said it had 97% chance of a successful implant and my prior periodontist estimated 50% chance of needing a bridge that requires two neighboring teeth to be reshaped. Did not want that. He was successful and I was very pleased.

My implant experience at Lexington Periodontics and with Dr. Molina was seamless. Dr. Molina's technical capabilities, patience, and reassuring manner put me completely at ease. And every technician and the office staff mirror those same qualities. Being treated competently is obviously important. Being treated with respect is no less important, and uncommon. These folks have earned my highest recommendation.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Molina and his amazing team. I can't stress enough how well they took care of me. They are straight to the point and get to work. The office is in a beautiful location without the extra gimics to drag patients in (Netflix, TVs). I was sent over to them via a referral from a coworker. They said they have worked extensively with Dr. Rabinovitz and he is a trusted resource. Believe me, reviews matter and I did my research before accepting him. I love how they were straight forward with what I needed and waited until my FSA reset! I give them my full recommendation and in due time I will post before and after. Thank you so much.

Dr. Molina and his staff were very professional, the office was clean, and safety procedures were followed. They did a good job explaining the procedure to my teenage daughter and to me so that we are comfortable with next steps.
