Marc L Nevins, DMD MMSc PC

Dr. Nevins is simply the best. Dr. Nevins came highly recommended by my dentist (whom I trust implicitly) and two friends who had implants done by him. I had to have an implant done and, to be honest, I tried to avoid it as long as possible as I was worried about the procedure and the pain involved. It is a long process but i must say that after each appointment I am amazed at how efficient and understated the procedure is in terms of pain. Each step along the way, Dr. Nevins and his team have taken the time to explain what will be done including what I can expect post-​procedure and they have been spot on. Dr Nevins has also been patient with me as I’ve asked follow up questions or ask him to repeat again what the procedure will be. His work and process have been impressive. I’m not sure how to compare the cost of the procedure as this is the first implant i have had. That said, given this is your mouth I would not cut corners to save money. It’s not worth it. This is the time to focus on the best you can get and Dr Nevins is it.

I was a patient of Dr. Nevins several years ago and although expensive, it was money well spent… a high compliment from a frugal Yankee! My work involved replacing/​correcting a failed bone/​gum graft (performed by another dentist) so that an implant could be placed. When I had questions about a component of the procedure, Dr. Nevins called me on a weekend to clear up any questions. I experienced no post procedure pain and minimal swelling. If you are looking for high quality work, ESPECIALLY in a cosmetically sensitive area, Dr. Nevins has the medical, technical and artistic skills to do the job right.

Fancy office, slick doctor. I went in and was told I needed a $ 20K procedure immediately. I asked what my options were and was told I didn’t have any. Fortunately I got a second opinion and was told the procedure wouldn’t be of much benefit.

I was referred to Dr. Nevins by my wife who has been treated by him a number of times. I needed an implant to replace a tooth that was damaged in adolescence by a medical error. On my initial visits I was impressed by his professional office, friendly staff and comprehensive explanation of my treatment plan. The subsequent procedures were surprisingly pain free. He always uses a topical anesthetic so there’s none of the pinching and stinging I associate with needles in the dentist chair. And I always felt he was providing the best possible care which gave be a lot of confidence and relief. My regular dentist is very impressed with the results and has commented that Dr Nevins is a very talented surgeon. Dr Nevins went above and beyond to provide me with any documentation I needed. I definitely recommend him.

I was referred to Dr. Nevins by Dr. Nicholas Franco, Jr. who described him as the best in the business. I needed to replace my 4 upper front teeth. Before I went to see Dr. Nevins I saw 2 other periodontist to get my teeth fix, they could not help me with cause I did not have enough bone to put in implants. I am so happy I chose Dr. Nevins, He didn’t rush me, he uses the most up to date technology, and you can see he loves doing this. I feel like it’s his craft. Dr. Nevins made sure that my gums looked right and that before I had surgery there were no issues. He explained in detail, every time, why certain procedures or x-​rays were being done. He also did not surprise me with a bill at the last minute. He gave me the breakdown of the prices before I decided to have the surgery. The admin staff, Kathy and Stacy are so helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to pricing, payments, and insurance information.
My case was special, 1^st I had very small roots, not enough bone in that area. Dr. Nevins sat down with me to explain procedures and cost. He explained to me about Care Credit Card which I applied for to pay for his services. My 1^st appointment was a 3 D image and an impression of my upper front teeth for invisalign appliance. My 1^st procedure was November 20, 2013 when he removed my teeth and gave me a bone and skin graph then put in the invisalign appliance in my mouth. Dr. Nevins called me to see how I was doing and gave me his cell phone number to call in case I had any concerns over the weekend. During every procedure I was kept informed, asked if I was okay and recovery did require minimal pain medicine. Every procedure went great. It took me a year to get my teeth but it was worth it. I no longer wake up in pain from my front teeth. If I had to do it over again I would Call Dr. Nevins.

Clean office. Great staff. Professional service. Dr. Nevins knows what he’s doing.
As the old saying goes: «You get what you pay for.»
The service and work is top notch. I’ve worked with another oral surgeon before that was okay but Dr. Nevins does a full mouth consultation and does great work. Even his stitch work looks great and every procedure is pretty painless.
Dr. Nevins is a high demand Periodontist so it may be hard to get an appointment but its worth the wait in my opinion. And the office does not schedule too many patients at the same time but runs a very efficient office to make the most of each day, which I am okay with.
You come. You get what you need. You leave. All in a really nice dental office with a great doctor. What is there to complain about?
The lower star reviews seem based on the cost. Sometimes you have to pay a little more for better quality work. The last thing you want is an operation to not work out and have to pay for additional work to correct it. Just something to consider if you’re on the fence about paying a premium for any dental work.
If you want to find a good Periodontist — just call a bunch of doctor’s office in the area and ask them to refer you to two or three periodontist they would recommend. You’ll start seeing a trend. Same with dentists. Thats what I was told by someone in the dental industry years ago. It seems Dr. Nevins is a very popular choice amongst his peers.

I was referred to this doctor by a friend with similar dental needs here in the Boston area. He was referenced as a Harvard guy who is one of the better periodontist in this region. Dr. Nevins also had a father who was regarded highly in the dental community, I’m told. What was not shared is that this doctor is rather expensive. Ouch. You can appreciate it as you arrive in his fancy office. I don’t believe he shares the space with other doctors to defray expenses — so there you have it. Yes, he does OK work. I guess the same as other doctors around Boston with his credentials. However, it’s worth noting that he does not have a particularly polished ‘bedside manor’. You get a sense that he’s always in a rush to get to his next patient and has little time for your questions or concerns. This can come across as being impatient and a little impersonal considering how much you are paying for service and advice. Usually you are left to discuss options with his assistants. So bottom line, this doctor is good but be advised that he’s expensive and a bit aloof.

I was referred to Dr. Nevins by a relative who works in the dental field. I cannot say enough good things about him, his work and his staff. I have had multiple, extensive procedures in less than a year and a half. Before every procedure I was given a price so I knew before scheduling a date. He took the time to explain my options to me as well as changes in my dental plan that I had missed. During every procedure I was kept informed, asked if I was okay and recovery did not require pain medicine. Every procedure went great. I had heard horror stories prior to my first gum surgery that it was incredibly painful, could only eat yogurt for a month, out of work for weeks etc. Well I can tell you those folks didn’t go to Dr. Nevins. I am so thankful I did not let those stories scare me from going to my initial consultation. Keeping that appointment was the best decision I could have made. I can’t believe how much my oral health and appearance have improved! To anyone who is nervous, apprehensive about having any sort of gum surgery etc, make an appointment with Dr. Nevins.

I have had 4 periodontal procedures performed by Dr. Nevins over the past few years. They all went extremely smoothly, were pain-​free and the results are PERFECT! Dr. Nevins also does an excellent job of explaining the details of the procedure, putting you at ease and answering as many questions as you have without ever making you feel rushed. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

After what I would characterize as nothing short of a disaster with another supposedly top notch implant specialist, the experience I had with Dr Nevins was blissful! The comparison was dramatic. The courtesy, professionalism, cleanliness, efficiency, and the charming, caring, and friendly staff were impeccable. My surgery was handled in a spotlessly clean and sterile environment, I was given prophylactic antibiotics, and it was performed perfectly with no complications whatsoever. Again, the exact opposite of my other experience. Any of you concerned about cost should remember you get exactly what you pay for.

I needed 5 dental implants and was referred to Dr. Nevins by my dentist. He and his staff are all friendly and did a great job from start to finish. Dr. Nevins clearly explained the whole process to me at the first consultation, and the gum grafting procedure and implant procedure went perfectly with no complications. He clearly explained the at-​home care I needed to do after the surgery and he even called to check on how I was feeling. He is also great about setting follow-​up appointments to make sure everything is healing properly. Overall, I’m impressed with how smoothly the whole process went.

I was referred to this office by a former dentist who said Nevins was the best in the city. Best? Hmmmmm.
Ridiculously over priced services are what you’ll find at this sleek, modern office on Cambridge Street. If you have CEO level dental coverage and tons of money on top of that to pay for what isn’t covered, then I would say patronize this place but not before you check out a few other dentists first.
Who knows, you may find out that the cost for a single proceedure is less than half of what Nevins charges. In fact, my money says it will be.

I was referred to Dr. Nevins by my dentist for an implant. It was the best thing that my dentist has ever done for me. Words cannot explain the exceptional service I received and how great my new tooth looks (and it’s a front tooth). People can’t believe it’s an implant. His staff is so nice. They even remember my name every time I come in, even if it has been months since I have been in the office.
Before I went to see Dr. Nevins I saw 5 other periodontist to get an implant. I am so happy I chose Dr.Nevins. He didn’t rush me, he uses the most up to date technology, and you can see he loves doing this. I feel like it’s his craft. Dr. Nevins made sure that my gums looked right and that before I had surgery there were no issues. He explained in detail, every time, why certain procedures or x-​rays were being done. He also did not surprise me with a bill at the last minute. He gave me the breakdown of the prices months before we decided to have the surgery. The admin staff, Kathy and Stacy are so helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to pricing, payments, and insurance information.
The implant surgery itself was probably the least stressful dental surgery I have had. There was a whole staff there, they gave me a blanket to keep me warm, made sure I was very comfortable, and kept putting Vaseline on my lips to keep it from getting dry. All I had to do was close my eyes and wait for it to be over. The prices may be a little high, but trust me Dr. Nevins work is worth every single penny. He also checks up on you to make sure everything went well and that there are no issues.
Thank You Boston Periodontics and Dental Implants! You guys Rock!

I was referred to Dr Nevins by my primary dentist last year after they noticed a bump on my gum above my front tooth. I soon learnt that I would have to have my front tooth removed and have a dental implant put in. This news was terrifying to me! The cost, the pain, and the embarrassment of being without a front tooth, oh my. Dr Nevins and his staff were absolutely incredible providing excellent care, talking me through things, explaining things a million times if I needed it, and practically holding my hand during procedures (not Dr Nevins, obviously, but one of his many assistants). Dr Nevins is the rock star of periodontics with state of the art tools and procedures under his belt. The tooth extraction was quicker and easier than most fillings I’ve had. The office is spotless and has pretty nice views to boot. I hope I never have to go through this process again but I would go back to him in a heartbeat if I did.

Dr. Nevins, his staff and office are A+++. I had to have an implant done on my front tooth after a hockey injury 20 years ago and multiple different procedures and crowns. I was referred to Dr. Nevins from another esteemed local dentist as he was «the best» and I now agree. Although the procedure was very expensive, it was well worth the $$. I have spent probably 6 months of my life in the dentisit chair due to the lack of wearing facial protection on the ice. Dr. Nevins was so precise with his work that my implant looks flawless. When he conducted the procedure he had given me just the right amount of novocaine to numb the area he was working. After about 20 mins I felt it starting to wear off and I raised my hand to get his attention and tell him I was regaining feeling. When he turned around he already had the needle in his hand to give me a little more. I always loathe leaving the dentist with no feeling in my mouth for three hours because of the novocaine. This didn’t happen with Dr. Nevins. He was so precise and such a perfectionist with the novocaine that when I walked out the numbness had already begun wearing off. This is just one example of Dr. Nevins’ precision, which I truly appreciate in my dentist. Dr. Nevins is very much a perfectionist and it shows. He does work very quickly, but the results speak for themselves.

Dr. Nevins is great. The office itself is beautiful, and every time I’ve been in there I’ve felt totally comfortable with him and confident in what he was doing. After being referred by my present dentist to a periodontist that I was not all that comfortable with, I went and asked my childhood (read: up through college) dentist for a referral. He said that he knows of no other periodontist in the area who is as good as Dr. Nevins. That is only one opinion, of course, but my experience, for whatever it is worth, definitely backs it up. He’s knowledgeable, he explains everything to you, and has a general ease about him that helps when certain situations may not be the easiest for the patient. And everyone on his staff is extremely nice.
