About

Dr. Alex Rubinov stands as a beacon of excellence in cosmetic dentistry, operating from the prestigious 1 Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 2229, in the heart of New York City. As a third-generation dentist, Dr. Rubinov carries forward a rich family legacy of dental mastery, with his grandfather, grandmother, and father all distinguished professionals in the field. This heritage instilled in him an unwavering commitment to precision, artistry, and patient-centered care from an early age. Graduating with distinction from the renowned Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, Dr. Rubinov honed his skills through a rigorous residency at Mount Sinai, where he received world-class training. He further elevated his expertise by collaborating with legendary cosmetic dentists Dr. Michael Apa and Dr. Larry Rosenthal, absorbing their innovative techniques before founding his own practice, Dr. Alex, dedicated to transformative smile makeovers.[3][1]

The mission of Dr. Alex's practice is profoundly simple yet ambitious: to empower individuals by designing smiles that not only enhance aesthetics but also profoundly impact lives. Dr. Rubinov views dentistry not merely as a medical service but as an art form capable of boosting confidence, career prospects, and personal fulfillment.

At the core of Dr. Rubinov's services is the comprehensive **smile makeover**, a meticulously crafted process encompassing consultation, digital smile mapping, and bespoke treatments like porcelain veneers, gum adjustments, and full-mouth rehabilitations. Common patient visits include dental cleanings, consultations, emergencies, new patient exams, and extractions, but his true specialization shines in advanced cosmetic procedures that address crowding, misalignment, and aesthetic imperfections without unnecessary invasiveness. Videos on his site detail the four-step journey to transformation, from initial assessment to final reveal, showcasing real patient stories like Kenya's remarkable smile evolution.[3][7][1]

What sets Dr. Alex Rubinov apart in the competitive landscape of NYC dentistry is his unique blend of clinical mastery, celebrity-level artistry, and genuine patient empathy. Unlike traditional practices focused on routine care, Dr. Alex integrates cutting-edge technology with a holistic understanding of facial aesthetics, ensuring smiles harmonize with individual features.

Patient testimonials rave about his patience, clear explanations, and exceptional bedside manner, with a 4.89-star rating from 28 Zocdoc reviews highlighting minimal wait times and child-friendly accommodations.[1][3]

Dr. Rubinov's expertise is evident in before-and-after transformations, such as two-year post-op cases maintaining gorgeous results or full rehabilitations correcting extreme crowding. He emphasizes that 'ortho isn’t the answer for everyone,' offering tailored alternatives like veneers for those who've tried Invisalign without success. His team's strength and collaborative spirit further distinguish the practice, as seen in social posts celebrating milestones from 2006 family assists to 2025 season wrap-ups. Located in Midtown Manhattan's iconic Rockefeller area, the office exudes luxury and accessibility, with multiple phone lines ensuring seamless booking.[3][5][6]

I cannot express enough how wonderful my experience has been with Dr. Alex and his fantastic team! After years of seeking a trustworthy dentist, I finally discovered the perfect one located in the heart of beautiful Rockefeller Plaza in NYC. Dr. Alex skillfully addressed my numerous dental concerns, including old metal crowns from my childhood and long-standing TMJ issues. My fear of the dentist was profound, but from our very first meeting, I felt at ease and confident in his hands. Now that my treatment is complete, which included Invisalign, porcelain crowns, and veneers, I am filled with gratitude! For the first time in years, I can smile with true confidence and joy. Dr. Alex is not only exceptionally skilled but also one of the most genuine and caring individuals I have ever met. He listens attentively, crafts with precision, and truly cares about his patients. His meticulous attention to detail is impressive, and his team is professional, kind, and compassionate. They made this experience remarkable, and I wholeheartedly recommend them! Not only have I found my lifelong dental care team, but I’ve also made friends for life! If you're looking for an unparalleled dental experience with the best team, look no further—go see them! You will be glad you did!

My dad was my dentist my whole life, so it was hard going to a new dentist and finding someone as good in my eyes. I could not have dreamed up a better replacement. Dr. Alex and his team provide the highest level of professionalism and care, while also making you feel at home- from stepping into their beautiful new office, to being in their hands during conversation and in the chair. I love Dr. Alex and could not recommend him and his team enough. I send everyone I know here.
