Meet Dr. Levine
Kenneth R. Levine D.D.S.
Dr. Kenneth Levine is a periodontist, a specialist in placing dental implants and treating the gums and other tissues that surround and support the teeth. He has been serving the residents of Broward County and Boca Raton since 1976 and is a highly accomplished and experienced expert in all aspects of periodontics.
Dr. Levine has always practiced on the philosophy of providing the highest quality treatment using the most up-to-date technology in a comfortable and caring environment. Therefore, staying on top of all the latest technical breakthroughs in his profession through extensive continuing education is important to him. He has implemented many of the most recently developed diagnostics and minimally invasive procedures into his practice. He is also a proficient, long-time educator of other practitioners, and currently serves as a continuing education provider to other dentists in Florida.
Delivering the highest standards of dental care and taking care of the oral health of others has been a life-long goal for Dr. Levine. “My father was a general dentist, and I decided to become a periodontist since I enjoyed the surgical aspects of dentistry,” he says. “I like helping to ensure patients keep their teeth in good health, with excellent function and aesthetics, for the rest of their lives. Dental health is essential for overall health, so I am also able to have a positive impact on their overall quality of life.”
