Your Trusted Prosthodontic Experience

Dr. Zev Kaufman

Dr. Kaufman has been practicing and teaching dentistry for over 30 years. Raised in a dental family, with his father also being a dentist, he has been immersed in the field since childhood and takes great pride in the quality and precision of his work. For more than three decades, he practiced on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, providing comprehensive prosthodontic and implant care to generations of patients—many of whom also reside in Palm Beach—making his presence here a natural extension of those long-standing relationships.
His academic journey began at New York University College of Dentistry in 1990. He earned his Doctorate in Dental Surgery, completed post-graduate specialty training in Prosthodontics, and completed advanced post-graduate certification and fellowship training in Implant Surgery and Restoration.
Today, Dr. Kaufman serves as a Course Director at NYU’s Periodontology and International Implant Department, where he has the honor of teaching post-graduate dentists from around the world. In clinical practice, he combines deep experience, advanced education, and modern digital technologies to deliver refined, natural-looking smiles.
Beyond the practice, Dr. Kaufman and his fiancée share a strong appreciation for health, creativity, and lifelong learning. Between them, they have four grown children. Dr. Kaufman maintains an active lifestyle and prioritizes fitness as part of his daily routine. He is also an avid road cyclist and enjoys connecting with others who share his passion for cycling.
