Peter J. Kaufman, DMD, is an oral surgeon in Sarasota who

specializes in oral surgery and dental implants. When it comes to

providing exceptional services, we give you something to smile

about.

​

Dr. Kaufman prides himself on rendering personal care and

attention to detail. Many therapies are available, and choosing the

best treatment for a specific condition requires knowledge of

treatment alternatives and experience. He will explain the

necessary care, as well as treatment options for each patient.

​

Only after the patient fully understands the factors involved in

rendering optimal care, will treatment begin. For that reason, a

personal consultation is suggested for anyone who needs unique

care or has medical concerns or conditions that require

specialized care. Dr. Kaufman will work with your personal dentist

or physician to ensure the best possible care.
