Kenneth F. Wallace, DMD Kenneth F. Wallace is a native Kentuckian. He grew up in Prestonsburg, KY, and graduated from Transylvania University in Lexington, KY, in 1982. He then attended graduate school and did research at University of Kentucky, followed by dental school at UK. After graduating in 1989, he was an associate at a dental practice in Lexington for a year and then in Fort Fairfield, Maine. Dr. Wallace and his wife then decided to come home, and he has practiced in Florence since 1993.
Dr. Wallace is a longtime member of the American Dental Association, Kentucky Dental Association, Northern Kentucky Dental Society and the Better Business Bureau. Dr. Wallace and his wife, Olivia, have been married for well over 30 years and have one daughter, Maggie, who is soon to graduate from Transy.
Dr. Wallace is an avid UK fan, although we welcome patients from all sports persuasions (even U of L). He is an enthusiastic (although mediocre) golfer and amateur musician. He is also a history buff and is frequently known to entertain patients during procedures with such classics as the history of cheese.
Francis Chairside Assistant Francis has been chairside assisting for Dr. Wallace since 2001. She is a bit like Radar OReilly on MASH and generally knows what the doctor wants before he does. She is a country girl through and through and loves her many animals and trucks.
Oliva Office Manager Olivia gave up her own career in medicine to become a full-time mom when her daughter was born. In 2012, when Dr. Wallaces original office manager retired, Olivia came to work at the dental office. She does everything related to the front desk: Office manager, receptionist, biller, insurance coordinator, bookkeeper and scheduler, etc.

Beware of this dental office! Don't get your dentures here. After 5 months, I finally cancelled mine because I can no longer wait for it. Their office is also the only unclean dental office I've ever been in. Use them at your own risk. Not so much as the dentist, but the dishonest woman who is running his practice. Make sure you document and record all your transactions and engagement with her. Keep a log because she may use it against you when things go wrong. Would not recommend this business to anyone. Would not want anyone to experience the terrible things I went through with her.

Dr. Wallace is the Best!! Always Professional and gives precise information about your exam. The Dental Assistant is an asset to the firm. She is never without a smile. You won't see "flashy" equipment. What you will get, is a certified Dentist DMD who provides "Service From The Heart". Dr. Wallace has been my Dentist for over 18 years. I love the guy. Mark Arbuckle

I am a new patient to this practice and I couldn't be more pleased. The staff is super friendly and professional. Dr. Wallace addressed my TMJ issues while also listening and addressing my cosmetic concerns. I left feeling like my smile was 10 years brighter, but more importantly I have a plan to help my headaches and decrease my teeth grinding at night. If you are wondering if you can have a brighter smile, and exceptional dental care, please call to make an appointment today!
