The Dayton Dentist Who Takes Time to Listen

In a world of corporate dental chains and rushed appointments, Ryan Long Dental is different. We're a small, privately owned family practice where you're treated like a person — not a time slot.

When you come in, we take the time to explain your treatment options, answer your questions, and work with you to build a plan that fits your life. We want you to walk out feeling heard, comfortable, and confident in your care.

What sets us apart from other Dayton dentists:

  • No corporate oversight — just dentists who care deeply about your health
  • Every treatment is explained before we begin, so you're always in the loop
  • Friendly, familiar faces who know your name — not just your chart
  • All procedures performed by the doctor, not expanded functions
  • We respect your preferences, including fluoride-free options if you prefer

I arrived in the Gem City in 2017 and have only used Dr. Long for my dental care. His team, or should I say, his extended family at work, are the utmost professionals and have the absolute best bedside manner. This is the BEST oral care from the friendliest staff, I and my family have ever received. I recommend anyone and everyone to them. Amazing folks, very knowledgeable staff, and I actually enjoy going and catching up with everyone! I highly recommend. Oh yeah, Dr. Long himself- He's an absolute Artist. Superb!!!!
