At Ryan Long Dental, we believe going to the dentist shouldn't feel rushed, impersonal, or stressful. Dr. Ryan Long and Dr. Soto have spent over a decade building a practice rooted in genuine care, honest communication, and high-quality dentistry for the whole family.
Whether you're due for a cleaning, need restorative work, or are looking for a new dental home, we're here for you.
Make an Appointment
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:
Meet
Dr. Long founded Ryan Long Dental with one goal in mind: to create a practice where patients feel genuinely heard and cared for. With over 13 years serving the Dayton area, he brings deep experience in restorative dentistry–including crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures–and a hands-on approach where every procedure is performed by the doctor, start to finish.
Dr. Nathaniel Soto brings a two-year General Practice Residency, advanced training in implants, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry, and a dental sleep medicine residency from the University of Michigan to Ryan Long Dental. With hundreds of hours of continuing education, he is committed to comprehensive, compassionate care for every patient he sees.
