Dr Long started her dental career in 1994 working along side her husband, David Long
CDT in the dental laboratory where they focused their expertise in restoring dental implants
with hand crafted custom abutments and crowns. Together they were on the pioneering for
front leading the way in custom bar fabrication for precision attachments and over dentures
for full arch restorations. Over the years she has attended many hours of continuing
education around the USA in dental technology and has worked for prestigious
laboratories such as Kelley Dental Lab, TLC (Teeth by Layman and Cason), Winter Springs
Dental Lab, Precision Ceramics.
In 2002 she was accepted into the Dental Hygiene program at the University of Louisville
School of Dentistry and graduated with her AS and BS degrees in 2004. Many of her
professors, recognizing her exceptional academic achievements encouraged her to apply
for the DMD program. She was excepted for the 2004 freshman class. During her time in
dental school, she served as Class President, worked part-time in the Radiology
department and Sterilizer monitoring program and also practiced Dental Hygiene at
Woodside Dental.
Following graduation Dr Long worked as a general dentist at Barry Ceridan and Associates,
Falls City Family Dentistry and Cane Run Smile Center. During this time she founded 4th
Street Dental Spa in Louisville KY. Her focus was on Cosmetic Dentistry . During this time
Dr Long became aware of the frustration her patients experienced that needed dental
implants, but were unable to have treatment because of the financial burden of having
multiple procedures performed at different offices to complete restoration. Dr Long then
decided to focus her education and career on the placing and restoring of dental implants.
She attended and completed the Professional Implant Course of AIC and joined
prestigious organizations such as The American Academy Of Implant Dentistry and The
International Congress Of Implantology. Already having prior knowledge and experience of
the fabrication process, she turned her focus to the continuing education of implant
placement and oral surgical procedures. Realizing her natural ability for treatment planning
and surgical placement of dental implants this reaffirmed her passion for restorative
dentistry.
Dr Long and her husband, David Long CDT embarked on a mission to have the first all
inclusive dental implant center in this region with surgical placement and the fabrication of
restoration with an on-site dental laboratory. In November of 2010 the remodeling and
building of Right Choice Dental Implant Center in Jeffersonville Indian began.
Since Dr Long started placing dental implants, she has placed and restored over 1000
dental implants with a 98% success rate and continues her education in advanced implant
dentistry.
