Dr. Justin Long purchased Light Touch Dentistry from Dr. Novotny in 2012. Dr. Novotny worked hard to build and establish the practice which he started back in 1979 in Huron, OH. Dr. Long has continued his tradition of excellence by focusing on individual patient needs. With his terrific staff, Dr. Long provides comprehensive dentistry for patients of all ages, including:

comprehensive exams | cleanings | whitening | cosmetic dentistry | invisalign | dentures | extractions | crowns, bridges, veneers | composite (tooth-colored) fillings | root canals | and much more including laser treatment for gum disease

Originally from the city of Portland, Michigan, Dr. Justin Long graduated with a B.S. in Mathematics from Michigan State University in 2007. He then continued his education at Case Western Reserve University where he received a D.M.D. degree from the Dental school in 2012.

Dr. Long took over Light Touch Dentistry located in Huron, OH from Dr. Donald Novotny in 2012 and has continued Dr. Novotnys great tradition of excellent patient care. Dr. Long is a member of the American Dental Association, Ohio Dental Association, North Central Ohio Dental Society, and Academy of General Dentistry. He believes in keeping up with the latest dental techniques through continuing education and following scientific evidence on treatment, which is why Dr. Long is certified in Invisalign as well as LANAP. Invisalign is a clear way to straighten teeth. LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) is a gum surgery designed to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease with a specialized laser. This is a better alternative to the traditional periodontal surgery where scalpels and sutures are used.

I enjoy getting to know my patients and I try to customize my treatment plans to them. What works for one patient doesnt work for the next. Everyone in the Sandusky/Huron area has been exceptionally welcoming and I cant think of a better way to give back than with individual care and kindness in my office.

Dr. Long, his wife Cara, and their two sons enjoy living in Huron, OH. Together with their two dogs, they enjoy walking, running, biking, and anything else related to exercise. They are members of the Sandusky Ski Club where they have fun snowboarding and socializing. Dr. Long is also a board member of the Huron Chamber of Commerce.
