More than 40 years ago, Dr. Henry Long established a small family dental office in Cleburne, TX that offered experienced care, comfortable attention, and the highest standards of service possible for his neighbors throughout the local community. In 1995, he was joined by his son Dr. Robert Long (also known as Dr. Bob), followed by his younger son Dr. Chris Long (also known as Dr. Chris) in 2004. While Dr. Henry is now retired, Dr. Bob and Dr. Chris are so proud to carry on his work today, continuing a legacy of devoted, patient-centric oral healthcare that will hopefully continue for many more years to come. In addition to the original Cleburne dental office, we now have a second dental office in Midlothian, which means were conveniently located for even more families throughout the greater DFW area.
From the very beginning, our dental office has been in the capable hands of one dedicated family, and theres nothing we enjoy more than being able to help patients feel like honorary members. Dr. Bob and Dr. Chris were raised right here in Cleburne, and while our locations and available services may expand over time, our entire team is committed to maintaining the local, tight-knit atmosphere that seems like a second home every time you walk through the front door.
At Long Family Dental, we dont believe in the idea of one size fits all care. Every person has different goals and priorities, and their smiles are wholeheartedly unique as well. Thats why our doctors go out of their way to help patients develop comprehensively custom treatment plans that are well-suited to their personal needs, scheduling concerns, and budgetary limitations. We want to help you reach the vision you have in mind for your future oral health and happiness.
We get it dentistry is often an investment, and you should be able to trust in your chosen dental office to provide durable, attractive improvements that last for the long-term. In addition to maintaining top-tier clinical standards, our staff also goes above and beyond to emphasize excellent customer service, providing excellent comfort in the treatment chair and addressing questions and concerns as soon as they arise. Simply put, we want to create trusting relationships with our patients that last for years to come!
The dental field is constantly evolving for the better, and patients can find widespread evidence of these technological advancements right here in our Cleburne dental office. Dr. Bob and Dr. Chris regularly use modern tools like all-digital X-rays, intraoral cameras, putty-free impressions with 3M, and custom crown milling throughout the treatment process to create even more successful outcomes for smiles.
With Dr. Henry Long as a father, its easy to say that Dr. Bob was born into the profession. Hes helped out in the dental office ever since he was a little boy, and working in the healthcare field just felt like a natural choice over time. Throughout his younger years, he was able to see firsthand the positive impact that his fathers care could have a patients health and self-image, and he wanted to be able to do the same for his very own patients one day.
After achieving his undergraduate degree from Baylor University, Dr. Bob pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. He also completed a two-year General Practice Residency at University Hospital, where he received advanced training in IV sedation and oral surgery. This program allowed him the valuable opportunity to work with medically compromised patients and gain even more exposure in cosmetic care, dental, and complex restorative procedures. He still regularly pursues continuing education, having recently attended a course in sinus grafting for dental implants at the Aikos Institute.
Dr. Bob has been married to his wife Kim for nearly 30 years; she is a United Methodist Pastor. They have two grown children named Becca and Zach together. When he has spare time outside of the dental office, he enjoys hunting, working at the family ranch, traveling, staying active at church, and simply being with his loved ones.
Dr. Chris may have grown up around the world of dentistry, but what really inspired him to enter the oral healthcare field alongside his father and his brother was his love of helping people! He also really enjoys the world of medicine. The career felt like a great fit for his strengths and passions, and all these years later, hes never regretted it for a second.
Dr. Chriss college career started at the University of North Texas, where he completed his Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. In 2002, he was accepted to the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, where he achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery. He also regularly pursues advanced training in order to stay abreast of the latest advancements in modern dentistry, which includes courses in root canal therapy, dental implant surgery, and cosmetic dentistry. Hes the proud recipient of the Top 40 Dentist Under Age 40 in America from Incisal Edge magazine!
Dr. Chris and his wife Emily have two sons named Jackson and Brennan both of whom plan on becoming dentists when they grow up! Whenever he has spare time outside of Long Family Dental, he hangs out with his loved ones, goes hunting, fishes, and plays golf.

I have a pretty high standard for dental offices and Long Family Dental in Cleburne exceeded those expectations. The facility is top tier first of all and their equipment is state of the art. They're extremely thorough in how they take care of you, but what really impressed me was the customer service. From the moment I entered the office to when I left, I was taken care of and felt listened to. All of my questions were answered and I left more informed than when I came in. Taylor cleaned my teeth and she is a master of her craft. I actually asked her for some numbing gel before we started and she said that was available, but asked if I could try without the gel. I agreed and y'all, there was ZERO pain. It felt more like my teeth and gums were being massaged than anything. Doctor Chris was well informed and on top of it, we talked about my teeth and gums and what I could be doing better; but the way he spoke I never felt lectured to. He has a really good way about him where most dentists seem like they're speaking down to you because you're not flossing enough or what have you, Dr. Chris is speaking with you like a human being. 10/10, will absolutely be a patient of theirs as long as I'm in the region.

Love the doctors and staff at Long Family Dental! I originally saw Dr. Henry Long MANY years ago. After his retirement, Dr. Chris Long took over my dental needs. Chris and his staff continue to provide excellent care, just as I received from his dad. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and efficient. I appreciate each of them for their great service!

After trying 3 different dentists over the past 20 years I was told by a friend to go to Dr. Bob & Dr. Chris Long if I wanted to be taken care of by the best. I am so happy with the work they both do, the wonderful friendly staff and feel blessed to know them. They are definitely the best!

Exceptional visit. Everyone was courteous and friendly. The ladies at the front desk, Stephanie and Jaycee, Christina the hygienist, and Dr. Bob made me feel like family. Christina did an excellent job at cleaning my teeth and examining. Very positive experience. I would recommend Long Family Dental to any and everyone.
