I have had the distinct pleasure of knowing Craig Longenecker for over fifteen years both personally and professionally. We have seen Craig and Liz start both their family as well as start his dental practice and both have been brought into fruition with great care, love and due diligence. Craig and his associates/staff have always treated his patients as if they were part of an extended family, you can feel the bond as soon as you walk in the door… While there is complete professionalism, there is also no shortage of laughter which serves to make me feel right at home in his chair.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Craig for over 10 years. I have total confidence in him and his entire staff. Going for check-ups there is always a positive, enjoyable experience. An enjoyable experience at the dentist? Yes!

Hereford Dental Health provides the most thorough dental care I’ve ever had. Feeling confident in the care I receive is invaluable. What really sets them apart is the amount of patience everyone at the office has. I never feel rushed; whether I’m there for a cleaning or otherwise, they take time to explain options and walk through procedures. Even though I’ve moved away and it is no longer convenient to visit Dr. Craig, I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

We all know that “everyone hates to go to the dentist”. However, I have found at Hereford Dental Health, you are treated by happy, professional people from the front desk to the dental chair. I’ve had extensive work done from restoring old fillings and crowns, to replacing bad veneers. I’m pleased to say Dr. Longenecker has done an amazing job. I am 100% satisfied.

I feel very fortunate to have such an excellent team of dental experts in Northern Baltimore County. Hereford Dental Health is a top-notch practice; from the inviting and comfortable waiting room atmosphere, to the warm and friendly staff and the extremely clean treatment rooms. Dr. Longenecker’s practice is by far the place to go for high quality, gentle dental care for the entire family. I’ve been Dr. Longenecker’s patient for over 15 years; now, I take my three children to him, too. The staff all work well with children. I love my white healthy teeth and Hereford Dental Health gives me a lot to smile about!

Cosmetic &
Restorative Dentistry

What does the term “cosmetic dentistry” mean? Simply stated, traditional dentistry focuses on hygiene, prevention, and the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases. Cosmetic dentistry’s main goal is to improve the appearance of your smile. Restorative dentistry focuses on restoring your mouth to its most effective functionality. When we complete your smile and make your teeth and mouth function properly, restorative dentistry can enhance your smile and oral health!
