At Hereford Dental Health, we believe great dentistry begins with trust. Since opening our practice in 1997, Dr. Craig Longenecker has created a place where patients feel genuinely welcomed, listened to, and cared for.
We take the time to understand your concerns, explain your options clearly, and provide thoughtful care focused on your long-term oral health.
Whether you’re visiting us for a routine cleaning, cosmetic treatment, or restorative care, our goal is the same: to help you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in every decision about your smile.
Our ServicesDentistry That Puts People First
Our philosophy is simple: provide comprehensive, conservative dental care that puts your needs first. That means:
Taking time to listen before recommending treatment
Focusing on prevention whenever possible
Preserving healthy tooth structure whenever we can
Explaining your options clearly so you can make informed decisions
Treating every patient with compassion, respect, and honesty
As a privately owned dental practice, we have the freedom to focus on what matters most: our patients. We take the time to listen, recommend care based on your individual needs, and build long-term relationships founded on trust.
A Team That Feels Like Family
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be welcomed by a team that genuinely enjoys caring for people. Many of our team members have been with Hereford Dental Health for more than 10 years, providing the consistency and familiar faces that patients appreciate.
Our hygienists are known for their thorough, gentle care, while our front office team helps every visit run smoothly with warm, attentive service. Together, we work to create a calm, supportive environment where patients feel comfortable asking questions and taking an active role in their care.
Many of our patients are multi-generational families who have trusted us with their dental care for years. We consider it a privilege to care for children, parents, and grandparents alike.
Insurance & Financing
Technology should make your experience more comfortable, more efficient, and more precise. That’s why we use modern tools such as digital X-rays, CBCT imaging, intraoral cameras, digital impressions, and soft tissue laser technology to support accurate diagnosis and comfortable treatment.
While we continue to invest in advanced technology, what matters most is how we care for our patients. Every visit is centered on clear communication, thoughtful treatment planning, and helping you feel confident about your oral health.
