Meet Dr. Keith Long

"Dentistry is Fun!"

Spoken like a true dental nerd! The only thing that I like more than practicing dentistry is attending continuing education courses. My team and I are consistently taking courses to learn the latest techniques. I LOVE it! It is my goal to bring warm southern hospitality to our advanced care here at Southern Smiles. Implant dentistry and facial esthetics are my work passions, and I enjoy other things as well. I am often asked, "What would you do for a living if not dentistry?". What a great question! Listed in order (of choice... not talent, HA!):

Professional Golfer
Competition BBQ Chef
Air Taxi Pilot
Fish Taco Stand on a Beach...somewhere!

However, I am a dentist and because my lowest golfing handicap was 9.8, I remain committed to advanced dental care for my patients in a relaxing and caring environment.
