Patient Resources

Helpful Guidance That Supports Your Visit and Treatment Planning

We share practical information so you can feel prepared before, during, and after care. From forms and financial details to treatment expectations, these resources help you understand what comes next and make each step feel more manageable.
Your first appointment includes a comprehensive exam, 3D digital imaging, and a one-on-one conversation with Dr. Long about your goals and concerns. You’ll leave with a clear, personalized treatment plan and zero unanswered questions.
Save time on your first visit by completing your paperwork online. Our simple digital forms let you share your health history and insurance details from home, so you can walk in ready for care instead of filling out clipboards.
Quality dental care should fit your budget. We offer in-house payment plans and work with trusted financing partners like CareCredit, Cherry, and Proceed Finance so cost never stands between you and the smile you deserve.
Dental implants are a long-term commitment, and so are we. Our Implant Membership Plan combines the ongoing care your implants need, plus a 5-year warranty, so you can enjoy your new smile with confidence.

MEET OUR DOCTOR

Expert Surgery From a Doctor Who Understands

At Old North Dentures and Implants, we focus exclusively on implant dentistry and full-mouth restoration, taking the time each case truly deserves. Our quality-over-quantity approach means you receive personalized attention from a doctor who genuinely understands what you’re going through.

Dr. Robert Long

DMD

Before becoming an implant dentist, Dr. Long was a patient himself. Growing up with a severe nine-millimeter underbite, he underwent double jaw surgery and spent three months on a soft-food diet. That experience shapes how he approaches every consultation today, with genuine empathy that can’t be taught in residency.

After earning his DMD from the University of North Carolina, he completed a hospital-based residency at Augusta University under internationally recognized mentors. He has logged over 600 hours of advanced implant training, including the AAID MaxiCourse and ORCAA full arch program. With five years of private practice in the Triangle and thousands of implants placed, Dr. Long brings both surgical precision and lived understanding to every patient he treats.
