ABOUT DR. DELONG

Dr. Shepard DeLong is redefining the future of modern dentistry — one rooted in science, biocompatibility, and whole-body health.

A pioneer in the field of ceramic implantology, Dr. DeLong is among the few U.S. clinicians specializing exclusively in metal-free zirconia implants, robotic-assisted surgery, and minimally invasive treatment planning. His patient-centered philosophy integrates advanced tools like Yomi® robotic-guided implant surgery, PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) therapy, CBCT 3D imaging, ozone therapy, and AI-enhanced planning — all designed to improve outcomes with less pain and faster healing.

Dr. DeLong’s work bridges the long-standing divide between medicine and dentistry. He collaborates with medical professionals to elevate patient outcomes, empower education, and inspire a new standard of integrative care.
