Meet Your Dentist in Greeley, CO

Dr. Buchman was born in Germany and raised in Nebraska. She earned her degree in Biochemistry from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (where she also met her husband), then moved to Utah for dental school. She completed her prosthodontic residency and master’s degree in Minnesota, where she received advanced training in restorative, implant, and surgical prosthodontics. She loves all areas of prosthodontics, has a special interest in surgical and implant cases, and is especially excited about changing smiles and restoring function for patients. Outside the office, Bree is an avid runner, reader, and unapologetic Call of Duty fan. She and her husband share their home with two miniature dachshunds and have a long-standing love for rescuing senior dogs. If patients want to chat about dogs, books, or running, she’s always happy to join the conversation.

Dr. Stuart Long earned his DMD from Roseman University of Health Sciences College of Dental Medicine in 2015 after completing his undergraduate degree in economics at the University of Utah. He has extensive experience in comprehensive dentistry, oral surgery, dental anesthesia, and wisdom teeth removal.

After several years in private practice, including serving as a partner dentist in Golden, Colorado, Dr. Long expanded his focus on oral surgery and anesthesia. He completed an oral surgery internship with OMS Logistics, where he provided oral surgery and anesthesia services as part of a mobile surgical team serving dental practices across Tennessee and Ohio. Since 2024, he has continued providing mobile oral surgery and anesthesia services to dental offices in Colorado and Utah.

Dr. Long has been performing tooth extractions and oral surgery since 2019 and has completed thousands of wisdom tooth extractions. He performs both routine and surgical wisdom tooth removal, including fully erupted, partially impacted, and fully impacted wisdom teeth. At our Greeley office, Dr. Long performs wisdom tooth extractions in-house as well as handling a wide range of other cases, with referral generally reserved for medically compromised patients who may require treatment in a hospital setting.

Careful imaging and treatment planning are an important part of his approach. Panoramic X-rays are routinely used to evaluate wisdom teeth, and CBCT imaging may also be used when additional three-dimensional detail is needed. Dr. Long emphasizes minimally traumatic surgical techniques designed to support a smoother procedure and recovery.

Dr. Long has also pursued extensive additional training in sedation and dental anesthesiology. He completed more than 60 hours of didactic instruction and more than 20 clinical cases in IV moderate sedation through the Summit Institute. He also completed dental anesthesiology externships and rotations at institutions including NYU Langone Hospital, The Ohio State University, Stony Brook University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center.

For patients undergoing wisdom tooth removal, Dr. Long offers IV sedation when appropriate. He has completed thousands of sedation cases, and many patients choose sedation for their procedure. Patients often comment on how smooth the experience feels, with some waking afterward surprised that the procedure has already been completed.

His professional affiliations include the American Dental Association®, Academy of General Dentistry, and American Dental Society of Anesthesiology.

Throughout his career, Dr. Long has also remained involved in community service. He has provided donated dental care through Dental Lifeline Network and Jefferson County Court Support, volunteered as a student dentist in the Dominican Republic, and previously served as a Make-A-Wish Foundation wish granter.

His combination of general dentistry experience, focused oral surgery training, extensive wisdom tooth extraction experience, and advanced sedation education allows him to approach surgical dental care with an emphasis on careful planning, patient comfort, and a well-rounded understanding of each patient’s overall dental needs.
