Some news is worth pausing for.
Cedar Village Dentistry is proud to share that Dr. Thomas Dooley, Dr. Timothy Longo, Dr. Erica McDavid, and Dr. Sunny Sandhu have been recognized among Cincinnati Magazine’s Top Dentists 2026. The recognition appears in Cincinnati Magazine’s Top Dentists coverage, including a feature on Cedar Village Dentistry and the magazine’s Top Dentists section.
For our team, this is more than a nice announcement. It is a reflection of the kind of care we try to provide every day in Mason: personal, comfortable, thorough, and focused on helping patients feel confident about their health.
Patients do not choose a dentist based on awards alone. They choose a dental team because they feel heard. They come back because the experience feels different. They refer family and friends because they trust the people taking care of them. That is what makes this recognition meaningful.
What Top Dentist recognition means to us
Being included on Cincinnati Magazine’s Top Dentists list is an honor. But at Cedar Village Dentistry, the more meaningful measure is whether patients actually feel taken care of when they walk through the door.
Our doctors bring different backgrounds and areas of focus, but they share the same core goal: helping people feel better about their smiles and their health.
Dr. Dooley’s practice spans general, preventive, cosmetic, implant, surgical, and IV sedation dentistry. Dr. Longo brings a comfort-first approach to general and preventive care, cosmetic dentistry, IV sedation, and implants. Dr. McDavid focuses on personalized care and the connection between a healthy smile and overall health. Dr. Sunny is known for building lasting relationships in a welcoming environment grounded in trust and respect.
That range exists because dental needs don’t fit a single mold. Some patients need a cleaning and a simple plan to stay on track. Others need sedation because anxiety has kept them out of the chair for years. Some need implants, crowns, emergency care, or help rebuilding confidence after a long and frustrating history with dentistry.
A practice built around comfort and trust
Dental anxiety is real, and Cedar Village Dentistry has always taken it seriously.
From the first visit, the goal is to make sure patients feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely respected. New patients are welcomed into an environment where the team takes the time to listen, answer questions without rushing, explain what’s going on, and build a care plan that actually fits the person in the chair. That first appointment typically includes full-mouth x-rays, oral cancer screening, a thorough periodontal and tooth exam, and unhurried time with the dentist.
That kind of experience can shift the way someone thinks about dental care entirely. Instead of feeling processed or judged, patients leave with a clear picture of where they stand and what their options are.
For patients who struggle with anxiety, Cedar Village Dentistry also offers sedation dentistry. The approach is pressure-free from the consultation forward, designed so that fear doesn’t have to be the reason someone keeps putting off care they need.
Comprehensive care under one roof
One reason patients keep coming back to Cedar Village Dentistry is that most of what they need is available in one place. General and cosmetic dentistry, surgical care, dental implants, IV sedation, emergency appointments, root canals, porcelain crowns, white fillings, deep cleanings, night guards, clear aligners, veneers, dentures, bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, and more are all part of what the practice offers.
That kind of range means patients don’t have to piece together their care across multiple offices. If someone needs preventive care, a cosmetic upgrade, tooth replacement, or sedation for a more complex procedure, the team can put together a plan that keeps everything coordinated.
For families, busy schedules, nervous patients, and people who have put off care longer than they’d like to admit, that continuity makes a real difference. Dentistry is easier to follow through on when your team already knows your history and can walk you through each step without starting over.
High-tech dentistry with a human touch
Technology at Cedar Village Dentistry isn’t there for show. It’s there because it makes care more accurate, more comfortable, and more proactive.
The practice uses tools like 3D imaging, dental photogrammetry, a 3D printer, Trios digital scanning, Pearl AI, and salivary testing. In practice, that means more precise diagnosis, better treatment planning, no uncomfortable impression trays, the ability to track changes over time, and care that’s tailored to each patient rather than applied generically.
But technology alone doesn’t define the experience. Patients want advanced care, and they also want to feel like an actual person when they walk in. Cedar Village Dentistry’s own mission speaks to that directly: excellence, education, and a commitment to going above and beyond for every patient. That means personalized treatment plans, honest recommendations, and clear explanations so patients can make confident decisions about their care.
Why patients keep choosing Cedar Village Dentistry
Awards are meaningful, but patient trust is built in smaller moments.
Trust grows in the moments that matter most: when someone with dental anxiety feels calm enough to schedule treatment, when a parent can bring their children to an office that makes family care easier, and when a patient understands their options without feeling pressured. It also comes from a team that recognizes oral health is deeply connected to confidence, comfort, and daily life.
Patient stories on the Cedar Village Dentistry site consistently mention comfort, friendliness, time, wellbeing, technology, communication, and anxiety-free care. Several patients describe the team as making them feel comfortable, explaining treatment clearly, and helping them feel confident about their smiles.
That is the kind of reputation no badge can create by itself. It has to be earned visit by visit.
Serving Mason with pride
Cedar Village Dentistry has been proud to call Mason home since 2007. The practice supports local organizations, including St. Susanna Catholic Church and Mason City Schools, and continues to serve patients from Mason and the greater Cincinnati area with a focus on comfort, health, and long-term relationships.
Being recognized in Cincinnati Magazine’s Top Dentists 2026 is a moment of gratitude for the whole team. It is also motivation to keep doing what patients already count on us to do: listen carefully, explain clearly, treat with skill, and help every person feel more confident about their dental health.
Thank you to our patients
To every patient who has trusted Cedar Village Dentistry with your care, thank you.

This recognition belongs to our doctors, but just as much to the team members who greet patients by name, answer questions with patience, assist during treatment, walk people through their benefits, comfort those who are nervous, and keep the day running with genuine kindness.
Most of all, it belongs to the relationships that make this work meaningful.
