Over 40 years ago, Dr. Charles “Chic” Bachtel opened his office in Longview Texas with a clear mission: to offer anyone who walked in his office the best dentistry had to offer, In 2009, Dr. Tom Cotton acquired the practice after a long friendship with Dr. Bachtel, committed to continuing the tradition of fine general restorative, implant dentistry, and cosmetic techniques. Dr. Jay Hemphill continues this tradition and brings the knowledge he obtained from an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency, which made for a perfect fit for the type of practice Dr. Bachtel and Dr. Cotton supported.
