Meet your dentist
Born in Barrie. Trained in Ireland. Came home.

“You should leave every visit knowing what’s going on in your mouth, what it costs, and that nobody’s judging you.”

The Bayfield story
Three generations. A new chapter.
Bayfield Dental has looked after Barrie families for three generations. Grandparents, parents and kids have all sat in our chairs, upstairs at 331 Bayfield Street.
Now a new chapter begins, led by Dr. Vafa Lightfoot, a dentist who grew up here. The welcome stays the same: plain-English answers, your plan and fees before anything starts, and no judgement, however long it’s been.
