Meet your dentist

Born in Barrie. Trained in Ireland. Came home.

Dr. Vafa Lightfoot grew up here. Eastview Secondary, class of 2006. After the University of Guelph and dental school at University College Cork, he came back to look after the community that raised him. He’s practised in Barrie since 2017, and now he’s leading Bayfield Dental into its next chapter.

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

Dr. Vafa Lightfoot

Off duty, you’ll find him on a trail, at the farmers’ market, or in a local café with his wife and daughter.

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.
