White Clay Dental Associates spotted cancer in my mouth and provided me with the the support and guidance to get it treated. They have been an important part of the team monitoring my mouth since the initial diagnoses, and based upon their observations, have recommended more extensive follow up when needed. Dr. Bond and Dr. Ganfield are amazing dentists, and they are supported by a terrific team of hygienists and office staff. I enthusiastically recommend their practice and encourage all of you to get regular dental care. It is about more than your teeth.

I had an amazing experience at White Clay Dental. I had fallen and chipped two of my front teeth, and am a student so my dentist is back in MA. The woman at the front desk was so kind taking my call, and got me in 2 days after my accident which was amazing. Dr. Bond did an amazing job fixing my teeth. The color was matched, and it did not take too long at all. Dr. Bond even called me after the appointment to see how I was feeling and liking the teeth. Overall an amazing experience and I highly recommend Dr. Bond and his office!

Both Dr. Ganfield and Dr. Bond are excellent in dentistry and dental surgery. They have a very capable and effective staff, including terrific hygienists. My wife and I have been patients there since the 1980s. We deeply appreciate how much they have contributed to our dental health and comfort.

I am most impressed with the protections and controls they had in place during my visit. Extremely impressive steps they have taken in their practice to ensure the safety of their patients. Temperature checks, body covering, plexiglass. Controls to keep patients in their vehicle until they need to come in. I felt totally safe and in the best care. Forgot to mention. I love how clean my mouth feels after a visit. You bet they are the best I have been to in my years of dental service.

Absolutely the best dentist Ive ever been to. Not only do Dr. Bond and Amy make everything less scary and painful, but they make me laugh a lot. Which probably isnt good for them to try to get me to sit still, but hey its their decision to crack jokes lol. I really like coming here, even though teeth cleanings arent fun, they make it much easier. I chose to come here even though itll be more expensive since its out of network for my insurance due to the good reviews and Im so glad I did!

Several years ago I was looking to find a replacement for my dentist of over 20 years. I am so grateful I found Dr. Ganfield at White Clay. The entire staff is kind and professional. Dr. Ganfield and his staff are always concerned if I am comfortable and if I have any questions. I recently had a cancelled flight and was not able to get home for my appointment. The office staff was extremely accommodating and was even able to get me a new appointment the next week. I really appreciate the personal attention I receive.

White Clay Dental is very professional , on time, easy to schedule and a very friendly staff. I have also have to agree with the prior review about Dr Ganfield's technique with needles! He is so gentle even my young daughter was at ease.
