Our Story
Dental Folk's journey is a story of transformation, growth, and dedication to the community we serve. Here’s how we got to where we are today:
The Beginning of a Legacy
Dr. Robert Dalby purchased a small local dental practice, with a vision to build a relationship-based clinic. His belief was simple — that patients deserve care that is personal, empathetic, and designed around their unique needs.
Growth and Expansion
Recognising the needs of a growing Toronto community, Dr. Dalby expanded the clinic from two chairs to four, allowing us to welcome more patients and provide a wider range of services. This was a pivotal step in our journey to become a trusted name in local dental care.
Welcoming Dr. Quyen Nguyen
Dr. Quyen Nguyen joined the practice, bringing fresh expertise, a passion for patient-centered care, and a commitment to innovation. Her presence strengthened the clinic’s reputation and deepened patient trust.
A New Leader, A Fresh Vision
The practice was purchased by Dr. Quyen Nguyen, a passionate and forward-thinking dentist committed to upholding the clinic’s values while introducing fresh, modern approaches to dentistry. Dr. Nguyen brings a unique vision to the practice, placing emphasis on technology, patient education, and holistic care.
Rebranding to Dental Folk
We are excited to announce our rebranding to Dental Folk, a name that reflects our people-first philosophy. Our new identity embraces the idea that dental care is deeply personal, and that every smile tells a story. The rebranding marks a new chapter for our practice — one where we continue to adapt and innovate, all while staying true to our roots.
Our Next Chapter
With Dr. Quyen Nguyen at the helm, Dental Folk is evolving into a state-of-the-art clinic that marries modern technology with a human touch. We are committed to staying ahead of the curve by:
- Embracing the ever-changing landscape of dentistry with the latest tools and techniques
- Building a cohesive, compassionate team that shares our vision
- Prioritising patient education to empower you with the knowledge to maintain your oral health
We invite you to join our growing Dental Folk family. Together, let’s create a future where everyone feels confident in their smile and supported in their overall wellbeing.
