A lot has changed over the past 50 years, but one thing has remained the same here in Newark: local families trust White Clay Dental Associates when it comes to their dental needs. Dr. Timothy Ganfield and Dr. Donald Bond are proud to carry on the tradition of providing high-quality and affordable dental care for patients of all ages, from 1-100. Were ready to offer a wide range of preventive, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry services and more, all using the latest techniques and technology available today. We combine the best of whats old and whats new, and in the end, its everything you and your loved ones will need to achieve healthy, strong, and beautiful smiles for life. Every operatory is outfitted with an intraoral camera to help us both show you exactly what is going on inside your own mouth, and provide the ability to take pixel-perfect shade matches of your teeth to ensure our work blends seamlessly with your smile. We have spared no expense to ensure your time with us is both productive and comfortable. Our patients enjoy cozy blankets, sunglasses, and TVs in every operatory.
You and your smile are 100% unique, so why do so many other dental offices treat you just like everyone else? At White Clay Dental Associates, we understand that personalized care is better care, so we take the time to really get to know our patients before recommending any treatments. With your particular needs, wants, and goals fresh in our minds, well know exactly how to tailor your dental experience so it gives you every reason to smile.

Dr. Ganfield has always had a strong passion for helping others, and dentistry is a highly rewarding line of work in this regard! He also has a genuine affinity for serving all types of patients and being able to make a noticeable difference for their smiles, whether cosmetically or functionally.
Having grown up here in Delaware, Dr. Ganfield attended the University of Delaware for his undergraduate degree before pursuing his doctorate at Temple University, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He furthered his training by completing a dedicated residency in general dentistry at Christiana Care Hospital. He also regularly attends continuing education courses to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in dentistry, including training in orthodontics (Invisalign Clear Braces and Six Month Smiles) and dental implants. He is currently a member of the following organizations:
Dr. Ganfield has spent time in Guatemala on dental missions helping underprivileged children and adults correct oral healthcare problems while providing the education necessary to prevent future issues. Whenever hes not busy at work, Dr. Ganfield spends time with his wife and two children. He also enjoys watching (and occasionally coaching) his kids sporting events, vacationing at the beach, or having an adventure in the mountains. Hes also a big Eagles fan!
Dr. Bond began his college studies at Bucknell University as an engineering major, but he also had a keen interest in medicine and architectural design. At that time, his older brother was in dental school. During a visit with him at Georgetown University, he saw that dentistry combined qualities from each of those disciplines very well. At the beginning of his sophomore year back at Bucknell, he decided to change his major to chemistry with an emphasis on pre-dental studies.
Today, Dr. Bond is still thrilled to have been able to combine his interests into such an amazing career. However, the most satisfying part of practicing dentistry by far has been the relationships hes made with so many wonderful Newark-area families.
Dr. Bond achieved his Doctor of Dental Surgery at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. He was a Cum Laude graduate and inducted into the dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon. Following graduation, he furthered his training by completing a residency program in general dentistry at Christiana Care Hospital. He also regularly attends continuing education courses on a yearly basis in order to stay current with the latest advancements in oral healthcare.
Dr. Bond is currently a member of the Medical-Dental Staff at Christiana Care, where he volunteers his time teaching and mentoring current dental residents. He is also a consultant and referral dentist for the University of Delaware Health Service. His other memberships include:
When he isnt busy at work, Dr. Bond spends his free time traveling, bicycling, playing tennis, and skiing. However, his greatest satisfaction comes from spending time with his wife Janis and grown daughters Lauren and Jeanette.
