Bayside Dentistry - Orillia

Dr. Evelyn Elsey

Associate Dentist

Dr. Elsey’s academic journey began at the University of Western Ontario, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Physiology, followed by a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1978. Post-graduation, she relocated to Barrie, established her dental practice, found love, and started a family, welcoming three children over the next twelve years. In 1990, health issues led her to sell her practice and pivot towards a career in academia. This transition saw her enrolling in a two-year comprehensive dentistry program at the University of Toronto.

During her tenure at the University of Toronto, Dr. Elsey dedicated seven years to emergency and oral diagnosis, while also earning a fellowship at the Academy of General Dentistry. In 1994, she resumed private practice, balancing this with a part-time role at the university. She continued this dual career path until 2007, when she sold her practice and began working part-time with Dr. Van Rassel, and now Dr. Mandal.

Dr. Elsey’s commitment to continuous learning led to her achieving a Master’s in General Dentistry in 2009. Now, with more free time, she indulges in her love for travel with her husband, enjoys golfing and playing bridge, and cherishes moments spent with her expanding family of grandchildren.

I’m a very nervous patient however the staff are kind and understanding and put me at ease. They are also very thorough and do fantastic work. I’m so happy that after much research I chose this office to get my dental work done!

Moved from Toronto about 3 years ago and had been travelling back and forth to the city for dental appointments. Last year I had a dental emergency, severe pain in my left side, couldn’t sleep for days and needed urgent dental attention. I called around to different local dentists and Bayside was able to get me in almost immediately. I ended up having an abscess tooth (ouch) which didn’t improve with antibiotics alone which meant I had to get a pulpectomy followed by a root canal once the infection went away. I’m not a huge fan of the dentist to begin with, but with the level of pain and discomfort I was feeling, I was thrilled to be in the dental chair and have someone help me. I’m very grateful for the friendly, caring and professional staff at Bayside and I’ve decided to start coming here instead of using my dentist in the city.

My husband and I are new to Bayside Dentistry and they are an amazing group. The front desk are so gentle and reassuring. I had the manager (Hygenist) yesterday do a cleaning and she was wonderful. I have had a bad experience with many dentists from a young age so I'm very nervous. Trust Bayside Dentistry to give you their best service. They listen to your fears and concerns. My husband and I will be back as we trust Bayside Dentistry. Thank you all so much

Switched our dentist to this one after a terrible experience elsewhere. Our first visit was wonderful. The receptionists were lovely and the Dentist was absolutely amazing with my 8 year old son. Dr. Mantal was also very understanding, supportive and kind to me as well. Safe to say we made a good choice switching, and can't wait to come back again!
