Meet The Namu Dentists
Decades of Experience Meets Modern Energy
Dr. Daniel Dafo, DDS
Owner & General Dentist
Dr. Dafo knew he wanted to work in medicine, but it was dentistry that he fell in love with. Through working in volunteer dental clinics, Dr. Dafo saw people walking in ashamed of their teeth, and walking out ready to interview for jobs they'd been avoiding – but needed. That changed everything for him.
Outside the Office:
When he's practicing in one of the Namu dental offices (or getting hands-on in the business side of things), Dr. Dafo enjoys spending quality time with his family.
What He Loves Most:
Dr. Dafo says, "Seeing someone get their confidence back — that's everything. Their smile, their livelihood, their whole outlook can change." One patient in particular has stuck with him. After driving from Florida to West Virginia, the patient slept in her car to get a free denture. After it was done, she hugged everyone on the team, and was visibly more confident than when she had arrived.
His Approach:
Dr. Dafo believes in same-day care whenever possible. With multiple practices across Virginia, Dr. Dafo has built a team and invested in the tools needed to care for patients thoughtfully — without unnecessary handoffs or delays. He understands that real life doesn’t stop for dental emergencies.
Dr. Dafo is also passionate about Sleep Apnea diagnosis and treatment after being diagnosed himself. For him, dentistry isn’t just about the teeth; it’s about making sure the entire mouth, including airways, are healthy and functioning properly.
