I am a nervous patient and recently have had a fair amount of much needed dental work carried out at Ascent dental care in Tamworth. Everyone at the practice from the women on reception to the 3 practitioners I have had treatment from have been amazing. They have all made me feel respected, reassured and safe, the care and quality of treatment from the practitioners has been excellent. They have explained everything very clearly and listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Also, I can honestly say that the treatment has been painless. I will never look forward to visiting the dentist but I am much more reassured that I will be taken care of and my dental care is in the safest and most professional hands!

Different Types of Frenectomies

Lingual Frenectomy – When there is soft tissue in your mouth that is attached to the tongue and it stops movement of the tongue. The soft tissue is removed so the tongue is free to move.

Labial Frenectomy – When there is soft tissue attached to the lips and needs to be removed to allow the lips to move.

Frencetomies can also be performed if the soft tissue is attached to gingival tissue between teeth.

Lingual Frenectomies

If a patient has a condition called Ankloglossia (more commonly known as “tongue tied”).

This condition does have a severe impact on the patients tongue mobility and can also affect:

Speech
Eating
Oral Hygiene
Upper Jaw Development
Swallowing

I came to Tamworth 5 years ago with a real fear of dentists. As I needed to find a new practise I eventually plucked up courage to attend Ascent Dental Care.

I can honestly say, they have been amazing. From the reception team, especially Kathryn to my current dentist, Laura, I now have no fear of going for any treatment. They are extremely patient focused and excellent in caring for the most scared individuals. Would 100% recommend-give them a try-you won’t regret it :-)

Labial Frenectomies

In some orthodontic cases a labial frenectomy might be required to help assist with closing a tooth gap at the front.

Labial frenulums are commonly attached to the centre and upper lip between the patients two front upper teeth, which can lead to:

Gum recession
Gap between front teeth

Before & After

Inlay and Onlays

This patient attended with two extensively broken upper molars. We placed all ceramic onlays which provide more protection and a great aesthetic result.

Let’s face it—no one loves having fillings. So treatment with Mandeep was a breath of fresh air for Rebecca.

Derek Giddins

Recently had a new top Denture made, the fit was superb. With my previous denture I needed to use dental fixative daily and it still would rock, but my new denture made by Julian Smith is perfect I use very little fixative and it lasts at least 48 to 72 hours now. Thank you for the quality professional service.

Sophie Scotchford

I have always been nervous to have Invisalign and visited Ascent Dental Care apprehensively, unsure if braces were right for me. Rachel and Gursh have both been incredibly lovely and put my mind at ease. The practice uses all the latest equipment (Dental Monitoring is the way forward!) which is allowing me to complete me treatment time far faster than elsewhere! So far I can not fault the team, thank you so much

Sasha Carter

An amazing journey from start to finish with Cassy. Im a nervous patient and I couldn’t have been made to feel any more comfortable. Cassy is down to earth, she put me at ease and has boosted my confidence by miles. Thank you to Nat too! ☺️

We attended Ascent Dental for an emergency appointment for my two year old daughter. This was her first experience of visiting a dentist and everyone involved made it a calm, welcoming and non-traumatic experience. With thanks from two very relieved parents.

I had a crown prep done today at Ascent and I can’t say enough good things. Didn’t even feel the injection to numb my mouth and the whole team made me feel at ease and calmed any nerves I had. Was a very easy process, and I was able to pay for the crown with their payment plan which made the whole thing a lot easier. Very happy with my choice to join this dentist a few months back. Definitely recommend.

If like me you have had bad experiences in the past then this is the place to come to.I have been coming here now for two years to finally get the smile i am proud of.I had root canals carried out by Dr Jessal his skill and knowledge is amazing he is clearly at the very top of his profession,i never suffered any pain during or after and returned back to work that same day i can not thank him enough.

A short time after it was time for my crown work to begin and this was carried out by Dr Gursh who whitened my teeth and sorted out my new crowns which look so natural against my other teeth and a perfect fit first time,another top professional who cares and is passionate about getting that perfect smile, you cannot tell they are crowns amazing.

Now after my treatment i return to the hygienist Anita who keeps my teeth looking amazing.
I cannot thank all the staff that work here enough they make a perfect team and they really do care.

I went through the process of having implants fitted. Throughout the whole process I received excellent service and care from everybody at the practice. I did not, at anytime, feel uncomfortable or any pain and the procedure was never rushed but carried out at a pace that meant a very successful outcome. I’d recommend this practice very highly.
