Gursh has also completed training with Dr Ian Hutchinson – an orthodontist who focuses on lingual braces and has completed numerous Invisalign, Lingual and 6 Month Braces cases.

Gursh visits the USA on a regular basis to gain experience in the latest techniques, as well as in the UK. He frequently takes part in study groups throughout the West Midlands and since completing a training programme in sedation, he has completed more than 1,000 sedation-assisted treatments.

My biggest fear – the dentist chair. After 4 attempts to have a filling i finally found a dentist who could actually make me feel relaxed enough to go through with it. Jas (the dentist) really was patient and amazing! Would never go anywhere else. Really do give 10/10 for all staff!

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.

Lisa Thomas

After being scared of dentist for many years I booked appointment with ascent dental as I read they do iv sedation for nervous patients, yesterday I completed my course of treatment and everyone from the dentist and sedationist to the girls on reception were absolutely wonderful, all so kind and caring and made sure I was ok throughout. Brilliant dental practice would definitely recommend them to everyone.

Dale Clarke

The best experience at my hygiene appointment today with justine and dev- would highly recommend!

Jane Riple

I had been advised by my previous dentist that implants were probably not an option for me after losing several teeth. I decided to pursue looking for an implant specialist in the Tamworth area where I now lived. Finding Ascent and reading the very positive reviews I arranged a free consultation with Faresh. After a very informative discussion a treatment plan was put together for me detailing all the options available.

I was delighted to know that in fact I was suitable for implants and made a decision to go ahead. I was guided by Faresh and his team as to what would happen at each stage of my treatment plan. My implant journey began in December 2020 during Covid times and everyone at the practice were meticulous with cleanliness procedures providing reassurance to the patients.

It is now April 2021 and my implants are in and looking and feeling AMAZING!! I can now smile once again with pride and confidence. It is one of the best things that I have done and thank Faresh and his exceptional team for the kindness care and guidance that I received.

THANK YOU.

Hayley Ironmonger

I can’t recommend this dentist enough! I was petrified of any dentist and would walk and cry and run out! Since finding Ascent dental care, I have never been more comfortable! Since starting jay has been nothing but reassuring! I have now started my Invisalign journey! Having various different treatments and seeing the hygienist I feel so much more relaxed! The receptionist Kathryn always greets everyone with a smile and so does the other girls on the front desk! I honestly can’t thank this dentist enough!
