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.
After having a previous bad experience with a dentist,I walked into Ascent a complete nervous wreck .From the moment I sat in reception I was calmly reassured . Had a consultation with a member of the team then walked jelly legged into see Jas.
I was reassured and talked through my options and what outcome I would wish for as well as a long term plan to improve my oral health and prolong the time of keeping my teeth before exploring other options.
I felt that at ease and comfortable that I agreed to an extraction of a wisdom tooth at this very first appointment rather than prolong to my next appointment.
Left with a huge grin on my face knowing I made the best choice coming to this dentist and looking forward to my next appointment.
My daughter needed braces so after reading reviews about Ascent Dental Care I decided to book a first appointment.
It was 19 months ago.
My daughter had her braces removed last month and the result is superb! It exceeded her expectation.
The care is amazing.
All staff at reception make you feel really welcome and genuinely care about the clients.
Thank you
Amazing! I have a dental bridge done in a different country, and I recently had an appointment with Ascent regarding some big concerns. The staff there are just brilliant and definitely know what they’re doing. Profesionalism and knowledge is what defines the staff at Tamworth!
Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Help you to feel comfortable and always do a great job! I’m having some cosmetic work done with them shortly very excited about this. I know my teeth will look fantastic! 😊 I will put on another review once they are finished so you can all see their amazing work.
Ascent are definitely a dental surgery with a difference. Great service and Jay is not only a highly skilled dentist but also an excellent communicator. He keeps you advised of his processes throughout your visits and along with his assistants works hard to keep you relaxed.
Well done all excellent…..
I contacted Ascent Dental Care after my general dentist advised me that I needed root canal treatment, which they would be unable to carry out. I was looked after by Jesal, who put root canal fillings into 3 of my teeth, which was not a straightforward procedure, as they were crowned front teeth, and 2 of the crowns were some 25 years old. I can only say that he did an excellent job. He explained everything very thoroughly to me beforehand, and I was truly amazed at how little discomfort I felt when the work carried out. He is a really nice guy, who puts you totally at ease, and the nurses, reception and admin staff are all very friendly, polite and efficient.
I have no hesitation in recommending this excellent dental practice.
Couldn’t fault this dentist. Chipped my tooth and they got me in same day to check if it could be fixed and even managed to fix it there and then, for a fraction of the price I was expecting. Dentist James was brilliant along with all the staff I encountered!
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.
I broke my tooth at 16.20 on the 15-04-21 & after a phonecall to Ascent I was in the chair by 17.05 having an emergency temporary filling by Laura.
The whole team are just pure perfection, absolutely faultless
Thank you so much laura & the team for sorting me out so quickly, youre amazing & a credit to your profession
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.
I got recommended by a family member to come here and it was honestly the best decision I’ve made! The whole team are just amazing. Jay is absolutely wonderful! Such a caring, attentive and thorough dentist who makes me feel so heard and looked after whilst I’m with him. Thank you guys so much! Highly recommend this practice if you’re looking for first class treatment 😊
