I was an extremely nervous patient but on both my visits I was put at ease and my treatment was pain free and better than I had ever thought possible. I will continue my future treatment with confidence. I cannot thank Ascent and Laura my dentist enough.
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
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 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!
Would recommend 100%. Such friendly and kind staff who made the experience so much better. Big thank you to Charlotte who I had most of my appointments with she was so kind and made me feel so comfortable and the fact that she tried so hard and get an appointment to get my braces off before prom into a busy schedule I will forever be grateful as I had a smile I was confident with at prom. I am happy with the results so thank you everyone at ascent :)
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…..
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.
The best experience at my hygiene appointment today with justine and dev- would highly recommend!
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
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.
I recently had composite bonding treatment on my lower front teeth and i am very happy with the results.Laura was very professional and friendly and i would highly recommend this practice.
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 😊
