revive your smile Routine care of your teeth is essential with our general dental treatments, to help protect and restore your dental health. Routine check-up
Periodontics
Preserve your natural smile. With regular check-ups, you’re not only contributing to long-term self-confidence but you’re also taking an active role in preventing problems. Regular examinations and minor intervention will catch tooth decay in its track, long before it does the kind of damage that requires costly restoration or impacts your overall oral health.
Healthy gums equal healthy teeth. Bleeding gums, loose teeth or bad breath are a sign that you may have gum disease, and if left untreated could lead to advanced periodontitis. Our team of periodontists have been trained to diagnose and treat diseases to help keep your gums healthy and clean.
White Fillings
Gentle removal of problem teeth. We only extract teeth as a last resort and if the tooth cannot be saved. We aim to make the experience as quick and painless as possible for patients, including offering IV sedation. We can also discuss options to enable you to leave surgery with a replacement tooth following the extraction.
Repair teeth aesthetically. Composite resin or ‘white fillings’ offer an aesthetic and functional solution to filling cavities and restoring a tooth back to its full strength and appearance. Ask us about switching your amalgam fillings to our discreet, naturallooking fillings, so that you can smile with confidence.
Gentle root canal therapy Prevent tooth loss. Now considered as routine as a filling, our team are highly skilled in performing root canal treatment and make every effort to ‘save’ the tooth that has been damaged or infected. Treatment is designed to eliminate the pain, clear the infection and seal the inside of your tooth to prevent re-infection.
Teeth extractions
Dental emergencies Here to help. When experiencing any type of pain or discomfort in your teeth and gums, we understand how important it is to see a dentist as quickly as possible. Our friendly and highly skilled team are here to support you in alleviating any pain or anxiety and putting you at ease with our same-day emergency dental appointments.
replace missing teeth If you have gaps or missing teeth, our restorative and dental implant solutions can help restore your smile, confidence and general wellbeing. Dental implants
Dental bridge
Restore confidence and rebuild quality of life. If you are facing the prospect of missing teeth, dental implants at Ascent Dental Care offer a strong, long-term solution that can restore your smile, with no more compromise. Made from titanium or ceramic, our dental implant solutions look, feel and function just like healthy, beautiful, natural teeth, enabling you to speak clearly, eat with enjoyment and smile with confidence.
Bridge the gap for form and function. If you’ve lost a tooth through trauma, sports injury, gum disease or tooth decay, we can provide a permanent solution with a dental bridge. An ideal solution for those who don’t like the idea of dentures or have only a few missing teeth, our bridges are crafted by hand at a dental laboratory to an exact shape and shade to fit and work well within your mouth.
Dentures
Same-day dentistry
They look good, fit well and work for you. Forget the dentures of years gone by, at our denture studio we use the latest materials and techniques to expertly craft, design and fit your ‘new’ denture to look and function like your natural teeth. With our full, partial, implant-supported and same-day denture solutions, we aim to solve any missing teeth or existing denture problems.
Same day, new teeth. With revolutionary modern technology and our implant clinicians, we’re able to replace your missing teeth and restore a natural-looking smile in just one day! Immediate ‘same-day’ dentures, are designed to be securely attached straight after your tooth/teeth have been extracted, so you are not left without any teeth for a period of time and are able to leave the practice with your new smile the very same day.

enhance your smile Get the smile makeover treatment with one of our cosmetic dental treatments to make you smile brighter, healthier and happier. Straighter teeth
Crowns
Let’s get things straight. A beautiful straight smile is the aesthetic ideal. At Ascent Dental Care our patients have access to an unrivalled choice of teeth-straightening options including discreet clear aligners, invisible lingual braces, fixed braces and removable braces, to help address crooked or overlapping teeth, or bite problems.
For beauty and strength. Has time taken its toll on your teeth? Or have they become broken or weakened by decay? If so, then a dental crown can provide a strong and aesthetic enhancement to restoring your smile. Extremely durable, our bespoke dental crowns are used to replace a missing tooth, or cover a partly missing tooth, to improve its function and appearance.
Teeth whitening Let’s get things bright. If now is the time to reset the clock on your tooth colour, professional teeth whitening is the most effective way to get visible and impressive results quickly and safely. We use several premium whitening brands to help you achieve a brighter, whiter smile, either inpractice or from the comfort of your home.
Porcelain veneers Restore and strengthen. If you’d like to hide chips and gaps, or your stains are stubborn, then porcelain veneers can help create the illusion of a straighter, whiter and more aligned smile. Custom-made for you, porcelain veneers are thin covers that are applied to the front of your teeth to make them look uniform and pristine.
Composite bonding Improve cosmetic appearance. When teeth are disfigured, gappy, discoloured or patchy, composite bonding may be an ideal solution. Using composite resin material, we can craft resins that perfectly match the colour of your teeth and appear as natural as possible and bond this to an existing tooth or teeth to restore and improve imperfections.
Cosmetic contouring Transform and reshape. Unhappy with the shape of your teeth? Then a minimally invasive treatment like tooth recontouring, which involves filing teeth, may be the quick and pain-free treatment you need. With an incredible eye for detail, our dentists can sculpt and perfect your smile by changing the shape, length and surface of your teeth in as little as one appointment.
maintain your oral health Refresh your teeth and maintain a beautiful sparkling smile for you and the little ones with our hygienist and children’s appointments. Hygienist services
Airflow polishing
Smile healthier and brighter for longer.. Healthy smiles aren’t just nicer to look at – good oral hygiene can make your whole body healthier too. Our dental hygienists are qualified to give your teeth a professional deep clean, removing plaque from areas the toothbrush often misses and help prevent or detect gum disease. Your “go-to” for advice on all thing’s oral health, we recommend a visit to the hygienist at least twice a year.
Fast, effective and comfortable cleaning. Your comfort is of paramount importance and with airflow polishing our hygienists can clean your teeth and remove stains and plaque with a high-pressured blast of jet water, sodium bicarbonate and air. With no direct contact, heat and vibration, air polishing can effectively clean and brighten your teeth, leaving you with a sparkly fresh healthy mouth feeling.
Gum disease
Children’s dentistry
Keep your teeth and gums healthy. If your gums are red, tender, swollen and bleed you may have gingivitis (gum disease). If left untreated this could lead to advanced periodontitis and the loss of one or more teeth. Thoroughly cleaning the teeth and near the gum line, our priority is to help prevent or stop the progression of gum disease through early detection and excellent oral hygiene care. If you are diagnosed with gum disease, we will devise a treatment plan based on your precise needs.
Caring for your child’s dental health. We’re here to help keep the next generation of smiles, smiling and believe preventive dental care starts from an early age. As a family-friendly group of dental practices we love helping children start their journey to good oral health. From babies and toddler coming for their first check-ups to helping with hygiene for older children and teeth straightening for our teenagers – we’re here to support your child in maintaining a smile they can feel confident about for the rest of their lives.
rejuvenate your look Get the smile makeover treatment with one of our cosmetic dental treatments to make you smile brighter, healthier and happier. Lines and wrinkles
Lip plumping
Younger looking skin. Smooth away the signs of stress and premature ageing with our anti-wrinkle treatments. While wrinkles can be a beautiful signifier of a life well lived, sun damage, pollution or squinting at smartphones can result in unwanted expression lines. Often visible around the forehead, nose and eyes, our treatment freezes the underlying muscles to prevent frown lines, forehead lines and laughter lines. This treatment can also be used to curb excessive sweating and to treat a gummy smile. Anti-wrinkle treatment is temporary, and you will need to repeat it to maintain its effects.
Fuller, softer, plumper. Fuller lips can mean a fuller smile, especially those who are unhappy with the appearance of their lips; often arising from naturally thin lips or excessive lines caused by smoking or sun damage. Lip plumping can be used to enhance your lips by making them look fuller, softer and plumper. Our highly skilled team will take great care to assess you and prescribe a customised treatment to suit your lip structure and facial symmetry for a subtle and natural look.
Dermal fillers Plump your skin. Is your skin starting to lose its elasticity? Dermal fillers are ideal for restoring volume to areas of the face that can look tired and drawn over time. The most common areas of concern; nasolabial folds (between the nose and the corner of the mouth); marionette lines (adding from the corner of the mouth towards the chin) and the lips, can be treated with dermal fillers to create a fuller more hydrated appearance, and even to shape facial contours.
relax with us Feel comfortable and at ease from your very first visit with our relaxation and sedation options, so you can still get the treatments you need to help you smile again. Nervous patients
Sedation
Conquer your dental anxiety. Nervous patients are always welcome at Ascent Dental Care, and we’ve put in place a range of methods to help you overcome any dental anxiety that might have previously stopped you from getting the dental care you deserve.
Sit back and relax. Our relaxation and sedation options can help nervous patients feel calm, relaxed and comfortable getting the dental treatments needed to smile again. We offer two forms of sedation:
Rest assured that the gentle, modern dentistry you’ll find at Ascent Dental Care is a world away from what you may have experienced in the past. Thanks to advances in technology, treatments are less invasive and pain relief is more accurate and efficient, than ever before.
Anti-snoring Snore less, sleep better. Whether it’s the pain of grinding or the noise of snoring that is blocking your way to a good night’s sleep, we can provide a bespoke dental night guard to alleviate the problem. Our night guards for bruxism (teeth grinding and jaw clenching) cushion teeth against the pressures of grinding, while our snoring devices can help hold the jaw in the right position to keep the airway open – so you and your partner can finally enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.
Intravenous (IV) ‘conscious’ sedation. This procedure combines sedative, to make you relaxed and drowsy, with analgesic (painkiller) and anaesthetic (numbing). The effect of these three does not put you fully to sleep but work together for patients to begin treatment in an induced state of complete contentment and relaxation.
