I have just finished my treatment with Ascent Dental after 6 months of having Lingual braces to adjust crowding in my upper teeth. I have been very impressed with the service given to me, and would thoroughly recommend the practice to anyone looking to improve their smile. Dr Gursh Bajwa made the treatment comfortable, yet effective, and I am very happy with the results. I would like to thank all the staff at Ascent Dental for the high level of care and service they have given me.
This has been a very positive experience. I didn’t have an appreciation of what can be done with orthodontics these days so the result has been very impressive . I was very careful in choosing who to go to and I am very happy my research paid off. Gursh is very highly skilled, friendly and explains things clearly , as are the rest of the team there. Highly recommended.
Dr Gursh and the team are first class. Made to feel very comfortable during my treatment. Cannot recommend then highly enough.
I first had dental treatment (implant & veneer) with Faresh in May 2013. It was a years worth of treatment and the end result was so natural looking. As my bottom teeth weren’t the straightest, I decided to have a brace fitted with Gursh. After just over 17 weeks, I had my brace removed yesterday (25/8/14) and for me, it was a Hollywood reveal. My TEETH ARE AMAZING!!!
I have been visiting Ascent Dental for a year now as I required an implant to one of my front teeth. I have been treated by Dr Faresh Desai and I have found him to be very skilled technically and someone who has extremely high standards with regard to his treatment and the appearance of the finnished product. I would recommend him and his team, who are all very friendly and efficient. Before choosing Ascent Dental I explored a number of other dentist who all came up short with regard to my expectations, but Faresh has met all of them and as such I have now had a second implant.
I was hesitant at first to spend money on my teeth. I’m 60 years old and have a fear of dentist’s due to experience over the years. I have had the time of my life! I am no longer afraid to laugh or smile. AJ is amazing and kind and patient! The whole team are wonderful absolutely worth the money! Confidence is well and truly boosted! Thanks guys ❤️
Excellent service from the team at Ascent Dental Care. My daughter has come to the end of her treatment and her braces removed just over a week ago, the results and care she received has been outstanding. Many thanks especially to Cassandra.
I had my teeth whiten here and was amazed by the results. Great care and information from Doctor Yasmin Shajarchy would highly recommend them to anyone
I had my teeth done not while ago, Yasmin Shakarchy is my dr dentist! She’s is phenomenal! She knows exactly what she’s doing and has fixed my smile. I had Invisalign done. If you’re thinking of getting your teeth done, go with Dr Yasmin!!! She’s based in Birmingham & Solihull Trust me you won’t regret it 👍😊 I am one happy customer xx …
I’m a new patient – so far so good. Friendly staff, reasonable prices. My teeth a sparkling after a recent trip to the hygienist 😁 …
Fantastic dentist , managed to fit me in same day and extract wisdom tooth that previous dentist had made a real mess of . So happy and pain free at last .
I had a great experience with Yasmin being my Dentist at Ascent. She reassured me every step of the way throughout my journey. I had my teeth whitened, a new crown fitted and some composite bonding. I was so happy with the final result. Thankyou! 🤍 …
