Our Procedures

The implant & surgical team at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough have vast experience in the use of bone augmentation techniques to grow bone and create increased volume and structure.

Bone augmentation procedures can be carried out to restore bone height and width which will ultimately mean successful placement of dental implants where once this would not haven possible. We use a variety of bone augmentation materials and techniques at Ascent Dental Care Loughborough:

Bovine Bone
Irradiated human bone – similar to that used in hospitals for hip replacements and such like
Man-made ‘artificial’ bone

Patient Tailored Care

We will select materials based on individual needs, indicated by the proposed final result. Bone augmentation can often be carried out at the same time as implant placement, which reduces the need for additional treatment sessions.

We gently place and manipulate the bone into the tooth socket or around the area where we need to create more volume and then close your gum tissue over the top. The area will be left to ‘fuse’ and the bone will form a matrix whereby your own bone tissue will grow around it, ultimately making one type of bone indistinguishable from the other.

We understand that every patient is different and we will work hard to make sure that we find an augmentation solution that suits you based on your health and current bone formation.

I broke off a very old crown but Ascent gave me an appointment really quickly. Thorough examination and x-ray shows it can’t be replaced but explained why so, and given various options to consider. Another appointment booked in next week to progress. Very satisfied with the overall patient care provided.

Missing Teeth Impact
Function & Aesthetics

Many patients put up with the embarrassment and discomfort of missing teeth for many years. This can sometimes be due to gum disease, traumatic tooth loss or excessive wear and tear. To add insult to injury, very often patients will complaint that their appearance is altered.

This is because jawbone may have receded quite dramatically around the areas where teeth are missing (after all, the jawbone is present to hold the teeth in place, once teeth are missing, it will start to shrink back). This process can leave patients with vastly reduced bone volume, this in turn can cause cheeks to sink & hollow as there is no bone available to support the soft tissue.

Of course, in implant dentistry, we do require a strong foundation of bone into which to place implants and this is where we rely on bone augmentation techniques.

Jyoti and Alex made me feel really comfortable when having my composite bonding done and the results are amazing. I only wanted a subtle change to my teeth and a natural look, would highly recommend this practice.

The treatment teceived from my dentist (Shiv) and his nurse (Holly) was excellent.. i had a crown fitted amd the whole process was went very smoothly. Shiv explained clearly all the steps he was taking and took great care to ensure the crown was a good fit.
I am extremely pleased with the end result.

I began my Invisalign treatment back in August 2021 and I have been so impressed with the care and attention to detail I have received. From the receptionists who phone to check up on my treatment/appointments through to Gursh and Charlotte who have been handling my treatment, all of the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Gursh is incredibly knowledgeable and always explains in great detail, exactly what to expect in an appointment. He pays such careful attention to detail that I’ve felt really looked after throughout the whole process. The same goes for Charlotte who I’ve seen for my last few appointments alongside Gursh. She is very attentive, kind and caring. Not once have I felt uneasy in the chair.
I’ve always felt really well looked after at Ascent Dental Care and I would highly recommend. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience here. I came for a cosmetic consultation which was a fantastic deal to start with. The information and insight from the dentist I seen today was the best I have experienced so far to tell the truth.

I am a very nervous patient with an irrational fear of the dentist, today it felt calming and I felt understood. The options shared I genuinely felt were what will be best for me and I felt cared for.

I am happy to hopefully progress through the treatment and look forward to potentially having more confidence and a great smile. Nothing Ive seen today gives me even an ounce of doubt about their ability to care for me and do what’s best for me.

The hygiene is also fantastic, there was plenty of room to park which is always a great sign. Friendly and professional staff also help you feel welcome and comforted.

Thank you.

Got me in on an emergency appointment. Very friendly and informative staff there. I’m a nervous patient and they were very understanding and patient with me. Encouraging and empathetic throughout the whole procedure of having a tooth out. Definitely recommend.

I was treated by Ketul for teeth straightening and the lovely Rachel. I am absolutely delighted with the results, and lots of people have commented on my new smile. The professionalism and care of every member of staff is excellent. I have recommended them to several people, and I can honestly say that they are one of the best businesses I have ever used.

Mandeep is honestly just an angel! ❤️❤️ I came in with my little boy on Friday who has quite severe learning disabilities and once again she was as lovely as ever! She just gives such a warm welcome! William didn’t want to sit in the chair and was already pretty stressed, so Mandeep just whizzed over on her chair and had a look in his mouth whilst he was stood up, rather than wait for him to get more distressed! It made it so much easier that she just got on with it in the way Wills was happiest!

So I first started coming here as a temporary measure during lockdown when I couldn’t get an nhs appointment as everywhere was shut and I was in DESPERATE need of a dentist. However Mandeep is just soooo lovely that instead of only coming to fix the issues I had during lockdown, we’ve instead signed both myself, my partner, and our 2 kids, on to membership plans because honestly she’s just so lovely, we’d feel like we were cheating if we went anywhere else 😂😂 We love her so much that she actually regularly come up in conversation when we’re debating buying junk food from on the food shop! Neither of us want to disappoint Mandeep… we always threaten each other with “I’ll tell Mandeep next time I see her if you buy that” 😂 If she ever leaves we’ll be going with her because she’s the nicest person everrrrr!!!

Rebecca Ward

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!

I NEVER believed I’d EVER be able to sit in a dentist chair and have 3 fillings done, but today, I did, Thanks to Mandeep (Dentist) and Lisa. I was a shivering, shaking, crying, nervous wreck! I felt totally in control the entire time, she went at my pace, I didn’t feel rushed, I felt very looked after. Didn’t feel a thing, not even the injection (Bad needle phobia) She is amazing at her job. The service I received was outstanding. So pleased I’ve actually found such a fantastic Dentist. The girls on reception are so lovely, warm and welcoming, they make you feel very relaxed.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS DENTIST.

I just can’t Thank You all enough.

Nicola Hall

I had an emergency appointment today and Mandeep and Ellie were great at not only explaining what was happening with my tooth extraction but also keeping me calm as I was very nervous. The extraction its self was quick and in no way uncomfortable. I am very greatful to them both for putting me at ease and the being professional throughout the appointment

Carole Hopkins

I had an extraction under sedation and the team were fantastic. they are all really kind and caring and I didn’t know anything about it – perfect!

Ascent Dental is a very friendly & professional dentist. I started a teeth whitening journey in December with the process commencing a few weeks ago, with great results, I found that they are very attentive in making sure I am a happy with my final results. I’m now a full new patient of the dentist and for the first time, I’m not terrified to go to a dentist. Mandeep made me feel very relaxed and talked me through everything. Gursh was also very welcoming as well and made me feel like I was in great, trusted hands for something that was very new and out my comfort zone.
