Ascent Dental Group

WOW! I have been to many dentist around the country and by far these people are the best! I had a good feeling about this place from the start, the greeting you get setting up the appointment, she answered ALL my questions (I had plenty) so informative. There is nothing better than the awesome feeling you get when someone actually takes pride in the work they do. Honesty and integrity from most businesses are hard to come by these days. This team is on the mark! They made me feel so comfortable my entire visit. I was beating myself up for not finding them sooner. In the past I had made the mistake trying out a dentist because they were «affordable». Silly me! You get what you pay for (cavities left under past fillings, etc). Needless to say, the amount of work I had to get done was probably not humanly bearable to do it all in one visit, but I did. (My insurance was about to expire) the entire staff at Ascent Dental was there for me the entire time with an abundance of care and true passion. For that, I am extremely greatfull! Today, I am ALL SMILES! Thank you!

I was recommended this Dental Office by a co-​worker. I highly recommend them. Clean office, friendly environment, incredibly knowledgeable dental assistants. ¹⁰⁄₁₀

Hi had my 6 month check up and cleaning this morning. It was also x-​ray time. This was at least my 3^rd cleaning with Willie, He is the best of the best. I really appreciate his feedback and critique of how I am doing taking care of my teeth and gums. Today’s report was that the water pick once/​day is doing great things keeping teeth and gums happy. Today’s ‘do better’ was with tooth paste suggestions to keep my mouth happy.
Dr. Johnston gave me the once-​over after looking at and explaining the x-​rays. The tooth by tooth layout on the monitor was interesting. I really appreciate his honesty regarding the start of cavities and small cracks in a few teeth. Every dentist I’ve ever had would have given me an immediate to-​do list along with the huge out of pocket check I’d need to write. When the time is right to fix stuff, I can trust Dr. Jeff to tell me and we’ll get it done. I trust, and I have verified, Dr. Johnston is the real deal.

ALWAYS seen on time, which is so rare for other dentists. Clean and personable. Great technology. A must for anyone looking for a dentist in Metro Denver.

This place is great! They have up to date equipment and the team is fantastic. Alyson and Victoria are extremely welcoming and helpful. They make you feel right at home. My first cleaning appointment was with Willie. He was very accommodating and took the time to answer all of my questions. Since then I have started on getting an implant. Dr. Jeff and Valentina have been doing a wonderful job helping me through that process! They always follow up with a call or email to check on you after a procedure. It is very reassuring to know you are in good hands with people who care. I would highly recommend Ascent Dental Group.

WARNING: Worst experience I have ever had at a dental office from start to finish. Snotty, arrogant and overbearing office staff (think 5 or 6 calls a week), painful cleanings (oh, suddenly this cavity is MUCH deeper than the xrays could show), hidden charges (sorry, but you needed pulp caps, which was decided for you during the procedure that wasn’t presented in the estimate, that will be another $ 200), and lack of communication. If I had read other reviews first, I would have headed the warnings. If you do find yourself here, you’ll undoubtedly have very unhealthy teeth with a myriad of fabricated issues that, somehow, your other dentists «missed», new x-​rays that you didn’t need, fluoride varnishes, or any other imaginable thing they could possible get away with charging you for. Do yourself a favor and get a second opinion. If you are reading this first, though, I would stay far away! They are the SPIRIT AIRLINES of the dental industry. Something else you might notice, the most glowing review on here is from Victoria B, who is part of this scam and works at the front desk (you can see he copied her on the harassing email below). Not to mention it’s against Unilocal’s terms of service to review your employer. Another is from ‘Brook B.’ who only has one review, always a flag for a fake account, Then poor Maria P. who well victim to the scam and genuinely thought Dr. Johnson «caught» issue that the old dentist missed. Follow the bread crumbs here people, this is a con job and they’re out for every dollar they can get, not your best interest or the health of your mouth.
EDIT: Folks I left a open and honest account of my experiences above. Moments after my review, I was contacted via my personal email. You can add harassment to the list. This man calls himself a professional? He is not sure what my point is? I’ve outlined it pretty clearly above.

Are you done bashing me and my company all over the internet?
Not sure what your point is, but if it makes you feel better… carry on…

Had a great experience with Dr Johnston and his staff! The receptionist was very friendly starting with my initial phone call and setting up my appointment.
On the day of my appointment I was greeted and seated on time! The assistant was very professional and did a great job with my x-​rays. I loved that Dr Johnston uses the intra-​oral camera to show you exactly what he is seeing. They were able to complete my exam, a cleaning, and even fill a small cavity for me all in one appointment!
I would definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for quality dentistry!

Growing up, I never felt good about my smile. Never had braces, or regular dental care. After visiting several dentists around Denver to try and fix my smile, I was always discouraged by the costs and lack of empathy. It seems most dentists only care about the money. Now I know dentistry is not cheap especially for cosmetic services. But when I visited Ascent dental I felt like they were more interested in solving my problem than paying for their next vacation. They discussed several options with me and the corresponding price points to find the best solution to fit my needs and my budget. They took time to ask about my concerns and listened to my desired outcomes. They explained every step in the process and never talked down to me or lectured me about dental care. Additionally their office is state of the art. Very comfortable, they have massaging dental chairs, TV to watch during the procedures, courtesy water bottles and a friendly staff. The experience was worth every penny, and I have had several compliments on my smile. I don’t feel embarrassed or self conscience anymore in public. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson and Ascent Dental.

I will preface my review by saying I take excellent care of my teeth and have been to a dentist every six months since my first tooth came up as a child. I have zero cavities and healthy gums.
My husband and I visited ascent dental the same week and both left feeling less than satisfied. The dentist told me I had four cavities that needed filling. Then told my husband that he had gum disease and they would be unable to even preform a cleaning, yet charged him the full price. They recommended I get four enamel fillings. (Not covered by insurance.) And that my husband get a deep clean ($ 500.)
The receptionist was great very friendly and nice. The dental hygienist, Willie, was very talkative and friendly. I learned all about him and his life, maybe even a bit to much. The dentist however, was extremely short and abrupt. He had bloodshot eyes and it looked like he had been up all night drinking at a poker game. He spent about 30 seconds looking at my teeth and the one and only
Thing he said to me was, «what do you do for a living that you can get your teeth cleaned on a Wednesday morning?»
Needless to say we went and got a second opinion. Results? I have zero cavities and my husbands gums are healthy as can be. He received a gum check as well as measurement along with a regular teeth cleaning.
Unfortunately, I had recommended this dental office to a friend before I had gone based on the friendly demeanor of the receptionist. After her appointment she told me they recommended that she have four teeth filled as well!
It is very clear to me that this office is simply looking for money. I am very disappointed that it made 5280’s list of top dental practices. Boo that. Will never be returning here.

My recent dental checkup was wonderful. I have receding gums and both Willie, the hygienist and Dr Jeff took great care in showing me and explaining what was going on with my gums and why a skin graft was the best solution. I am always well taken care of there, starting at the front desk. An excellent dental office that I highly recommend.
