Healthy Gums Provide the Basis For a Long-Lasting Smile
Most dental professionals will tell you that healthy gums really are the foundation of a beautiful, healthy smile that lasts the test of time. At Ascent Dental Care Loughborough you can be sure that our entire team is working towards promoting exceptional standards of oral hygiene for all our patients.
However, some patients may come to us suffering from some form of gum disease, whether it be minor gum inflammation, or the advanced stages of Periodontal Disease. Whatever your problem, our experienced Hygiene team will work with you to help slow down and maintain the stages of gum disease, to ensure that you retain your natural teeth for as long as nature intended.
Our gums (or gingiva) act as a foundation for our teeth. Healthy, pink gums help to create an environment in which teeth will thrive and remain firmly anchored. If gums are well maintained, with both professional cleaning and a robust home care regime, there is no reason why your teeth cannot last you a lifetime.
However, if gums become red, swollen and/or begin to bleed, this is the sign of early gum disease. If left untreated, gum disease will gradually cause the soft tissue to come away from the teeth, which in turn, will cause teeth to become very mobile and eventually lead to tooth loss.
Received their usual professional friendly and efficient service. The practice has provided me with great advice on my dental health. My hygienist Tayba, aided by Alex, is most helpful and thorough in monitoring ongoing progress with my gum hygiene and cleaning.
Early Intervention is Key to Treat Gum Disease and Maintain Healthy Gums Long-Term
However, with the correct professional treatment and a robust home care regime gum disease is straight-forward and inexpensive to treat and maintain.

Our dedicated team have a special interest in your oral health and their time with you will be focused on not only providing the correct clinical treatment but also showing you how to maintain your gum at home.
The good news is that with professional care and the right approach, gum disease is very easy and inexpensive to prevent.

Gum Disease Has Two Stages:
Gingivitis
Many thousands of people across the UK will currently have some form of mild gingivitis. If early signs & symptoms are left untreated, gingivitis will develop into full blown gum disease.
What are the Signs of Gingivitis?
- Swollen and inflamed gums
- Gums will appear very red
- Bleeding gums when brushing
- Gum recession (teeth may appear ‘longer teeth’)
- Persistent bad breath
- Visible plaque and tartar
If you have 3 or more of these symptoms it is possible that you are suffering from gingivitis.
With prompt treatment, our Hygiene team are still able to stop this progressing into periodontal disease and eventual tooth loss.
At this stage, gum disease will often be treated with 2-4 intensive professional cleaning sessions with our dedicated professionals. At these appointments, we will also show you the very best way to care for your teeth and gums at home, and provide you with a bespoke homecare regime designed to keep gum disease at bay/maintain for good.
Ascent Dental Care has professional and friendly staff who always provide excellent treatment. I had dental implants last year and am very pleased with the outcome. Before starting and throughout the procedure the staff explained exactly what was happening and what was involved. This was very important to me.
Bespoke Periodontal Disease Package
Our Hygiene team will create a robust & bespoke Periodontal Disease package with the aim to:
- Eliminate the bacterial toxins
- Remove build-up of hardened plaque (calculus)
- Remove infection
- Disinfect the gum tissue
- Implement & monitor an intensive home care regime based on individual needs
- Provide regular ‘deep cleaning’ treatments (usually 3-monthly)
A periodontal ‘treatment & maintenance” package, will in most cases, keep the symptoms of periodontal disease at bay and prevent further damage and tooth loss.

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.

I cannot recommend highly enough. I am a bit of a nervous/embarrassed patient and I must say the whole team have been excellent, from the person I first contacted to the receptionists and the dental team themselves. I’m very excited to get my ‘new teeth’ and have already been so impressed that I have moved my children here too.
I was a very nervous patient and have tried various dentists. Mandeep was very understanding and talked me through my options for treatment. I thought I would need sedation for my root canal but I saw Jesal and he reassured me I would be fine without. And I was! All the staff are lovely and didn’t make me feel silly for being anxious. Alex and Felicia were very helpful. I feel like I can go to the dentist now for regular check ups instead of avoiding it. I’m very happy with the treatment I have had as it has saved me losing a tooth. I can highly recommend the team at Ascent, Loughborough
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.
Had my permanent bridge fitted yesterday, Jyoti was absolutely brilliant, she made me feel at ease throughout all my visits .
Highly recommended ascent and Jyoti – terrific service
Thank you so much ! From the first step into Ascent Dentist I was welcomed and reassured that I would be treated to suit my fears. I am terrified of the dentist but after meeting the receptionist,the nurse then the actual dentist I felt that I could actually go through with my treatment. I had an initial examination then was advised what treatment I needed. I felt so relieved that I agreed to have the treatment. I made my appointment for root canal and fillings under sedation! WOW! On the day of treatment I arrived and was put at ease by all welcoming,smiling staff,it really is a good environment! Had my treatment and taken. Home_ no side effects but best of all no pain. I would recommend ASCENT Dentist to anyone afraid or not. Thank you for making this the best dental experience. Mrs D’Arcy.
If you want to be looked after and have great teeth then this is the place to go! There is nothing I can fault about this company. They have always been so friendly, professional, always had appointment times, kept in touch to confirm appointments and the place is always spotless and smells amazing! Cleanliness is 10/10 too. They go the extra mile, sending little cards to wish you well with your new braces. I had one to say we hope your getting on with your new brace and another to say we hope you are loving your new smile! I am extremely happy with my results and I would high recommend this dentist to anyone!
Everyone is so helpful and friendly. Every time I’ve been my appointments have been on time and quick, and my dentist is really professional and welcoming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for general dentistry or orthodontic/ cosmetic treatment.
Good Morning, following my wife: Gilly’s, superb experience at Ascent l have bitten the bullet and have had treatment myself. Since a child l have had wonkey teeth and have been overly conscious of my smile. I booked in to see Jyoti: who worked a minor miracle on Gilly’s broken front tooth, and how glad l am, although l suspect all the dentists have the same expertise. I had my initial appraisal and after a thorough check up and discussion l decided on composite bonding preceeded by home teeth whitening. The whitening was followed by a further appointment to finalise the bonding work and see a mock up that Jyoti had made showing me how my teeth would look after bonding. Once agreed, the game was on😬😬, Final appointment 2 weeks later and I shouldn’t have worried, 2 1/2 hours in the chair and the work was completed with no injections, no pain, slight discomfort but to be expected. Then came the big reveal, no fanfare or band playing, just Jyoti and her dental tech smiling and holding a mirror for me to look at my, “new” self. I can’t accurately describe how l felt, after so many years of smiling with a closed mouth or the hand over my mouth, l could now see straight white: not too white, gleaming teeth, overjoyed about sums it up. Anyway, enough of me, Jyoti is in my opinion a fabulous dentist with a smashing manner and approach, not at all pushy and is respectful of her patients input, faultless. When you then add the fantastic and friendly girls/ladies on reception, in my case Caitlan and Ellie, the whole dentist experience is on a level l have never felt before in a dentists surgery. Bottom line, Gilly and l have fallen on our feet choosing Ascent and have now joined their care plan. Thanks to all. Rgds Peter Battersby JP
Amazing experience every time I’ve been. I was petrified of having my first root canal and was completely put at ease. No pain at all (genuinely!) and the aftercare was incredible. I’ve had a lot of dental treatment in the past and never had everything explained so thoroughly and clearly, never rushed through. Highly recommend!
Fantastic professionalism and flexibility to suit my demands. I was booked in originally to have some routine maintenance carried out but then after looking at the cosmetic services that Ascent provide decided to opt for Veneers. Perfect job carried out and a big thanks to all.
Recently I had root canal work done by Dr Jesal Savania to cure and rescue an infected tooth. I dreaded what was to come when I heard that I’d have to undergo a root canal procedure. I need not have worried!! Jesal was quite an amazing surgical expert. I experienced negligible pain and was kept informed all the way through about what was happening and before I knew it, it was done. What is also incredible was that the whole procedure was carried out through an existing crown. The crown was created some decades earlier but rather than waste it, Jesal was so skilled he rescued both crown and underlying tooth and left me feeling calm and even relaxed in the dentist chair when it was all done ! This excellent dentist and the dental practice are to be congratulated on an excellent outcome. Thank you!
