Real stories from patients who chose a different kind of dentistry.
Joseph M.
Great office, friendly reception. Good use of a first visit questionnaire to begin the conversation on what YOU want from your dentist. Most importantly it was by far the most technically proficient cleaning I've ever experienced from a hygienist.

I had a wonderful experience at Ascend Dental. The staff were very kind, welcoming, and professional from the moment that I arrived. Dr. Murray is a great dentist—very knowledgeable, thorough, and clearly passionate about his profession.
Kelly R.
I love Ascend! Dr. Magers is great and I love my dental hygienist, Kayla. Everyone is friendly and I’ve never felt pressure to have any work done that wasn’t necessary. I highly recommend.
Stella B.
I recently became a new patient at Ascend after not visiting the dentist in years, and my experience has been nothing short of perfect!! Upon calling for a new patient appointment, they were able to get me in the next week.
Grace A.
I had not been to the dentist in years, so I was very nervous to go again. But my husband has been coming here for years and always has great things to say about them. He was spot on! The receptionists were attentive and friendly, I loved my hygienist Kayla, she was really sweet and made sure I was comfortable the whole time.
Michael R.
This place treats you like family. I got tired of the sterile experience with the chain dentistry, and am always impressed by the warm greetings and personalized treatment we get from Dr. Magers and his team.
