Welcome to Ascent Dental Care

With four locations in Longmeadow and East Longmeadow, MA, Ascent Dental Care combines years of experience with the latest in dental technology to give our patients optimal results. We are a comprehensive dental practice, meaning you can get your routine dental exams, teeth whitening, and even dental implants all under one roof.

We're your neighbors, your friends, and our commitment to you is that we will treat you like family. We're Ascent Dental Care and we look forward to meeting you.

Ascent Dental Care provides the following services:

General Dentistry – Whether it's your twice-yearly dental cleaning and exam or imaging to diagnose potential problems before they become more serious, we offer a full range of general dentistry services at our Longmeadow and East Longmeadow offices.

Restorative Dentistry – When teeth are damaged, we use restorative treatments to restore their function and appearance. These include crowns, composite fillings, and bridges.

Cosmetic Dentistry – If teeth are functioning properly, but you're not happy with their appearance, we turn to cosmetic dentistry to help give you confidence in your smile. We offer whitening, bonding, and veneers, among other treatments.

Dental Implants – Dental implants are the best solution for missing teeth because they are the only treatment that replaces the entire tooth from root to crown, restoring not only function and aesthetics, but also preventing loss of bone in the jaw.

Invisalign® – We are proud to offer Invisalign treatment to our patients. These nearly-invisible clear aligners gently straighten teeth over time, without bringing attention to the smile like traditional metal braces.

Ascent Laser Aesthetics – We offer a variety of aesthetic treatments, from Botox to fillers and laser hair removal, to help you look and feel your best.

CEREC Same Day Restorations – When a crown is needed, we can fabricate it on-site the same day as your initial appointment, eliminating the typical two-week waiting time and need for multiple visits.

Periodontal Procedures – During your routine dental exams, we will examine your gums for signs of periodontitis. When gum disease is present, we offer scaling and root planing to reverse it.

Snoring and Sleep Apnea – Our practice can have custom-made splints and night guards created for you to prevent snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.

TMJ Disorder Treatment – TMJ is often exacerbated by teeth grinding. Our custom-made night guards can prevent you from grinding your teeth while you sleep.

Pediatric Dentistry – At Ascent Dental Care, we treat the whole family. In addition to the services listed above, we also offer fluoride treatments and dental sealants to keep children's teeth healthy and strong.

Sedation Dentistry – We understand that dental phobias can be an obstacle when it comes to seeking treatment for oral health concerns. We offer a variety of sedation options to keep you calm and comfortable throughout your procedure.

After graduating from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Coughlin began practicing in Springfield before starting his own dental practice.

Not one to rest on his laurels, Dr. Coughlin more recently became a licensed esthetician and is on staff at Noble Hospital.
