Our Intention
As a team, our intention at Ascent Dental Care is to create an environment that feels good for our patients! Our goal is to connect with our patients and enable them to elevate their dental health.
Our practice is focused on preventative dental therapy. Working with our patients, our goal is to help them cultivate an environment of oral health, which ultimately leads to overall health.
We believe that health is innately accessible to all of us. Technology, science, and personal adaptability are at the heart of what we do. By using the technological advancements available to us in combination with a deep understanding of health, we enable our patients to create and maintain their optimal dental health.

Meet Dr. Nirvani Umadat
DMD, B.Sc (Dent), B. Sc, GPR
Dr. Nirvani Umadat received her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Manitoba Faculty of Dentistry in 2011. After graduation, she completed a one-year residency at the University of British Columbia/Vancouver General Hospital.

Though Dr. Nirvani has a wide scope of practice, the aspect of dentistry that appeals to her most is her connection to her patients. She deeply appreciates the trust her patients place in her abilities. Her time with her patients is a time for her to connect to them, understand their needs, listen to their goals, and ultimately deliver the individualized care each person needs. She hopes to enable others to realize their innate ability to mould their perceptions of themselves, their health, and their dental experience.
She believes that we are all here to be great. Whatever we choose to do, however we choose to do it, our greatness is expressed in the actions we take everyday. This profound belief is something she has carried forward in to her personal and professional life.
Over the past twelve years, Dr. Nirvani and her husband, Dr. Kevin Vong, have created amazing experiences travelling to some of the most remote places on Earth to deliver dental care to those with limited access. This has given her perspective of the world and the ways in which we are all connected to one another.
