Dr. Ash's Mission
Dental anxiety is real–and I take it seriously. That’s why my first priority is to listen. Your concerns matter, and I take the time to explain your diagnosis, walk you through your treatment and pain management options, and conclude by discussing preventive care tailored to you. Dr. Ash
I use a true representation of your teeth in 3D to explain my findings and treatment recommendations. I believe it’s important for you to understand the why behind the what. This 3D scan is offered at no cost to you or your insurance.
With over 20 years of experience, I have a broad skill set in general dentistry, restorative dentistry, and cosmetic dentistry. This means I handle not only routine fillings and extractions but also offer advanced treatments such as same-day teeth removal and full dentures, dental implants, smile makeovers, Invisalign, and much more. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the full range of services available.
Technology also plays an important role in my practice. Tools like intraoral scanners and 3D printing complement my clinical skills and enhance convenience, precision, and comfort for my patients.

Meet Our Wonderful Team
Rohini - Dental Hygienist
Hi, I’m Rohini. I’ve been working in the dental industry since 2018, and as a dental hygienist I love helping people feel relaxed and leave with brighter, healthier smiles. Getting to know my patients, listening to their concerns, and making each visit comfortable is the heart of my work. In my spare time, you’ll find me outdoors — camping, biking, hiking, or capturing life’s beauty through my camera. I bring that same care, attention to detail, and appreciation for people into every appointment.
Aly - Front Desk Coordinator
Hi, I’m Aly — the friendly face who greets you when you arrive at our dental office. I love making every patient feel welcomed, comfortable, and cared for from the very first hello. Whether I’m scheduling your appointment or sharing a smile, my goal is to make your visit smooth and enjoyable. Outside the office, I’m a proud mom of three amazing kids. People are at the heart of everything I do, and I’m grateful to be part of a team that values compassion, care, and connection.
Santhi - Dental Administrative Assistant
Hi, I’m Santhi. I love being the friendly face that welcomes patients and makes every visit smooth and comfortable. From scheduling appointments to answering questions, I’m here to help and make sure everyone feels cared for from the moment they arrive. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and spending quality time with my family — both bring joy and balance to my life.
Jagrati - Dental Assistant
Hi, I’m Jagrati. I believe in truly listening to patients and creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that builds trust and connection beyond dental care. On my days off, I enjoy walking in nature, catching up with friends, and reading a good book — they keep me grounded and energized. I value empathy, connection, and continuous learning.
Under the care of Dr. Ash, we blend skill, compassion, and the latest technology to provide high-quality treatment tailored to you.
From preventive care (cleanings, fillings) to more advanced procedures (wisdom tooth extraction, dentures, implants, cosmetic dentistry), everything you need is available right here in one convenient location.
Come experience the difference of modern care with a personal touch.
Outside the clinic, I’m happily married to my graduate school sweetheart and the proud father of two energetic and adorable sons. I consider my family my greatest strength and blessing, and we’re grateful to call the wonderful city of Waterloo home.
An avid cyclist, I’ve completed rides of up to 128 kilometers in a single stretch. I believe in maintaining a healthy body, mind, and soul as the foundation for being the best version of oneself.
I look forward to welcoming you to our practice and partnering with you on your journey to a healthy, confident smile.
