About Ascend
At Ascend, we’re redefining dentistry as a path to healing — not just treatment. We believe that healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and supported. Every detail of your visit is designed to nurture balance, clarity, and connection between the mouth, body, and mind. Integrity, reverence, connection and restoration guide everything we do — blending precision dentistry with a deeply human touch.

We Can’t Wait to Help You Heal
our approach
We believe that oral health is the gateway to whole-body vitality.
For Dr. Allie Kudish, healing began long before dentistry. After years of managing an autoimmune condition through conventional medicine, she found true recovery through functional and integrative care. That experience changed everything — and inspired her to bring the same depth of healing into her dental practice. Now, Ascend stands as one of the few biologically based clinics in the region.
The Story of How Ascend Began
get to know us better
Dr. Kudish is one of the most kind, attentive, skilled, and professional dentists I have met. My experience with her has been the best. I would highly recommend her.
First visit was great, they paid attention to my individual needs. The hygienist and Dr. Kudish gave me excellent care. I highly recommend!
It’s not often (ever?) I’ve left the dentist thinking “I need to leave a five star review!” Dr. Kudish and her staff have changed that! They’ve created an atmosphere of excellence, trust and compassion. Truly the best in class!!
Dr. Kudish is the best! Knowledgeable, sensitive and gentle, proactive. She answers all my questions. The hygienists are very polite and kind and conduct thorough cleanings. I highly recommend this practice.
All of my visits have been 5 star. Dr. Kudish, the Dental Hygienists, and front office people are all top notch professionals. Thank you!
My daughter loves her hygienist Lori! My daughter has braces and she always gets the best cleanings! Dr. Kudish is just the sweetest, very conservative and she relays information very clearly so me and my daughter understand.
I love the way Dr. Kudish explains the plan of care and involves the patient in the plan. Dr. Kudish is a great dentist. I’m a little bit reserved for the hygienist. I prefer to wait after my care and see.
