Dr. Jeff Johnston

Dr. Jeff Johnston, an experienced and well-known dentist in Denver, CO, has spent his lifetime in the dental industry and enjoys working with all of his patients.  As a young person, Dr. Johnston spent lots of time in many different dental offices receiving treatment for an impacted front tooth, which required multiple dental specialties. After a few dental surgeries and years in braces, Dr. Johnston’s career interest gradually molded into place. At age 12, Dr. Johnston felt dentistry had chosen him and has been passionate about it ever since.

While in dental school at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Dr. Johnston served 4 years with dental missions in Mexico. This extracurricular activity allowed for an early start and additional hands on training while in school. Before graduating, in 2003, Dr. Johnston did an internship at the Brownsville Community Health Clinic on the Mexico – Texas border. Here, Dr. Johnston received more additional hands on dental education tending to low income individuals with extensive dental needs. 

In 2008, Dr. Johnston decided to create Ascent Dental Group, the culmination of his lifelong dental journey. As a dentist in the Denver, CO area, he is dedicated to creating an environment where doctor and patient have a strong lasting relationship that allows successful communication for better patient treatment, a product of being raised in a small town. He is passionate about the constant improvement of Ascent Dental, his continued dental education, his patient relationships, and his self-improvement.
