About
Angel Ognemirov — endodontic care for Ashby-de-la-Zouch
A practice given over entirely to endodontics: careful diagnosis, treatment under magnification and a calm, unhurried approach for patients who find the dentist difficult.
Angel Ognemirov Endodontist
Angel Ognemirov holds an MSc in Endodontics from the University of Chester and undertook training in oral and intravenous dental sedation at Guy's Hospital in London. He is also certified in Restorative Dentistry and belongs to the Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD).
A good deal of his work is with people who find the dentist genuinely frightening. His response is practical: appointments that are never hurried, a plain explanation before each step, anaesthetic checked before anything begins and the freedom to pause at any moment. Patients who have avoided treatment for years are seen without judgement.
Clinically, his priorities are an accurate diagnosis and a fair chance for every tooth — magnification for each root canal, modern technique as the norm and a candid written opinion of what the tooth can be expected to do. Patients come from Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the surrounding villages, by referral and directly.

Endodontics, and only endodontics
The practice treats the inside of the tooth and nothing else: root canal treatment and retreatment, surgery at the root tip, cracked and injured teeth, and the assessment of tooth pain. Concentrating on a single discipline means the equipment, the time set aside for each appointment and daily experience all serve the same purpose — keeping natural teeth that might otherwise be lost.
The way we work
Every patient starts with an assessment. We hear how the problem behaves, examine and test the teeth rather than assume, and take whatever X-rays are needed to confirm the diagnosis. The findings are shown to you on screen, and you take away the diagnosis, the recommended treatment, its realistic prospects and the fee in writing. Nothing is put in the diary until you have reached your decision.
Treatment is carried out under magnification, with local anaesthetic checked before anything begins and appointments long enough that no one is hurried. If dental treatment makes you anxious, tell us: the visit is paced around you, each step is explained in advance and you can stop whenever you wish. Sedation can be discussed after the assessment.
Fees
Fees are set out in writing after the assessment and before any treatment. The quoted figure covers the treatment described, including any dressing visit it requires; the final crown or filling is placed and charged by your own dentist. You will not be surprised by a bill.
Working with your dentist
Your own dentist remains your dentist from start to finish. Dentists refer patients to us, and patients are equally welcome to contact us themselves. Following every visit we send your dentist a report, the X-rays and our advice on the final restoration, so nothing falls between the two practices.
