Ascentra was founded on the principle that every pet deserves a comfortable, pain-free mouth.

Our founder, Dr. Jane Pegg, is a board-certified veterinary dentist and oral surgeon, and a passionate advocate for pet dental health. Ascentra is the realization of her vision: a purpose-built hospital in Newmarket, Ontario, dedicated exclusively to veterinary dentistry and oral surgery.

Dental issues are incredibly common in pets and a tailored, patient specific approach is key to getting the best outcome in every situation. No two families are alike, no two pets are alike and no two situations are alike - this is why we treat every case as an individual and aim to provide optimal care for every pet and family we serve.

Board Certified Veterinary Dentist

Founder

Dr. Pegg is the founder of both Ascentra Veterinary Dentistry and Oral Surgery and Transcend Veterinary Continuing Education. She is a passionate advocate for veterinary oral health and teaches dentistry for family veterinarians.

In addition to her clinical duties and teaching, she also speaks at conferences, and publishes scientific articles most recently the Veterinary Dental Forum.


Our Hospital

Our hospital is purpose-built in a brand-new, spacious building. From it's conception through construction and opening, the sole focus has been to enhance the delivery of safe, efficient high-quality veterinary dental care.

We offer routine and advanced diagnostic and oral surgical care for pets both on a referral basis and a primary care basis for dental conditions.

We have intentionally chosen not to be a full service primary care hospital so that we can focus exclusively on providing dental and oral care for pets.

Visiting Newmarket

Yes, we're a bit small and quaint, but we kinda like that!

There are lots of great things to do while you're here and we've linked a few pet friendly hotels too.
