“Most of our patients tell us the procedure was painless — and if you ever feel a thing, we make the area more numb and won’t begin until you’re completely comfortable. You stay in control the whole way through.”
— Dr Pieter Claassen
A dental implant permanently replaces a missing tooth without touching the healthy teeth either side of it. It restores comfortable chewing, clear speech and a smile you don’t have to think about — and, done well, it lasts.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that takes the place of a missing tooth root. It’s placed gently into the jawbone, and over a few months it fuses with the bone to form a stable foundation. On top of it we fit a custom-made crown, bridge or secure denture — the part you see and smile with.
The post
The titanium root that integrates with your bone.
The abutment
The connector that sits at the gumline.
The crown
The natural-looking replacement tooth on top.
Because the implant replaces the root as well as the tooth, it keeps the jawbone active and healthy — something a conventional bridge or denture can’t do.

Full mouth & All-on-4 implants
If you’ve lost most or all of your teeth, or you’re struggling with loose dentures, you don’t need an implant for every single tooth. A full arch of fixed teeth can be supported on as few as four to six implants — often called All-on-4 or full-mouth implants.
The result is a fixed set of teeth that stay in permanently — no plates, no adhesive, no taking them out at night. For many patients it’s genuinely life-changing: eating what they like and smiling without a second thought.
Depending on how many teeth are missing, the right option might be a single implant and crown, an implant-retained bridge replacing several teeth on two or more implants, a full All-on-4 arch, or an implant-retained overdenture that clips firmly onto implants instead of resting on your gums. We’ll recommend what suits you at your consultation.
Because every full-mouth case is different, the best starting point is a consultation and 3D scan so we can show you exactly what’s possible for you.

Your implant dentist
Implants are a serious decision, so it’s worth knowing who’s placing them.
Your treatment is led by Pieter Claassen, who qualified BChD at the University of Pretoria, South Africa (1999) and holds a Master’s degree (MSc) in Dental Implantology from the University of Warwick, awarded with Merit (2013), with clinical training on Harley Street, London. He has placed thousands of dental implants.
We place the Conelog implant system — a premium Swiss-German implant whose conical implant-abutment connection is specifically designed to minimise the bone loss that can occur around implants, helping keep your implant stable for the long term.
Pieter is also the author of “The 7 Biggest Mistakes”, a plain-English patient guide to dental implants — a dentist who has written the book on the subject.
General Dental Council registration number: 76231.
A calmer, more comfortable experience
Our whole practice is built around gentle, anxiety-free care — and implants are no exception.
“When we surveyed our own implant patients, many needed no painkillers at all afterwards — and those who did typically needed them for only about two days.”
— Dr Pieter Claassen

Your questions, answered by Dr Claassen
Straight answers to the questions patients ask us most — from Pieter himself.
What our implant patients say
★★★★★“I was devastated after breaking my front tooth and was so nervous about getting an implant. After visiting 3 clinics, I knew immediately that this was the right one for me, as all the staff were genuinely nice and Dr Claassen was so calm and confident. Everything was explained clearly to me and all options proposed. The whole process was easy and pain free and a few months later I am now smiling confidently again.”
Marylin Kain
★★★★★“Today I had the next stage along with my implants — it means getting closer to the final teeth and so rewarding each time. I have been treated with the utmost respect and I am grateful that we are edging towards my final smile.”
Regina Hall
★★★★★“Look, no one likes going to the dentist! With most it is an unpleasant and even painful experience. Not so with Pieter. ‘Calm and Gentle’ is the promise and that is what I experienced. I didn’t feel a thing. If you need an implant, don’t risk a trip to Turkey or further. Right here in Tonbridge, we have the best.”
Adrian Gilbert
★★★★★“You guided me through every step and answered every question — on that fine line between dumbing down and talking down. I’ve attended dentists in France, the US, Australia and the UK; a visit to Calm & Gentle is the first I’ve not dreaded.”
Patrick Stoner
★★★★★“I was very nervous because it was a big job, but it was done in stages. I found Pieter very professional and painstaking. Now I don’t worry about my teeth. My granddaughter said, ‘Nana, you’ve got film stars’ teeth!’ I can eat, I can smile.”
Mrs Mahony
★★★★★“Having implants was the best decision I ever made. I used to hide my teeth and wouldn’t eat in public. Now I can eat what I want, when I want — including apples — and I’m far more confident.”
Stephen Barnham
★★★★★“I’d been told my remaining teeth were unlikely to survive — it was a bombshell. Then I met Pieter and his team. They listened, explained my options, and I decided on implants. In no time my new smile was complete, and I’m a much more confident, happier person.”
Mrs P.
