What Our Patients Say...

Why Us?

and, how can a Penguin fix my smile...?

Tonbridge Dental Implant Centre is the proud owner of one of the very few Penguin machines in the UK.

The Penguin is a nifty little device that checks how successful your implant treatment is!

This technology allows us to catch any issues early on, and helps to fix them much quicker than a regular dental practice could.

And that' s how a penguin  could get your smile back!

"Dear Doctor Claassen,When we began the treatment you completed today, you said that it might take anything from six months to a year, but that you would keep me informed every step of the way. In that and everything else you have been as good as your word. I think you may have actually scraped in just under six months.
I thought I had to take the opportunity to thank you and your staff for everything you have done. You have guided me through all the complications, answered all my questions promptly and on that fine line between dumbing down and talking down. Appointments have been prompt and the level of courtesy demonstrated by all your staff has been exemplary.
The amount of work I had done has cost a great deal of money. However, getting some insight into what has been involved and what is happening when I am not in the chair, it is understandable why it costs what it does. In fact, I have wondered how you can produce such quality work for the money. Consequently, I will be recommending you to friends who are a little loath to pay out when they are not fully aware of what it is they are paying for.
I mentioned on your website a while back that I have attended dentists in France, the US, Australia and the UK. I cannot recall any of them being pleasant or that I would have attended in preference to doing virtually anything else, but I can honestly say that a visit to Calm and Gentle has reduced my natural dislike for visiting the dentist to a point where it is acceptable and I am not spending the week prior looking for reasons to delay.
Again, thank you all very much,

Yours sincerely,

​Patrick Stoner"

What a wonderful team…thank you all so much. I never thought going to the dentist would be so enjoyable – it’s the best money I have spent in years and best of all, I can eat what I want, where I want and smile with a new found confidence. Thanks to you all…

What is a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are small metal pegs that act as a base for replacement teeth. They are placed into the jawbone and act like roots in that they support the tooth, denture or bridge.
​
The dental implant fits into the bone and has a clip (abutment) that the tooth (crown) fits on to. Implants are usually made of titanium. This versatile material is used throughout medicine as it has no ill effect on the human body. Dental implants should last a lifetime if you look after them and maintain good oral hygiene.

We often see nervous patients who are not comfortable visiting the dentist. If you find yourself getting butterflies or sweaty palms at the thought of going to get your teeth checked, you could be suffering from dental anxiety.

Why not fill out our anxiety questionnaire and send it in to us? It will really help us get to know how nervous you are before you arrive - meaning we can make sure you're always in control of the speed of the appointment, and how we can cater to your individual needs.
