Dental Implants Rustington

Over the years, patients began calling Dr. Pieter Claassen 'Painless Pete' because of his exceptionally gentle approach and his proprietary keyhole implant technique. Unlike conventional implant surgery, which involves cutting and folding back the gum tissue, Dr. Claassen's minimally invasive method uses a small, precisely guided keyhole incision — often no larger than the implant itself. Using guided surgery technology and 3D planning, the implant is placed through this tiny opening with pinpoint accuracy, meaning no large cuts, minimal bleeding, less post-operative swelling, and a significantly faster recovery. Most patients are genuinely surprised by how comfortable the procedure is — many describe it as easier than a routine filling.

Our dental implants in Rustington start from £2,250 for a single implant including the porcelain crown (Package 1, 5-year guarantee). Package 2 is £2,873 with a 7-year guarantee, and Package 3 is £3,425 with a 10-year guarantee. All packages include a free consultation and CBCT scan. We offer 0% interest-free finance with a 25% deposit — for example, a £2,250 implant requires a £563 deposit with monthly payments from just £140/month over 12 months.

Most adults with good general health are suitable for implants. We assess your bone density, gum health, and medical history during your free consultation. Smokers and those with certain medical conditions may require additional assessment, but many patients who have been told elsewhere that they are not suitable have been successfully treated by Dr. Claassen.

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should feel no pain during treatment. Dr. Claassen's keyhole technique means there are no large incisions, which significantly reduces post-operative soreness. Some mild swelling is normal for a few days afterwards, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The porcelain crown on top may need replacing after 10–15 years due to normal wear. All our packages include a written guarantee of 5, 7, or 10 years.

Yes — our practice at 7 Broadmark Lane, Rustington is just a short drive from Littlehampton, Angmering, Ferring, Goring-by-Sea, East Preston, and Worthing. We welcome patients from across West Sussex for dental implant treatment.

A CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) scan produces a detailed 3D image of your jawbone, teeth, and surrounding structures. It allows Dr. Claassen to plan your implant placement with pinpoint accuracy and identify any bone density issues before treatment. A CBCT scan is included free of charge in all our implant packages.

Care for your implant just like a natural tooth — brush twice daily with a soft-bristled brush, floss or use interdental brushes, and attend regular hygiene appointments. Our hygiene team will provide personalised aftercare advice and monitor your implant at every visit.

Bone loss does not necessarily rule out implants. In some cases, a bone graft procedure can be carried out before or at the same time as implant placement to build up the jawbone. Dr. Claassen will assess this at your free consultation and discuss all options with you.
