Business Owner, General Dentist and Implantologist

“I am privileged to be given the opportunity to help patients overcome their fear of the dentist. When a patient comes to see me for the first time following years of oral health neglect due to the anxiety they feel, being given that responsibility of escorting them through their journey is an honour and I never tire of the satisfaction I get from seeing a patient leave my practice with a new smile and increased confidence!”

Words From Our Patients

Comfort & Satisfaction

Comfort & Satisfaction

I visited Calm & Gentle for the first time last week, having not seen a dentist for decades due to horrible experiences as a teenager! Everyone is just so lovely and patient and reassuring, I had my first filling yesterday and was a nervous wreck- They really looked after me! Highly recommend 🙂

Although I now live over an hour away, I've returned to Calm and Gentle Dental Care purely because I trust Pieter's work. And once again I couldn't be more delighted with the result. I can't recommend them highly enough.
