Creating balance and softening the smile

Composite Veneers

This case was focused on improving natural harmony. With composite bonding 2–2, we refined the balance of the smile by reducing the prominence of the central incisors and creating a more even, symmetrical appearance. The result is subtle and natural-looking, with small changes that make the overall smile feel softer and more balanced.

A First Visit Designed Around You

Some patients arrive ready to change their smile. Others need to rebuild dental health after years of problems, or have anxiety that has made starting difficult. Your first visit is designed to establish the right direction, not force you into a treatment.

Exceptional dentistry icon representing The Dental Barns, Blackbrook, Lichfield.
Excellence

We combine generous clinical time, advanced technology and careful planning so the decisions made at the beginning support healthy, predictable treatment later. The aim is clarity, not speed for its own sake.

Bespoke

Your starting point depends on where you are now. Smile Design is conversation-led and exploratory, while Fast Track ✦ adds the comprehensive examination and diagnostics needed to build a formal treatment plan in one focused visit.

Wellness

Our peaceful Blackbrook Barns setting, unhurried appointments and personalised experience are designed to make starting feel calm and manageable, particularly if anxiety has delayed the care you want or need.

Smile makeovers are my favourite part of dentistry. There’s nothing better than seeing someone light up with confidence.

Dr Keely Thorne, Principal Dentist

The Dental Barns was purpose-built with smile makeovers in mind — a space designed to relax and entertain, while integrating advanced technology to ensure even the finest details are never overlooked.

David Drew, Co-Founder & Owner

I love natural dentistry. The biggest compliment is when patients feel amazing — but it's not obvious that it's their teeth that have been improved.

First Visit, First Impressions

Don't just take our word for it, take three from our lovely patients...

What to expect when you first visit The Dental Barns

There are two ways to begin. Smile Design gives you time to explore what you would like to change and the routes that may suit you.

Fast Track ✦ combines Smile Design with the comprehensive examination and diagnostics needed to build a formal treatment plan in one focused appointment.

2. Smile Design

Start With What You Want to Change

Smile Design is our conversation-led starting point for cosmetic and restorative care. We take time to understand what is bothering you, what you would like to improve and how subtle or transformative you want the result to feel. You do not need to know which treatment you need before you arrive.

3. Assess

Build the Clinical Picture

Before a formal treatment plan can be created, we need to understand your dental health properly. That means a comprehensive examination and the diagnostics clinically appropriate for your case, which may include digital scanning, photography, intraoral imaging and X-rays. Fast Track ✦ combines this stage with Smile Design in your first appointment.

Once the clinical assessment is complete, Dr Keely can bring your goals and the findings together into a formal, fully itemised treatment plan. It sets out what is recommended, the order of treatment, the expected appointments and the costs involved, so you can make an informed decision before treatment begins.
