FAQ

Find answers to common questions about our location and how to reach us with ease.

Is parking available at your practice?

Yes! We have ample free parking, with roomy parking spots

How do I find your practice?

We are conveniently located just off the A38 near Weeford, between Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield. The nearest roundabouts are the Weeford Interchange and Bassetts Pole. Blackbrook Barns is easily accessed from the southbound side of the A38 and is clearly signposted. You may need to use the Weeford Interchange if travelling North to get on the right side of the A38. If using a Sat-Nav, our postcode: WS14 0PS should get you right to us.

Can I use a Satnav to find you?

Yes! You can simply use "The Dental Barns" or our postcode: WS14 0PS. Google Maps works best, while we await Apple Maps to update our location.

Are you on a main road?

Whilst we are just off the A38, you need to use the private driveway to access Blackbrook Barns, this is a wide quiet gravel road, with a speed limit of 10MPH.

Are you accessible by public transport?

Due to our rural location, we aren't directly accessible by public transport. However, we are just a 10-minute taxi ride from both Lichfield and Sutton Coldfield, both of which have excellent public transport links.

Is the Practice Easy to Access for Those with Mobility Needs?

Despite the challenges of our rural and historic site, we've made every effort to ensure accessibility. There are ramps leading to the practice doors, with a shallow threshold for easy entry. The practice is level, with just one small step, and our team will be on hand to assist. Accessible toilets are provided on-site at the Blackbrook Retail Village.

Do You Have Nearby Amenities?

Yes, we are part of Blackbrook Retail Village, which is home to several boutique businesses, including a cosy coffee shop serving hot pastries and snacks, all within a charming community atmosphere.

Confidence through smile makeovers

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

Natural-looking dentistry

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.

A non-clinical setting

Every detail was carefully considered to ensure the space doesn’t feel clinical. I drew inspiration from top hotels to create an environment where you can forget you’re in a dental practice.

Choosing EMS

We wanted routine hygiene to reflect the same thought and care as every other part of The Dental Barns. After exploring the options, we chose EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy as our standard.
