Featured in Private Dentistry Magazine – How I Did It
Dr. Keely Thorne and David Drew share in Private Dentistry Magazine how they created a luxury dental practice with high-end interior design and a boutique spa feel.
How We Did It: The Highs and Lows of Establishing a Destination Dental Practice
When Private Dentistry Magazine asked us to share our story, we knew we had to be honest — about the highs, the hard calls, and what it really takes to open a new practice from scratch, all while navigating pregnancy, parenthood, and a vision that went against the grain.
From signing the lease just days before discovering we were expecting our second child… to building a retreat-style space where patients sip cappuccinos and feel at ease, this is the real story behind The Dental Barns.
We shared how we designed every inch ourselves, worked 7 days a week (with a newborn in tow), and created a sensory-driven experience that’s helped patients go from phobia to excitement.
The aim was to replicate high-end home interior design. We devoted considerable time to exploring boutique hotels and spas.
