In currently a patient at The Dental Barns, Lichfield. I wanted to leave a review despite being half way through my treatment plan. Its extensive so I am unable to write a short review! The first half of my treatment plan was removing old silver fillings from my back teeth. They have been replaced with porcelain overlays. I have had a silver filling replaced with a white composite one and an additional filling too. I’ve also suffered for the last 30 years with my front 2 upper teeth. Not only have I had root canal fillings, one tooth capped, one implant but also regular painful abscesses above them. Recently, the capped front tooth snapped off and I just cried. I became aware of The Dental Barns on Instagram and followed them for a few months before contacting them. Understanding my treatment at the Dental Barns is a fully immersive experience. My teeth are scanned and I can view them on a huge tv screen. Dr Keeley Thorne showed images of each tooth and talked through the issues. Their expertise, patient centred approach and innovative technology gives an understanding about my teeth I’ve never experienced before. Alongside this, I have also never experienced such a calming environment. It truly is a holistic experience. The tranquil environment is spa quality, calming and clean. As an anxious patient it makes a huge difference to how calm I am before I even go in for my treatment. The staff are waiting for you, friendly and welcoming. They go through my treatment plan with me every visit and I can log onto the portal to see it too. I know exactly what to expect, what’s happening at my next appointment. Needless to say, I have spent a considerable amount of time in the dentist chair and have appreciated their viral cushioning support and chair side reassurance and encouragement. My treatment has been surprisingly pain free which I have not experienced before. While my treatment is being carried out, I watch my chosen episodes of Friends in complete comfort. For the first time ever, I have never felt anxiety about retuning for my next treatment. I’m very well informed of the next steps in my treatment plan which is Invisalign and these will reposition my teeth to remove the issues I have had all those years with my front teeth. I’m looking forward to it and I’d be happy for The Dental Barn to share my before and after photos once my treatment has finished. I have complete faith that Dr Keeley Thorn will give me the beautiful natural smile I have always wanted. Thank you to all the wonderful staff and their incredible expertise for taking away all the stress and worries I initially had and making my journey to finally having the smile and teeth I want exciting & enjoyable.
