Patient Reviews

After a 1980s childhood of brutal dentistry, closer to a gung-ho lecturing butchery than anything resembling care, I approached The Dental Barns in a state of rigid terror, fully aware that after decades of trauma fuelled dentist dodging and neglect, that it was time to find (for surely they existed?) a dentist and practice I could trust. My experience of The Dental Barns has been transformative. The team are caring, gentle and professional. The practice is relaxing, considered in all ways, and quite luxurious. My teeth are clean and finally unembarrassing, and my care plan is well underway. It's so odd for me to visit the dentist and to not be scared. To relax. To trust and actually feel looked after. I find myself quite looking forward to my next appointment, which is honestly astounding. I cannot recommend The Dental Barns highly enough.

I honestly couldn’t be happier with my experience at The Dental Barns, I’d wholeheartedly recommend The Dental Barns to anyone looking for a private or cosmetic dentist near Lichfield, particularly if you’re considering composite bonding and want a natural result that has been genuinely designed around you. I originally travelled from Burntwood to have composite bonding across 8 of my teeth, alongside protective retainers, and I’m absolutely thrilled with the result.... I went into my Smile Consultation with a very clear aesthetic in mind. My goal was to reduce some of the natural translucency in my teeth, disguise a few small chips and subtly soften my canines, while retaining a smile that still looked entirely like my own. I’d also saved an image of a smile whose shape and proportions I absolutely loved. Dr Keely was incredibly thorough, and the design of my smile felt like a genuinely collaborative process between the two of us. We talked in detail about the elements of my reference smile that I was drawn to, but equally about what would work with my own teeth, smile and individual proportions. During the bonding appointment, Keely even kept my reference image displayed on one of the screens so we could continually refer back to it throughout the treatment. It was a really considered process of taking the elements I loved and interpreting them in a way that worked naturally for me. The end result is still unmistakably my smile — just exactly as I wanted it. I loved the experience so much that The Dental Barns is now my regular dentist too, and I return for my routine check-ups and hygienist appointments. The practice itself is also a huge part of why I enjoy going back. Set at Blackbrook Barns near Lichfield, it’s an incredibly relaxing environment and genuinely doesn’t feel like a conventional dental practice - more like a luxury spa! The interiors are beautiful, the surroundings are lovely and everything feels calm and considered, with so much attention given to the smaller details of the patient experience. Everyone I’ve dealt with has been wonderful, and I always feel completely at ease there. I’m so happy with my teeth — for me, they’re the perfect smile.

Where do I even start… I have never had a more wonderful experience at a dentist before! I had composite bonding done a few years ago at a different practice and over time they began to wear and as I got older, I felt that they didn’t suit my mouth or resemble my natural teeth. After I decided to get them redone, I wanted to ensure that I went to the right dentist who understood my concerns and was able to give me my desired look. This was really important to me as I didn’t want to have to potentially spend more money on further treatments as composite bonding can be costly. After doing some research, I came across Dr Keely’s page and I’m so glad that I did. From the moment I walked through the doors at the Dental Barns I was met with such warmth and friendliness from David (and the nicest drink selection may I add!!). I struggled to believe I was in a dentist, instead it felt more like a spa. During my consultation, Dr Keely immediately noted my concerns, was understanding, and completely transparent with what she thought the best treatment plan would be for me. This process was collaborative and I didn’t feel pressured into anything that I didn’t want. I am completely over the moon with my new smile, Dr Keely is an absolute perfectionist and took alot of time and precision in each tooth to ensure that they looked natural and resembled my natural teeth but with some enhancements. I was even given the choice of what Netflix show I wanted to watch on the TV above me so that I could be distracted with headphones whilst the treatment was being completed. My partner, who dislikes the dentist, recently had his own treatment there and he said he felt so relaxed that he nearly fell asleep! Honestly I just cannot recommend the Dental Barns enough. Keely and David have created the perfect dental practice and are genuinely really lovely people!! See you both soon :)

First off the place is absolutely beautiful The location is lovely with a lovely view of fields and streams Inside the decor is incredibly modern, clean and the waiting room is like being in a spa. But above all Keely and David make the place whole, from the minute you enter David is there with a big smile on his face offering drinks and cakes and being very welcoming I am quite a nervous patient and need breaks when having work done in my mouth so I was worried about coming to a new dentist, I didn’t need to be! Keely was also like David so welcoming she listened to my concerns and I felt comfortable to explain how I might need breaks etc and this was all taken on board. After a consultation (around an hour was very in-depth) Keely helped me choose to go for porcelain veneers over composite knowing that it would suit me better due to lifestyle and current issues I was having. During my treatment I felt comfortable (headphones and tv lovely touch) I am terrified off needles in my mouth from bad past experiences, I honestly didn’t even feel a thing Keely numbed up the area and let it settle for a while before injecting and she was that gentle I didn’t even know she was doing it! This helped massively when I came in for the fitting as I was not worried or anxious for the needles again. My veneers are just perfect the colour match is just perfect got it spot on, and everyone has commented how wonderful my teeth look after I have told them I have veneers cause you honestly can’t tell! A big thank you to Keelys assistant Lauren as well she was absolutely wonderful constantly checking on me to make sure I was ok and a really lovely woman, together they make a great team and work well together. Dental beans is everything you see on social media, it’s clean, calm, inviting & overall beautiful.

I can't recommend The Dental Barns highly enough! After years of not knowing if anything could be done to improve my smile, I decided to take the plunge and book an appointment. My journey included aligners, whitening, and veneers, and from start to finish the experience was exceptional. Everything was explained clearly, I was given time to consider each stage of treatment, and I never felt rushed or pressured. The entire team made me feel comfortable and cared for throughout. The results have exceeded my expectations. Not only do I now have a smile I'm proud of, but I've also gone from being a very nervous dental patient to someone who actually looks forward to visiting the dentist. Thank you for giving me both my smile and my confidence back!

If you want a practice that offers exceptional care, THE DENTAL BARNS delivers in every respect. From the friendly, welcoming team who put you at ease to the first class treatment you will receive. If you are a nervous patient who has had issues with dental care in the past, you will be amazed how different this experience is. It actually makes a dental visit enjoyable!. As part of my care plan I have now had appointments which include Airflow hygiene treatment. Having endured torturous hygienist’s visits in the past, was apprehensive!. But Heather and the wonderful team were fantastic. It was a pain free and effective treatment in a relaxing setting.And so much time and care is taken. Cannot thank everyone enough. Take your teeth for a Spa experience……Best thing I ever did.

After a lot of research trying to find a dentist that I liked the look of, I came across The Dental Barns on Instagram. Their whole aesthetic made me want to join their VIP waiting list and before I knew it, I was having my initial consultation with Keely. I have avoided going to the dentist for years due to having bad experiences in the past but I can honestly say I’ve had the best care and the best treatments with Keely! I’ve also had a hygiene session with Chloe, which was also just as fantastic. As soon as you walk through the door, you are made to feel so welcome. You’re offered a coffee and macaroon which is such a nice treat while you wait. David, Lauren & Anna talk you through everything and keep checking that you’re OK throughout your treatment. They allow lots of time for each appointment so it never feels rushed. I would highly recommend The Dental Barns if you’re thinking about getting any dentistry treatments. They have managed to turn someone very frightened of the dentist into someone who actually looks forward to going!

If you’re on the hunt for a dentist to begin your Invisalign journey then Dr Keely is your lady! Dr Keely is so well knowledgeable, professional, has a calming nature and will give you the most incredible results using the most upto date technology with your Invisalign. I have a fear of the dentist and I really did feel at complete ease during every visit with Dr Keely! Straightening my teeth has been life changing for me, Dr Keely has given me a whole new smile which I’m very proud off, I can’t believe I waited until I was 33 to do this! My husband has since had Invisalign with Dr Keely and he is equally as happy with his results and my best friend had just started her journey after seeing our amazing results! Good luck with your very own surgery at the dental barns, very well earned! We can’t wait to come for a visit! I wish I could give x10 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have recently started my journey to straight teeth! This practice is incredible. Set in a fantastic location, going through the door is similar to going to a spa for the day! On arrival I was greeted by David, who offered me a freshly made coffee, and showed me to the waiting room. Wow! It's like sitting in an extremely comfortable lounge! The first thing I noticed was the amazing smell! I then went to start my treatment with Keely. I needed two fillings plus the start of my Spark straightening. She made me feel completely at ease and explained throughly the process. I then put on the noise cancelling headphones and lay back watching Netflix?!??!! Unbelievable!!! I can honestly say that I'm not a big fan of dentists due to prior bad experiences, but I didn't feel a thing! I was almost disappointed when the treatment was over! Then back to David, he showed me the aligners and most importantly the scanbox that attaches to your phone to scan images of your progress directly back to Keely from the comfort of your own home?! This is a five star dental practice, like nothing I've experienced previously. From having a poor experience with a former dentist, I now have complete trust and confidence in Keely and The Dental Barns. I can't rate this place highly enough, if you are deciding whether or not to take the plunge..... use these guys!!!!!

The Dental Barns is located in a stunning location and from the moment you arrive you feel completely relaxed. The team are welcoming, professional and provide the best service. No clinical feel at all it’s just like being at spa. I am so pleased with my new natural looking smile you can’t even tell I have veneers.

Couldn’t speak more highly of the Dental Barns. I recently just had cosmetic composite bonding done by Keeley and could not be happier with how they look. When looking for the perfect dentist to entrust with my smile makeover I came across the dental barns and the work that Keeley had done for previous patients and I was instantly decided that this is who I wanted for my new smile. Keeley took the time to really explain the procedure to me and made sure she knew exactly what I was looking to achieve, what I think sets her apart from many other dentist is that she really takes the time to perfect her work to make sure you have the most amazing result possible. To top it off the facility is like no other dentist I have ever been to, the whole experience was like going to a salon, calming and gorgeous tranquil setting with a relaxing lounge and refreshments and David makes a wonderful host. The treatment itself was very comfortable, you are able to watch your favorite tv series whilst having the treatment. Truly overall an amazing experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good cosmetic dentist.

My treatment at The Dental Barns has been first class from beginning to end and with stunning results. I actually cried with happiness when I saw the results yesterday. My new veneers are so natural looking and beautiful that I can't stop smiling. A huge thank you to Keeley, David, Chloe and all the nurses for all their hard work and (painless) care over the last few months. I have already recommended the practice to several friends and I do so to you without hesitation.

I cannot recommend The Dental Barns highly enough - first class from start to finish. I was originally reluctant to go the route of veneers but the E-Max veneers are truly revolutionary. I was terrified that veneers meant filing down of natural tooth to the extreme and had heard horror stories of black teeth underneath the veneers (from Turkey teeth documentaries) but the prep for E-Max is absolutely nominal. Keely showed me the finished prep before fitting and I honestly could not tell anything had been done! The E-Max veneer colour is bespoke to the individual and final result is completely natural - took 10 years off my age. Absolutely gold standard dentistry.

I am 3 months into my clear aligner journey and still so pleased and impressed with the efforts everyone at the Dental Barns goes to Keely is so professional, calming and reassuring- from the very beginning of my treatment I’ve never had any doubt I’m in safe hands and as a nervous patient I can’t recommend the Dental Barns highly enough - when looking through the services provided be it on the website or Instagram - the mission Keely and David have in transforming dentistry has to be applauded - it truly is a welcoming, calm, supportive space from reception to the hygienists - I am so glad I chose the Dental Barns for my treatment and looking forward to continuing my journey with them.

Absolutely amazing so far. I have been made to feel welcome by everyone and the treatment I have received has been second to none. For the first time in my 55 years, I have felt comfortable and reassured throughout my whole time spent in the chair and out. Also, it took me a little while to work out why it was so different at Dental Barns, for one you are never rushed, it feels like you are the most important client but also, I have not felt that feeling of "drowning" in my own saliva while going through any procedure. Something that has always made me slightly panicky before with other dentists. The whole team are absolutely lovely and genuinely care enough to make the time you are there as relaxing and comfortable as they can. Thank you. I definitely recommend. Worth every penny.❤️

This is truly a dentist like no other, it feels far more like a luxury spa or retreat than a dental practice. From the moment you walk in, every detail has been thought through with incredible care and style by Keeley, the lead dentist, who has an amazing eye for interior design and aesthetics, think beautiful flowers, festive Christmas trees and decorations, macarons, and even gorgeous high-end products in the bathroom. It’s all so considered, luxurious and welcoming. The entire team is absolutely lovely, warm, reassuring, and genuinely kind. As a nervous patient, this made all the difference for me. Everything is cutting-edge and high-tech, yet the experience feels calm, personal, and completely stress-free. I never thought I’d describe a dental visit as pleasurable, but here we are. If you’re anxious about dentists or just appreciate beautiful surroundings and exceptional care, this place is an absolute gem. Highly, highly recommend.

I literally can not recommend the Dental Barns enough. I would give this review 100 stars if I could. Keely has been incredible with me and the treatment I had as I have probably been one of her most unsure anxious patients ever! Her patience, understanding, quick response to my messages and even phone calls to go through the queries I had has been truly amazing! Nothing has been to much for Keely, she explains everything that is happening with so much detail sharing all the photo images to. I will be forever greatful for Keely taking the time out that she has to make me feel at ease and also working her magic on my teeth. You can sit back and relax watch TV with headphones on while Keely works on your teeth, its just an incredible atmosphere never came across a dentist like it. If you are considering invisalign, bonding or any cosmetic dental work then honestly Keely at the dental barns is the one! I would highly recommend everyone to this practice to Keely all day long. Keely is the most caring, friendly, professional dentist I have ever come across and the dental barns it self is a place of heaven, calming music, amazing scents fill the air and friendly faces from all the staff always so very welcoming! So if you are considering any work on your teeth then book in with Keely now! Thankyou to Keely, David and all the team, incredible people that are truly passionate at what they do!

If you are a nervous patient look no further than The Dental Barns in Lichfield. The surroundings are so peaceful and the while environment is so relaxing. The whole team has been wonderful throughout my treatment and Keely explains everything to me throughout health treatments and now through my Invisalign journey. I am so excited and cant wait to see my finished smile!

Many thanks to Keeley for your amazing service and support and for giving me back my smile, you have taken away my fear of dentists with your professional and understanding way. What you have achieved is amazing my veneers feel just like my own teeth. Thanks also to David for your kind words and welcoming way which always helps put me at ease being a super nervous patient! I would not hesitate to recommend your practice to anyone as for me it has been a wonderful experience, thanks to you both.

When i came to keely for the first time straight away they filled me with belief i could have a perfect smile again and they have certainly done that from start to finish the treatment i have received has been perfect from clear aligners to having composite bonding they have gave me the confidence to smile again. Highly recommend made to feel so welcome
