Can't thank Keely enough for how amazing she was throughout my entire Invisalign process - She really provided so much support through the whole journey and put my mind at ease with any questions/worries I had!

I loved my end result and have received many compliments on my straight smile, and still do!
I started my invisalign journey with Dr Keeley back in 2020. As one can expect, any dental treatment can seem quite scary but Dr Keeley was extremely informative along the whole way, punctual with her appointments, and very down to earth as an individual in general. The following up appointments were always consistent, i was always well informed of the progress i had made. I loved my end result and have received many compliments on my straight smile, and still do! If you are considering any sort of dental work, I would highly recommend Dr Keeley! She's simply brilliant 👏

After many...many years, I finally plucked up the courage to see Keely for invisalign!
If you're looking for a dentist who can get you the perfect smile, then Keely at The Dental Barns is the person to see! I've suffered with bad teeth since I was kid, which caused various issues in terms of brushing hygiene and a lack of confidence in smiling. After many...many years, I finally plucked up the courage to see Keely for invisalign! My teeth have never looked better, and I have a smile that I can be confident in! Keely is not only a fantastic dentist, but she's also a wonderful person who makes you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. I can't recommend her highly enough!

Absolutely genius and feeling like you’ve actually spent a day relaxing, binge watching your favourite Netflix series in the chair is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else!
Highly recommended the dental barns for whatever your dental needs. Beautifully clean, modern and calming experience. From the moment you walk through the door the atmosphere is welcoming, warm and relaxing. The whole place looks and smells like a SPA and David, Keely and Lauren were all amazing throughout my journey and I am so happy with my results. Being able to watch TV whilst having treatment is a particular highlight of mine! Absolutely genius and feeling like you’ve actually spent a day relaxing, binge watching your favourite Netflix series in the chair is something I’ve never experienced anywhere else!

I had the most thorough clean I’ve ever experienced with Chloe at The Dental Barns!
I had the most thorough clean I’ve ever experienced with Chloe at The Dental Barns! She takes the time to explain everything she’s doing and offers great advice on how to properly care for your teeth and gums. The whole appointment was incredibly relaxing, thanks to the calming atmosphere and even a TV to keep you entertained during the treatment. The mouth rinse they use tastes amazing, too! Chloe was attentive to any concerns or discomfort I had, and she made sure to pass along any important notes to Keely. When I returned for a follow-up, she even checked on how things had progressed. I couldn’t be happier with the care I’ve received!

As soon as I met keely I instantly knew I was in the hands of someone who cared about me, understood my fear towards the dentist and made me feel so relaxed.
I made contact with St. Paul’s dental practice where Keely very quickly got in contact with me via WhatsApp. Keely had a very friendly, warm, welcoming approach which instantly made me feel comfortable. Keely provided me with a quote and invited me in to meet with her to discuss my treatment in more detail. As soon as I met keely I instantly knew I was in the hands of someone who cared about me, understood my fear towards the dentist and made me feel so relaxed. Keelys approach was most definitely what made me go ahead with my Invisalign journey and I haven’t looked back. I am absolutely over the moon with my results and I can’t wait to see my end result. If you are scared of the dentist, have been putting this off please don’t keely will really look after you and the process of Invisalign really is effective.

I also had teeth whitening and composite bonding completed which has made me feel more confident about my new smile.
My experience from start to finish was really professional, the process was explained fully from the beginning breaking every step down so that I knew what was happening. Keely and Kerry were both very friendly and even when i was concerned about a particular tooth not wanting to move a fast as expected they explained that it was normal and that more trays would be ordered for me. I also had teeth whitening and composite bonding completed which has made me feel more confident about my new smile. I would highly recommend Dr Keely to friends and family and will be returning for any future treatments!

Kerry was absolutely amazing with me, she went through everything in so much detail and answered any questions I had without hesitation.
