I came across her orthodontic treatments via instagram and was incredibly nervous to take the leap and reach out, but she quickly made me feel so comfortable and relaxed.
Dr Keely is fantastic. I came across her orthodontic treatments via instagram and was incredibly nervous to take the leap and reach out, but she quickly made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. It’s almost 3 years later and I’m still so happy with my smile. Thank you, Keely!

All the added extras and the spa-like, relaxed environment make such a difference.
My experience at The Dental Barns was brilliant from start to finish and I am delighted with my results. All the added extras and the spa-like, relaxed environment make such a difference. Keely, David and the team go above and beyond to make patients feel at ease. Thankyou for my beautiful teeth!

Everyone was very kind caring and welcoming.
Well what can I say. The Dental Barns is state of the art. I was recommended by my wife as she is currently having treatment there and I wasn't disappointed. Everyone was very kind caring and welcoming. I cannot speak highly enough of these young professionals. It was the best move I've made. If you want a calming and relaxing place which doesn't resemble a typical dentist then this is the place to go. Kevin

Whatever treatment is administrated, whether it is aesthetic dental work, or follow on hygienist routines, all always goes well.
The Dental Barns are the best Dental surgery I have ever experienced. It is a calm relaxing environment. When your treatment journey begins, it just ends up with fantastic results. I’m sending before and after photographs, Keeley, David and their team are fabulous at what they do. Whatever treatment is administrated, whether it is aesthetic dental work, or follow on hygienist routines, all always goes well. All procedures are set to put the patient at ease. The surgery has the most up to date and modern technology treatments and methods. It is a little bit difficult to find photographs of one’s teeth, I have found after and before pictures. I could not be happier with my improved dental treatment. I experienced professional treatment from start to finish. The Dental Barns are highly recommended by me.

I have been impressed by every staff members kindness and their enjoyment of their work shines through.
The team at The Dental Barns are simply fantastic. From the moment you step inside, the environment has been meticulously designed to make it feel like a calming sanctuary. I particularly love touches like the big window in the waiting room showing natures changing seasons acting as a space for contemplation. I have been impressed by every staff members kindness and their enjoyment of their work shines through. Anna, David and Shannon have guided through my treatment steps to date without hurry and always whilst enjoying a coffee. What I notice most is that I often arrive rushing to appointments carrying my mental load but I somehow leave a little lighter and that’s due to the happy positive vibes and of course excellent dentistry from Keely
