Invisalign and dental monitoring I have had a great experience so far with my dental care.
Invisalign and dental monitoring I have had a great experience so far with my dental care. Dr Thorne has been very thorough and attentive to all details. I was very grateful for her for being accommodating on the first few days of the treatment when she agreed to review my new retainers at very short notice and fixed my problem. The dental monitoring app is a life changer . Extremely easy to use and helped with direct communication for minor concerns and queries. Highly recommended

There were essential oils diffusing in the corner, and they offered me herbal tea before the cleaning.
Oh, let me tell you about this very fancy countryside dental trip I went on — honestly, it felt more like a boutique spa than a clinic. I walked in expecting a chair, a light, maybe a drill. Instead? Soft music, the smell of eucalyptus and lavender in the air, and someone handed me a hot towel before I even sat down. There were essential oils diffusing in the corner, and they offered me herbal tea before the cleaning. I almost forgot I was there to get poked in the gums. Keeley, David and the team were fantastic and I am looking forward to my dental journey there!! Best clinic, best aesthetics, best stress-relieving clinic!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This helped massively when I came in for the fitting as I was not worried or anxious for the needles again.
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.

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!

It’s was my first visit to a dentist in a while because I’m soo nervous because of bad experiences In the past, but Dave and Keeley put me at ease from the start.

Keeley is really nice and listened to my concerns. She explained everything about my treatment and took everything slowly for me. I can’t thank her and David enough for putting me at ease !

Unfortunately I haven’t had a good experience with this dental practise. I don’t ever leave bad reviews but I don’t want anyone else wasting their time & money the way that I have over the past couple of months. I went back to Keely to have my bonding fixed that had chipped & broken away after a year and a 9 months of having it done originally by her. She said she’d do it as a ‘gesture of good will’ however the correction work was rushed multiple times & the communication overall was very poor (failing to mention in the consultation I had to pay £125 for that she now uses a different material for her bonding) leaving me with a tooth that is worse than before & now saying that I will have to pay for any further corrections. Wouldn’t recommend

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.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience at The Dental Barns! I had composite bonding and whitening done by Dr Keely ahead of my wedding and absolutely loved the results. She did an amazing job and gave me a smile I felt so confident with on my big day. Dr Keely has a real eye for detail and took such care to make sure my teeth looked natural and suited my smile perfectly. Dr Keeley and everyone at The Dental Barns were incredibly welcoming, reassuring and made me feel at ease from start to finish. Having met Dr Keely at a previous practice, I already knew I was in good hands, but what her and the team have achieved at The Dental Barns is incredible. I couldn't be happier with the results and would highly recommend Dr Keely and The Dental Barns.
