Cosmetic Dentistry, Designed Around You

The best cosmetic result is rarely about choosing a treatment from a menu. It starts with understanding what you would like to change, assessing your teeth and bite, and then selecting the most conservative combination capable of achieving the result. For some patients that means Invisalign® alone. For others it may be whitening and composite bonding, porcelain veneers, or a carefully sequenced smile makeover.

Exceptional

We combine advanced digital scanning, detailed photography, clinician-led planning and premium materials with the time required to do cosmetic dentistry properly. From Invisalign® tooth movement to free-hand composite bonding and handcrafted e.max® veneers, every stage is planned for precision, predictability and a refined finish.

Bespoke

There is no Dental Barns smile template. Tooth shape, proportion, translucency, lip movement, facial features, bite and your own preferences all influence the design. We guide you honestly on what will suit you best, while keeping you closely involved in the decisions that shape the final result.

Wellness

Cosmetic treatment can involve long or detailed appointments, so the experience matters too. Our peaceful Blackbrook Barns setting, generous appointment times, lounge-style welcome and personalised entertainment are designed to make even comprehensive smile treatment feel calm, private and considered.

Unsure where to start?

Not sure whether you need composite bonding, Invisalign® or porcelain veneers? You do not need to decide before you visit.

Our Smile Consultation is designed to understand what you would like to change, assess your smile and explain the options clearly. In many cases, the best result comes from using less treatment than you expected — or combining stages in the right order so that each one can be as conservative as possible.

You will leave with clarity, a recommended direction and the next steps. Consultation appointments are released in limited blocks, with our VIP list receiving early access.

1. Consultation

Start With What You Want to Change

Your journey begins with a Smile Consultation. We take time to understand what you like about your smile, what you would change and how natural or transformative you want the result to feel. You do not need to know whether you need Invisalign®, composite bonding or veneers before you come in — that is what the consultation is designed to help establish.

This boutique dental practice in Blackbrook serves patients from Sutton Coldfield and Lichfield, offering expert guidance on personalized smile transformations including Invisalign, composite bonding, and porcelain veneers in a relaxed, non-clinical environment.
2. Design

Plan the Smile, Not Just the Teeth

Using digital scanning, photography and Smile Design technology, we assess alignment, proportions, tooth shape, colour and how your smile relates to your face. This allows us to explore different possibilities before committing to treatment and to identify where subtle changes can make the biggest difference.

3. Choose

The Right Treatment — or Combination

Once the goal is clear, we recommend the most appropriate route. Invisalign® can improve tooth position and bite, composite bonding can refine shape and edges with minimal intervention, and e.max® porcelain veneers can provide a durable, highly aesthetic solution where greater restorative change is appropriate. Many of our best smile makeovers combine treatments rather than relying on one technique alone.

4. Treatment

Delivered With Precision

Your treatment is carried out with generous clinical time and close attention to detail. Where alignment is needed, Invisalign® may come first. Whitening can establish the final tooth shade before bonding or porcelain work. Composite is shaped free-hand and veneers are carefully trialled and refined so the finished smile feels balanced rather than simply bright or uniform.

5. Aftercare

Protect the Result

Cosmetic dentistry should be designed to last. Once treatment is complete, we review the result carefully and give you personalised advice around retainers, hygiene, polishing, maintenance and protection from grinding where needed. The goal is not just a beautiful finish on day one, but a smile that remains healthy, stable and natural-looking long term.

Restorative & Cosmetic Expert
Platinum Invisalign® Provider
National Award Finalist

Dr Keely Thorne is Principal Dentist and Co-Founder of The Dental Barns, with a particular focus on natural smile makeovers, Invisalign®, composite bonding and minimally invasive cosmetic dentistry.

Her approach is face-driven rather than treatment-driven. She considers proportion, translucency, tooth position, lip movement, bite and the character of the existing smile before recommending how — or whether — it should be changed.

That means Invisalign® may be used to improve alignment before any restorative work, composite bonding may be chosen where a conservative refinement is enough, and e.max® porcelain veneers are reserved for cases where their strength, stability and aesthetics genuinely add value.

Cosmetic Dentist Lichfield: Your Questions Answered

Considering Invisalign®, composite bonding, porcelain veneers or a complete smile makeover? Here are the questions patients most often ask when choosing a cosmetic dentist in Lichfield.

Investment
How much does a cosmetic dentist cost in Lichfield?

The cost depends on what you would like to change and which treatment is appropriate.

At The Dental Barns, composite bonding starts from £395 per tooth, genuine e.max® porcelain veneers start from £995 per tooth and Invisalign® starts from £3,995. More comprehensive smile makeovers can combine several stages and therefore vary considerably in overall cost.

We provide a detailed personalised treatment plan before you decide to proceed, including the recommended sequence and complete fees. You can also view our wider dental pricing online.

What does a typical smile makeover cost at The Dental Barns?

There is no single smile makeover price because every case is designed around the individual.

As a guide, some patients begin with Enlighten® Whitening from £795. Composite bonding starts from £395 per tooth, so a six-tooth case would be from around £2,370 before any additional treatment. Genuine e.max® porcelain veneers start from £995 per tooth. Invisalign® treatment starts from £3,995.

More comprehensive transformations often combine several stages. For example, a case involving Invisalign®, whitening and multiple porcelain veneers can move into the £10,000–£15,000+ range depending on the number of teeth and complexity involved.

You can see our wider dental pricing in Lichfield for more guide fees. The important part is that you receive a complete, transparent plan before treatment begins, so you understand the full investment rather than being surprised by additional stages later.

Do you offer finance for cosmetic dentistry in Lichfield?

Yes. The Dental Barns offers finance options, including up to 12 months interest-free finance, subject to eligibility.

We provide your full personalised treatment plan and costs first, so you know the total investment before deciding whether a finance option is right for you. You can also review our dental pricing and guide fees online.

Treatment procedure & process
What does a cosmetic dentist do?

A cosmetic dentist focuses on improving the appearance of the smile while protecting dental health and function.

That can involve changing tooth position with Invisalign®, refining shape with composite bonding, replacing or enhancing the visible tooth surface with e.max® porcelain veneers, whitening teeth, or combining several treatments through Smile Design.

At The Dental Barns, cosmetic dentistry is planned around the whole face and the health of the mouth rather than simply making teeth straighter or whiter.

Can I book a consultation if I do not know which cosmetic treatment I need?

Absolutely. You do not need to decide between Invisalign®, bonding, whitening or veneers before you come in.

Your Smile Consultation is designed to understand what you would like to improve, assess your smile and explain the different options clearly. Our First Visit guide explains what to expect when you come to The Dental Barns. You can then make an informed decision without being pushed toward a particular treatment.

Who will carry out my cosmetic dental treatment?

Smile makeover treatment at The Dental Barns is led by Dr Keely Thorne, Principal Dentist and Co-Founder of the practice.

Her approach focuses on natural, face-driven results and minimally invasive dentistry wherever possible. The same attention to detail runs from your initial planning through treatment and follow-up.

What treatments can be included in a smile makeover?

A smile makeover is not one specific treatment.

Depending on your teeth, bite and goals, your plan might include Invisalign®, Enlighten® Whitening, composite bonding, porcelain veneers or restorative dentistry. Some patients need only one treatment, while others benefit from a carefully sequenced combination.

Our Smile Design service brings those options together so we can recommend the most conservative route capable of achieving a predictable result.

Can I see what my new smile could look like before treatment?

Yes. Predictability is an important part of our Smile Design approach.

Depending on the treatment, we use digital scanning, photography and smile design technology to help you understand the proposed result before treatment begins. For porcelain veneer cases, additional trial stages may also be used before the final result is completed.

Results & Appearance
What is the most natural-looking cosmetic dental treatment?

There is no single treatment that always looks the most natural. Natural appearance comes from choosing the right treatment and designing it well.

Sometimes the most natural result is simply straightening the existing teeth with Invisalign® and whitening them. Small shape changes can often be achieved beautifully with composite bonding. Where porcelain is appropriate, genuine e.max® veneers can reproduce enamel translucency and texture extremely well.

Our preference is always to preserve as much of your own healthy smile as possible and enhance it rather than replace its character.

Can I choose my own smile style?

Absolutely. Your input is central to the Smile Design process.

You can show us smiles you like, discuss tooth shape, brightness, length and character, and tell us what you definitely do not want. We will then guide you on how those ideas are likely to work with your own facial features, lip line, bite and existing teeth.

Some styles that look beautiful on one person can feel unnatural on another, so we will always be honest about what we think will suit you best. The final design is collaborative — your preferences combined with our clinical and aesthetic guidance.

Do you have a particular style for smile makeovers?

Yes — our signature style is natural.

We aim for smiles that look healthy, balanced and beautifully suited to the person rather than obviously 'done'. That philosophy sits at the heart of our Smile Design approach and treatments such as composite bonding and e.max® porcelain veneers.

We pay close attention to proportion, translucency, texture, tooth shape, lip movement and the relationship between the smile and the face. The goal is not to make everyone look the same. It is to create a result that feels like the best version of your own smile.

Location & Ease
Is The Dental Barns a cosmetic dentist in Lichfield?

Yes. Cosmetic and restorative smile transformations are a major focus at The Dental Barns, centred around our bespoke Smile Design service.

We offer treatments including Invisalign®, composite bonding, Enlighten® Whitening and e.max® porcelain veneers, as well as general dentistry where needed to make sure the foundations are healthy first.

Every smile is planned individually rather than using a standardised makeover approach.
