Yes, but Denplan is not a way to join The Dental Barns directly from the outset.

‍

New patients first need to complete our assessment and treatment-planning process so we properly understand their dental health, existing dentistry and long-term needs. For patients who would like to do this in one comprehensive first visit, the Signature Assessment ✦ combines Smile Design, a comprehensive new-patient examination and the clinically appropriate diagnostics required for your case.

‍

If treatment is identified, the clinically necessary stages required to bring your mouth to a healthy, stable and maintainable position need to be completed before we move you into long-term maintenance care.

‍

Denplan is therefore available for suitable patients who have completed their initial assessment, followed the agreed treatment plan needed for stability and are ready to enter ongoing care with us. It is not available as a standalone subscription for someone who has not yet been assessed by The Dental Barns.

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 clear aligner treatment starts from £4,195, with current tiers of £4,195, £5,295 and £6,395 according to complexity.

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.

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. Clear aligner treatment starts from £4,195, with current tiers of £4,195, £5,295 and £6,395 depending on complexity.

More comprehensive transformations often combine several stages. A case involving alignment, whitening and multiple porcelain restorations can move into the £10,000–£20,000+ range, with especially complex cases potentially exceeding this depending on the number of teeth and treatment required.

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.

Yes. You do not need to be planning cosmetic treatment to become a long-term patient at The Dental Barns.

‍

For new patients who want us to look after their dental health long term, the Signature Assessment ✦ is the appropriate first appointment. It gives us the time and diagnostic information needed to understand your teeth, gums, bite, existing dentistry, risks and long-term maintenance needs properly rather than simply carrying out a quick check-up.

‍

If your mouth is already healthy and stable, your plan may be very simple and focused mainly on prevention and ongoing maintenance. If we identify active disease, failing dentistry or another problem that needs attention, we will explain the treatment required to bring your mouth to a stable, maintainable position.

‍

Continued Care is offered once that initial assessment has been completed and any clinically necessary treatment needed for long-term stability has been addressed. This means our ongoing care is built around a mouth we understand properly and a plan that has been followed, rather than accepting new patients directly into routine recall appointments without first establishing their dental health.

Yes. the Signature Assessment ✦ gives Dr Keely time to assess your dental health, understand your concerns and discuss recommendations you may already have received. It combines Smile Design, a comprehensive examination and clinically appropriate diagnostics.

We discuss your itemised treatment plan and costs on the day. Afterwards, you receive a personalised written report explaining the findings, reasoning and proposed stages of care.

The total fee is £450, with a £225 deposit deducted from that total. This pays for your assessment, plan and report, whether or not you choose to have treatment with The Dental Barns. You are welcome to take time to consider the advice or share your report with another dentist, who may need to carry out their own assessment.

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.

Yes. You do not need to choose between aligners, bonding, veneers, whitening or restorative care before you arrive.

Your first step is the Signature Assessment ✦ with Dr Keely. Your 90-minute appointment combines Smile Design, a comprehensive examination and clinically appropriate diagnostics.

If you would prefer to start with a conversation, a standalone Smile Design appointment gives you time to meet Dr Keely and the team, explore your options and decide on your next step.

We release a limited number of Smile Design appointments from time to time. Booking links are shared exclusively with our VIP Waitlist.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
