The cost of restorative care depends on what needs to be stabilised, repaired or rebuilt. Treatment can range from small preventative or restorative interventions through to comprehensive rehabilitation involving several teeth and stages.

‍

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

£450 total, with a £225 deposit to secure your appointment. Your deposit is deducted from the total fee.

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.

‍

Your actual treatment fees are then set out separately according to what is clinically required. You can view our wider dental fees 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. 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.

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.

Our approach is preventative, minimally invasive and health-first, but that does not mean cosmetic and restorative goals are treated as separate journeys.

If health treatment is needed first, that may include hygiene or periodontal care, management of decay, replacing failing dentistry or conservative options such as Curodont™ Repair where clinically appropriate. Once the foundations are stable, the cosmetic or restorative plan can progress in the right sequence.

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.

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. We welcome patients travelling from overseas for Smile Design and cosmetic dentistry.

The Dental Barns is conveniently positioned for Birmingham Airport (BHX) and our Lichfield location is well connected to the UK road network. For international guests, we can offer a concierge-style service to help coordinate arrival, appointment planning and local accommodation where needed.

For larger cases, we also plan the clinical stages carefully around travel so that appointments are grouped as efficiently as possible while still allowing the time and follow-up the treatment requires. Contact us to discuss an international treatment journey.

Very private. For patients who place a particularly high value on discretion, continuity and certainty, we can create a highly personalised package around their visit.

This can include exclusive access arrangements at the practice and within the Blackbrook Barns courtyard, carefully coordinated appointment times and contingency planning using backup equipment wherever possible. Our Blackbrook Barns location is naturally well suited to this because it is away from a busy high street.

It is particularly suited to people with demanding schedules, public-facing roles or limited flexibility who need peace of mind that every part of their visit has been thought through in advance.

These arrangements are bespoke, so please contact The Dental Barns to discuss them privately.
