Dentist Near Me in Lichfield: Your Questions Answered

Looking for a private or cosmetic dentist near Lichfield? Here are some of the questions patients commonly ask about our location, smile makeovers, treatment options, costs and what makes The Dental Barns different.

Investment
How much does general dentistry cost at The Dental Barns?

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.

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. 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.

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
Do you offer second opinions on dental treatment?

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.

What is your approach to general dentistry?

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

‍

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.

We discuss your itemised treatment plan and costs on the day. A personalised written report follows afterwards. Any treatment is priced separately, with no obligation to proceed.

‍

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.

‍

Can I book a Smile Design appointment if I do not know which treatment I need?

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.

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
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
Do you see international patients?

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.

How private can treatment at The Dental Barns be?

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.

What makes The Dental Barns different from a typical dentist near me?

The Dental Barns was designed to feel very different from a conventional dental practice.

We combine a peaceful rural setting, longer appointment times, advanced digital technology and highly personalised care with a strong focus on natural cosmetic results. You can explore more about The Dental Barns and our philosophy, see what to expect on your first visit, or learn about our Blackbrook Barns setting.

Patients can relax with personalised entertainment during treatment, see their dental information clearly on large 4K displays and have time to understand each decision rather than feeling rushed through an appointment.

Is there free parking at your Lichfield dental practice?

Yes. There is free private parking on site at Blackbrook Barns, close to the practice entrance.

Our location page includes more information about visiting The Dental Barns. For many patients, avoiding city-centre traffic and parking is part of what makes the experience feel more relaxed from the moment they arrive.

Do I need to travel to Birmingham or London for high-end cosmetic dentistry?

No. Patients in Lichfield can access advanced cosmetic dentistry much closer to home.

At The Dental Barns, we combine digital smile planning, 3D scanning, detailed photography, premium materials and long appointment times in a boutique setting at Blackbrook Barns.

Our aim is to offer the level of detail and experience people often associate with destination cosmetic clinics, without needing to travel into a major city.

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.

Why we chose Blackbrook

We fell in love with our Lichfield location as It perfectly aligns what we set out to achieve at The Dental Barns. Unlike a bustling high-street dentist, our calm and beautiful setting helps you feel at ease from the moment you arrive.

Five senses

We designed The Dental Barns around all five senses. What you see, hear, smell, touch and taste all play a part in helping you feel safe, settled and cared for.

Understanding your care

We’ve chosen technology that helps take the mystery out of dentistry. Seeing what we see, with clear explanations along the way, can make an unfamiliar situation feel more understandable and less daunting.

Time for people

People should have time for people. We use automation to ease the work behind the scenes, giving our team more time to listen, reassure and look after you.

Thoughtfully equipped

Working in dental technology showed me what the right tools can make possible. We’ve brought that experience into The Dental Barns, equipping our clinicians to assess thoroughly and plan treatment carefully.

Choosing EMS

We wanted routine hygiene to reflect the same thought and care as every other part of The Dental Barns. After exploring the options, we chose EMS Guided Biofilm Therapy as our standard.

Seeing the difference

I wanted patients to see the difference for themselves. Before-and-after photographs help show what’s been cleaned, where to focus at home and how to build on the care received here.

Informed choices

For me, good technology should lead to a clearer conversation. It helps us explain the findings and options, so patients can make informed decisions about what matters to them.

Somewhere to start

Smile Design gives you somewhere to start when you’re curious about changing your smile but unsure of the options. It’s time to meet the team, ask questions and talk things through.
