General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation
Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented The sedation page publishes nitrous oxide only and says the practice prefers it to oral and intravenous sedation; local anaesthesia is delivered with The Wand. The patient stays awake. [s1]

Information Transparency
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon, Endodontist, Periodontist named per dentist. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos The page the clinic itself calls its gallery is a "Before & After Gallery" and it renders, in a real browser, as a heading with no images beneath it at all. The only other candidate, the technology page, carries vendor stock photography (its images are captioned "dentist explaining computer", "man in ct scanner", "soft tissue laser") supplied with the Einstein Dental website template, and the site's own footer disclaimer states that some images are of models. No photograph of these premises is published. Read 2026-09-07. [y1a] [y1b] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
18 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 162 five-star, 26 four-star, 8 three-star, 2 two-star, 9 one-star. The buckets sum to 207, matching the 207 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.594 reproduces the published 4.6. [gmp1] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-05 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-24 (listing read 2026-09-25). [bethel-dental-accra-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replied to all three visible reviews, including the critical one - though that reply was posted yesterday, months after the review. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Not a repeated pattern in the visible sample, but one 9-month-old review makes a serious clinical allegation of over-diagnosis: two teeth she says needed only simple fillings were diagnosed as needing root canals, and she reports three further opinions afterwards. Single instance, so the criterion stays false; recorded because of its severity. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Own site footer links to the clinic's Facebook page [bethel-dental-accra-deepen-9] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence Not found by TripAdvisor's own search; no TripAdvisor link on the clinic's site [bethel-dental-accra-deepen-6] [bethel-dental-accra-deepen-3] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms GhanaYello: verified business page "Bethel Dental" at No. 13 Nortsoo Street, North Dzorwulu, Accra; no reviews there yet. [bethel-dental-accra-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
15 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Clinic’s own technology page: every treatment room has its own X-ray system; a dedicated digital X-ray service page is published as well. [s1] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Re-checked on the clinic's own technology page 2026-09-07, which the earlier manual browser check could not open: "Cone Beam CT Scanner: Unmatched diagnostic precision" in the summary list, and a full section describing its use for implant planning. The existing true stands on the clinic's own publication. [s5] [y1b] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign and orthodontics listed. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Oral Maxillofacial Surgeon on staff; full mouth reconstruction listed. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Pediatric dentistry section and a children’s play area described on the clinic’s own homepage. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients Clinic’s own homepage states it works with international as well as local insurance providers. [s1] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
2.5 / 10

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked 2026-10-02: verified GhanaYello page. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole site (all 71 pages in its sitemap and menu) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant or X-ray prices published anywhere on the site; the clinic states in a reply on its Google listing that it charges no consultation fee (specialist consultations are charged); a Facebook link in the footer; no TripAdvisor presence; no WhatsApp or Line contact; only general enquiry forms, not a booking widget with service or time selection; individual service pages explain procedures rather than just naming them; Saturday opening hours; around 22 dedicated per-procedure service pages. Still unverified: presence on other review platforms, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 3 dentists confirmed via the clinic's own dentists roster page https://www.betheldentalghana.com/doctors/ (not previously fetched -- the previously-fetched /about-the-staff/ page lists only hygienists/assistants/management, a separate roster); sources added. |
| 2026-09-09 | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The sedation page publishes nitrous oxide only and says the practice prefers it to oral and intravenous sedation; local anaesthesia is delivered with The Wand. The patient stays awake. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-09-07 | Close-out, 2026-09-07: the two betheldentalghana.com pages that blocked were read — the gallery settles realClinicPhotos with a negative and the technology page re-confirms the cone-beam CT on the clinic's own publication. |
| 2026-09-05 | Checked by hand in a browser: Google Maps place page read live for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading and pin coordinates; the clinic Facebook page opened for reputation.onFacebook; the five canonical visibility queries re-run as browser SERPs. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection: betheldentalghana.com, MDC Permanent Register 2022, HeFRA Facilities-with-Valid-Licence PDF, five canonical visibility queries. Google Maps rating/geo not collected (Chrome MCP forbidden in this research pass) —. |
