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.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.

Reputation & Reviews
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: 1 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 2, matching the 2 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 3.500 reproduces the published 3.5. [gmp1] | 1/6 |
| ✗ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-05 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 0/3 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Corrected 2026-10-02: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-10-02 | Facebook presence checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's own page is active (latest post 2026-10-01). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints and no suspicious review patterns now unverified: 2 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 2 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (no website is published there). Recorded: no prices of any kind on the Google profile, so all seven price fields are false rather than unproven; the newest of the listing's two reviews dates to 2022, so review recency is older; Saturday and Sunday opening hours; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Most other fields remain unverified: the clinic's only public channel is its Google listing, which does not name staff, list services or equipment, or offer online booking; its two roadside-signboard photos do not clearly show the premises interior or team. |
| 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: HeFRA facility-licence PDF plus a third-party maps listing for street-level address corroboration. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located (MDC register has no "Mayak" entry) — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null. |
