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 and intravenous sedation, describing the intravenous option as leaving the patient "conscious but less aware"; no general anaesthesia or asleep-and-unaware sedation is documented.

Reputation & Reviews
19 / 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: 669 five-star, 31 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star, 4 one-star. The buckets sum to 708, matching the 708 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.921 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-05 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 1 month old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Corrected: the owner replies to reviews on the Google listing (replies dated 17 Sep 2026) [platinum-dental-accra-deepen] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated complaint theme appears in the visible sample. 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 links to the clinic's Facebook page [platinum-dental-accra-deepen-15] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence Not found by TripAdvisor's own search; no TripAdvisor link on the clinic's site [platinum-dental-accra-deepen-7] [s1] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Its Go Africa Online page is an unclaimed directory entry with no reviews. No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-05).

| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatment pages open with explanatory copy, not a bare list [platinum-dental-accra-deepen-6] | 1/1 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the Go Africa Online page cited before is an unclaimed directory entry with no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: the clinic has a Go Africa Online business page with its address, website and phone, so presence on other review platforms is now marked yes. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing, including its newest reviews, and its whole site (75 pages from its sitemaps, including an empty Fees page). Corrected: the owner does reply to reviews - replies dated 17 September 2026 appear under the newest reviews. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published; a Facebook link and a genuine building photo on the Google listing; treatment pages open with explanatory text rather than bare labels; distinct pages per treatment/category; the site's "Book Online" link leads only to a general enquiry form, not a booking widget; Saturday and weekday-evening hours; no TripAdvisor presence and absence from WhatClinic's Greater Accra catalogue. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 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 and intravenous sedation, describing the intravenous option as leaving the patient "conscious but less aware"; no general anaesthesia or asleep-and-unaware sedation is documented. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 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: platinum-dental.com (incl. embedded schema.org data), MDC Permanent Register 2022 (3 of 5 named dentists found by exact address match), HeFRA PDF, canonical visibility queries. Google Maps rating/reviews not collected — queued for a manual browser check; a search-snippet figure ("4.7 from 109 reviews") was seen but is explicitly not used as it is not a live Maps reading. |
