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.

Summary
Digitally-focused multi-speciality dental center in Isa Town (NHRA licence 150203-0138) marketing "One-Day Dentistry" (same-visit crowns and bridges) alongside orthodontics, implantology and pediatric care, with two registered specialists (orthodontics, endodontics).
One 2026 review (among 98) complains of being charged for a procedure without being informed beforehand; a single account is not treated as a corroborated recurring-complaints pattern. Doctor cross-check, re-run on 2026-09-02 against a local parse of the full 1,323-row NHRA September 2026 list: exactly two dentists are registered at this facility (Priya Raj Anila Kumari, orthodontics; Randhya Ravi, endodontics). The "Dr. Stanley" named in the clinic’s own testimonials and in Google reviews matches Stanley Jacob, licence 11007870, Specialist in Conservative Dentistry — but the register lists his facility as ALSADEQ DENTAL SPECIALIST CENTER in Manama, not Mazaya. That is consistent with a visiting or cross-branch arrangement the monthly snapshot does not capture, and it is not confirmed for this facility.

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.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed Rule A (2026-09-03): the clinic's own site has no team/doctors page; the only named dentists appear solely inside patient testimonials, which the clinic hosts but did not itself assert as a roster (cf. the pricesPublished note on this same card). The clinic's Facebook page returned only a login-gated shell with no content. Verified false — no penalty invented beyond what the criterion already carries. [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed NHRA registry confirms Priya Raj Anila Kumari (Orthodontics) and Randhya Ravi (Endodontics) as specialists at this facility. [reg2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Orthodontics, pedodontics, implantology, prosthodontics, periodontics, endodontics; one-day crowns/bridges. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [sm] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No figures published anywhere on the site; the phrase "affordable treatment packages" appears only inside a patient testimonial. [s1] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
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) Read live 2026-09-02. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 82/5/0/0/11 (5*->1*). [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged; the star histogram 82/5/0/0/11 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [sm] | 1.5/3 |

| ✗ | No recurring complaints Of 100 Google reviews, 11 are one- or two-star (11 %); three of the five lowest-rated (2024-2026) describe an unprofessional or careless attitude from the treating doctor (two name the same dentist) (read 2026-10-02). [mazaya-dental-center-isatown-r6rep] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains a substantial non-five-star block - 11 one-star and 5 four-star of 98 - the visible reviews span one month to two years with no burst at Maps month granularity, wording is individual and names different treatments and dentists, and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 51 reviews including a Local Guide with 1,005 photos. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 82/5/0/0/11 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.

| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Hospital Examiner or Trustpilot; the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |

Prices: mazayadc.com — checked /prices, /price-list, /pricing, /offers, /fees paths plus the homepage nav for a price link — no price list found; pricesPublished:false / opaque_prices stands. |
