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
Solo-led general dental practice near the Exhibition Avenue in Manama, founded in 2001 by Dr. Monther Numan and operating since under NHRA licence 200200-0009. The clinic publishes an English-language website, an emergency line, and accepts a range of international insurance plans (MedNet, GEMS, AXA, MetLife and others).
Google Maps carries two listings for this business under the same name and phone number — one with 300 reviews (4.8) and a second, apparently unclaimed duplicate with zero reviews. Because the duplicate could not be resolved to a single canonical place page through the Maps UI, no geo coordinate is reported here (honest null) even though the rating/review count below were read live from the reviewed listing.

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) As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 4.8 across 300 reviews — unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading, which is therefore corroborated. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 282/7/1/1/9 (5*->1*). [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 300 reviews. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged; the star histogram 282/7/1/1/9 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [sm] | 2.5/3 |

| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews 2 of the 8 visible reviews carry a published reply from the owner. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 282/7/1/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated issue class. One of the eight visible reviews is one-star: an edited review expressing disappointment with the service and with the quality of a denture. The histogram carries 9 one-star, 1 two-star and 1 three-star review that the relevance-ordered preview did not surface. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 282/7/1/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains 9 one-star, 1 two-star, 1 three-star and 7 four-star reviews of 300, the visible reviews span three weeks to eleven months, wording is individual, and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 12 reviews plus a Local Guide. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 282/7/1/1/9 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.
