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.
| ✗ | Has a working website [sm] | 0/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Multiple reviews name Dr. Hadeer and Dr. Amira/Ameera as treating dentists. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Service list published Rule A, Google Business profile read in a browser 2026-09-03: the clinic-managed Maps place page renders the tab strip Overview / Reviews / About only - there is no Services tab and no Products tab - and its Overview pane carries no 'From the business' description and no treatment list, only the Maps category 'Dental clinic'. Maps does render a Services affordance when a profile publishes one (a profile opened in the same session, Gentle Dental Abu Dhabi, showed exactly that), so the absence here is a read rather than a gap. The clinic's own Google Business profile therefore publishes no service list: verified false. Recorded rather than hidden: the About tab itself would not open - the same limitation that blocked the review Sort menu - but the Maps About tab carries accessibility/amenity attributes, not treatment lists, so it is not where a service list would live. The profile publishes no website either ('Add website' is offered), so the Google Business profile is this clinic's only checkable own channel. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | English website version | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [sm] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
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 place page, re-read in a browser: 4.9 / 173 reviews - re-read live 2026-09-03, unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 165/4/1/0/3 (5*->1*). [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps place page, re-read in a browser; unchanged. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged; the star histogram 165/4/1/0/3 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [sm] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "4 weeks ago". Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 165/4/1/0/3 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews 8 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 165/4/1/0/3 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries 3 one-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 165/4/1/0/3 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains 3 one-star, 1 three-star and 4 four-star reviews of 173, the visible reviews span four weeks to one year, wording is individual and names the treating dentist alongside others, and six of the eight reviewers are Local Guides holding 14 to 34 reviews. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 165/4/1/0/3 (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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites re-read on 2026-10-02: no profile on the review platforms checked. |
| 2026-09-03 | Rule A via the Google Business profile (browser, 2026-09-03): serviceListPublished null -> false. The clinic-managed Maps place page was opened and read; it renders no Services or Products tab and no 'From the business' description, only the category 'Dental clinic'. This closes the "GBP not checkable without a browser" caveat left by the 2026-09-03 policy pass, which had left the value null for exactly that reason. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. Rating and review count reproduced unchanged from the histogram. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — register-sourced only (reg1); no website or Facebook to check; the Google Business profile carries no service-list source of its own. Rule E: NHRA facility register snapshot date (2026-02-04) prepended to the licence text so the 10-06-2026 expiry doesn't read as an unexplained lapse. |
| 2026-09-03 | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (4.9 / 173): unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading, which is therefore corroborated. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Bahrain Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via Google Maps and the NHRA Open Data facility and dental-practitioner registers. |
