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
Orthodontic and dental center in Oud Al Touba, Al Ain, operating since 1995. Site describes orthodontics, general dentistry and veneers among its services.
Checked 5 canonical AI-visibility queries for Al Ain (2026-09-02): not visible in any. Browser spot-check 2026-09-03: the place page gives the street address as "Unit 203, Ali Bin Abi Talib St, Central District, Hai Al Humaira" with the plus code 6QG5+VQ Al Ain, where this card records "Oud Al Touba, Town Center". Both describe the same coordinates in central Al Ain; the discrepancy is disclosed rather than silently overwritten, since the card's wording follows the clinic's own site. Note also a distinct nearby practice with a confusable name, "New Al Salam Centre for Orthodontics & Dental - L.L.C -S.P.C" (4.9 / 944), which is not this clinic.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

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: 4.7 across 314 reviews - 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 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*). [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | 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 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "3 months ago". "3 months ago" sits exactly on the boundary of the top bucket, so the lower bucket is recorded rather than the better one. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | 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 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries 23 one-star and 1 two-star review - 7.3% of 314 - that the relevance-ordered preview did not surface, which is a larger negative tail than the visible sample suggests. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [gmaps-2026-09-02] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains 23 one-star, 1 two-star, 1 three-star and 5 four-star reviews of 314, the visible reviews span three months to one year, wording is individual and names different dentists (Dr. Suresh, Dr. Housin), and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 27 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 284/5/1/1/23 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.

| 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. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_year. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
