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.

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 24/2/0/0/0 (5*->1*). [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged; the star histogram 24/2/0/0/0 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [sm] | 1/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "11 months 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 24/2/0/0/0 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews 2 of the 8 visible reviews carry a published reply from the owner.

[sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The visible reviews span eleven months to nine years - the widest date spread of any listing in the country - the wording is individual and names several different dentists (Dr. Aqeel, Dr. Quazi), and six of the eight reviewers are Local Guides holding 11 to 547 reviews. Nothing here supports a manipulation claim; 26 reviews is nonetheless a thin base. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 24/2/0/0/0 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.
