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.
- ? General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — Not verified

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 Reviews repeatedly name "Dr. Ammar" as treating dentist, including for paediatric patients. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed NHRA register confirms Ammar Adnan Almasri and Ekbal Ismail Issa Alam as Pediatric Dentistry specialists and Rafika Hawary Amari as Prosthodontics specialist. [reg2] | 2/2 |
| ? | 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: 5.0 across 252 reviews (2026-09-02 reading was 5.0 / 251). The displayed 5.0 is a rounding of the true mean: the star histogram on the same page is 250 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star, 0 one-star, i.e. 4.98. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 250/1/0/1/0 (5*->1*). [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25; previously 252 [lazord-dental-center-muharraq-gbp-2026-09-25] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "2 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 250/1/0/1/0 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 12 reviews read from the last 24 months (2025-12-15 to 2026-10-01) carries an owner reply on the Google listing (read 2026-10-02). [lazord-dental-center-muharraq-r6rep] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries a single two-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 250/1/0/1/0 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Re-confirmed on 2026-09-03 with the same reasoning recorded earlier the same day in the browser spot-check: the 5.0 is a rounding of 250 five-star, 1 four-star and 1 two-star review (mean 4.98), not a wall; the visible reviews span two to eleven months; wording is individual and names different dentists (Dr. Ammar, an unnamed pediatric dentist); and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 130 reviews including two Local Guides. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session - four click strategies were tried), star histogram 250/1/0/1/0 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (12 reviews read): owner replies to reviews no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites re-read on 2026-10-02: no profile on the review platforms checked. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; review count 291 (was 252) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25. |
| 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 — was sourced only to the NHRA register (reg1), not the clinic itself; no website or Facebook/Instagram exists to check, and the Google Business profile carries no service-list source of its own. Register text moved to the clinic note as a disclosed fact. |
| 2026-09-03 | Google review count re-read live in a browser: 251 -> 252 (rating 5.0 unchanged). suspiciousReviewPatterns examined on the place page for the first time and set to false: the star histogram shows one four-star and one two-star review among 252, the eight reviews shown span 2 to 11 months with no burst, wording is individual rather than templated, and two established Local Guide accounts are among the reviewers. |
| 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. |
