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
Multi-speciality dental center in the Alreem Centre, East Riffa (NHRA licence 150203-0041), founded and consultant-led by orthodontics specialist Dr. Leena Abdulmonem Al-Sheerawi.
The domain shown on Google Maps (signaturedc.com) and referenced in the registry's email no longer serves the clinic's content — it currently resolves to an unrelated third-party video-game page, so it is treated as not a working clinic website (hasWebsite: false) despite appearing as the "Website" link on the Maps profile. NHRA facility register specialties on file: General Dental Practice, Orthodontic, Prosthodontics (a register fact, not a clinic-published service list — see serviceListPublished).

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 / 31 reviews - re-read live 2026-09-03, unchanged from the 2026-09-02 reading. The March-2026 third-party copy that showed 4.80 / 32 for this listing is therefore the outlier, not this card. Re-read 2026-09-03 on the place page's Reviews tab: unchanged, and the published rating reproduces from the star histogram 29/0/0/0/2 (5*->1*). [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | 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 29/0/0/0/2 (5*->1*) sums to the published count. [sm] | 1/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency Newest visible review dated "8 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 29/0/0/0/2 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews 3 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 29/0/0/0/2 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No complaint appears among the eight visible reviews. The histogram carries 2 one-star reviews 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 29/0/0/0/2 (5*->1*), read 2026-09-03. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The distribution retains its 2 one-star reviews, the visible reviews span eight months to seven years with no burst, wording is individual and names three different dentists (Dr. Leena Al-Sheerawi, Dr. Yumna, Dr. Zainab Marhoon), and reviewer accounts run from 1 to 52 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 29/0/0/0/2 (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. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's own Facebook page in full on 2026-10-05: it gives the clinic's address and phone, describes its services and has posts up to March 2025; Facebook presence and service-list criteria updated, no prices found. |
| 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); the clinic's former domain (signaturedc.com) now resolves to unrelated third-party content, and there is no 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 24-04-2026 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 (4.7 / 31): 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; own-domain website found to be non-functional (parked/repurposed). |
