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
Summary
General practice on Stigbergstorget with a long-tenured named dentist team (up to 45 years' experience) covering implants, surgery, prosthetics and clear-aligner orthodontics.

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 [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed About-us page names Peter Kofron, Michaela Novotna and Gabriel Livian as leg. tandläkare (licensed dentists), plus two named dental hygienists. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Kofron: implants, surgery, prosthetics; Novotna: anxious patients, Invisalign/Clearcorrect orthodontics; Livian: periodontal and preventive care, former clinic director. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Intraoral scanner, clear aligners, digital X-ray, veneer prep listed on the homepage. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Site is Swedish-only; no /en/ path or English content found. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published The site publishes no sitemap; all thirteen internal page URLs reachable from the homepage were enumerated on 2026-09-07 (ten treatment pages plus om-oss, kontakt and the treatments index) and none is a price page. No SEK figure appears anywhere on the pages read. Verified absence. [s1] [s2] | 0/3 |

| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] | 0/2 |

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) Confirmed on the live place page 2026-09-08, and the base behind it is now known: the star histogram is 8 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star, summing to the 8 in the header. A 5.0 here is a very small and very old base, not a wall of recent praise. The English surface renders the listing as The Stigberg Dentists with Stigbergstandlakarna beneath. [gmapv] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read from the place-page header 2026-09-08 - the count the non-browser channel never returned and the worklist asked for. Eight reviews is the whole base, and the star histogram sums to it. [gmpb] | 0.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest review is 10 months old; the remaining seven run from two to eight years back. The visible sample is the entire base of 8, so this is a complete reading rather than a floor. [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 8 reviews carries an owner reply, and all 8 carry text - a verified negative on the whole base, not an unseen slice. [gmpb] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The entire base of 8 reviews was read and none is negative: the histogram holds no rating below five. Negative mass 0 of 8. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Eight five-star reviews accumulated across eight years, different reviewers, no shared phrasing and no burst. A small perfect average built slowly is not a manipulation signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence | 0/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ? | Other review platforms | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray "Digital Röntgen" (digital X-ray) listed among the clinic's own equipment. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign and Clearcorrect clear aligners; "Transparent Tandställning" on the homepage. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The homepage states the clinic provides both general and emergency dental care ("allmäntandvård och akuttandvård") and lists acute care among its stated fields. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ? | WhatsApp / LINE available | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken | 0/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Published hours Mon-Thu 07:30-17:00, Fri 07:30-14:30; closed Saturday and Sunday. No evening or weekend availability. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Sweden", "English speaking dentist Sweden", "dental implants Sweden", "emergency dentist Sweden", "Sweden dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Sweden AV-2 pass (country-qualified re-run, 2026-09-07): stigbergstandlakarna.se not present for "best dentist Gothenburg Sweden". [av1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Sweden AV pass: not present for "English speaking dentist Gothenburg". [av1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Sweden AV-2 pass: not present for "dental implants Gothenburg Sweden". [av1] | 0/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Sweden SERP off-target (namesake towns): the visibility pass for the emergency query returned mostly results for Gothenburg, Nebraska - only 2 of 7 links targeted the Swedish city, below the wave's 3-result usability threshold, so this key is left null rather than false for every Gothenburg card. | 0/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: Sweden dental clinic for expats The "dental clinic for expats" query was run only for each country's first research city (Stockholm) in the wave-5 AV pass; not run for Gothenburg. | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website Re-checked 2026-09-07: zero application/ld+json blocks, zero schema.org references and zero itemtype attributes in the served HTML. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Google indexing quality Not evaluated - SearXNG public instances returned HTTP 429 on every attempt; WebSearch reserved for canonical queries. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages The homepage navigation links ten separate treatment URLs under /behandlingar/ (bettskena, implantat, air-flow, intraoral-skanner, tandblekning, transparent-tandstallning, protetik, digital-rontgen, non-prep-fasader, panoramarontgen), each with its own "Läs mer" page. The research pass read the site as a single scrolling page; the internal link list shows otherwise. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; the unknown base behind the 5.0 turns out to be 8 reviews, recorded with the full histogram. Recency, owner replies (none on any of the 8), complaint reading and manipulation check completed on the complete base. |
| 2026-09-07 | Verification pass (D-sweden): rating 5.0 recovered from the live Google place preview under four query forms (review count still browser-only and queued); the site's internal link list turns dedicatedServicePages from a false negative into a verified positive and confirms the absence of a price page; emergency care and published opening hours recorded; the zero-structured-data negative re-confirmed against the served HTML. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic website (home, about-us pages) plus a live non-browser Google Maps search-preview fetch. The fetch returned a bare rating digit with no linked review count, judged too ambiguous to record without a browser visit; reputation fields left null. |
