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.

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 Corrected by the verifier. The staff page names the clinic director and dentist (Mansour), a licensed hygienist (Ziba) and three dental nurses (Sanaz, Ronja, Frida), each with a personal introduction. First names only, as the clinic publishes them. The research pass read only the homepage. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Mansour is published as clinic director and dentist, licensed since January 1999 and running his own practice since 2003, with long experience in general dentistry and minor surgical procedures; Ziba is published as a licensed dental hygienist trained at Karolinska Institutet, working with examinations, caries and periodontal disease and with anxious patients. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's own Google Business Profile carries an owner-published photo set showing the waiting room and the practice entrance. Judged visually on 2026-09-08. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Tartar removal, polishing, Airflow treatment and Zoom teeth whitening described with detail. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | English website version | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [gmap14] | 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 clinic's own price page was read on 2026-09-07 and publishes no treatment price at all: it carries a student discount (20 per cent on examinations, 10 per cent on other treatments except implants and aesthetic work) and links to the national dental-subsidy information. The homepage's single standing price (UV-lamp whitening 5 900 SEK) is below the wave's three-service threshold, and the new-patient examination offer (690 SEK against a regular 2 240 SEK, promo code required) is a time-limited promotion. [s1] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The only examination price the clinic publishes is the time-limited promotional offer, which does not count under the wave's rule; the price page carries no examination fee. [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging 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. Star histogram: 34 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 3 one-star; the buckets sum to 37, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.676 reproduces the published 4.7.

| ✓ | Review recency The newest visible review is 2 months old. Sample: the 8 reviews the place page's Reviews tab renders in Google's own Most-relevant order; the Newest sort does not open to the extension. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 2 of the 8 visible reviews. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No negative review surfaced in the visible sample and the histogram's negative mass is 3 of 37 = 8.1 per cent. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |

| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; the missing review count recorded as 37 with the full histogram, recency, owner replies, complaint reading, manipulation check and owner photos completed. |
| 2026-09-07 | Verification pass (D-sweden): the staff page was read and names the clinic director and dentist plus a licensed hygienist and three nurses, turning two false negatives into verified positives; the clinic's own price page was read and confirms the research pass's verdict, which is now sourced to the price page itself rather than inferred from the homepage; emergency care, implants, clear aligners, minor surgery and thirteen per-treatment pages recorded from the clinic's own navigation; rating 4.7 read from the live Google place preview. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic homepage plus a live non-browser Google Maps search-preview fetch. Distinguished the clinic's one standing treatment price (teeth whitening) from its time-limited new-patient exam promotion per methodology rule (Б); reputation fields left null pending a browser place-page visit. |
