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 [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Hassan Kia named as the dentist behind the clinic. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Hassan Kia: endodontics, periodontology and surgery, dental degree from Malmö University (2004). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published "Traditionell Tandvård" (traditional dentistry), "Profylaktisk Tandvård" (preventive care), "Laser Tandvård" (laser dentistry), dental implants. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Two English entry points exist - the /en/ path and a page whose slug is "hem-english" - and both render Swedish: the second is a near-empty template whose only English string is the placeholder "Add more content here...", with a Swedish h1 ("Tandläkare i Stockholm") and Swedish navigation. Not a genuine English translation. [s1] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [gmap4] | 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 All 34 URLs the site itself indexes were enumerated on 2026-09-07 and none is a price page; no SEK price or range appears on the home, treatment or clinic pages. Verified absence, not an unread page. [s1] | 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 [s1] | 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: 111 five-star, 4 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 30 one-star. The buckets sum to 145, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.145 reproduces the published 4.1. [gmapv] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed against the place-page header 2026-09-08; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmapv] [gmpb] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-04 (listing read 2026-09-26). [aston-dental-stockholm-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 2 of the 8 visible reviews, including the one-star. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One readable negative in the visible sample - a one-star describing a 500 SEK no-show charge after a short-notice reschedule. Single instance, not a repeated theme. Negative mass in the histogram is 30 of 145 = 20.7 per cent, below the threshold at which this catalogue withholds the criterion, but the absolute one-star count is worth the reader's attention and the browser cannot filter the list by star rating. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Dates spread across three years, varied reviewers and wording, no burst and no template repetition. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The Facebook page linked from the clinic's site posted on 29 August 2025. [aston-dental-stockholm-deepen-2] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Reco.se has a claimed page for the clinic at Oxtorgsgatan 4: 4.0 of 5 from 51 customer reviews (newest February 2025). [aston-dental-stockholm-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic's own imaging page states that all radiography taken at the practice is digital and describes its panoramic unit. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics "Invisalign osynlig tandställning" is a dedicated treatment page in the clinic's own navigation. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Hassan Kia's stated competence explicitly includes "kirurgi" (surgery). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Dedicated "Akut Tandvård Stockholm" page offering drop-in emergency appointments, with phone hours through the day. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients Both English entry points render Swedish; no international-patient content was found anywhere on the site's 34 indexed URLs. [s1] [s4] | 0/2 |
