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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented The clinic's page for anxious patients offers nitrous-oxide (lustgas) sedation; the patient stays awake, so it does not meet the general-anaesthesia or deep-sedation bar. [s3]
Summary
Large, long-established private clinic in central Stockholm publishing a very large named-staff roster, multi-language reception, nitrous-oxide sedation for anxious patients, a per-procedure-code price table on its Swedish price page, and opening hours seven days a week including drop-in slots.

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 Staff page names roughly two dozen "Licensed Dentist" / "Licensed Specialist Dentist" team members plus dental nurses; a representative subset is listed under licensing.doctors below. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed At least two dentists are named as "Licensed Specialist Dentist Periodontist". [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's own Google Business Profile carries an owner-published photo set showing the waiting room of these premises - not stock imagery. Judged visually on 2026-09-08. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Dedicated pages: examination, fillings, root canal, tartar/scaling, mouth splints, gum shields, dental implants, teeth whitening, airflow, orthodontics, emergency care, anxiety/sedation care. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [gmap2] | 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 Swedish price page publishes a standing per-procedure-code table with dozens of line items (codes 101-835). The English "Prices" page that the research pass read explains only the national subsidy scheme; the Swedish page is where the clinic's own fees are published. [s5] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hygienist selection on the price page: AirFlow 649 kr; periodontal treatment codes 341 (760 kr) and 342 (1 430 kr). [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Codes 701-706, 975-2 210 kr. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Code 800, permanent tooth-supported crown, 9 300 kr (code 801, several in the same jaw, 7 870 kr). [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The published table runs 101-835 and carries no implant-surgery or implant-supported-crown code; the page itself states that implants fall outside basic dental care. Verified absence in a price list that is otherwise complete. [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Code 101 basic examination by a dentist 1 100 kr; code 103 supplementary or emergency examination 735 kr. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Code 121 single-tooth radiograph 95 kr; code 123 full-mouth status 1 020 kr; code 124 panoramic 760 kr. [s5] | 2/2 |
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: 603 five-star, 49 four-star, 11 three-star, 7 two-star, 166 one-star. The buckets sum to 836, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.096 reproduces the published 4.1. The distribution is U-shaped - a large five-star mass against a large one-star mass with little between. [gmapv] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read from the place-page header 2026-09-08 - the figure the automated read never returned and the open question asked for. The star histogram sums to the same number. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest visible review is 3 months old. Sample: the 8 reviews the place page's Reviews tab renders in Google's own Most-relevant order; the Newest sort could not be applied, so no fresher slice is available. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 7 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply, 4 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-10-03 (to a review of 2025-05-20). [city-dental-stockholm-deepen-2] [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints 3 of the five lowest-rated Google reviews read concern cancelled and rescheduled appointments (hygienist visits cancelled within months, an extraction booked three times without treatment, appointments changed repeatedly) (dated 2018-01, 2024-08 and 2025-02; 1–2★ ratings are 175 of 864, 20.3 %); 1–2★ ratings are 175 of 864 (20.3 %). [city-dental-stockholm-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The U-shaped histogram is a polarised service profile rather than a manipulation signature: reviewer accounts differ, wording differs and dates run across several years with no burst. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page (facebook.com/CityDentalStockholm) and Instagram profile from its site footer. [s5] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Reco.se has a page for the clinic at Drottninggatan 27: 3.1 of 5 from 98 customer reviews (newest June 2026). [city-dental-stockholm-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2018-01-13 to 2026-09-29; 4.1 from 864): recurring complaints true. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: a Reco.se review page found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 166 of 836 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification 2026-09-10: the remaining dentist confirmed on the clinic's own English-language staff page (a page the earlier read did not fetch). |
| 2026-09-09 | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The clinic's page for anxious patients offers nitrous-oxide (lustgas) sedation; the patient stays awake, so it does not meet the general-anaesthesia or deep-sedation bar. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; the missing review count recorded as 836, star histogram read and reconciled with the header, recency, owner replies, complaint reading and manipulation check completed from an 8-review relevance-ordered sample, owner photos judged. |
| 2026-09-07 | Verification pass (the verification pass): the clinic's Swedish price page was found and read - a standing per-procedure-code table - which reverses pricesPublished and five of six sub-fields from false to true (implants verified absent from the list); rating 4.1 recovered from the live Google place preview after four query forms; opening hours (seven days a week) and the clinic's own Facebook page recorded. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic website (home, prices, staff pages) plus an automated live Google Maps search-preview fetch for address/phone/geo/website. No rating/review-count block was returned by the automated fetch; reputation fields left null pending a browser place-page visit. |
