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 Team page names Alaleh Tarahomi (D.D.S., Clinic Director) and Amir Sikaroudi (D.D.S.) among the clinic's dentists. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Alaleh Tarahomi: aesthetic dentistry, endodontics, prosthetic dentistry; Amir Sikaroudi: oral surgery focus. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's own Google Business Profile carries an owner-published photo set (a By owner category) showing named staff, the corridor and a treatment room of these premises - not stock imagery. Judged visually on 2026-09-08. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Dedicated pages for fillings, oral surgery, implants, root canal, veneers, whitening, Invisalign/orthodontics, bite splints, dental hygienist care. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Full street address plus the clinic's own published Google Maps link. [s3] | 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 Published fixed and "from" fees across first visit, general dentistry, oral surgery, root canal, aesthetic dentistry and hygienist categories. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Dental hygienist treatment (scaling/polishing/AirFlow) from 1,545 SEK. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Composite filling, 1 surface, from 1,490 SEK. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed Page explicitly places crowns and bridges among treatments "where the cost must be assessed individually" - no price or range given. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Dental implants explicitly listed among treatments requiring an individual estimate - no price or range given. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed New patient examination 695 SEK; emergency examination 495 SEK. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed X-rays mentioned only as part of diagnostics, no standalone imaging fee published. [s2] | 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 read the same visit: 376 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star, 2 two-star, 7 one-star. The buckets sum to 389, exactly the count in the place-page header, and the weighted mean 4.899 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmap1] [gmapv] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read from the place-page header 2026-09-08; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmap1] [gmapv] [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest visible review is 2 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket. 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 (four attempts), so no fresher slice is available. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to all 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 from 3 months ago about a whitening consultation the reviewer felt was mis-sold) - a single instance, not a repeated theme. Negative mass in the histogram is 9 of 389 = 2.3 per cent. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of dates across the year and variety of reviewer accounts and wording show no sign of manipulation. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence | 0/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ? | Other review platforms | 0/0.5 |

How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; rating and review count confirmed, star histogram read and reconciled with the header, review recency, owner replies, complaint themes, manipulation signals and owner-published photos recorded from an 8-review relevance-ordered sample. |
| 2026-09-07 | Verification pass (D-sweden): rating 4.9 and review count 389 independently re-read from the live Google place preview under a second query form and both language surfaces; unchanged. Reputation histogram, recency and owner replies remain browser-only and are queued in the worklist. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic website (home, prices, team pages) plus a live non-browser Google Maps search-preview fetch for rating/review count/geo/website. Review histogram, review dates and owner replies require a browser place-page visit and are left null pending the wave's dedicated reputation phase. |
