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.

Summary
Vasastaden branch of the Smile Tandvård chain (Colosseum Dental Group) at Erik Dahlbergsgatan 14, publishing its own branch page with a named team of five general dentists and six specialist dentists, a clinic-specific price list, weekday-evening hours and same-day acute care. The practice was founded in 2004 as Tandkliniken ett4 and joined the chain on 1 November 2017; a dental-tourism directory still lists the former name at the same street address.

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
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Corrected by the verifier. The branch has its own page on the chain site with its own address, phone, e-mail, hours, staff roster and price list, and the Google place record does carry a website field (smile.se). The research pass recorded the listing as having no website link. [s9] [gmapv] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The branch page publishes the roster under "Vi som jobbar på kliniken": general dentists Anna (odontologically responsible), Katie, Kristina, Magnus and Ulrika; specialist dentists Alicja (orthodontics), Cecilia (periodontology), Peter and Zoran (jaw surgery), Luis Chavez de Paz (endodontics) and Märta Vahnström (prosthetics); hygienists Maryam and Raja; plus nurses and service staff. Most are published with first name only. [s9] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each name carries a role, and the six specialists carry their specialty: orthodontics, periodontology, jaw surgery (two), endodontics and prosthetics. [s9] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The branch page lists general dentistry, emergency care, examination, cleaning, clear-aligner orthodontics, children's and youth dentistry, whitening, specialist care and aesthetic dentistry, each with its own explanation. [s9] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, branch e-mail address and street address are published on the branch page and match the Google place record. [s9] [gmap6] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Checked 2026-09-07: no hreflang declaration and no language switcher on the branch page; the chain site is Swedish only. [s9] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address published on the branch's own page and on the Google place record; the chain's 2017 acquisition announcement independently places the practice at the Vasagatan / Erik Dahlbergsgatan corner in central Gothenburg. [gmap6] [s9] [s10] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
9 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published The branch page links a price list scoped to this clinic by its own id; it publishes seven procedure codes with amounts (101 examination 1 495 kr, 111 hygienist examination 1 235 kr, 341 periodontal treatment 1 245 kr, 401 extraction 2 295 kr, 501 root filling 5 443 kr, 705 filling 2 515 kr, 800 crown 8 383 kr), plus the patient's share at each subsidy tier. [s11] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed The published list carries no tandsten/tandrengöring code (2xx); code 111 is a hygienist examination and 341 a periodontal treatment, neither of which is a scaling or polishing price. [s11] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Code 705, two-surface filling on a molar or premolar, 2 515 kr. [s11] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Code 800, permanent tooth-supported crown, 8 383 kr. [s11] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed No implant code appears in the published list. [s11] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Code 101, basic examination, 1 495 kr. [s11] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No radiography code (12x) appears in the published list. [s11] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
14.5 / 20
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: 71 five-star, 0 four-star, 1 three-star, 1 two-star, 9 one-star; the buckets sum to 82, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.500 reproduces the published 4.5 - which is also the figure the clinic's own branch page publishes. [gmapv] [s9] [gmpb] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed against the place-page header 2026-09-08; the star histogram sums to the same figure, and the clinic's own branch page states the same count. [gmapv] [s9] [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | 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 all 8 visible reviews, including both negatives. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Two readable negatives in the visible sample, on different themes: a two-star from a patient of twenty-five years whose front tooth failed again after roughly 50,000 SEK of work (clinical durability), and a one-star describing a 445 SEK fluoride treatment charged on top of the 1,290 SEK annual examination without being asked for (an unrequested add-on). The second is a textbook upselling account and is recorded here for the reader, but one instance of each theme is not a repeated pattern. Negative mass in the histogram is 10 of 82 = 12.2 per cent. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Dates spread across the past year and beyond, varied reviewers and wording, no burst. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence | 0/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Corrected by the verifier. The clinic does appear on the dental-tourism directory under its former name at the same street address, but the entry carries "No score yet" - no rating and no reviews. A listing without reviews is not review presence on another platform. [s8] | 0/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; rating and count confirmed against the header and the clinic's own branch page, star histogram read, recency, owner replies, complaint reading (including an unrequested-charge account) and manipulation check completed. |
| 2026-09-07 | Verification pass (D-sweden): the branch's own page on the chain site was located, which reverses hasWebsite from false to true and fills the transparency, price, service, staff, hours and structured-data fields that the research pass had to leave unverified; the chain's own 2017 acquisition announcement confirms the co-located rebrand (Tandkliniken ett4, founded 2004 at the Vasagatan/Erik Dahlbergsgatan corner) instead of relying on a directory entry; rating 4.5 and 82 reviews read from the live Google place preview and independently matched by the clinic's own page; the directory entry was re-read and carries no score, so review presence on another platform is corrected to a verified negative. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: live non-browser Google Maps search-preview fetch (address, phone, geo, current chain name) plus a directory existence check under the branch's former name at the same address. No clinic-owned website located; transparency, price, infrastructure and communication fields left unverified (null) rather than false. |
