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 A named clinician holds a Certificate in Conscious Sedation and Pain Management, and the HIS conditions of registration permit intravenous midazolam by an appropriately trained team — conscious sedation. No general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation is documented, and this criterion counts only the latter. [s1] [reg1]

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
20 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Body read on 2026-09-07: live content site with implant, hygiene, periodontal, referral and about pages. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Five clinicians named on the home page, each with a GDC registration number and qualifications. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Clinical Director and Principal Implant Dentist, Implant Dentist, Implant Dentist and Prosthodontist, and a dentist with a certificate in conscious sedation and pain management. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph is a group photograph of the practice's own team — six members of staff seated in its own reception, in the practice's uniform — its own team and premises. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address and phone published in the header and footer of the clinic's own site with a booking route. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The contact page, which timed out twice during the research pass, loaded on 2026-09-07 and embeds a Google map of 100 Berkeley Street. [s4] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
4 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Only one figure is published anywhere on the site read on 2026-09-07 - a hygiene session from GBP 150. Implant treatment, the practice's core work, is offered with a free consultation and no published fee, so this falls short of a standing price list or ranges across at least three services. [s1] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed EMS guided biofilm therapy hygiene session from GBP 150. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The practice's core treatment carries no published price. [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed The practice publishes its in-person implant consultation as free, with a diagnostic assessment and CBCT scan included. The criterion counts a consultation published as free. The rest of the treatment tree still carries no price, so pricesPublished stays false. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
17 / 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) Read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 92 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star, 1 two-star and 2 one-star — sums to 99, matching the 99 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.838 reproduces the published 4.8. [g1] [gmpb] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-08 from the place-page header, and the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card carried no count before this pass: the automated map method used in the initial data collection returns the rating but never the review count, which is why every French card was queued for a manual browser check. [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is two months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 2, 2, 3, 4, 4 (edited), 7, 7 and 8 months. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers 7 of 8 of the reviews visible on the place page on 2026-09-08. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No criticism appears in the visible sample; the one- and two-star mass is 3 of 99 ratings, 3.0 %. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. 92 five-star with a genuine spread at four, three, two and one star; the visible reviews describe implant and veneer courses at different lengths and run across eight months, seven with individual owner replies. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Centre for Implant Dentistry Glasgow" and "Centre for Implant Dentistry"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [centre-for-implant-dentistry-glasgow-tripadvisor] [centre-for-implant-dentistry-glasgow-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a WhatClinic profile filled in by the clinic (its own description, its staff, photos, prices, opening hours); no patient reviews there yet. [centre-for-implant-dentistry-glasgow-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
8 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The practice runs a radiograph referral service for other dentists, published on its own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) The practice publishes a CBCT scan inside its free implant consultation and runs a CBCT referral service for referring dentists on its own site. [s5] [s6] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [reg1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics Orthodontics appears nowhere in the practice's published treatment tree (30 pages read 2026-09-07); the practice works in implants, hygiene and periodontal treatment. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Implant placement and periodontal surgery are published treatments and one named clinician holds a certificate in conscious sedation and pain management. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry The HIS conditions of registration state the service will treat service users aged from birth, but prescription-only and medical-device treatments are restricted to adults; the site publishes no children's dentistry. | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or same-day service is published; the only mention of emergencies anywhere on the site is a March 2020 notice about coronavirus restrictions. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available No WhatsApp or messenger link in the pages read on 2026-09-07. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible A free consultation is the site's primary booking route, with a dedicated booking page. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Separate explanatory pages on what dental implants are, the implant treatments offered, periodontal treatment and guided biofilm therapy. [s1] [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours No opening hours are published on the contact page or anywhere else in the 30 pages of the site read on 2026-09-07. [s4] | 0/1.5 |

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
