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 An intravenous sedation session is priced from GBP 480 and sedation is a treatment section, but that is conscious sedation; no general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation is documented anywhere on the site (30 pages read 2026-09-07). This criterion counts only the latter. [s1] [s2]

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.

| ✓ | Clear contact details Separate numbers for new and existing patients, address, opening hours and an enquiry form. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published "How to find us" section with the street address, parking and public-transport directions. [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
15 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Standing itemised price page; the separate opening-day and weekend-emergency offers on the home page are promotions and were not counted. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hygienist appointment 30 minutes GBP 98; 45 minutes GBP 127; 60 minutes GBP 198. [s2] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
18.5 / 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) 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 — 455 five-star, 14 four-star, 6 three-star, 5 two-star and 27 one-star — sums to 507, matching the 507 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.706 reproduces the published 4.7. [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 held 507 from 2026-09-07 and the listing has not moved since. [g1] [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is three months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 3, 3 (edited), 4, 4, 4, 6, 6 and 7 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 5 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 Three readable one-star accounts, on three different subjects: orthodontic appointments cancelled repeatedly at the start of the year with the rescheduling promised and not delivered; a very nervous patient with complex PTSD describing a scale and polish; and a patient who says more than ten thousand pounds of work was done badly and another seven thousand is now being spent elsewhere to correct it. All three break off at Google's truncation, which the browser cannot expand. No theme repeats across the three; the one- and two-star mass is 32 of 507, 6.3 %. 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. 455 five-star with a genuine spread at every level below; dates run from three to seven months, and the owner answers five of the eight visible including one of the three critical accounts. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for the clinic's name and a short form of it; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [city-centre-dental-implant-clinic-manchester-tripadvisor] [city-centre-dental-implant-clinic-manchester-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a Trustpilot page for its website (8 reviews, TrustScore 2.2). [city-centre-dental-implant-clinic-manchester-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
11 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) The price page lists small and large X-rays but no cone-beam scan; not confirmed either way in the pages read. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign and fixed braces are listed and priced. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Oral-surgeon consultations, surgical extractions and apicectomy priced; one clinician is listed as an oral surgeon. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry section and priced child examinations. [s1] [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Emergency dentist section plus priced same-day and weekend emergency appointments. [s1] [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available The practice publishes a WhatsApp number, 07900 082186, on its own contact page. (Corrects the research pass, which read only the home, price and team pages.) [s4] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |

| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Online booking and an enquiry form on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

AI & Search Visibility
8 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist UK", "English speaking dentist UK", "dental implants UK", "emergency dentist UK", "UK dental clinic for expats".
| ✓ | Mentioned for: best dentist UK The clinic's own domain appears in the results for the canonical query in the AI-visibility pass of 2026-09-07 (country-qualified re-run). [av1] | 1/1 |

| ? | Mentioned for: emergency dentist UK SERP off-target (namesake towns): only one of seven results for the canonical query relates to Manchester, United Kingdom. No conclusion drawn. | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: UK dental clinic for expats Checked in the AI-visibility pass of 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear. Four of the eight results relate to Manchester, United Kingdom, so the result set is usable. [av5] | 0/1 |
