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 Intravenous sedation is priced at GBP 350 on the practice's own price list and the about page names a qualified sedation nurse, but that is conscious sedation; no general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation is documented (13 pages read 2026-09-07). This criterion counts only the latter. [s2] [s3]

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 treatment, price and about pages. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The about page names nine dentists and prints a GDC registration number beside each, plus the practice manager, hygienists and nurses. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The price list attributes periodontal consultations to a named clinician and implant work to another. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph is the practice's own interior — its reception counter and waiting area on the second floor of Kings Court. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address, phone, email and opening hours published in the site header. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Embedded Google map on the practice's own contact page, confirmed 2026-09-07. [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 price list covering examinations, imaging, hygiene, restorations, endodontics, extractions, orthodontics, dentures and implants. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hygienist appointment from GBP 75; direct access from GBP 95. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Composite filling from GBP 195; amalgam filling from GBP 120. [s2] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
14 / 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 — 223 five-star, 7 four-star, 5 three-star, 5 two-star and 59 one-star — sums to 299, matching the 299 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.104 reproduces the published 4.1. [g1] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | 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] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is one month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 4, 5 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 replies to reviews on Google: 6 of the 9 reviews read carry an owner reply, 6 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-09-08 (to a review of 2026-09-08). [manchester-dental-practice-deepen] [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints 4 of the five lowest-rated Google reviews read concern reception staff and appointment handling (a late patient turned away, wrong appointment information with a rude turn-away, a patient removed from the register with an abrupt call, and a receptionist named in a “worst clinic” review) (dated 2025-10 to 2026-09); 1–2★ ratings are 64 of 301 (21.3 %). [manchester-dental-practice-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. A polarised real-service profile rather than a manipulation signature: 223 five-star against 59 one-star with small counts between, dates from one to seven months, and individual owner replies including on the one-star. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The practice's own site header links its Facebook page and its structured data lists it under sameAs. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Manchester Dental Practice" and "Manchester Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [manchester-dental-practice-tripadvisor] [manchester-dental-practice-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a WhatClinic profile filled in by the clinic (its staff, opening hours); one patient review there (2012). [manchester-dental-practice-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (9 distinct reviews, dated 2025-10-07 to 2026-10-01; 4.1 from 301): recurring complaints true. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 59 of 299 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. Recorded from it: the rating re-verified against the star histogram, the review count (previously unknown — the automated map method never returns it), the histogram itself (223/7/5/5/59 = 299, weighted mean 4.104), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the eight most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph and the full published opening week. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |

Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification (no browser): the about page re-read in full, which raised the recorded roster from five dentists to nine, each number opened individually in the GDC register and confirmed Registered/Dentist; two clinician titles corrected to the ones the practice publishes, with the note that the register carries no specialist listing behind either; sedation and children's dentistry settled as published negatives; the Facebook and Instagram evidence moved off the search pseudo-source onto the practice's own site. The Google rating could not be re-read automatically. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (research, no browser): home, price and about pages read; five GDC registration numbers verified one by one; CQC registration taken from the 02 September 2026 care-directory extract; Google place record read automatically, rating captured but the review count not returned in four attempts. A namesake risk was excluded first: manchesterdental.co.uk is a different business with a different phone number, and the Google place at 2-4 Exchange Street resolves to manchesterdentalpractice.co.uk. |
