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 The practice publishes that implants are placed under local anaesthetic or sedation and names an implant surgeon who is also a sedationist, but no general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation is documented (12 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
18 / 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, team, referral and contact sections. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr Sun Ku (Clinical Director and Implant Surgeon), Dr Ajmal Zubair and Dr Daahin Kim are named on the home page. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each clinician is described as an implant surgeon; the practice states it works exclusively in implant dentistry. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph is the centre's own glazed street frontage under its MCR IMPLANT CENTRE sign — its own premises and signage. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Six treatment pages: dental implants, instant teeth, same-day smiles, failed implant treatment, sinus grafting and overseas implant correction. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address, landline, email, WhatsApp and opening hours published on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Address and map published The street address is published in the site header, footer and contact page, but no map or directions element appears anywhere in the 12 pages read on 2026-09-07. [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
2 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No fee page exists in the site navigation and none of the treatment pages read on 2026-09-07 carries a figure; costs are described only as discussed at consultation. [s1] [s2] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The clinic's core treatment carries no published price. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed The practice publishes its consultation as free ("Book Your Free Consultation") on its own contact page. The criterion counts a consultation published as free. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
18 / 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 — 64 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 0 one-star — sums to 64, matching the 64 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 5.000 reproduces the published 5.0. [g1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-29; previously 64 [mcr-implant-centre-manchester-gbp-2026-09-29] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is one month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 1, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6, 7 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 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 Read on a complete distribution: the listing carries no rating below five, so there is no negative to form a theme. The base is 64 reviews. 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. A wall of 64 five-star ratings, disclosed rather than scored — this is the shape the review sweep asked to be looked at twice. Against manipulation: the eight visible accounts describe eight different implant journeys at eight different lengths, name three members of staff between them, run across seven months with no burst, and seven carry individual owner replies. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "MCR Implant Centre Manchester" and "MCR Implant Centre"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [mcr-implant-centre-manchester-tripadvisor] [mcr-implant-centre-manchester-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a Trustpilot company page claimed by the practice, with no reviews yet. [mcr-implant-centre-manchester-platforms] | 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 treatment pathway states that dental X-rays and a CBCT scan are taken at the diagnosis stage. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics The practice states it works exclusively in implant dentistry; no orthodontic treatment is offered. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Implant placement, extraction with immediate placement and sinus grafting. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Implant-only referral practice; no children's dentistry is offered. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or urgent-care service on the site; the practice takes planned and referred implant cases. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients The site has a page on correcting implant work carried out abroad, which addresses returning UK patients rather than treating visitors; not counted either way. | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
7 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available WhatsApp contact link published on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Consultation booking is the site's primary call to action and the first stage of the published treatment pathway. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations A four-stage treatment pathway is set out in plain language, from consultation to fitting the permanent teeth. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Published hours on the practice's own site: Monday 10:30-15:30, Tuesday 09:30-17:00, Wednesday 09:30-18:30, Thursday and Friday 09:30-17:00, Saturday and Sunday closed. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
3.5 / 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".
