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 clinic's own sedation page states that its sedation "reduces anxiety without deep sedation", that patients "can respond to verbal cues", and contrasts it with general anaesthesia and intubation. This criterion counts only general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation. [s4]

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 and fee pages. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr Sara Mirza is named as Clinical Lead on the home page and the about page names five clinicians by given name with their clinical fields. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The about page publishes a clinical field and qualifications beside each named clinician: Cosmetic Dentist, Oral Surgery and Implantology, Periodontal Dentistry. (Corrects the research pass, which read only the home and fee pages after the team page returned 404.) [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph is the practice's own premises, the white period villa on Calthorpe Road with its entrance and garden. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address and phone published on the clinic's own site with an online booking route. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Address and map published The address is published on the clinic's own pages, but no map or directions element appears anywhere in the 27 pages of the site read on 2026-09-07. [s1] | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
13 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Standing treatment-cost page covering implants, cosmetic and restorative work, with a short explanation of each item. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed The fee page carries no hygiene or scale-and-polish price. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed White fillings from GBP 150. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Dental crowns from GBP 700. [s2] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Imaging is priced within published packages: the GBP 50 full clinical assessment includes X-rays and scans, and the GBP 250 implant assessment includes a CBCT. [s2] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
19 / 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 — 211 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star and 2 one-star — sums to 215, matching the 215 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.944 reproduces the published 4.9. [g1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | 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 215 from 2026-09-07 and the listing has not moved since. [g1] [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, 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and 4 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 4 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 215 ratings, 1.4 %. 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. 211 five-star with a small genuine tail at four, two and one star. All eight visible reviews fall inside four months, which is disclosed rather than scored: they describe different treatments — bonding, Invisalign, a root canal — in different voices, and the practice answers half of them. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Ora Dental Edgbaston Birmingham" and "Ora Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [ora-dental-edgbaston-birmingham-tripadvisor] [ora-dental-edgbaston-birmingham-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a Trustpilot company page (91 reviews, TrustScore 4.9). [ora-dental-edgbaston-birmingham-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
10 / 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 implant assessment is published as including a CBCT scan. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisible aligners priced in mild and complex packages. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery The about page names a clinician in Oral Surgery and Implantology holding MOral.Surg FDS (OS) who teaches oral surgery to other dentists. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry No children's dentistry is published anywhere in the 27 pages of the site read on 2026-09-07 and the fee page carries no child price. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or same-day service is published anywhere in the 27 pages read on 2026-09-07. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
6.5 / 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 Online booking and a priced assessment that is refundable against implant treatment. [s1] [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each priced item carries a one-line explanation of what the treatment involves. [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Revised from false. The verification pass recorded that no opening hours are published anywhere in the 27 pages of the clinic's site; the clinic does publish them on its own Google record, read in a browser on 2026-09-08: Monday 09:00-18:30, Tuesday 09:00-20:00, Wednesday to Friday 09:00-18:30, Saturday 09:00-15:00, Sunday closed. Both an evening surgery to 20:00 and a Saturday are published on a channel the clinic controls, so the criterion is met. [s1] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
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".

| ? | Mentioned for: UK dental clinic for expats Query not run in the AI-visibility pass: the expat query was run only for the first research city of each country. | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website No JSON-LD block and no schema.org microdata in the pages read on 2026-09-07. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality Name search returns the clinic's own home page first, followed by its CQC location page (web search, 2026-09-07). [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
