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 nervous-patient page describes its IV sedation as "You remain conscious but deeply relaxed", administered by a consultant anaesthetist, alongside oral sedation. No general anaesthesia or deep/twilight sedation is published, and this criterion counts only the latter. [s6]

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 Dr M Israr is named as Principal Dentist and Dr Tun Wildan as Maxillofacial Surgeon on the about page. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Roles and qualifications published beside each named clinician. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph is the clinic's own reception and waiting area, its panelled wall and seating — its own premises. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address, phone, WhatsApp and seven-day opening hours published on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published "Find Us" link with the full address on the clinic's own pages. [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 page headed "Transparent Pricing", covering dental, medical and aesthetic treatments. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Scale and polish GBP 65; hygienist deep clean from GBP 95; airflow hygiene GBP 99. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Restorative fillings GBP 92-178. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Crowns and inlays from GBP 400. [s2] | 2/2 |

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 — 131 five-star, 0 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star and 8 one-star — sums to 140, matching the 140 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.757 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] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is two months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 2, 4, 4, 4, 5, 9, 10 and 10 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 Google reviews: 4 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply, 4 of them recent (within the last 12 months), the latest reply dated 2026-09-14. [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-deepen-2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One readable negative in the visible sample: a one-star from a patient who booked online, received a confirmation, and on arrival was told nothing was in the system under their name. A single account does not establish a repeated theme; the one- and two-star mass is 8 of 140 ratings, 5.7 %. 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. 131 five-star, one three-star and eight one-star with nothing at four or two — a two-valued shape, disclosed rather than scored. Against manipulation: the visible reviews describe different treatments at different lengths, run from two to ten months with no burst, and nobody answers them, which is not what a curated profile looks like. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's own site links its Facebook page. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "The Yardley Clinic Birmingham" and "Yardley Clinic"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-tripadvisor] [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on Doctify, WhatClinic or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-01). [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-deepen] [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-platforms] [the-yardley-clinic-birmingham-platforms-2] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
13 / 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 clinic's own implant page publishes "a thorough examination including X-rays and 3D CBCT scans" as the first stage of treatment. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Clear aligners, metal fixed braces and adult braces priced. [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Extractions priced from GBP 109; the resident team includes a maxillofacial surgeon. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Children's healthy mouth checks, children's hygienist visits and child emergency check-ups priced separately. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Same-day emergency bookings advertised and an emergency appointment priced at GBP 150. [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 WhatsApp link to the clinic's own number in the site header and footer. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Online booking, WhatsApp and a smile quiz on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Separate page per treatment with a short explanation of each. [s4] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Open Monday to Sunday, 09:00 to 23:00, with same-day emergency slots. [s1] [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
6 / 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".

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.
Clinic operating licence: CQC-registered location "The Yardley Clinic", also known as Maruleafclinic, location ID 1-14758797012, provider The Yardley Clinic Limited (provider ID 1-13916728975), service types Dentist, Doctors/GPs and Mobile doctors, 1752 Coventry Road, Yardley, Birmingham B26 1PB. (From the CQC care directory bulk extract, snapshot produced 02 September 2026. The extract records no date of latest check for this location, so it has not yet been inspected under this registration.) [reg1]
Dentists & professional licences
Red Flags
- low Aggressive marketing practices (-1 pts) — Doorway pages and a keyword-stuffed listing name. The practice’s own sitemap declares 86 routes, of which 20 are near-identical "emergency dentist <suburb>" landing pages, two are "alternative to <named competitor>" pages and 20 more are "LDS training <city>" pages for cities the practice does not serve; its Google Business listing is titled "The Yardley Dental and Medical Clinic- Composite Bonding, Invisalign, Teeth Whitening, Emergency Dental. Medical Clinic", against Google’s own naming guidelines. Recorded as a search-placement tactic on the clinic’s own channels; no scored criterion was altered because of it. [s1] [g1]
Red-flag penalty applied: -1 points (capped at -20).
Data We Could Not Verify

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2025-04-20 to 2026-10-02; 4.8 from 141): owner replies true. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-01 | Checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on Doctify (its full UK practice sitemap), WhatClinic or Trustpilot, so the clinic is not present on other review platforms. |
| 2026-10-01 | Review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot, and Doctify could not be searched, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to not established. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-09 | Manual red flag aggressive_marketing (low) set at the editorial gate: 20 near-identical "emergency dentist <suburb>" doorway pages, two competitor-comparison pages and 20 "LDS training <city>" pages for cities the practice does not serve, alongside a keyword-stuffed Business Profile title. The rule applied across all cards: a keyword-stuffed listing name on its own is a placement tactic and is disclosed without a flag (cadbury-dental-practice-bournville and the Paris twin are left unflagged for that reason); doorway pages claiming places the practice does not serve are spam under the catalogue’s own wording and are flagged. |
| 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 (131/0/1/0/8 = 140, weighted mean 4.757), 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 team page read, which gives the principal dentist's full forename and his Spanish qualification and so resolves the register ambiguity in favour of GDC 285357 (Mohammed Israr, Grado en Odontologia Valencia 2019); the maxillofacial surgeon's number re-opened and confirmed; a cone-beam scanner documented on the clinic's own implant page, so hasCBCT moves from unresolved to true; sedation corrected to a published negative because the clinic's own page describes the patient as remaining conscious; the Facebook and Instagram evidence moved off the search pseudo-source. Recorded for the gate: the site publishes twenty near-identical "emergency dentist <suburb>" landing pages and two "alternative to <named competitor>" pages alongside the keyword-stuffed Google Business name. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (research, no browser): home, pricing, about and dental pages read; one named clinician matched to a GDC registration number, the principal dentist left unattributed because the clinic publishes only an initial and the register holds two dentists with that surname; CQC registration taken from the 02 September 2026 care-directory extract; Google place record read automatically. Noted: the Google Business name is keyword-stuffed ("The Yardley Dental and Medical Clinic- Composite Bonding, Invisalign, Teeth Whitening, Emergency Dental. Medical Clinic") while the clinic calls itself The Yardley Clinic everywhere on its own site; the card follows the clinic's own name. |
