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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Confirmed in the verification pass from the clinic's own current General Anaesthesia page: "You remain fully asleep and unaware while your dentist performs all required dental treatment", administered by an anaesthetist in a partnered day hospital — meets the methodology's asleep-and-unaware bar. A separate IV Sedation page is offered alongside it. [s1] [s5]

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
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed 8 dentists named on homepage; no license numbers shown on the pages reviewed. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
Reputation & Reviews
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 from the clinic's Google Maps place page 2026-09-10 (automated two-step place read, name/address/phone cross-checked against the clinic's own site). Review count not carried by the response served for this place — queued for a manual browser check. [gp] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Header review count on the Google Maps place page, read in the browser on 2026-09-10: 1,012. Star histogram read from the Google Maps place page in the browser on 2026-09-10: 1*=5, 2*=3, 3*=2, 4*=11, 5*=991 — sums to 1012, which matches the header count, and its weighted mean reproduces the displayed rating. [gp] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest first-person star review readable on the Google Maps place page on 2026-09-10 is dated "a month ago" (3 reviews readable). Google Maps' sort-by-Newest control does not open in this browser session, so the list was read in its default relevance order; Google Business Posts on the same panel were excluded because they carry no star rating. [gp] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 10 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply, 2 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-09-13 (to a review of 2026-09-13). [brisbane-dental-r6rep] [gp] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Of 1015 Google reviews, 8 are one- or two-star (0.8 %); the lowest-rated read (2016-2025) raise different matters (a dentist 45 minutes late, staff conduct, a small filling refused, poor work in 2016), so no complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). [brisbane-dental-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No five-star cluster and no repeated wording in the 10 Google reviews read (2016-11-23 to 2026-09-13); 8 are from accounts with other reviews of their own (read 2026-10-02). [brisbane-dental-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page "Brisbane Dental" (1,113 followers) with posts up to 2026-08-07, linked from the clinic's website. [brisbane-dental-presence] [brisbane-dental-presence-2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Brisbane Dental Brisbane" and "Brisbane Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [brisbane-dental-tripadvisor] [brisbane-dental-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Word of Mouth page for the practice at 420 George Street, managed by the business (no reviews yet), checked 2026-10-02. [brisbane-dental-oop] | 0.5/0.5 |

| 2026-10-02 | Facebook presence re-checked on 2026-10-02: live Facebook page confirmed. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-07-22. |
| 2026-09-10 | Editorial gate, 2026-09-10: the independent-platform row was closed as an informed `null` rather than left queued. The manual browser check searched Healthengine and found no profile; absence from one platform is not absence from all, so the criterion stays unset instead of being scored `false`. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: the cited General Anaesthesia source was the "-old" URL (a redirect) and is now the canonical page, whose wording confirms the asleep-and-unaware bar; the healthengine booking-widget source was a live 404 and the onOtherPlatforms claim hanging on it was withdrawn to null and queued for the browser; Google rating read live from the place page. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection. Own site (3 pages) + Google Business profile (automated Maps query, address cross-checked) + 1 independent listing (healthengine booking widget surfaced from the Google Business profile). No dentist AHPRA numbers published on reviewed pages -> queued for an Ahpra browser check. googleRating/googleReviewCount deferred to a manual browser check. |
