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.

Summary
Cosmetic- and implant-focused practice in Burleigh Heads, founded and principally run by Dr Anthony Hua, a Griffith University First Class Honours graduate who holds Fellowships with the Australian Society of Implant Dentistry and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, and who is also a qualified pharmacist. Associate dentist Dr Jyoti Nathoo, originally from New Zealand, joined more recently. Both dentists' Ahpra registration numbers are published directly on the clinic's own team page. The practice's own site embeds a Trustindex-verified Google review widget captioned "Based on 203 reviews," though that figure is not counted for this card's Google rating field, which requires a live Maps place page.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

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. [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Header review count on the Google Maps place page, read in the browser on 2026-09-10: 239. Star histogram read from the Google Maps place page in the browser on 2026-09-10: 1*=1, 2*=0, 3*=0, 4*=0, 5*=238 — sums to 239, which matches the header count, and its weighted mean reproduces the displayed rating. The Trustindex widget on the clinic's own site cites 203 reviews; the live place page shows 239, so the widget figure is a stale snapshot rather than the current count. [sm] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-24 (listing read 2026-09-25). [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 10 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply, 10 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-10-01 (to a review of 2026-10-01). [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-r6rep] [sm] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the 251 Google reviews is one- or two-star (read 2026-10-02), so no complaint recurs. [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No five-star cluster and no repeated wording in the 10 Google reviews read (2026-04-07 to 2026-10-01); 10 are from accounts with other reviews of their own (read 2026-10-02). [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence facebook.com/burleighdentalstudio linked from every page footer. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Burleigh Dental Studio Gold Coast" and "Burleigh"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-tripadvisor] [burleigh-dental-studio-goldcoast-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
