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 site offers "plumbed in nitrous oxide (laughing gas) available for those who may get a little anxious" and nothing deeper — conscious inhalation sedation with the patient awake and responsive, which is below the methodology's asleep-and-unaware bar. No IV/twilight sedation or general anaesthesia is offered. [s1]

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 4 treating dentists named with individual qualifications; founder Dr Brian Hurwitz (1992) mentioned historically, current treating status unclear. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Individual degrees/postgrad quals given for at least 3 of the 4 named dentists (e.g. Master Clinician Implant Dentistry gIDE). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [s2] | 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: 110. Star histogram read from the Google Maps place page in the browser on 2026-09-10: 1*=1, 2*=0, 3*=0, 4*=1, 5*=108 — sums to 110, which matches the header count, and its weighted mean reproduces the displayed rating. [gp] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest first-person star review readable on the Google Maps place page on 2026-09-10 is dated "2 months 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: 11 of the 11 reviews read carry an owner reply, 8 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-09-03 (to a review of 2026-08-31). [dentista-r6rep] [gp] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Of 110 Google reviews, 1 is one- or two-star (0.9 %); that 2022 review concerns one dentist's service, so no complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). [dentista-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No five-star cluster and no repeated wording in the 11 Google reviews read (2022-12-26 to 2026-08-31); 10 are from accounts with other reviews of their own (read 2026-10-02). [dentista-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page "Dentista Dental Centre" (333 followers) with posts up to 2026-03-05, linked from the clinic's website. [dentista-presence] [dentista-presence-2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dentista Perth" and "Dentista"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [dentista-tripadvisor] [dentista-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has its own page on Word of Mouth at 73 Camboon Road, Noranda, with no claim prompt on it (Word of Mouth puts one on listings the business does not manage); no reviews there yet. [dentista-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |
