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.

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 Principal named on own about-us page; independently corroborated by a HealthShare professional profile. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Described as an implant dentist; page is dedicated to implant dentistry. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Homepage opened in the browser on 2026-09-10: it carries a named portrait of the practice's dentist (file "Dr-Burhaan-Kassim-Our-Dental-Implant-Dentist"), alongside generic banner imagery captioned "Beautiful Woman", "Older People" and "Happy Family". One recognisable photograph of the practitioner, no interior photography. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 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.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Only one service is priced (implant consultation); below the 3-service minimum for the aggregate flag. [s1] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Implant price listed Implant-fixture/full-treatment cost not shown; only the consultation fee is priced. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed "Dental implant consultation $49" - standing price, not a time-limited promo. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |
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] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Header review count on the Google Maps place page, read in the browser on 2026-09-10: 16. 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*=15 — sums to 16, which matches the header count, and its weighted mean reproduces the displayed rating. [gp] | 0.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency Newest first-person star review readable on the Google Maps place page on 2026-09-10 is dated "8 months ago" (8 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. The dedicated reviews panel was read to its end and served eight reviews with prose; the remaining entries of the sixteen carry a star rating only and no date. [gp] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on the clinic's own Google listing on 2026-09-11: the practice has answered 2 of the 5 reviews shown there (16 published in total), most recently on 2026-01-09. One reply reads: "Thank you so much for your heartfelt and detailed review. It truly means a lot to all of us here at Southside Dental Implants. We are delighted to...". In the Google reading of 2026-10-02, 2 of the 9 reviews read carry an owner reply. [gp] [gm-replies] [southside-dental-implants-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Of 16 Google reviews, 1 is one- or two-star (6.3 %) and it carries no text; the other reviews read are five-star, so no complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). [southside-dental-implants-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Only 9 of the 16 Google reviews could be read (2016-07-11 to 2026-01-09), fewer than the ten needed to judge a pattern, so the criterion is left unassessed (read 2026-10-02). | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s4] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Southside Dental Implants Brisbane" and "Southside"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [southside-dental-implants-tripadvisor] [southside-dental-implants-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Word of Mouth: a page for the practice at its McCullough Centre suite, managed by the business (no reviews yet). The RateMDs page of its dentist is unclaimed and has no reviews. [southside-dental-implants-deepen-2] [southside-dental-implants-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
