General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

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
18 / 20
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 [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed No specialization published for any of the four named dentists. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details A separate phone number is published per dentist. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
2 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Only one procedure (crowns) carries a published price range — short of the methodology's three-service threshold for a permanent price list. [s1] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Only the crown FAQ carries a price; cleaning is described with no price [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed Fillings described with no price [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed R5,000-R7,000 for a single crown. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Implants described with no price [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation price or free-consult statement anywhere on the page [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed X-rays described with no price [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-5] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
5.5 / 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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06: 2 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 2, matching the 2 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 5.000 reproduces the published 5. [gmp1] | 3/6 |
| ✗ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 0/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest review visible is 4 months old, which proves the within-a-year bucket and no better. Sample: the 2 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 1.5/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only 1 review dated within the last 24 months was read, none with an owner reply; fewer than ten, so whether the owner answers reviews stays open. [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-20] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints The listing has only 2 Google reviews (1★ 0 / 2★ 0 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 0 / 5★ 2), too few to show a repeated complaint. [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-20] | 0/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns The listing has only 2 reviews, all read (dated 2024-06-08 to 2026-04-21); fewer than ten, so a pattern cannot be judged. [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-20] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The practice's own Facebook page, found by a direct search; its address and website match the clinic [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-19] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing; the clinic's own website has no TripAdvisor link [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-14] [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-15] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Not the one dentist WhatClinic lists for Bloemfontein; no TripAdvisor listing either [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-16] [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-17] [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-18] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray X-rays documented as part of general/preventative dentistry [dental-mediclinic-bloemfontein-deepen-6] | 2/2 |

Communication & Service
3.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | The clinic's site carries no Facebook link. A direct Facebook search found its own page, with the clinic's suite address and website. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and WhatClinic's Bloemfontein directory: no listing on either platform. The clinic's website carries no TripAdvisor link. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints and no suspicious review patterns now unverified: 2 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 2 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's single-page website (services, FAQ sections) and its Google listing. Recorded: X-rays and wisdom-tooth/surgical extractions documented among the services, no emergency service, no WhatsApp contact (phone numbers only), no online booking or estimate mechanism, full plain-language service and FAQ explanations, and WebPage/Organization/FAQPage structured data with no dedicated per-treatment pages. Only the crown price (already on the card) is published; cleaning, fillings, implants, consultations and X-rays carry no price. Still unverified: Facebook, TripAdvisor and other-platform presence, CBCT/3D imaging, and work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-06 | Checked by hand in a browser: Google Maps place page read live for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading and pin coordinates; clinic Facebook pages opened where needed; the five canonical visibility queries re-run as browser SERPs. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the South Africa Dental Transparency & Trust Index (Bloemfontein): verified via dentalmediclinic.co.za and the HPCSA iRegister (three of four named dentists matched confidently, one tentatively). AI-visibility queries and Google Maps fields not available — left for a manual browser check. |
