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) — Not verified
Summary
Dental practice in Gelvan Park, Gqeberha, established February 2019 by Dr Stephanie Uys. The clinic's website (jentlinc.co.za) has been in maintenance mode since 2026-03-30 — its own WordPress API shows only a maintenance page and a front page reading "This site is offline" — so every transparency criterion that depends on the clinic's own channel is unverifiable and left null rather than guessed.
Strengths
- No red flags identified in public sources.
Weaknesses
- Reputation & Reviews: 3 of 13 verifiable points (missing: google review volume; review recency; tripAdvisor presence; other review platforms)
- Communication & Service: 0 of 1.5 verifiable points (missing: convenient opening hours)
- AI & Search Visibility: 0 of 7 verifiable points (missing: mentioned for: best dentist South Africa; mentioned for: English speaking dentist South Africa; mentioned for: dental implants South Africa; mentioned for: emergency dentist South Africa; mentioned for: South Africa dental clinic for expats; google indexing quality)
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
7 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website jentlinc.co.za resolves but has been in deliberate WordPress maintenance mode since 2026-03-30, not merely unreachable: it returned HTTP 503 with Retry-After 3600 on four automated attempts across two sessions on 2026-09-04, and its own public REST API shows the site contains only a "Website is under maintenance" page and a front page whose full text is "This site is offline." A live browser will see the same maintenance page, so this is a verified negative rather than an unknown — the domain exists but publishes no current information. [s3] | 0/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own Google Business Profile name identifies both dentists [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen] | 3/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ? | Service list published | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone number is clearly published on the clinic's own Google Business Profile and matches the card [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-3] | 2/2 |
| ? | English website version The site did not load (checked 2026-10-05): it shows a notice that the website is offline. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Address and map published via the clinic's own Google Business Profile [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-4] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Reputation & Reviews
3 / 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: 1 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 1, matching the 1 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 as of 2026-09-17 [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-7] | 0/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 1 review read is dated within the last 24 months (newest 2020-05-05), so whether the owner answers reviews cannot be judged. [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-11] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints The listing has only 1 Google review (1★ 0 / 2★ 0 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 0 / 5★ 1), too few to show a repeated complaint. [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-11] | 0/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns The listing has only 1 review, all read (dated 2020-05-05 to 2020-05-05); fewer than ten, so a pattern cannot be judged. [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-11] | 0/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence Not established: no Facebook page of the Gqeberha practice was found; the page "Jentl Health & Skin Care" is a skin-care business in Bellville (checked 2026-10-02). | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing: two searches of TripAdvisor's own index on 2026-10-01 find nothing for the clinic; the clinic's website did not load that day. [jentl-dental-gqeberha-deepen-10] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No clinic profile found on WhatClinic, Hellopeter or Trustpilot; Dental Departures lists no clinics in South Africa (checked 2026-10-01).

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Checked TripAdvisor, WhatClinic, Hellopeter, Trustpilot and Dental Departures on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on any of them, so TripAdvisor presence and presence on other review platforms are recorded as absent. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 1 Google review a missing owner reply shows nothing yet; service list published, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website, still in maintenance mode on every attempt (HTTP 503, no content), and its Google Business Profile in detail. Recorded from that profile, the clinic's only working channel: both dentists' names (carried in the listing's own business name), a clear phone number, a verifiable address and map, weekday-only hours, no published prices and no itemised service list, and a single six-year-old review with no owner reply on a claimed listing. Still unverified: Facebook, TripAdvisor and other-platform presence, documented equipment and services, English-language content, and pre-visit consultation options. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name verification 2026-09-10: Stephanie Uys confirmed active on the HPCSA national register (site remains down, 503, on retry); source added; city mismatch disclosed honestly in the citation. |
| 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 | Adversarial verification: re-fetched the site twice more (HTTP 503, Retry-After 3600, four attempts total across two sessions) and then queried its public WordPress REST API, which is up. The 503 is not a transient block or a bot check — the site has been in maintenance mode since 2026-03-30, publishing only "This site is offline." hasWebsite corrected from null to a sourced false; the manual browser check line updated so the follow-up agent does not spend a session on a full site read that cannot succeed. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the South Africa Dental Transparency & Trust Index (Gqeberha): clinic identified via search-engine results and third-party listings; the clinic's own website (jentlinc.co.za) was unreachable (HTTP 503) on both attempts, so almost all transparency criteria are left null rather than guessed. Queued for a full live-browser recheck of the site, plus AI-visibility queries and Google Maps fields. |
