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 branch page claims to be "the first clinic in the Maldives to introduce Conscious Sedation". Conscious sedation keeps the patient awake and responsive and therefore does not meet the general-anaesthesia / deep-sedation definition; no general anaesthesia is documented. [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
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] [s2] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The group publishes an 18-name roster with qualifications. The roster is group-wide and the site does not state unambiguously which of the four branches each dentist works at, so no per-branch attribution is claimed here. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos The group’s branch page for this clinic carries no photograph of the premises — the slot that holds a reception photo on the Malé branch page is empty here. Checked in a browser on 2026-09-10. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Branch page publishes the street address, phone +960 300 4325 and a Viber/WhatsApp number. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Corrected on 2026-09-10 by the verification pass: the branch page embeds a Google Maps iframe of this exact place (ftid 0x3b3f7f484e135f99:0x5352b349f423f63d, the same place the card cites), with the street address published beside it. [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No prices, ranges or figures on the branch page or anywhere else on the group site. [s1] [s2] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s1] | 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) as of 2026-09-26; previously 3.8 [dental-studio-hulhumale-gbp-2026-09-26] | 1/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-26; previously 10 [dental-studio-hulhumale-gbp-2026-09-26] | 0.5/3 |

| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 9 reviews were read (7 from the last 24 months) and none has an owner reply, but fewer than 10 reviews from the last 24 months could be read, too few to record that the owner does not reply. [dental-studio-hulhumale-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints 1–2★ are 27.3 % of 11 Google reviews (1★ 3 / 2★ 0 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 0 / 5★ 8), but fewer than three of the lowest-rated reviews carry text, so no common theme can be read. [dental-studio-hulhumale-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Only 9 Google reviews could be read for this listing (11 on the listing), fewer than the 10 needed to assess review patterns. [dental-studio-hulhumale-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Group-level Facebook, Instagram and Twitter profiles are linked from every page of the site. [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dental Studio Hulhumale" and "Master Dental Care Maldives"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [dental-studio-hulhumale-tripadvisor] [dental-studio-hulhumale-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, and none of them lists any clinic in the Maldives (checked 2026-10-01). [dental-studio-hulhumale-platforms] [dental-studio-hulhumale-platforms-2] [dental-studio-hulhumale-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
6 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray "Digital & OPG XRays" is a published group service line. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) 3D CBCT is documented for the group's Malé flagship; the Dental Studio branch page documents digital imaging and intra-oral scanning but does not itself claim CBCT. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology The branch is presented as the group's implant and cosmetic-dentistry destination. [s1] | 2/2 |

Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.

| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Read live on 2026-09-10 from the branch's own Google Business Profile: Saturday to Thursday 08:00-23:00, Friday closed — evening cover on all six days of the Maldivian working week. The group's own website publishes no treatment hours for this branch: its contacts page carries only head-office administrative hours (Sunday-Thursday 08:30-17:00, Friday closed), which are not clinic hours. [sm] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
5.5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Maldives", "English speaking dentist Maldives", "dental implants Maldives", "emergency dentist Maldives", "Maldives dental clinic for expats".
| ✓ | Mentioned for: best dentist Maldives The branch's own page ranks 4th; the group homepage also ranks 3rd, but only branch-specific URLs are counted here. [sqbest] | 1/1 |

| ✓ | Mentioned for: dental implants Maldives The branch's own page ranks 9th. [sqimp] | 1/1 |

| ✗ | Mentioned for: Maldives dental clinic for expats The group homepage ranks 1st but no Dental Studio page appears. [sqexp] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website The group site emits only the generic WordPress/Yoast JSON-LD graph (WebPage, ImageObject, BreadcrumbList, WebSite, Organization); there is no LocalBusiness or Dentist markup and no address, geo or opening hours in structured data. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |

| ✓ | Dedicated service pages [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
Licensing & Credentials

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-read: WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in the Maldives and have no profile for this clinic, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; Google rating 3.9 (was 3.8) and review count 11 (was 10) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-10 | Editorial gate, 2026-09-10: convenientHours normalised across the country under one written rule. The criterion is scored from the week the clinic itself publishes — on its own site where it publishes one, and otherwise on its own Google Business Profile, which the methodology counts as a channel of the clinic. `true` where the published week gives evening cover on the Saturday-Thursday Maldivian working week; Friday, the weekend day, being closed does not on its own make a week inconvenient. `null` only where no week is published on any channel of the clinic's own, or where the only week published belongs to a wider facility and cannot be attributed to its dental unit. The week recorded in the criterion note was read live from the place-detail record behind the clinic's own Google place page on 2026-09-10. |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the clinic's own Google place page opened in a real browser — star histogram read from the review-summary bars and reconciled against the published count and rating, the eight most-relevant reviews read for owner replies, recency and complaint patterns; the Ministry of Health HEMS establishment record expanded to read its practising-professionals panel, which renders client-side and names each practitioner with a registration number and a practising licence number; website pages that only render client-side opened and read. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification (no browser, no web search): the Google rating, coordinates and place identity were re-read from an independent, direct read of the Google listing and matched the earlier reading to the digit on all fourteen cards; the review count was added from the place-detail endpoint, which the earlier pass could not reach; the operating licence, registration number, licensee and professional count were re-read live from the ministry's HEMS directory; every cited non-search URL was re-fetched for liveness. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: branch page, group homepage and group roster read; Google place record read live for name, category, rating and coordinates; licence, licensee and professional count read from the Ministry of Health HEMS live establishments directory and cross-checked against the ministry's Maaharaa record and the 23.07.2026 list. Review count, recency, owner replies and complaint patterns left unset — the automated place record does not carry them. |
