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 clinic in Henveiru, Malé, licensed by the Ministry of Health since March 2022 and operated by Aifa Partners, with ten registered practising professionals — one of the larger dental teams on the ministry's roll. It runs no website and publishes through Facebook and Instagram instead. The clinic moved premises in December 2024, from H. Saahath on Filigas Magu to H. Fairy Palace on Abadhah Ufaa Hingun; the ministry register still carries the old address, while Google and the clinic's own channels carry the new one.

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
2 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website No clinic website exists. The clinic publishes through facebook.com/hopedentalcare.mv and instagram.com/hopedentalcare.mv; neither ministry register lists a website for the facility. [sm] [sq1] | 0/4 |
| ? | Dentist names listed The clinic's own Instagram appears to name at least one visiting consultant orthodontist, but Instagram and Facebook cannot be read automatically, so nothing was actually opened and read. Queued for a manual browser check; deliberately unset rather than denied. | 0/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ? | Service list published | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Corrected on 2026-09-10 by the verification pass: the three ministry sources do not agree on the phone. The Maaharaa record and the 23.07.2026 list carry 3001516; the live HEMS directory carries 7958876 / 7777159. The clinic's own Google place — its own channel — publishes +960 300-1516, which is the number recorded here, and the live place record also confirms the current address.

| ? | English website version | 0/2 |
| ? | Address and map published | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15

Reputation & Reviews
10.5 / 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 2026-09-10 [sm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-26; previously 13 [hope-dental-care-male-gbp-2026-09-26] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Re-read in a browser on 2026-09-10: the newest review rendered on the place page is one week old and five stars. This is the freshest review base of the Malé set. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 9 reviews were read 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. [hope-dental-care-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram read on 2026-09-10 shows twelve five-star and one four-star review and nothing below four stars, so three dated complaints about the same thing cannot exist. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Only 9 Google reviews could be read for this listing (17 on the listing), fewer than the 10 needed to assess review patterns. [hope-dental-care-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence facebook.com/hopedentalcare.mv, posting through 2026. [sq1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hope Dental Care Male" and "Hope Dental Maldives"; the clinic has no website that could link one (checked 2026-10-02). [hope-dental-care-male-tripadvisor] | 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). [hope-dental-care-male-platforms] [hope-dental-care-male-platforms-2] [hope-dental-care-male-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |

The clinic runs no website, so the Business Profile is its only channel that publishes a week. [sm] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
2 / 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".

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: PVT-ASC-22-157-00 (Ministry of Health operating licence PVT-ASC-22-157-00, facility registration number HF-20/ALP/PVT/569, level Area Specific Clinic, licensee Aifa Partners (P01802019), 10 registered practising professionals. Read live on 2026-09-10 from the ministry's HEMS Registered Health Establishments directory. The ministry's "Operating Private Health Facilities" list in the edition stamped "Last updated on 23.07.2026" and the ministry's Maaharaa facility record both carry the same registration number against the older licence code PVT-SC-22-157-00, registered 23 March 2022, and both still show the clinic's pre-December-2024 address.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-02: 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; review count 16 (was 13) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 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: licence, licensee and professional count read from the Ministry of Health HEMS live establishments directory, cross-checked against the ministry's 23.07.2026 list and the ministry's Maaharaa facility record; Google place record read live for rating, current address and coordinates. The clinic has no website and publishes on Facebook and Instagram, which cannot be read automatically, so the roster, service list, prices and infrastructure criteria are left unset and queued for a manual browser check. |
