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
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 doctors page renders only client-side; opened in a browser on 2026-09-10 it names four dentists, each with a portrait and a biography. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each of the four named dentists carries a stated speciality: senior dental surgeon, orthodontist and dentofacial orthopaedician, endodontist, general dentist. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos The About page presents three images captioned "Welcoming Reception", "Advanced Treatment Rooms" and "Digital Technology", but none of them shows this clinic: the reception caption sits over a stock portrait of a smiling woman and the other two over generic aligner and intra-oral-scan stock. The only clinic-specific photographs on the site are the four dentists’ studio portraits. Verified in a browser on 2026-09-10. [s2] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic's own structured data publishes an offer catalogue — root canal treatment, dental implants, Invisalign, dental braces, teeth whitening — each pointing at its own /services/ page on the clinic's domain. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Telephone +960 7311555 and e-mail hello@oracaredental.mv are published in the site's own structured data; the ministry's 23.07.2026 list carries 7795878 / 9992235 and the same e-mail. [s1] [reg2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site declares og:locale en_US and is published in English only. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Structured data publishes both the postal address (Lot #10110, Halaveli Magu, Hulhumalé, Kaafu Atoll 23000, MV) and geo coordinates. [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 Settled in a browser on 2026-09-10: the homepage, the About page, the doctors page and the dental-implants service page were all rendered and read in full and none carries a figure, a range or a currency. The only price signal on the site is the coarse schema.org priceRange "$$", which is not a price list. [s1] [s2] [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
13 / 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 31 reviews, read live on 2026-09-10 from the clinic's own Google place record (verification pass). The place's own detail record does not render the individual reviews, so recency, owner replies and complaint patterns stay unset. Star histogram read in a browser on 2026-09-10 from the review-summary bars on the clinic’s own place page: 5★ 27 · 4★ 1 · 3★ 1 · 2★ 0 · 1★ 2. The five bars sum to 31, the published count, and their weighted mean is 4.65, matching the published rating. Two of the thirty-one reviews are one star and none is two stars, so a recurring complaint is arithmetically impossible; suspiciousReviewPatterns stays unset because only eight reviews are reachable and that criterion needs twenty. [sm] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review rendered on the place page on 2026-09-10 is two months old and written in the first person. Read in a browser; this is a floor, since Google renders its most-relevant sample rather than the newest reviews. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on the clinic's own Google listing on 2026-09-11: the practice has answered 3 of the 5 reviews shown there (31 published in total), most recently on 2026-01-29. One reply reads: "Thank you for the kind words and we are happy to hear it. Hope to see you again.". In the Google reading of 2026-10-02, 3 of the 10 reviews read carry an owner reply. [sm] [gm-replies] [oracare-dental-hulhumale-deepen] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram read on 2026-09-10 leaves two one-star reviews and no two-star reviews out of thirty-one, so three dated complaints about the same thing cannot exist. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Four five-star reviews, three of them without text, were posted on the same day (2026-07-05), but nothing else among the 10 reviews read points to manipulation, so no pattern is recorded. [oracare-dental-hulhumale-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's own structured data lists facebook.com/oracaredental.mv and instagram.com/oracaredental.mv as its profiles. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Oracare Dental Hulhumale" and "Oracare"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [oracare-dental-hulhumale-tripadvisor] [oracare-dental-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). [oracare-dental-hulhumale-platforms] [oracare-dental-hulhumale-platforms-2] [oracare-dental-hulhumale-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.

[s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

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. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 3 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-01-29. |
| 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: the clinic's published schema.org Dentist record read from its own site for address, coordinates, contacts, opening hours, social profiles and service catalogue; Google place record read live for rating and coordinates; licence 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. The site is a client-rendered single-page application, so the team page and any published prices could not be read automatically and are queued for a manual browser check. |
