Information Transparency
20 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website The branch shares the brand's site at smiles-dentalcare.com, which loads with current content on its homepage; nearly every inner page it links to returns a server error (see other criteria). [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Facebook posts in 2026 name visiting orthodontic specialist Dr. Ramshad A.R. at both branches; the brand's doctors page names Dr. Adila Wajeeh, registered at this branch. [fb1] [wp1] | 3/3 |

| ✓ | Real clinic photos Four photographs uploaded to the clinic's own Google listing in November 2024 show a fitted treatment room with a dental chair, a waiting area, a numbered "Dental Suite 1" corridor and the storefront glass door printed with the clinic's own signage, hours and services — genuine premises photographs, unlike the two stock images on the shared brand website. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The shared homepage lists nine named services with descriptions; a 2024 photograph of this branch's own storefront additionally prints its own service list: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Cosmetic Dentistry, Conservative Dentistry, Endodontics, Prosthodontics and Implantology, Periodontics, and Scale and Polishing. [s1] [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The branch's own storefront, photographed on its Google listing on 2026-09-29, prints "Tel 339 1040" and "WhatsApp/Viber 739 1040", matching the phone number on the same Google listing (+960 339-1040). [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The clinic's Google listing gives the street (Lansimoo Magu) with coordinates; the branch's own storefront photograph confirms the same brand signage at this location. [sm] | 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 price list on any page or post of the site or on its Facebook page; the only figures are two Ramadan promotions that ran until 18 February 2026. [s1] [wp1] [wp2] [fb1] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed No standing scaling price; scaling "from MVR 350" appeared only in a Ramadan promotion on Facebook that ended on 18 February 2026. [s1] [wp1] [wp2] [fb1] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
9.5 / 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.

| ✗ | No recurring complaints Two independent reviewers describe being made to wait despite a confirmed or empty appointment slot: Flower gal (1★, 2025-08-03, told on arrival her booking was actually an hour later) and zero devilz (1★, 2025-02-12, made to wait about 45 minutes with no other patients present). [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 10 Google reviews read (dated 2025-01-14 to 2026-09-14, from accounts with 1–288 reviews) show no burst of five-star reviews and no repeated opening wording; star histogram 1★ 3 / 2★ 0 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 0 / 5★ 9. [smiles-dental-care-hulhumale-deepen] | 2/2 |
