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 only sedation the site describes is nitrous oxide, and it appears in a general patient-education glossary ("Many of our offices offer this type of sedation"), not as a claim about this clinic. Inhalation sedation keeps the patient awake in any case, so it does not meet the general-anaesthesia / deep-sedation definition, and no general anaesthesia is documented anywhere on the site. [s3]

Information Transparency
13 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed The site's About block names Dr. Satheesh (BDS) and Dr. Rajkumar (MDS, orthodontist) by one name each; no fuller name is published. [s1] [vivadent-dental-care-male-names-2026-10-16] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos The site’s hero image is a computer-generated tooth-shaped island and its four service tiles are the unedited template placeholders showcase01–showcase04. No photograph of the premises, the team or the equipment appears anywhere on the homepage, the services pages or the contact page. Checked in a browser on 2026-09-10. [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Four grouped catalogues — general dentistry, oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry and other services — each with named individual treatments. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Corrected on 2026-09-10 by the verification pass, which opened the Contact page the earlier read had only seen in the navigation: it publishes the full address ("Nashaathu Villa, 1st Floor, Nirolhu Magu, Male' Maldives"), two phone numbers ((00960) 3005737 and 7652179) and an e-mail form. 3005737 also matches the ministry's 23.07.2026 list, the clinic's Facebook page and the live Google place record; the HEMS directory records no phone for the facility. [s2] [reg2] [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Address and map published The Contact page publishes the full street address and it matches the ministry register and the Google place, but no map and no map link is embedded on it or anywhere else on the site. Read on 2026-09-10. [s2] | 0/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
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.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) as of 2026-09-26; previously 4.6 [vivadent-dental-care-male-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-26; previously 9 [vivadent-dental-care-male-gbp-2026-09-26] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review rendered on the place page on 2026-09-10 is two months old. Read in a browser; eight of the nine reviews were visible, so this is close to a complete reading rather than a bare floor. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 8 reviews were read (5 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. [vivadent-dental-care-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram read on 2026-09-10 leaves one one-star review and no two-star reviews out of nine, so three dated complaints about the same thing cannot exist. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Only 8 Google reviews could be read for this listing (10 on the listing), fewer than the 10 needed to assess review patterns. [vivadent-dental-care-male-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence facebook.com/vivadent.mv, carrying the same phone number 300-5737 as the ministry register. [sq1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Vivadent Dental Care Male" and "Vivadent Maldives"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05). [vivadent-dental-care-male-tripadvisor] [vivadent-dental-care-male-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). [vivadent-dental-care-male-platforms] [vivadent-dental-care-male-platforms-2] [vivadent-dental-care-male-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |

6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ? | WhatsApp / LINE available | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The Contact page carries a working "Send an Email" enquiry form (name, e-mail, subject, message), so a question can be put to the clinic before travelling to it. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Services are grouped and described in plain language, with a stated aim of "changing the way people feel about dentistry". [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Read live on 2026-09-10 from the clinic's own Google Business Profile: Saturday to Thursday 10:30-23:00, Friday closed — evening cover on all six days of the Maldivian working week. The clinic's own site publishes an address and two phone numbers but no opening week, so the Business Profile is the only channel of the clinic's own that publishes one. [sm] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
2.5 / 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".

| ✗ | Structured data on website No JSON-LD anywhere. The Contact page emits the Joomla component's default microdata (schema.org/Person and schema.org/PostalAddress); there is no LocalBusiness or Dentist markup and nothing that describes the clinic as a business. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality The site ranks first for its own brand name but appears in none of the five canonical Malé queries. [sqbest] [sq1] | 1/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Individual pages exist per treatment (dental implants, root canal therapy, crowns and bridges, orthodontic treatment, and others) under four service groups. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Dentist names reassessed on 2026-10-16 under the clarified rule (methodology 1.4.2): a name counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register. The clinic names its dentists by first name only, so dentist names no longer count. |
| 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: with 9 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet; Google rating 4.2 (was 4.6) and review count 10 (was 9) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-10 | Editorial gate, 2026-09-10: the review-count note counted the index at fourteen clinics; a fifteenth, VitalCare Dental, was added to this index on the same date. This card still carries the smallest review base of the fifteen. |
| 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: the clinic's website read for its service catalogue, named dentists and founding year; Google place record read live for name, category, rating, address and coordinates; licence, licensee and professional count read from the Ministry of Health HEMS live establishments directory and cross-checked against the ministry's 23.07.2026 list. Review count, recency, owner replies and complaint patterns left unset — the automated place record does not carry them. |
