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 Neither sedation nor general anaesthesia is mentioned on the clinic's own pages. [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
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Opened and read on 2026-09-10: a live site with about, services, team, blog, testimonials, gallery and contact pages, plus individual profile routes for each dentist. Body read, not just the status code. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own team page names five dentists - Dr. Saiqa Ahmad, Dr. Amjed Ali Khan, Dr. Tariq Ali, Prof. Dr. Arham Chohan and Prof. Dr. Abid Ashar - under the heading "Five dentists. Decades of international experience." [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each name carries qualifications and a role: DDS New York University, CEO and finance director, cosmetics / root canal / general dentistry; DDS New York University, director, restorative and cosmetic dentist; director and head of orthodontics with 35 years of practice; consultant paediatric and managing director; BDS, FDSRCS (England), MCPSHPE, oral and maxillofacial surgeon and dental implantologist. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The images on the clinic's own Google listing were downloaded at full size and looked at on 2026-09-11. The practice's own upload is an architectural rendering of the building rather than a photograph; the genuine photograph of the same building under its DENTAL PROFESSIONALS sign, with cars parked in front, was contributed by a visitor in February 2026. The listing records who uploaded each item: 1 by the practice itself and 3 by visitors. [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes its own services section covering implants, braces, paediatric dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, restorative and cosmetic work. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details A landline, a mobile, a WhatsApp link, the Gulberg II address and the opening hours stand in the header and footer of every page; the Google place record carries the same landline and the same 13-E Block H address. [s3] [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site is written in English throughout. The Google listing additionally carries an Urdu display name, the Urdu-script spelling of "Dental Professionals". [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The street address is published site-wide, the site links its own Google Maps place by CID, and the address matches the Punjab Healthcare Commission register entry. [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Checked the clinic's own channels on 2026-09-10: front page, about page, team page and the services and contact routes. No price, no range and no fee schedule, and no prices item in the navigation. [s1] [s2] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Hygiene work is offered but not priced. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed Fillings are offered but not priced. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No crown price published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed No implant price published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No imaging price published. [s1] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
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) Read from the clinic's Google place record on 2026-09-10 on both the English and the Urdu language surfaces, which returned the identical pair 4.0 / 75. The place record renders the name in Urdu on the Urdu surface, as "Dental Professionals" in Urdu script, and resolves to the same place identifier - one record read twice, not two places. [gm1] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Same reading, identical on the hl=en and hl=ur surfaces. [gm1] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-09 (listing read 2026-09-26). [dental-professionals-gulberg-lahore-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 15 reviews read, 12 of them dated within the last 24 months (newest 2026-10-01), carries an owner reply, and the reply block of the listing was readable. [dental-professionals-gulberg-lahore-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints Four of the five lowest-rated Google reviews concern overcharging and a money-first approach (2021-11 to 2025-06); 1–2★ are 22.4 % of 76 (1★ 16 / 2★ 1 / 3★ 2 / 4★ 7 / 5★ 50). [dental-professionals-gulberg-lahore-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Read on 2026-09-11. Four five-star reviews fall in two days, 11 and 12 April 2026, and all four describe the work of the same named clinician, three of them aligner treatment - a cluster worth stating plainly. Against it: every one of the five accounts read has a review history (four, three and three with two), so not one is a fresh single-review account; the texts are individually written with no phrase shared between them; and the histogram behind the published 4.0 is 16 one-star, 1 two-star, 2 three-star, 7 four-star and 49 five-star, so 25 per cent of this base sits below four stars and every bucket is filled. That is the opposite of a bought base. The reading is a group of one clinician's own patients reviewing in the same week, not manufactured reviews, so recorded as no suspicious pattern found. [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page, facebook.com/dentalprofessionalspk, from its site. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dental Professionals Lahore" and "Professionals Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [dental-professionals-gulberg-lahore-tripadvisor] [dental-professionals-gulberg-lahore-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms The clinic is listed with a patient-facing profile on oladoc.com and on marham.pk and qanomed.com, Pakistani booking directories that carry reviews; it also has a WhatClinic listing, which answered HTTP 403 to an automated read. Read live on 2026-09-10. Cited as evidence of presence only. [dir1] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic's own about page lists its diagnostic equipment: "digital dental imaging, orthopantomogram, cephalogram, intra-oral camera systems and lasers". An orthopantomogram is a dental X-ray machine, so on-site radiography is documented by the clinic itself. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) No cone-beam CT is stated on the clinic's own pages. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implants are a published service and the team includes a named dental implantologist. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics The team page names a head of orthodontics with 35 years of practice and braces are a published service. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery The team page names an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, FDSRCS (England), who is described as leading the practice's complex surgical cases. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry The team page names a consultant paediatric dentist and describes children's care as part of the practice. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Emergency care The word emergency appears on the site but the clinic publishes no emergency service or out-of-hours route. Left unassessed. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients Nothing in the clinic's own channels documents experience with patients from abroad, although two of its directors trained in the United States. [s1] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available The clinic publishes a wa.me link to +92 319 6835843 with a pre-filled enquiry message. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The site and the team roster are written in English, and two of the named dentists hold DDS degrees from New York University. [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The site carries a Book Appointment route on every page and offers WhatsApp enquiry. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Services and the role of each dentist are explained in plain English, and the site keeps a blog and a testimonials section. [s1] [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic publishes its own week in the header of every page: Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday opening satisfies the weekend limb of the criterion, which asks for evening and/or weekend opening published clearly. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Pakistan", "English speaking dentist Pakistan", "dental implants Pakistan", "emergency dentist Pakistan", "Pakistan dental clinic for expats".
| ✓ | Mentioned for: best dentist Pakistan The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-10 and dentalprofessionals.pk appears in the returned top ten. [bsq1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Pakistan The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear in the returned top ten. [bsq2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Pakistan The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear in the returned top ten. [bsq3] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Pakistan The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear in the returned top ten. [bsq4] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: Pakistan dental clinic for expats The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear in the returned top ten. [bsq5] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website Read the front page, the about page and the team page on 2026-09-10: no schema.org entity of any kind for the practice was found in their JSON-LD, and no microdata. The site publishes no structured data about itself. [s1] [s2] [s3] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality In the name-and-city search run on 2026-09-10 the clinic's own domain holds the first result and three of the first ten; the rest are its own Facebook and Instagram profiles and Pakistani directories. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages The site keeps individual routes per dentist and per service section rather than one combined page. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
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: R-05517 - Dental Professionals Clinic, registered healthcare establishment with a provisional licence (status Reg/PL), registered 2015-04-17, Punjab Healthcare Commission register of healthcare establishments, District Lahore (Found on 2026-09-10 in the whole Lahore district register pulled from the Punjab Healthcare Commission's public JSON API. The row reads Registration_Number R-05517, HCE_Name 'Dental Professionals Clinic', type Dental Clinic, Private, License_Status 'Reg/PL', Registration_Date 2015-04-17, address '13 - E, Block H, College Road, Gulberg - II, Lahore' - the clinic's own published address - responsible practitioner 'Saiqa Ahmad', Council_Registration_Number 1437-D. Two things are recorded rather than smoothed over. First, an exact lookup of 1437-D in the PMDC practitioners register on the same day returns SAIQA ROOHI, father Amjad Hussain, a current dental registration - a different family name from the one the provincial register and the clinic publish, so the join is by number and not by name. Second, a second establishment called 'Punjab Dental Professionals, Johar Town, Lahore' (R-28203) exists in the same register at 882-R1 Johar Town under a different responsible practitioner; it is a different clinic and must not be conflated with this one. The register publishes no snapshot date, so the date of the lookup is the reference date; 'Reg/PL' is the middle tier and is not the full regular licence.) [reg3]

Red Flags
- low Contradictory public information (-1 pts) — The clinic's own two pages disagree about who works here. Its team page names five dentists and says so in a heading, while its front page republishes its Google reviews under the line that every review below is a verified patient story pulled from its Google Business profile - and four of the five reviews shown there credit treatment to a sixth named clinician who is on neither page's roster, one of them saying she has been their dentist for nearly a decade and three of them describing aligner treatment with her. Recorded as low because nothing about price or qualifications is misstated and the clinician concerned is praised, not complained about; the likeliest reading is simply a team page that has not been kept up to date. [s1] [s2] [gm1]
Red-flag penalty applied: -1 points (capped at -20).
Data We Could Not Verify

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found; a repeated complaint among the lowest-rated reviews. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 5 reviews were checked for owner replies; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-09). |
| 2026-09-11 | A contradiction between the clinic's own pages was recorded: the team page names five dentists, while the reviews the clinic republishes on its own front page credit a sixth named clinician with years of treatment here. She is not added to the licence table, because the clinic publishes no qualification or registration number for her and a patient's words are not a roster entry. The quotation from the team-page heading was also corrected to the exact wording on the page. |
| 2026-09-11 | The review-pattern row was settled after re-reading the listing: the star histogram, every review Google renders with its exact date, and each reviewer's account history. The reading and what it does not cover are written into the row itself. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputation review: the clinic's own Google listing was read again, this time with its star histogram, its reviews with exact dates and any replies from the practice, its published opening week and its photographs, which were downloaded at full size and looked at. On this card the age of the newest readable review was dated exactly and recorded; the practice was found not to answer reviews on its own listing; the photographs on the clinic's listing were downloaded and looked at, and they show the premises. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, about and team pages were read; the Google place record was read automatically on both language surfaces, which also yielded its Urdu display name; four of the five named dentists were looked up in the PMDC practitioners register, two of them under alternative spellings, and the fifth was left explicitly unchecked with the reason; the establishment was found in the Punjab Healthcare Commission register as R-05517, with the name mismatch on its council number and a same-name neighbouring establishment both recorded. Review-side fields were left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
