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
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] [sm] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr Ali Tahir, with a dedicated biography page; the clinic states he is acting dean of dentistry and head of oral pathology at the PMC Dental Institute, Faisalabad Medical University / Allied Hospital. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Oral pathology has its own page; the lead dentist's specialisation and academic post are published. [s1] [s3] | 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. Three were uploaded by the practice; the lead image is one of its treatment rooms, chair and unit in view, with a framed photograph on the wall. The listing records who uploaded each item: 3 by the practice itself and 1 by visitors. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The treatment-cost table doubles as the service list: fillings, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, scaling, whitening, extractions, orthodontics and aligners. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Landline, WhatsApp number and summer/winter opening hours on the homepage. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The site publishes a Find Us map link rather than the street address in text; the address is on the Google listing and in the Punjab Healthcare Commission register. [s1] [sm] | 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 A standing Treatment Costs page in rupees with about seventeen line items across fillings, tooth replacement, cleaning, extraction, braces and crowns. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Scaling 11,000. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Zirconomer 7,000; silver filling 7,000; laser filling 8,000. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed PFM 18,000; E-max 24,000; zirconia 30,000. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Implant 80,000. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The cost table has no consultation or examination line. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed The cost table has no radiography line. [s2] | 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) as of 2026-09-10 [sm] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-10 [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest of the 5 reviews readable on the clinic's own Google listing is dated 2025-12-09, read on 2026-09-11. Each review carries an exact timestamp, so the date is a reading rather than Google's rounded "months ago" label. Google shows a selection of 5 of the 55 reviews rather than the newest first, so this is a floor: the latest review is at least this recent and may well be more recent. [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Replies from the practice sit under 4 of the 5 reviews Google renders on the clinic's own Google listing (out of 55 in all), read on 2026-09-11. Four of the five carry an answer — and the most important of them answers the single one-star review in the whole base, the day after it was posted, by giving a telephone number and asking the patient to make contact. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram published on the clinic's own Google listing reads 1 at one star, none at two, none at three, 3 at four and 51 at five, summing to 55 — the same total the listing prints beside the rating, and a weighted mean of 4.87. Only one review in the whole base sits below three stars, so the threshold this criterion asks for — three or more dated reviews by different authors about the same thing — cannot be reached. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The star histogram published on the clinic's own Google listing reads 1 at one star, none at two, none at three, 3 at four and 51 at five, summing to 55, and its weighted mean of 4.87 reproduces the rating the listing prints, so the published rating is the arithmetic of the published reviews and not a figure set by hand. The five read run from November 2020 to December 2025 and come from accounts holding 1 to 8 reviews. One of the five is the one-star review, rendered in full. What this check can see is the shape of the distribution, the exact dates and the review history of the accounts; it cannot see reviews Google does not render. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The homepage links a Facebook page for the practice's lead dentist. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dentistry32 Faisalabad" and "Dentistry32 Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [dentistry32-faisalabad-tripadvisor] [dentistry32-faisalabad-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms WhatClinic profile "Dentistry 32", Faisalabad, with 1 verified patient review (5.0, November 2020), under an earlier Sargodha Road address of the same practice. [dentistry32-faisalabad-platforms] | 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 homepage names digital imaging among the equipment. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Orthodontic braces and clear aligners are priced on the cost table. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Surgical extraction is priced on the cost table. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Emergency care | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available A WhatsApp number is published beside the landline. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Clear service explanations The site is four pages and mostly a cost table; treatments are named but not explained. | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic publishes its hours on its own site as a summer and a winter timetable: 6 to 10 p.m. from March to October and 5 to 9 p.m. from November to February. Those are evening hours in both halves of the year, which is what this criterion asks for. The clinic's Google Business Profile did not return an opening-hours grid on the day of the check, so the site is the channel this rests on. [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".

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-08273 (Punjab Healthcare Commission - registered with provisional licence, Reg/PL) (Punjab Healthcare Commission register of healthcare establishments, Faisalabad district pulled in full on 2026-09-10 (5,419 establishments, 110 typed Dental Clinic): R-08273, Dentistry32, Dental Clinic, License_Status Reg/PL, registered 2013-05-01, Main Zulfiqar Ali Shahid Road near Riaz Hospital, Lasani Pulli, responsible practitioner Dr. Ali Tahir, council registration 8590-D. Punjab distinguishes three tiers - Reg, Reg/PL and Reg/PL/RL - and this establishment holds the middle one, a provisional licence, not the full regular licence. The register publishes no snapshot date of its own, so the date of the lookup is used.) [reg0]
