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 The site mentions "sedation options" without saying whether this is general anaesthesia or deep sedation, or conscious sedation. [s1] [kensington-dental-implant-centre-islamabad-g6]
Summary
Three-dentist practice in F-7/2 open since 2014, led by Dr Khurram Baber, an oral surgeon and implantologist who also holds UK registration. The English-language site publishes the team with their degrees, the service range, opening hours and a 24/7 emergency line, but no prices. Several of the reviews it reproduces are from patients travelling from abroad. The practice is not listed in the Islamabad Healthcare Regulatory Authority register of registered establishments.
Strengths
- Information Transparency: 20 of 20 points.
- AI & Search Visibility: 8 of 10 points.
Weaknesses
- Price Transparency: 0 of 15 verifiable points (missing: prices or price ranges published; cleaning price listed; filling price listed; crown price listed; implant price listed; consultation price listed; x-ray / imaging price listed)
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
20 / 20
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 Khurram Baber (founder and principal dentist), Maria Khalid (senior dentist), Fatima Shahzad (associate dentist), each with degrees. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed [s1] [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. Two show the practice — its reception desk under the branded Kensington Dental & Implant Centre wall, with a clinician at the desk — and both were uploaded by the practice itself. The listing records who uploaded each item: 4 by the practice itself and 0 by visitors. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Landline, opening hours and sector published; the street number is on the Google listing rather than in the site text that was read. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The site states the F-7/2 location and links a Find Us on Map page; the full street address is on the Google listing. [s1] [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 Homepage, services page, about page and the root-canal treatment page were read; the site discusses payment methods and instalment plans but publishes no figures. [s1] [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
15 / 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] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-10 [sm] | 1/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest of the 5 reviews readable on the clinic's own Google listing is dated 2026-06-09, 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 40 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 5 of the 5 reviews Google renders on the clinic's own Google listing (out of 40 in all), read on 2026-09-11. All five carry an answer, and three of the five are written at length for the individual patient. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram published on the clinic's own Google listing reads none at one star, none at two, none at three, 1 at four and 39 at five, summing to 40 — the same total the listing prints beside the rating, and a weighted mean of 4.97. Not a single 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 none at one star, none at two, none at three, 1 at four and 39 at five, summing to 40, and its weighted mean of 4.97 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 are spread from April 2024 to June 2026 and two come from accounts with 122 and 11 reviews behind them; the base also carries a four-star review, so it is not a flat block. 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 Facebook page "Kensington Dental and Implant Centre Islamabad" (2,970 followers) with posts up to 2026-10-01, linked from the clinic's website. [kensington-dental-implant-centre-islamabad-presence] [kensington-dental-implant-centre-islamabad-presence-2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Kensington Dental & Implant Centre Islamabad" and "Kensington Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [kensington-dental-implant-centre-islamabad-tripadvisor] [kensington-dental-implant-centre-islamabad-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
