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]
Summary
Consultant-led clinic on the ground floor of the Shapes Executive gym in Gulberg III, founded by a Manchester-trained dental surgeon who ran a London practice for twenty years and who also founded Perfect Teeth in Johar Town - a link he publishes himself. Its published roster is unusually senior for its size: a head of prosthodontics at CMH, an FCPS specialist in operative dentistry, a consultant orthodontist, a periodontology professor and a general dentist, each with degrees listed. It is entered in the Punjab Healthcare Commission register as Smile POD Dental Clinic at 50-E-1 Gulberg-III with a provisional licence, and the responsible practitioner named there resolves to a current PMDC dental registration. The clinic states it treats overseas patients and publishes a services index, but no prices and no opening hours of its own.

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 Opened and read on 2026-09-10: a live site with an about page, a services page, an FAQ and testimonials page, a booking page and a contact page. Body read, not just the status code. One route in its own navigation, /our-team/, answers 404. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own about page names Dr Qazafi Khalil (founder), Dr. Abdul Mueed Zaigham, Dr. Quratulain Manzoor, Prof. Dr. M. Nadeem Pasha, Dr. Farhan Zaib and Dr. Areeb Ahmed. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each name carries degrees and a field: BDS Manchester 1998, Invisalign-certified and Bioclear Level 4; BDS, FCPS Prosthodontics, head of the prosthodontics department at CMH; BDS, BSc, RDS, FCPS Operative Dentistry; PhD Periodontology, MSc Implant Dentistry; BDS, RDS, FCPS II Orthodontics, MPhil, consultant orthodontist; BDS (LM&DC), general dentist with a special interest in aesthetic smile design. [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. All were uploaded by the practice and all three show the premises: the shopfront by day and by night under its own Perfect Teeth's SMILE POD sign with the service board, and one treatment room. The listing records who uploaded each item: 4 by the practice itself and 0 by visitors. [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes its own services page covering whitening, smile makeover, aligners and braces, implants, extractions and general dentistry. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The mobile number, an e-mail address and the Shapes Executive Gym address stand in the header of every page and agree with the Google place record, which carries +92 308 4582111 and the same Gulberg III location. [s1] [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 "Smile Pod Dental Clinic". [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The street address is published in the header of every page and matches both the Google place record and the Punjab Healthcare Commission register entry (50-E-1, Gulberg-III). [s1] | 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 Checked the clinic's own channels on 2026-09-10: front page, about page and services page. No price, no range and no fee schedule, and no prices item in the navigation. The site does advertise free consultations for children's braces as a standing offer, but a free-consultation claim on its own is not a price list. [s1] [s2] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Hygiene work is offered but not priced. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed Fillings are offered but not priced. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No crown price published. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed No implant price published. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The front page advertises free consultations for children's braces, but no general consultation fee or free-consultation statement covering the practice is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No imaging price published. [s3] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
13 / 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) 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 4.9 / 60. The Urdu surface renders the name as "Smile Pod Dental Clinic" in Urdu script and resolves to the same place identifier. [gm1] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | 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 2026-01-01 (listing read 2026-09-26). [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-gbp-2026-09-26] | 1.5/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only older owner replies were found: 1 of the 10 reviews read carry one, the latest dated 2023-03-12, and none to a review from the last 12 months. [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram published on the clinic's own Google listing reads 2 at one star, none at two, none at three, none at four and 58 at five, summing to 60 — the same total the listing prints beside the rating, and a weighted mean of 4.87. Only 2 reviews in the whole base sit 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. The two are also the only reviews in the base below five stars. [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The star histogram published on the clinic's own Google listing reads 2 at one star, none at two, none at three, none at four and 58 at five, summing to 60, 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 reviews read run from 2021 to 2024 and come from accounts holding 1 to 6 reviews; they describe different treatments and different clinicians and share no phrasing. 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. [gm1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page, facebook.com/Smilepodpk, from its site, alongside Instagram. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Smile Pod Dental Clinic Lahore" and "Pod Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-tripadvisor] [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile of the clinic on oladoc, Marham, WhatClinic or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-02). [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-platforms] [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-platforms-2] [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-platforms-3] [smile-pod-dental-clinic-gulberg-platforms-4] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
13 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic's own pages describe dental radiography as part of its diagnostic work. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) No cone-beam CT is stated on the clinic's own pages, although the roster includes a consultant with an MSc in implant dentistry. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implants are a published service and the roster names a periodontist and implantologist with an MSc in implant dentistry. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Aligners and braces are published services and the roster names a consultant orthodontist with FCPS II in orthodontics. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Extractions are a published service. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry The clinic's own front page is headed for kids' braces and consultations, and the roster's consultant orthodontist is described as treating children and teenagers from the clinic's beginning. [s1] [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic publishes a dedicated emergency route on its own front page: "Emergency? Get Help Now by Calling Our Emergency Service". [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients The clinic's own about page addresses overseas patients, and its founder publishes twenty years of practice in London as part of what the clinic offers. [s2] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available The clinic publishes WhatsApp as a contact route in its own words on the front page: "Instant Support - AI chatbot and WhatsApp assistance available anytime for immediate dental help." [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The site and the roster are written in English, and the founder practised for twenty years in London. [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The clinic publishes a Book An Appointment route and advertises free consultations for children's orthodontics. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations The about page and the services page explain the treatments and who provides them, in plain English. [s2] [s3] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic's own Google Business Profile publishes its week: Monday 3–9 PM, Tuesday 3–9 PM, Wednesday 3–9 PM, Thursday 3–9 PM, Friday 3–9 PM, Saturday 3–9 PM, Sunday Closed. Three to nine in the evening, six days a week with Sunday closed — evening opening and a full Saturday. The practice's own site publishes no hours anywhere, so the profile is the only channel that carries them. [s1] [gm1] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
6 / 10
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; the clinic does not appear in the returned top ten. [bsq1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | 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 and smilepod.pk is the first result in the returned top ten, through its own overseas-patients and dental-tourism page. [bsq5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website The pages carry schema.org JSON-LD whose principal entity is a combined Hospital and Organization node for the practice, together with Service, Offer, Person and Article nodes - business markup rather than only WebPage and WebSite nodes, although Hospital is a coarse type for a dental clinic. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality In the name-and-city search run on 2026-09-10 the clinic's own domain holds the first three results and five of the first ten; the rest are the founder's LinkedIn page, a consultant's own site and Marham profile, and one unrelated directory page. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Individual treatment routes for whitening, smile makeover, aligners and braces, implants and general dentistry, plus a separate online-services page. [s3] | 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-72473 - Smile POD Dental Clinic, registered healthcare establishment with a provisional licence (status Reg/PL), registered 2022-03-03, 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-72473, HCE_Name 'Smile POD Dental Clinic', type Dental Clinic, Private, License_Status 'Reg/PL', Registration_Date 2022-03-03, address '50-E-1, Gulberg-III, Lahore' - the clinic's own published address - responsible practitioner 'Summaya Ibrahim', Council_Registration_Number 14232-D, which resolves by exact lookup in the PMDC practitioners register to SUMMAYA IBRAHIM, father Ch. Allah Rakha, a current dental registration valid to 09/05/2028. Recorded as a cross-reference rather than silently: the same dentist is named on the team page of SmileOn Dental in Johar Town, so she works at more than one Lahore practice. The register publishes no snapshot date, so the date of the lookup is the reference date; 'Reg/PL' is the middle of the Commission's three tiers and is not the full regular licence.) [reg3]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites re-read on 2026-10-02: no profile on the review platforms checked. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 5 reviews were checked for owner replies; review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-01-01). |
| 2026-09-11 | These two cards are two premises of one brand, kept separate because they are separate clinics: different addresses in different parts of Lahore, separate Google listings with their own hours and their own review bases, and each scored only on what it publishes itself. The link is stated so the two are not read as independent opinions of the same market: Smile Pod's own shopfront sign reads "Perfect Teeth's SMILE POD", the Perfect Teeth site describes its Lahore studio as its founder's first branch outside the country, two consultants appear on both rosters, and the same named dentist turns up in the reviews of both. |
| 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 practice was found not to answer reviews on its own listing; the star distribution and the readable reviews were checked for signs of manipulation and none was found; the photographs on the clinic's listing were downloaded and looked at, and they show the premises; the opening week published in the clinic's own Google Business Profile was read and the hours criterion settled on it. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, about and services pages were read and the /our-team/ route in its own navigation was found to answer 404; the Google place record was read automatically on both language surfaces, which also yielded its Urdu display name; all six named dentists were looked up in the PMDC practitioners register, two of them under several forms; the establishment was found in the Punjab Healthcare Commission register as R-72473 and its council number joined back to the PMDC register, revealing that the responsible practitioner also appears on SmileOn Dental's roster. The shared founder with Perfect Teeth in Johar Town was recorded on both cards. Review-side fields, the messenger field and the opening week were left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
