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 General anaesthesia or deep sedation is not mentioned on the pages read.

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
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website antwerpdentalcare.be answered HTTP 200 on 2026-09-07 with real clinic content in Dutch. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The team page names five dentists - Arnout Dierick, Vlad Ionescu, Behnam Adami, Catalin Diaconu and Andreea Balo - plus three assistants and a receptionist. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The team page states a qualification for two of the five named dentists - the MDS degree beside Arnout Dierick and Vlad Ionescu. No field of practice is named for any of them, so this is the weakest form the criterion accepts. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Settled in a browser on 2026-09-08 from the clinic's own Google Business Profile: the lead owner photograph shows this practice's own interior on the eighth floor at Tavernierkaai 2, with the Antwerp harbour front visible through its window. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes six treatment categories on its own site: general and conservative dentistry, crown and bridge work, removable prostheses, aesthetics, endodontics and paediatric dentistry. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Telephone +32 3 369 61 94 and info@antwerpdentalcare.be are published in the header of every page and on the practical-information page; the telephone matches the Google listing. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site exists only in Dutch; no language switcher and no English pages were found on any page read. [s1] [s2] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The practical-information page publishes the address down to the floor, together with parking, taxi and tram directions, and the address is repeated as a postal address in the site's schema.org markup. [s3] | 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 The practical-information page has a payment section but publishes no amount, range or fee list, and no fee page exists in the site's navigation. [s3] | 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 [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [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) Re-read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08 and unchanged at 4.4. The star histogram's weighted mean, 4.390, reproduces the published figure. [gm1] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08: the headline reads 41 and the histogram sums to the same figure (32 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star, 5 one-star). [gm1] [gmpb] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-08-28 (listing read 2026-09-25). [antwerp-dental-care-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": the owner has replied to four of the eight, including all three critical accounts. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": three readable critical accounts on three different subjects — a one-star from a patient who left work early to reach an appointment the practice had scheduled and found the dentist on holiday with nobody expecting her; a one-star advising against the clinic on price; and a three-star that is broadly positive but reports two teeth left unpolished. No two share a theme. One-star and two-star ratings together are 5 of 41, or 12.2 per cent of the base. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Browser 2026-09-08: histogram 32/3/1/0/5 with a mean of 4.390 against a published 4.4; a genuine critical tail is present and answered, and the visible dates run across a year. No manipulation signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's Facebook page has had no post since January 2023 and has no reviews; its website is the live channel (checked 2026-10-02). [antwerp-dental-care-fb] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Antwerp Dental Care" and "Dental Care"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02). [antwerp-dental-care-ta] [antwerp-dental-care-ta-2] [antwerp-dental-care-ta-3] | 0/0.5 |

| ✗ | Emergency care The practical-information page answers out-of-hours pain by pointing to the regional on-call service on 0903 3969 rather than to any service of its own; the practice itself works strictly by appointment on weekdays. [s3] | 0/1.5 |

| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Published opening is Monday to Friday 9:00-17:30, with Saturday and Sunday closed; the weekend number the clinic gives is the regional on-call service, not its own opening. [s2] [s3] | 0/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites checked: TripAdvisor — no; other review platforms — no; Facebook — no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-28). |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass: the 41-review count confirmed against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint reading (three critical accounts quoted) and manipulation reading recorded, premises photography settled. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: review count read live from the Google place record; the count of named dentists the register places at this address corrected from three to two, consistent with the card's own licence rows. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (Belgium): home, team and practical-information pages read live; Google Maps place record read live for rating, address, telephone, category and coordinates; four named dentists matched in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register by name and by postcode search on 2000, with two address disagreements recorded in the licensing block; four canonical visibility queries taken from the central capture of 2026-09-07, the fifth not run for this city. Review count, histogram, recency, owner replies, premises photos and third-party review profiles left null and queued for a manual browser check. |
