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.
Summary
Multidisciplinary practice in Ganshoren where each practitioner works in a single field: invisible orthodontics, paediatric orthodontics, periodontology, prosthetic dentistry and cosmetic dentistry. The site runs in English, French and Dutch and names its practitioners with their fields; four of them appear in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register with this address, the fifth being registered at Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc. The fees page explains at length why the clinic does not apply government-set tariffs but publishes no amounts.

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 ident-clinic.be answered HTTP 200 on 2026-09-07 with real clinic content in three languages. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The team page names Varsik Hakopian, Dorian Gaudy, Quentin Dasnoy, Asma Makni and Antonino Caldara, and the navigation also names Achot Hakopian. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each named practitioner carries a field on the same page: invisible orthodontics, periodontology, orthodontics for children, and prosthetic dentistry; the clinic states that every team member specialises in only one field. [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 one of this practice's own treatment rooms at Avenue des Gloires Nationales — its chair, unit, cabinetry and window. Taking it from the place record answers the criterion without having to judge whether the site's image gallery and 360-degree tour are stock. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes a treatment menu on its own site: orthodontics with four sub-treatments, dental implants, general dentistry, prosthetics and cosmetic work, teeth whitening, veneers, crowns, paediatric dentistry, endodontics and gumshields. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The site carries a contact page and a click-to-call button on every page; the telephone matches the Google listing. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site runs complete English, French and Dutch versions with a language switcher on every page. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The clinic publishes a contact page for its Ganshoren address; the same street address is recorded as the practitioners' work address in the RIZIV/INAMI register and matches the Google listing. [s4] [reg1] | 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 clinic has a dedicated fees page. It explains why materials and technique cost more and states plainly that the clinic does not apply government-regulated fees, adding that supplementary insurance reimburses roughly 60 per cent of visits and preventive care. No amount or range is published anywhere on it. [s5] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
18.5 / 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 4.8. The star histogram's weighted mean, 4.788, reproduces the published figure. [gm1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08: the headline reads 198 and the histogram sums to the same figure (185 five-star, 1 four-star, 3 three-star, 1 two-star, 8 one-star). [gm1] [gmpb] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-24 (listing read 2026-09-25). [ident-clinic-ganshoren-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": one of the eight carries an owner reply — minimal but demonstrable, and there is no criticism in the visible sample left unanswered. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": no review below five stars surfaced and no repeated theme is readable. One-star and two-star ratings together are 9 of 198, or 4.5 per cent of the base. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Browser 2026-09-08: histogram 185/1/3/1/8 with a mean of 4.788 against a published 4.8; the tail is genuine, the dates run from four months to nine years and the accounts describe orthodontic courses of different lengths. No manipulation signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The page answered HTTP 200 on 2026-09-07 under the title "IDent Clinic". [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "iDent Clinic Brussels" and "iDent"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02). [ident-clinic-ganshoren-ta] [ident-clinic-ganshoren-ta-2] [ident-clinic-ganshoren-ta-3] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Browser 2026-09-10: the WhatClinic profile for this clinic carries 3 verified patient reviews averaging 4.7, dated 2017 to 2018, together with a published price list. [ident-clinic-ganshoren-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |

| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the WhatClinic profile queued earlier for a browser check was opened in a real browser and carries verified patient reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves from null to true. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the 198-review count confirmed against the histogram; recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded; premises photography settled from the profile's own lead image; the published week read and full Saturday opening found. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: review count read live from the Google place record; the number of the clinic's practitioners the register places at this address corrected from five to four, consistent with the card's own licence row for Dorian Gaudy; all five register records re-read by number and matched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (Belgium): home, team, clinic, contact and fees pages read live; Google Maps place record read live for rating, address, telephone, categories and coordinates; Facebook page liveness confirmed; five named practitioners matched in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register by postcode search on 1083 and by name, and confirmed by single-record lookup on their provider numbers; five canonical visibility queries taken from the central capture of 2026-09-07. Review count, histogram, recency, owner replies, opening hours, premises photos and third-party review profiles left null and queued for a manual browser check. |
