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; the clinic's "pain free" implant page describes local techniques.

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 vident-clinic.be answered HTTP 200 on 2026-09-07 with real clinic content in four language versions. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The about page names Dr Viktor Petrov, Dr Byron Orlando Lozano Gutierrez, Dr Oumaima Edkhichi, Dr Miroslav Luzev, Dr Roa Elmadi, Dr Alicia Sendin Castelao and Dr Iskrena Petkova. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each named dentist carries a field of practice and, for several, years of experience, education and the technologies they use: oral surgery and implantology, endodontics, functional dentistry and TMJ, orthodontics, general and conservative dentistry. One entry publishes the practitioner's own RIZIV number. [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 treatment area with the VIDENT logo on the wall behind the chair. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes a treatment menu on its own site: dental implants with four sub-pages, porcelain veneers, orthodontics, root canal treatment, general dentistry, paediatric dentistry, crowns and bridges and autotransplantation. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The contact page publishes the street address, the telephone number, separate telephone-availability hours and a contact form; the number matches the Google listing. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site runs complete English, Dutch, French and Bulgarian versions with a language switcher on every page. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The street address is published on the contact page and repeated as a postal address in the site's schema.org markup. [s3] [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
2 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published The clinic publishes a permanent price for exactly one treatment - 2,500 EUR per implant - on its implant-cost page. That is a single service, below the three-service bar for a published price list, so the criterion is not met even though the implant figure itself is recorded below. [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed The implant-cost page states 2,500 EUR per implant and itemises what the figure includes: the titanium implant, guided surgical planning, all surgical materials, post-operative review and a custom crown. It is a standing page, not a promotion. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
17 / 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 4.5. The star histogram's weighted mean, 4.489, reproduces the published figure. [gm1] [gmpb] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Headline count read on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08 — the figure the automated channel never returned for this card. The histogram sums to the same figure: 184 five-star, 7 four-star, 2 three-star, 3 two-star and 23 one-star = 219. [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-11 (listing read 2026-09-25). [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": the owner has replied individually to all eight, including both critical accounts. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": two readable critical accounts on different subjects. A one-star from a patient who told the practice when booking that she needed her cavities filled on the day because she was about to travel and could not wait for a follow-up, and who says that is not what happened; and a two-star from a patient whose filling was replaced without the dentist explaining what he was doing, who found the result worse than before and felt processed rather than treated. One is about a booking expectation and the other about the treatment itself, so no repeated theme is established — though both contrast a fast, easy booking with the care that followed. One-star and two-star ratings together are 26 of 219, or 11.9 per cent of the base. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Browser 2026-09-08: histogram 184/7/2/3/23 with a mean of 4.489 against a published 4.5; a substantial one-star tail stands on the listing and is answered, dates run from four to nine months in the visible sample and the wording varies. No manipulation signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's Facebook page "Vident Clinic" posts its own dental-care updates, the latest on 29 May 2025 (checked 2026-10-02). [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-fb] [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-fb-2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "VIDENT Dental Clinic Antwerp" and "VIDENT"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02). [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-ta] [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-ta-2] [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-ta-3] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Doctoranytime has a practice page for this clinic at its address, listing its dentist Viktor Petrov; the practice page itself carries no reviews (checked 2026-10-02). [vident-dental-clinic-antwerp-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
15 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The about page lists CBCT digital imaging and intraoral scanning among the technologies used on site, and one dentist's entry names CBCT scans as part of his routine workflow. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) The clinic states it invests in "intraoral scanners and CBCT digital imaging" and describes guided surgical planning built on those scans. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implantology is the clinic's principal declared field, with five dedicated pages and a dentist whose stated specialty is oral surgery and implantology. [s1] [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Orthodontics has its own treatment page and a named practitioner presented as dentist-orthodontist with Invisalign and Spark certification. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery The clinic lists implantology and oral surgery together, including full-mouth rehabilitation, bone augmentation and guided surgery, and autotransplantation has its own page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Paediatric dentistry has its own treatment page in the clinic's own menu. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care An "Urgent" / "Dringend" page sits in the top navigation of every page, and the schema.org markup declares an emergency contact point. [s1] [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients The clinic runs its site in four languages including Bulgarian, presents itself as an international team of dentists from across Europe and beyond, and publishes an instalment-financing arrangement with a named partner. [s2] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ? | WhatsApp / LINE available No messenger contact is published on the pages read. | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken English is one of the four site languages and the clinic presents its team as multilingual. [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The contact page carries a form that distinguishes new from existing patients and invites a question before any visit. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatments are explained at length in plain language, and the implant-cost page itemises exactly what the published figure covers. [s4] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The contact page publishes opening hours Monday to Friday 9:00-18:00 and Saturday 10:00-17:00; Saturday opening is published clearly. Telephone availability is narrower (weekdays 9:30-12:00 and 13:00-16:00) and is published separately. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
7 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Belgium", "English speaking dentist Belgium", "dental implants Belgium", "emergency dentist Belgium", "Belgium dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Belgium Checked in the results captured 2026-09-07 for the canonical city query; neither the clinic's domain nor its name appears. [av1] | 0/1 |

| ✓ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Belgium The clinic's own urgent-care page appears in the results for the canonical city query, captured 2026-09-07. [av4] | 1/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: Belgium dental clinic for expats Query not run in the AI-visibility pass: the expats query was captured only for the first research city of each country, which for Belgium is Brussels. | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website The site carries a schema.org graph with Place, MedicalOrganization, WebSite and FAQPage nodes, including a postal address and an emergency contact point. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain takes ranks 1, 4, 5, 11 and 19 of 20 results for its name plus district, with booking-platform profiles filling most of the rest. A staging copy of the site on a vercel.app subdomain also ranks, which is worth tidying (web search 2026-09-07). [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Each treatment has its own URL, and implants alone have five: general, complex cases, costs and value, pain-free and immediate implants. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites checked: TripAdvisor — no; other review platforms — yes; Facebook — yes. |
| 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 2026-09-11). |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: doctena.be did not serve its pages to a real browser across the whole host, so the queued profile could not be read and the criterion stays null; the readable doctoranytime profile for the same practice was found and carries no reviews. |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass: place page opened, review count established at 219 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint reading (two critical accounts quoted) and manipulation reading recorded, premises photography settled. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (Belgium): home, about, contact and implant-cost pages read live; Google Maps place record read live for rating, address, telephone, categories and coordinates; two dentists matched in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register, one by name and one by the number the clinic publishes itself, with the register's disagreement on her qualification and work address 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. |
