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

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
4 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website Confirmed in a browser on 2026-09-07. The owner-verified Google Business Profile panel carries an address row, an hours row, a telephone row and a plus-code row, and no website row at all. The clinic publishes nothing on the web of its own. [gmpI5b] | 0/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed The only channel the clinic publishes is its Google Business profile, which names no dentist. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Real clinic photos The clinic publishes no photograph of its premises. It has no website, and its owner-verified Google Business Profile - its only channel - carries a single photograph alongside Google's own Street View imagery, with no interior gallery of any kind. Read in a browser on 2026-09-07. The profile being owner-verified makes this a choice rather than an absence of opportunity: the clinic could add photographs to it and has not. [gmpI5b] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Service list published Confirmed in a browser on 2026-09-07 and now on direct inspection rather than on an automated read. The place page carries only three tabs - Overview, Reviews, About - and no Services section, product list or description. Nothing beyond the category Dental clinic is published, on the only channel the clinic has. [gmpI5b] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Telephone number and street address published on the clinic's own Google Business profile. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ? | English website version | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [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 No price information on the clinic's only published channel. [sm] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [sm] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [sm] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
10.5 / 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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 14 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 1 one-star. The buckets sum to 15, matching the 15 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.733 reproduces the published 4.7. The live place page was opened in a browser on 2026-09-07 and it shows a real rating with real reviews - 4.7 from 15 - so the condition for shipping this card is met, and more comfortably than for the other Negombo card put to the same test. The listing is OWNER-VERIFIED (no Claim this business call to action), it publishes this card's street address and telephone number exactly, and the histogram reconciles to the published rating. A clinic whose only channel is a Google Business Profile is thin, but this profile is real, claimed by its owner and reviewed by fifteen people. [gmpI5b] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. Fifteen reviews. Small, but an order of magnitude more than the other Negombo card that faced the same ship-or-pull test. [gmpI5b] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-08-20 (listing read 2026-09-29). [radiance-dental-care-negombo-gbp-2026-09-29] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only 9 reviews dated within the last 24 months were read, none with an owner reply; fewer than ten, so whether the owner answers reviews stays open. [radiance-dental-care-negombo-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the three reviews Google renders is critical; all three are five-star, describing teeth whitening, a clinic found through a Google search, and children's fillings. The histogram carries 1 one-star and 0 two-star ratings out of 15, 6.7 per cent of the base, which the relevance-ordered sample does not reach. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpI5b] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 14/0/0/0/1 shape is bimodal, but on a base of fifteen an empty middle carries no information and the base does contain a genuine one-star rating, so it is not a wall. The three visible reviewers hold 4, 40 (a Local Guide with 11 photos) and 1 reviews, they describe three different encounters and their dates run eight and nine months. A fifteen-review base neither shows nor rules out much, and that is said plainly rather than dressed up. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpI5b] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence Not established: the clinic has no website, and the page "Radiance Dental Care" found under its name belongs to a clinic in Baddi, India (checked 2026-10-05). | 0/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing: TripAdvisor's own search finds none for the clinic's name or a short form of it (checked 2026-10-02), and the clinic has no website that could link one. [radiance-dental-care-negombo-tripadvisor] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed (checked 2026-10-02). [radiance-dental-care-negombo-platforms] [radiance-dental-care-negombo-platforms-2] [radiance-dental-care-negombo-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |

| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The full weekly schedule was read from the owner-verified Google Business Profile in a browser on 2026-09-07, closing the open question that asked for it (the initial data collection could read only the current day). Monday to Saturday 09:00-19:00, Sunday closed. That is a 19:00 close six days a week including all day Saturday, published clearly on the clinic's own verified profile, which is what this criterion asks for. It is also the most conventional and the longest working week of the five Negombo practices. [gmpI5b] | 1.5/1.5 |
