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.
Summary
Tampere's oldest dentist group practice, on the same central Hämeenkatu address since 1968 and, in its own words, outside the large dental chains. Five named dentists, each with a direct booking number, a hygienist, an itemised price list with no visit or office fees, and a Kela direct-reimbursement agreement.

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
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Opened and read on 2026-09-07: a small but current site with real clinic content, price list, staff page and contacts. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Five dentists and one hygienist named, paired with the dental nurse each works with. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed The staff page gives names and job titles only — hammaslääkäri, suuhygienisti, hammashoitaja — with no qualifications, specialities or training for any of the dentists. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The place page carries an owner photo set, and its lead image, read in a browser on 2026-09-08, shows two of the practice's own clinicians in its black uniform working on a patient in one of its surgeries, with the chair, the instrument tray and the light arm in frame. That is the clinic's own team and equipment, so the criterion is met; it is not a stock close-up of teeth. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Check-ups, hygienist services, implants, aesthetic dentistry, root canal treatment and emergency care named on the front page, with demanding prosthetic and surgical work added. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Central number, e-mail, street address with floor, opening hours and a personal booking number for each dentist; consistent with the Google place record. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site is Finnish only; there is no language switcher or English page. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with floor, a described entrance between two named shops and a map link. [s4] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
13 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Standing itemised price list with about twenty procedures, each with the gross price and the patient's share, prefaced by the clinic's statement that it charges no office, visit or Kanta fees. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hammaskiven poisto suuhygienistillä 45 min 134 €; by dentist from 43 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed One-surface 90 €, two 152 €, three 180 €; ceramic fillings from 400 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed The price list prices ceramic fillings ('keraamiset täytteet') but no crown; crowns are not a separate line. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Hammasimplantti from 2200 €; implant consultation 0 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Hammastarkastus 69 €; implant consultation free. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Intraoral 43 €, bite-wing per side 26 €, panoramic (OPTG) 118 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
14.5 / 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) Read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 51 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 0 one-star — sums to 52, matching the 52 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.981 reproduces the published 5.0. [gm1] [gmpb] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-08 from the place-page header, and the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card held 51 and the listing has gained 1 since. [gm1] [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is two months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 2, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5 and 11 months, then 1 year. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews None of the 10 reviews read on Google carries an owner reply, including the 10 dated 2025-08-25 to 2026-09-08. [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-deepen-2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The listing carries no one-star and no two-star rating at all — the whole distribution is 51 five-star and one four-star — so the negative share is 0 of 52 and the criterion is false on a complete distribution rather than on a sample. The only reservation visible anywhere is that four-star account, from a patient whose tooth whitening by the hygienist did not give the result she hoped for and who adds that this was not the clinic's fault. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. A near-wall (51/1/0/0/0) and worth stating as such. Against a manipulation reading: the visible dates spread from two months to a year, five of the eight sit inside a five-month window but describe different treatments at different lengths in two languages, one account records the practice changing hands on a named dentist's retirement and names the staff involved, and the owner engages with none of the reviews at all — the opposite of a curated record. Recorded false with the shape disclosed. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links a Facebook profile from its own site; a name-and-city search run in this pass resolved it to the Dentrum Oy page in Tampere, which carries the clinic's own video posts. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammasasema Dentrum Tampere" and "Hammasasema Dentrum"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-tripadvisor] [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot, its Yelp page is an unclaimed listing with no reviews, and Dental Departures and Bookimed do not cover Finland (checked 2026-10-02). [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-platforms] [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-platforms-2] [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-deepen] [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-platforms-3] [hammasasema-dentrum-tampere-platforms-4] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
7.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Intraoral, bite-wing and panoramic imaging priced in the clinic's own price list. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) The price list covers intraoral, bite-wing and panoramic imaging only; no cone-beam CT is priced or described anywhere on the site. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics Orthodontics is not offered on the service list or priced; it appears only in a sentence listing treatments Kela does not reimburse. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery The front page names demanding surgical work; the price list prices ordinary, difficult and surgical extractions. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry is not named on the site or in the price list. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The front page lists 'päivystys' (emergency care) among the services available under one roof. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients The clinic publishes nothing about foreign patients and keeps no non-Finnish version of its site. [s1] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
1.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Phone and e-mail only. [s4] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken The clinic makes no statement about the languages it works in, and there is no English version to infer from. | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible A free implant consultation is published, and the clinic invites patients to call and ask about procedures and prices. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Clear service explanations Services are listed by name on the front page without individual explanations of what each procedure involves. [s1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Checked on both of the clinic's channels on 2026-09-08. Its own site publishes Monday to Thursday 08:00–16:00 and Friday 08:00–12:00; its Google Business Profile publishes Monday to Thursday 08:00–18:00 and Friday 08:00–12:00, with both weekend days closed on either reading. The two disagree by two hours and the more favourable figure is not credited, but neither reaches an evening close and neither publishes any weekend opening, so the verdict is the same on both: office hours only. [s4] [gmpb] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
3.5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Finland", "English speaking dentist Finland", "dental implants Finland", "emergency dentist Finland", "Finland dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, city and wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, city and wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, city and wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq3] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by national chains, city and wellbeing-county pages and directories. [bsq4] | 0/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: Finland dental clinic for expats The fifth canonical query was not run for this city in the AI-visibility pass: the pass ran it only for the first research city of each country (Helsinki for Finland). Left unset rather than guessed. | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website The site's schema.org JSON-LD graph carries a business-level Organization entity for the practice ("Hammasasema Dentrum") alongside the generic WebPage/WebSite/BreadcrumbList nodes. Re-read on 2026-09-07: that Organization node carries the business name, the site URL and, where present, its social profiles — but no PostalAddress, no telephone and no geo. It is therefore not LocalBusiness or Dentist markup; it is credited under the criterion's "or equivalent" wording as business-level structured data. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain holds the first result for its own name and three of the first six (front page, booking, price list); the rest are its own Instagram and Facebook posts and business directories. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Dedicated service pages The site has four pages in total — front page, price list, staff and contacts — with no page per service. [s1] | 0/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Yelp page read on 2026-10-02: an unclaimed listing with no reviews, so no profile on any review platform; presence on other platforms set to no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read 10 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no owner replies seen. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no WhatClinic or Trustpilot profile; a Yelp page exists but could not be read, so left unverified. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 5 doctor(s) previously no-match against the own-site roster confirmed by re-reading the clinic's staff/team page(s) (Turo Riihimäki; Miika Kujanpää; Tapio Parviainen; Ida Kivimäki; Erik Antikainen); no data other than sources/license-passthrough changed. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. Recorded from it: the rating re-verified against the star histogram, the review count, the histogram itself (51/1/0/0/0 = 52, weighted mean 4.981), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the eight most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph and the full published opening week. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: clinic website read in full (front page, price list, staff, contacts); Google Maps place record read live. The Google listing name 'Dentrum Oy' is the company form of the clinic's own name and was not adopted for the card. Review-side fields and both licence layers left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
