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
Family-run clinic on Rotuaari in central Oulu, in operation since 1994 and combining dentistry with a general medical practice. Three named dentists, an itemised price list, an iTero intraoral scanner, Invisalign aligner treatment and implants, and an emergency line the clinic says has served acute patients since it opened.

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: real clinic content across a service tree, price list, company page and contacts. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Three dentists named on the company page: Joel Sinervo, Pekka Sinervo and Ossi Kiuru. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed The company page gives names and titles only — hammaslääkäri, and for one of them hammaslääkäri ja lääkäri — with no qualifications, universities or specialities. [s4] | 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 branded white uniforms treating a patient in one of its surgeries, with the chair, the delivery unit and the cabinetry in frame. Team and equipment, so the criterion is met. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Seventeen named services with a page each: general dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, emergency care, Invisalign, implants, whitening, dentures, veneers, crowns and bridges, extractions, wisdom teeth, corporate agreements, fillings, check-ups, radiography, iTero scanning and a general practitioner clinic. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Mobile and landline numbers, e-mail and the street address with floor in the header of every page; consistent with the Google place record. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site is Finnish only; it declares no language alternates and carries no switcher. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with floor in the header of every page and the Rotuaari location repeated on the company page; the contacts block adds 'Rotuaarinaukio 90100 Oulu'. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
15 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Standing price list of about twenty-five common procedures with the full price and the patient's share, prefaced by a 0 € office fee line and a note that exact estimates are given at an assessment visit. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hammaskiven poisto 63 € (10 min), 133 € (20 min), 189 € (30 min). [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed One-surface 95 €, two 150 €, three to four 170 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Keraaminen kruunu from 700 €; composite crown 220 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Implanttihammas from 2000 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Tarkastus 79 €; the company page also advertises a free consultation. [s3] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Pieni hammasröntgen 36 €, bite-wing 46 €, panoramic (OPTG) 94 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
14 / 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 — 22 five-star, 3 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star and 1 one-star — sums to 27, matching the 27 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.630 reproduces the published 4.6. One identity discrepancy is disclosed rather than resolved: the place record matches the card on name, street and website but publishes the telephone +358 8 311 3560, where the card carries the number the clinic publishes on its own site, +358 50 529 0969. Both are the practice's own channels; nothing in a browser can establish which is answered, and no number was rung. [gm1] [gmpb] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | 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 27 and the listing has not moved since. [gm1] [gmpb] | 1/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest review visible is four months old, which proves the within_year bucket and no better. Visible dates: 4 and 4 months, then 1, 1, 1, 2, 3 and 3 years. 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] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers two of the eight of the reviews visible on the place page on 2026-09-08. 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 recurring complaints One account below four stars is visible, a two-star four months old that is largely positive on its face — good service, a campaign price the reviewer found reasonable, the filling done immediately, the check-up made and the tartar removed — and whose reservation is behind Google's truncation and cannot be expanded. The owner answered it. A single account whose complaint cannot even be read is not a repeated theme, so the criterion is false. The one- and two-star mass is 2 of 27 = 7.4 %. 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. The histogram fills four of five buckets on a base of 27 (22/3/0/1/1), the visible dates run from four months to three years, several accounts identify themselves as dental-phobic patients and name the same and different clinicians, and the owner answers only two of the eight. No signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site, alongside Instagram and X. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammaslääkäriasema Andante Oulu" and "Andante Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammaslaakariasema-andante-oulu-tripadvisor] [hammaslaakariasema-andante-oulu-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms WhatClinic has a profile for the clinic at Kirkkokatu 17 B 22 with the clinic's own description, prices and photos; no patient reviews yet. [hammaslaakariasema-andante-oulu-deepen] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray A dedicated radiography page, and intraoral, bite-wing and panoramic imaging priced. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) The radiography page and the price list cover intraoral, bite-wing and panoramic imaging only; no cone-beam CT is described or priced. [s2] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dedicated implant page describing titanium implant placement, implant-borne single teeth, bridges and denture retention. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign aligner treatment is a named service with its own page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Extractions and wisdom-tooth treatment are named services with their own pages. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry is not named among the seventeen services or in the price list. [s2] [s3] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Dedicated emergency page: the clinic states its dentists have handled acute cases in Oulu since 1994 and gives a direct emergency number. [s6] | 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
2.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Phone, e-mail and online booking only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken The clinic makes no statement about the languages it works in, and there is no non-Finnish version to infer from. | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The company page advertises a free consultation ('maksuton konsultaatio') as a bookable step. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each service page explains the treatment in plain Finnish, including what an implant is and when to come to the emergency line. [s5] [s6] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed as a checked negative on both channels on 2026-09-08. The clinic's own site publishes no opening hours — only telephone booking hours of 08:00–13:00 on weekdays, and an emergency page that promises out-of-hours help «whenever possible» without a schedule — and its Google Business Profile publishes no hours at all (the record offers «Add hours»). Neither channel publishes evening or weekend opening. [s4] [s6] [gmpb] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
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, the city and wellbeing-county pages, Wikipedia 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, the city and wellbeing-county pages, Wikipedia 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, the city and wellbeing-county pages, Wikipedia 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, the city and wellbeing-county pages, Wikipedia 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 ("Andante - Hammaslääkäri Oulu") 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 a second inner page in the first four; the rest are directories, a company-data service and an Invisalign doctor profile for one of its dentists. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Seventeen individual service pages, one per treatment, plus a separate section for the general medical practice. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
