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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Dentist profiles state that treatment under general anaesthesia is available ('Hammashoito nukutuksessa on myös mahdollista'). [s2]

Score Breakdown

Information Transparency
20 / 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 large current site with per-service pages, staff profiles, price list and a live review feed. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The staff page names twenty dentists with individual profiles as read on 2026-09-07 (the research pass counted fourteen), plus hygienists, physiotherapists, nurses and office staff. This card records the four specialists and four general dentists whose profiles carry a stated field or language list; the remainder are named on the same page. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Titles are stated per person — erikoishammaslääkäri in oral and maxillofacial surgery, in clinical dentistry (cariology and endodontics), in prosthodontics and stomatognathic physiology and in orthodontics — and each profile lists the treatments and languages that dentist offers. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph on the place page, read in a browser on 2026-09-08, is the clinic's own reception hall: its stone-clad desk carrying the «DENT Å» wordmark, with the practice's own seating, planting and daylit waiting area around it. Premises and signage together, so the criterion is met. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published General dentistry, specialist dentistry, aesthetic treatment, hygienist services, service-voucher care, anxious-patient care, orthodontics for children, emergency care and corporate dentistry, each with its own described page. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details One phone number, e-mail and the Forum-block street address in the header and footer of every page; consistent with the Google place record. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site declares Finnish, Swedish and English alternates and carries FI / EN / SV switchers in the header. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address published site-wide; the page's own structured data carries the postal address and geo-coordinates. [s1] | 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 itemised price list for dentist and hygienist treatment with the price before and after Kela reimbursement, and a stated 30 % specialist uplift; the clinic states it charges no office fee and no out-of-hours surcharge. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hammaskivenpoisto including powder polishing 114.70 € (30 min) and 153.30 € (45 min). [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed One-surface 122.90 €, two 180.80 €, three 216.10 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Keraaminen kruunu including laboratory costs from 750 €; composite crown 264.60 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Implantti + kruunu from 2100 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Suun perustutkimus 80.50 €, or 138.50 € with radiographs. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Intraoral 47.30 €, bite-wing 58 €, panoramic 109.20 €, cone-beam priced separately. [s4] | 2/2 |
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) 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 — 275 five-star, 6 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 0 one-star — sums to 281, matching the 281 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.979 reproduces the published 5.0. [gm1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | 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 280 and the listing has gained 1 since. The clinic's own front page embeds a Google review widget reading «5.0 from 280 reviews»; measured against the live place page it is accurate, the listing having gained one review since. The widget was not used as the source — the place-page header and the histogram were. [gm1] [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is one month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 1, 3, 7, 11 and 11 months, then 1, 1 and 1 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] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers all 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 The listing carries no one-star, two-star or three-star rating at all: the entire distribution is 275 five-star and 6 four-star ratings. There is therefore no negative account anywhere on the record to carry a complaint, and the criterion is false on a complete distribution rather than on a sample. The one- and two-star mass is 0 of 281. 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. This is the only Finnish card in the ≥4.9-on-≥100 band and the histogram was read specifically for that reason: 275/6/0/0/0 on 281 ratings, with a weighted mean of 4.979. It is close to a wall and the shape is disclosed rather than explained away. Against a manipulation reading: six four-star ratings do exist, so the distribution is not perfectly uniform; the visible dates spread from one month to over a year rather than clustering; the eight accounts describe different situations at different lengths (a crown that fell off and was re-cemented, several last-minute or same-day appointments, routine treatment) and are written in two languages; and the owner replies individually to every one of them, which is the behaviour of a practice that actively solicits and answers feedback. Recorded false, and raised for the gate because a 281-review record with nothing below four stars is the strongest single-card shape in this group. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site, alongside Instagram. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammaslääkäriasema Dent Å Turku" and "Hammaslääkäriasema Dent Å"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-tripadvisor] [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on WhatClinic, Trustpilot or Yelp (Yelp's search finds no page for it), and Dental Departures and Bookimed do not cover Finland (checked 2026-10-02). [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-platforms] [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-platforms-2] [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-deepen] [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-platforms-3] [hammaslaakariasema-dent-a-turku-platforms-4] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
13 / 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. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) KKTT (cone-beam) imaging is a priced line in the clinic's own price list, with a note that Kela reimbursement for it requires a specialist referral. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implant treatment priced, and named dentists list implant surgery and implant prosthetics among their treatments. [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Aligner orthodontics offered by several dentists and an orthodontic specialist on staff; a dedicated page on orthodontics for children. [s2] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Surgical extraction priced; a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery on the roster. [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry A dedicated page on orthodontics for children, and several dentist profiles state they treat patients of all ages. [s5] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Dedicated emergency page: the clinic is open every day of the year and states it bills weekend and holiday visits at the normal tariff with no emergency surcharge. [s6] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients The clinic keeps a non-Finnish version of its site, but nothing in its own channels documents experience with foreign patients — no statement about international insurance, cross-border reimbursement, English paperwork or treating patients from abroad. Re-read 2026-09-07 and left unassessed rather than recorded as a negative. [s1] [s2] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Phone, e-mail and online booking only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic keeps an English version of the site, and the dentist profiles list the languages each works in, Finnish, Swedish and English among them. [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Customer service does an urgency assessment on request, and the clinic publishes what a check-up covers before booking. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each treatment and the emergency route are explained at length in plain Finnish. [s3] [s6] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed on the clinic's own Google Business Profile, read in a browser on 2026-09-08, which publishes the full week: Monday to Friday 08:00–20:00, Saturday 10:00–16:00 and Sunday 10:00–15:00. That is seven-day opening with a 20:00 weekday close — the widest published week of any Finnish card in this index — and it agrees exactly with the clinic's own site. [s6] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
8 / 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 and the clinic appears in the returned result list. [bsq1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | 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 university, 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 and the clinic appears in the returned result list. [bsq3] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07 and the clinic appears in the returned result list. [bsq4] | 1/1 |
| ? | 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 carries a Place entity with a PostalAddress and GeoCoordinates and, re-read on 2026-09-07, a full ["Dentist","Organization"] entity for the practice with its street address and telephone — genuine Dentist markup, not just the generic WebPage/WebSite nodes. [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 ten (front page, general dentistry, hygienist services); the rest are its own Facebook and Instagram profiles and local directories. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Individual pages for general dentistry, specialist dentistry, aesthetic dentistry, hygienist care, service vouchers, anxious patients, children's orthodontics, emergency care and corporate dentistry. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |

The review count shown by the clinic's own embedded Google widget (280) was recorded in a note for the manual browser check to confirm rather than entered as data. Review-side fields and both licence layers left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
