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 Nukutushammashoito (treatment under general anaesthesia) is a priced service — 550 €/hour with a two-hour minimum — and a specialist in anaesthesiology, Ilkka Kalli, is on the staff list.

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 Opened and read on 2026-09-07: a large, current site with about forty individual service pages, a price list dated from 1 March 2026, a staff page and an English version. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed [s5] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The staff page states each person's qualification: specialists in cariology and endodontics, periodontology, prosthodontics and stomatognathic physiology, orthodontics (three), oral radiology (three), oral and maxillofacial surgery, plus a specialist physician in anaesthesiology. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The lead owner photograph on the place page, read in a browser on 2026-09-08, is the practice's own reception: its long green-and-white desk with four members of staff in matching green scrubs standing behind it, against the exposed brick wall of the premises. Team and premises together, so the criterion is met. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published General dentistry, specialist dentistry, hygienist services, aesthetic dentistry, prosthetic dentistry, treatment under general anaesthesia, imaging and occupational dental care, each with its own described page. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail and the street address with floor in the header and footer of every page; consistent with the Google place record. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version A complete English site with its own navigation, service pages, fees and personnel sections. [s6] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with floor published site-wide, plus an embedded map. [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, explicitly valid from 1 March 2026, with the gross price and the share left after Kela reimbursement; the 14.70 € Kanta and information-service fee is disclosed and the clinic states it charges no separate office fee and no Saturday or holiday-eve surcharge. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hammaskiven poisto ja soodapuhdistus 103–163 € by time. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed One-surface filling 108 €, two 175 €, three 203 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Cerec e-max crown from 700 €, ceramic crown from 800 €. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Hammasimplantti including the implant and the implant crown, from 2900 €. [s3] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
12.5 / 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 — 52 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 4 two-star and 9 one-star — sums to 66, matching the 66 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.258 reproduces the published 4.3. [gm1] [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | 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 carried no count before this pass: the automated map method used in the initial data collection returns the rating but never the review count on this listing, which is why it was queued for a manual browser check. [gm1] [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is one month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 1 month (edited), 3, 3 (edited), 4, 5 and 5 months, then 1 and 5 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 13 of 67 Google ratings (19.4 %) are one or two stars (1★ 9 / 2★ 4 / 3★ 0 / 4★ 1 / 5★ 53), and the lowest-rated reviews (2023-2026) repeat complaints about appointments that start late (2025, twice) and about prices that do not match the service. [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-deepen-5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | 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 the five buckets (52/1/0/4/9), which is the shape of an ordinary busy practice rather than a wall, the visible dates run from one month to five years, the accounts name several different clinicians and describe different treatments, and the owner answers every one of them individually. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from the footer of every page, alongside Instagram. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammaslääkäriasema Helmiäinen Tampere" and "Helmiäinen Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-tripadvisor] [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot, and Dental Departures and Bookimed list no Finnish clinics; no Yelp page was found under its name, nor a Finnish dentist-review site with reviews of its own. [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-deepen] [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-deepen-2] [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-deepen-3] [hammaslaakariasema-helmiainen-tampere-deepen-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; three oral radiology specialists on the staff list. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Kartiokeilatutkimus (cone-beam CT) priced for single teeth (144 €) and for one to two (204 €) and three to four (295 €) jaw halves. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign aligner treatment priced at both general-dentist and specialist level; three orthodontic specialists on staff, and a dedicated page on orthodontics for children. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Oral and maxillofacial surgery page; two surgical specialists and one dentist training in the field on the staff list. [s2] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry A dedicated page on children's orthodontics; the orthodontic specialists treat children as well as adults. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Dedicated emergency page: emergency dentists on duty Monday to Saturday within opening hours, with no Saturday surcharge. [s7] | 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] [s6] | 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 The clinic publishes phone, e-mail and an online booking system only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic maintains a complete English version of its site, including booking instructions and fees. [s6] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Free implant, aesthetic, Invisalign and hygienist consultations are published as bookable items, each with what it covers. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each treatment has its own page written in plain Finnish (and English), explaining what the procedure is and when it is needed. [s2] | 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 07:00–19:00, Tuesday 07:30–18:00, Wednesday and Thursday 07:30–19:00, Friday 07:30–15:00, Saturday 09:00–15:00, Sunday closed. That agrees with the site's own table, so both of the clinic's channels publish the same evening and Saturday opening. [s5] [s7] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
7.5 / 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 and the clinic's own domain 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 and the clinic's own domain appears in the returned result list. [bsq2] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: dental implants Finland The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-07 and the clinic's own domain 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's own domain 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 emits schema.org JSON-LD, but only the generic WebPage / WebSite / BreadcrumbList graph a CMS plugin adds; there is no LocalBusiness, Dentist, MedicalBusiness or Organization entity describing the practice. Counted as a verified negative under the criterion's own wording ('LocalBusiness/Dentist markup or equivalent'). [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain holds the first result for its own name and five of the first twelve (front page, booking, contacts, staff, price list); the rest are its Instagram profile, business directories and press coverage. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages About forty individual service pages, one per treatment, grouped into general, specialist, hygienist, aesthetic, prosthetic and other services. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |

| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read 5 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: a repeated complaint is recorded. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no profile on WhatClinic or Trustpilot; Dental Departures and Bookimed do not cover Finland. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 13 of 66 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 7 doctor(s) previously no-match against the own-site roster confirmed by re-reading the clinic's staff/team page(s) (Anna Liukkonen; Joonas Liukkonen; Ulla Kotiranta-Lamberg; Mirka Nurmi; Eeva Kormi; Jorma Järnstedt; Miikka Åhlman); no data other than sources/license-passthrough changed. |
