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 'Hammashoito nukutuksessa' (treatment under general anaesthesia) is a named service with its own page, offered for extensive procedures and severe dental fear. [s1]

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
18 / 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, staff pages, price list and contacts. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Eleven dentists and surgeons named, each with a profile link, plus five hygienists, the nursing team and the managing director. All eleven are recorded in the licensing block; one of them, Tuuli Forsström, is marked by the clinic as on parental leave. Re-read 2026-09-07. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each entry carries its qualification: EHL, HLL, HLT, and for the specialists the field — suu- ja leukakirurgia for Milla Huuhka and Harri Vaalas, iensairaudet (periodontology) for Katriina Lähdetie. [s3] | 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 building — the yellow neoclassical block at Kurjenmäenkatu 10, photographed in snow, with the clinic's black entrance canopy and its monogram sign over the door. Premises and signage together, so the criterion is met. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Seventeen named services with a page each, from emergency care and check-ups through root canal treatment, gum disease, aesthetic dentistry, dentures, implants, worn dentition, treatment under general anaesthesia, radiography and oral surgery to aligner orthodontics and hygienist care. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Booking number, e-mail and the street address with building name in the header and footer of every page; consistent with the Google place record. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site declares Finnish and Swedish alternates only ('Suomeksi / På Svenska'); there is no English version. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with building name and driving and parking directions, 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 for dentist and hygienist treatment with the gross price and the patient's share. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hampaiden puhdistus 137 €; powder polishing without scaling 79 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Paikkaukset 83.50–225 €; ceramic filling 285–619 € by size. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Keraaminen kruunu from 750 € plus laboratory cost; composite crown 276 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Implanttikruunu from 2600 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Tarkastus 79 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Röntgenkuva BW 63 €, panoramic study 115.50 €. [s4] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
13 / 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) as of 2026-09-25; previously 4.5 [hammaslaakariasema-von-dents-turku-gbp-2026-09-25] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25; previously 23 [hammaslaakariasema-von-dents-turku-gbp-2026-09-25] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is two months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 2, 3, 8, 8 and 9 months, then 1, 1 and 4 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 six 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 Of 25 Google reviews, 3 are one- or two-star (12 %), but the lowest-rated read (2023-2025) show no common theme (a visit with several issues, one with no text and a treatment that did not succeed), so the criterion is left unassessed (read 2026-10-05). | 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 is two-valued at the ends (20/0/0/1/2), which on a base of 23 is unremarkable: the visible dates run from two months to four years, the accounts name three different clinicians and describe different treatments, several mention the premises and the parking, and the owner answers six of the eight including the critical one. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's own Facebook page under the von Dents name was found through a name-and-city search run in this pass, ranking above the directories; its Instagram profile ranked first. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Hammaslääkäriasema Von Dents Turku" and "Von Dents"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [hammaslaakariasema-von-dents-turku-tripadvisor] [hammaslaakariasema-von-dents-turku-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.

Medical Infrastructure
11 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray A dedicated radiography page describing modern digital imaging equipment and software on the premises; intraoral and panoramic imaging priced. [s5] | 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. [s4] [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dedicated implant page; implant crowns priced. [s6] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics 'Kalvo-oikominen' (aligner orthodontics) is a named service with its own page. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Dedicated oral and maxillofacial surgery page — implants and bone grafts, surgical wisdom-tooth removal, apicoectomy, mucosal biopsies — and two surgical specialists on the roster. [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry The emergency page states the clinic is there for the whole family and welcomes child patients of any age. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Dedicated emergency page with its own hours: weekdays 8–20 on Mon–Thu and 8–15 on Fri, with same-day slots often available online. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients The clinic publishes nothing about foreign patients; its only non-Finnish version is Swedish, a domestic national language. [s1] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
4 / 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 English; its published language versions are Finnish and Swedish. | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible The implant page invites patients to get in touch for an assessment of their situation and options before treatment. [s6] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each service page explains the treatment in plain Finnish and adds a background section. [s6] [s7] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed on the clinic's own Google Business Profile, read in a browser on 2026-09-08: Monday to Thursday 08:00–20:00, Friday 08:00–15:00, Saturday and Sunday closed. The 20:00 close on four weekdays matches the clinic's own site exactly. [s2] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
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, the university, 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, 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 re-checked against by the verification pass. The clinic is the top result for "dental implants Turku", but through a third party: the page is planmeca.com/dental-units/customer-clinics/von-dents/, the equipment manufacturer's customer-clinic page about this practice, titled "Von Dents". Its own domain does not appear in the list. Counted as an appearance, because the criterion asks whether the clinic appears in the top answers, not whether its own domain does. [bsq3] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | 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 university, 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 carries no schema.org JSON-LD and no microdata at all — neither a business entity nor the generic page nodes. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality A name-and-city search returns the clinic strongly but through other people's pages: its Instagram profile first, its Facebook page second, then directories, press coverage and LinkedIn. Its own domain does not appear in the first fourteen results. [giq1] | 1/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Seventeen individual service pages, one per treatment. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-05 on the clinic's Google listing (5 reviews read): nothing settled; recurring complaints left unassessed. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 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 3 of 23 and the low reviews themselves were not read; Google rating 4.6 (was 4.5) and review count 25 (was 23) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 8 doctor(s) previously no-match against the own-site roster confirmed by re-reading the clinic's staff/team page(s) (Maija Arjasmaa; Harri Vaalas; Katriina Lähdetie; Tiina Ranne; Leena Järvi; Minna Kirstilä; Kristiina Mäkinen; Tuuli Forsström); 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 (20/0/0/1/2 = 23, weighted mean 4.522), 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 across the front page, emergency, staff, price, radiography, implant and surgery pages; Google Maps place record read live. The implants visibility hit came through a manufacturer's customer-clinic page about the practice rather than its own domain, and that is recorded in the field's note. Review-side fields and both licence layers left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
