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.

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 with a service tree, price list, staff page and contacts. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each person is listed with their field: Zlatan Hodzic as an oral surgery specialist and maxillofacial surgeon, the general dentists with their procedure lists, plus a named dental technician. [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 entrance in the Forum centre: its glazed doors and its own window graphic, which carries the clinic's floor («Forumin 3. kerroksessa»), its telephone number and its own web address. Premises and signage together, so the criterion is met. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Fourteen described services from check-ups and fillings to aligner orthodontics, implant surgery, ceramic crowns and radiography. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Booking number, e-mail, floor-level address and opening hours in the footer of every page; consistent with the Google place record. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The site is Finnish only; there is no English version or language switcher. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address with shopping-centre floor, an embedded map and a parking benefit described. [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 with about forty entries, each with the price before and after Kela reimbursement; the 27 €/14 € service-plus-Kanta fee is disclosed at the top. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Hammaskivenpoisto by hygienist 119 € (30 min) / 167 € (45 min); by dentist 178–254 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed One-surface filling 95 €, two 159 €, three 195 €, four or more 230 €. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Keraaminen hammaskruunu alkaen 616 €, technical costs included. [s2] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
15 / 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 — 20 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star and 1 one-star — sums to 25, matching the 25 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.640 reproduces the published 4.6. [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 25 and the listing has not moved since. [gm1] [gmpb] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is three months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 6 and 8 months, then 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 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 No one-star or two-star account is surfaced by Google's relevance ordering; the only reservations visible are two four-star accounts, one of which records that a HeySmile orthodontic course estimated at eleven months took two years while praising the staff. The one- and two-star mass is 1 of 25 = 4.0 %, so on this base the criterion is a straightforward false. 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 25 (20/3/1/0/1) and the visible dates spread from three months to five years. Reviewers include patients of many years' standing and one who has attended since childhood, the wording varies, and the owner answers six of the eight individually. No signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site, alongside Instagram and YouTube. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Kukontorin hammaslääkärit Helsinki" and "Kukontorin hammaslääkärit"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-tripadvisor] [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-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). [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-platforms] [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-platforms-2] [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-deepen] [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-platforms-3] [kukontorin-hammaslaakarit-helsinki-platforms-4] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
10 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Panoramic and intraoral/bite-wing radiography priced in the clinic's own price list; a dedicated radiography service page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Cone-beam imaging ('3D, KKTT-kuvaus') priced for one or more teeth (224 €) and for one to two jaw halves (286 €). [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics HeySmile aligner orthodontics with five priced tiers and a priced planning package. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Surgical service page and an oral surgeon on staff; surgical extraction priced, including a specialist rate. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry is not named among the services or in the price list. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care No emergency or same-day service is offered on the clinic's own pages. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | 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
4 / 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. [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 English version to infer from. | 0/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Free implant consultation, and a 55 € oral-surgeon implant consultation, both published with what they include. [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each of the fourteen services has its own explained page. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic's Google Business Profile publishes the full week, read in a browser on 2026-09-08: Monday to Thursday 08:00–20:00, Friday 08:00–16:00, Saturday and Sunday closed. A 20:00 close on four weekdays is evening surgery published clearly, so the criterion is confirmed on the clinic's own record as well as on its site. [s1] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
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, 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 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. [bsq5] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website The site's schema.org JSON-LD graph carries a business-level Organization entity for the practice ("Kukontorin hammaslääkärit") 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 two results for its own name and five of the first thirteen (front page, price list, contacts, services); the rest are directories, the shopping centre's own page and its social profiles. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Fourteen individual service pages, one per treatment. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
