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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Checked: the site prices "Intravenous (IV) Conscious Sedation €600" under "Sedation Consultation For Nervous Adult Patients" — explicitly conscious sedation, which the methodology excludes ("ordinary conscious...sedation...does not count"), not deep/twilight sedation or general anaesthesia. [s3]

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
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dedicated team page names sixteen dentists individually with bios: Dr Laura Fee, Dr Ian Wong, Dr Yuliia Hluvynska, Dr Vennisa Umeh, Dr Viktoriia Kanakina, Dr Shane Keating, Dr Erin O’Hagan, Dr Aoife Nolan, Dr Noel Hayes, Dr Ibrahim Elmasri, Dr Hengjia Zhang, Dr Maéve Watters, Dr Hannah Elseisy, Dr Rachel Alexander, Dr Andrea Uribarri and "Dr Eleni" (first name only). [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Dr Laura Fee is named as "Endodontist". [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos Looked at on the clinic's Google place page on 2026-09-08 and left unassessed rather than credited. The lead photograph shows a member of staff carrying two Irish Dentistry Awards 2024 trophies against a dark backdrop — the practice's own publication, unquestionably, but an award rather than a view of the clinic. The methodology's rule tests for premises, signage, team at work or equipment, and a trophy is none of them, on the same footing as the framed certificate that failed this criterion in the previous group. The clinic's own website was not opened for this purpose in this pass, so the field stays null rather than false. [gmp2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Separate adults and children price-list pages itemising well over 100 procedures across general, cosmetic, periodontal, endodontic, surgical and orthodontic categories. [s1] [s3] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone and address consistent between the site and the Google Business listing. [s1] [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Google listing address, "Bayside Medical Centre (GP), Bayside Shopping Centre, Bayside Square E, Kilbarrack Lower, Dublin, D13 W2K1", matches the clinic’s own "North Dublin 13 / Bayside" description. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Two permanent, dated price-list pages (adults and children) with well over a hundred itemised fees. [s3] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Routine Scale & Polish €100; Dental Hygienist Scale & Polish Brightening Cleaning €150. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed White Fillings (Composite) €200–300; Silver Fillings (Amalgam) €200–300. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Zirconia Ceramic Crown (Molar Tooth) €1,200–1,400. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Checked: only "Dental implant crown €1,500" is priced, which reads as the crown restoration on an existing implant rather than the surgical implant placement fee itself; no separate implant-placement price is published. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Dental Exam/Consultation €100 per visit; orthodontic consultation €100. [s3] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Intra-oral X-ray €20; OPG X-ray €100. [s3] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
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 — 2857 five-star, 166 four-star, 42 three-star, 44 two-star and 222 one-star — sums to 3331, matching the 3331 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.619 reproduces the published 4.6. [gmp1] [gmp2] | 5/6 |
| ✓ | 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 3328 and the listing has gained 3 since. [gmp1] [gmp2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 1 month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: three entries at 1 month, one at 2 months, three at 3 months and one at 5 months. 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. [gmp2] | 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. [gmp2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints This is the largest review base in Ireland and the verdict turns on Google's truncation rather than on the evidence, which is said plainly. Two of the eight visible reviews are one-star. One, a month old, describes taking a three-year-old with toothache after specifically asking before booking whether the practice had a paediatric dentist and being told it did — «that was the only reason I booked with» — and breaks off there. The other, three months old, opens «I heavily regret not checking the reviews before coming here», says the reviewer was in severe dental pain and, as a young woman from abroad, rushed to the clinic for help, and that this «was a massive mistake» — and breaks off before naming what went wrong. Neither continuation is in the page and Google will not expand it to automation, so no shared theme can be established between them and the verdict is false rather than true. Both would move it if either continued into the other's territory. One- and two-star ratings together are 266 of 3,331, 8.0 % of the base, below the 25 % at which the methodology's rule withholds a verdict; 264 of those accounts are unread. One further fact is recorded for the reader: the owner has answered all six positive reviews in the visible sample, several within a month, and neither of the two one-star accounts. 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. [gmp2] | 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 four-digit buckets were read whole from their accessibility labels rather than split on the thousands comma, and 2,857/166/42/44/222 sums to 3,331, matching the place-page header exactly. The distribution has a fully populated tail — 222 one-star ratings stand unpruned under a published 4.6 — which is the opposite of a manufactured record. All eight visible reviews fall inside five months, which on a base of 3,331 is simply where the newest reviews are; they run from a line to several paragraphs, describe emergency, hygienist and routine care, and name individual staff. Nothing suggests purchased or suppressed review activity. [gmp2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence facebook.com/smilehubdentaldublin published in the site’s own schema.org Organization block. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "SmileHub Dentistry Dublin" and "SmileHub dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor. [smilehub-dentistry-dublin-presence] [smilehub-dentistry-dublin-presence-2] [smilehub-dentistry-dublin-presence-3] | 0/0.5 |

Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) "CBCT Scan and Report €300" published as an own service (with a note that it does not offer referral CBCT for external dentists, implying in-house use for its own patients). [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dedicated Dental Implants page and priced implant-related items. [s1] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Dedicated children’s price-list page (childrens-pricelist). [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care An "Emergency" item is present in the site navigation. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Clear service explanations | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Settled from null on 2026-09-08 and it is the widest published week in either country of this group: the clinic's own Google Business Profile publishes 07:30–22:00 on all seven days, Saturday and Sunday included. That satisfies both halves of the rule this index applies — a weekday close well past 19:00 and weekend opening — and it matches what the visible reviews describe, several of them emergency appointments obtained out of hours and within a few hours of telephoning. [gmp2] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
