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.

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 [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Seven dentists on the professional-team page (Chang Hsu-Chiang, director; Chang Chia-Ming, Lin Chi-Ting, Su Chia-Ning, Huang Wei-Yu, Chang Chih-Han, Pan Yi-Ching) plus Chen Yung-Li on the published rota. The MOHW institution record counts 6 dentists registered at these premises (checked 2026-09-04); the register never publishes their names, so the published roster and the registration count cannot be reconciled from any official source. [s2] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each entry carries a specialty and credentials, e.g. Chang Chia-Ming — Republic of China oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist; Pan Yi-Ching — Executive Yuan MOHW-certified orthodontic specialist; Huang Wei-Yu — specialist of the Taiwan periodontology society. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The advanced-equipment page carries photographs of the refitted premises and equipment. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The treatments section lists dental implants, Invisalign clear aligners, precision prosthodontics, periodontal treatment, full-mouth reconstruction and cosmetic dentistry. [s5] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Two phone numbers, a fax number, an e-mail address and the postal address on the contact page. [s6] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Traditional Chinese only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Postal address on the contact page and in the footer of every page; matches the MOHW register entry. [s6] [reg1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No fee page in the navigation and no figures on the treatment or equipment pages. [s1] [s5] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Implant price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Consultation price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
18 / 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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 1244 five-star, 70 four-star, 8 three-star, 4 two-star, 45 one-star. The buckets sum to 1371, matching the 1371 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.797 reproduces the published 4.8. [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. Read from the accessibility labels, not from a comma split: the four-digit bucket 1,244 and the header 1,371 both survive intact, and the buckets sum exactly to the header. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest review visible is 4 months old, which proves the within-a-year bucket and no better. Sample: the three reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replied under a visible review by name. Sample: the three reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One mildly critical review in the visible sample, two years old and rated four stars: the reviewer praises the service and the environment but says the clinic could not solve his problem and that the diagnosis was wrong. A single account inside a four-star review is not a repeated theme. The histogram carries 45 one-star and 4 two-star ratings out of 1,371 (3.6 per cent) that the visible sample cannot reach. Sample: the three reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 1244/70/8/4/45 distribution carries a full, graded tail over a base of nearly 1,400 reviews - not the shape manipulation produces. Sample: the three reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own page, facebook.com/Classic.Dentists. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Classic Dental Clinic Tainan" and "Classic Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [classic-dental-tainan-tripadvisor] [classic-dental-tainan-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Dent&Co profile carries over a thousand public patient reviews. [s7] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
8 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray | 0/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) 3D digital tomography on the advanced-equipment page. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dedicated dental-implant page; the clinic states that a specialist implant surgeon operates with a prosthodontist and trained assistants. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Dedicated Invisalign clear-aligner page; Lin Chi-Ting and Pan Yi-Ching are certified orthodontic specialists. [s5] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Chang Chia-Ming is an MOHW oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist whose listed fields are oral surgery, alveolar defect reconstruction and wisdom and impacted tooth extraction. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Children’s dentistry does not appear in the published treatments list. [s5] | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Emergency care | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available No LINE or WhatsApp channel published; contact is by phone, e-mail or the online booking link. [s1] [s6] | 0/2 |

| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Published: Monday to Saturday 09:30–11:30, 14:30–17:00 and 18:30–21:00, with no Saturday evening session and Sunday closed; a per-dentist rota is published week by week. [s6] [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
1.5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Taiwan", "English speaking dentist Taiwan", "dental implants Taiwan", "emergency dentist Taiwan", "Taiwan dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Taiwan Web search 2026-09-06: not among results for "best dentist Tainan" (top results named Mu Shan Hao Dental Clinic and aggregator top-10/highly reviewed lists, not this clinic). [sq1] | 0/1 |
