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.
Summary
English-first specialist group practice in the Dazhi area of Zhongshan District, next to the Marriott. The site presents a fourteen-dentist roster of periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, orthodontists and an oral surgeon, most with US or Australian postgraduate training, and runs a parallel Chinese site. The practice holds no National Health Insurance contract, so all treatment is private-pay.

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 fourteen dentists, each with a linked profile page. The MOHW institution record counts 2 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] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each dentist is given a discipline and a postgraduate credential, e.g. Dr. Rebecca Chen (DMSc, Harvard) orthodontics; Dr. Po Lee (MSD, Tufts) periodontics; Dr. Chun-Chen Lai (OMFS, NCKU) oral and maxillofacial surgery. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Treatments index plus one page per procedure on the clinic's own site. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone published on the site matches the number in the MOHW institution record. [s1] [reg1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version English is the primary language of the site; a Chinese version is published at zh.longwoodclinic.com. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [reg1] | 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 Treatments index, the individual treatment pages and the contact page were read; no price list, ranges or consultation fee is published. [s1] [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s1] [s3] | 0/2 |
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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 185 five-star, 4 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star, 5 one-star. The buckets sum to 195, matching the 195 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.862 reproduces the published 4.9. [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. [gmp1] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 1 month old, which proves the within-3-months 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] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replies to reviews on the Google listing: 1 of the 5 newest reviews answered, owner reply dated 2026-08-07 (read 2026-09-26). [longwood-dental-taipei-gbp-2026-09-26] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the three reviews Google renders is critical; all three are five-star and two of them are from English-speaking patients. The histogram carries five one-star and one two-star ratings out of 195 (3 per cent) that the visible sample cannot reach, so this reading rests on the sample rather than on the whole base. 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 185/4/0/1/5 shape carries a genuine negative tail rather than the clean five-star wall manipulation produces, and the three visible reviewers hold 2, 31 and 3 reviews and describe three different treatments across a month, four months and a year. 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 Facebook page linked from the clinic's own site footer. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for the clinic's name and a short form of it; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [longwood-dental-taipei-tripadvisor] [longwood-dental-taipei-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Its dentists are reviewed on Dent&Co, Taiwan's dental review and booking site (605 patient reviews across 8 dentists of the clinic). [longwood-dental-taipei-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray | 0/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Invisalign and MRC, with a named orthodontist on the roster. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Wisdom tooth extraction page plus a named oral and maxillofacial surgeon. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry | 0/1.5 |
| ✗ | Emergency care The treatments index and contact page make no mention of emergency or same-day appointments. [s1] [s3] [s4] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients The practice presents itself in English to international families and expatriate residents. [s1] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available LINE account linked from the site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |

| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Monday to Friday 10:00-18:30, with evening appointments from 19:00; no weekend sessions published. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
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 [sqb] | 1/1 |

| ✓ | Structured data on website schema.org LocalBusiness JSON-LD with postal address and telephone. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain, not a directory entry, is what surfaces for its name and for its core treatments. [sqa] [sqb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Separate pages for implants, Invisalign, veneers, whitening, root canal, gum disease, wisdom tooth extraction, TMD and sleep apnoea. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: Institution code 3701105565 — Longwood Dental, private dental clinic, operating status: operating, No. 185, Lequn 2nd Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei; NHI-contract flag: no (no National Health Insurance contract). MOHW medical institution search, checked 2026-09-04. (The institution code is the licence-side identifier Taiwan publishes; the register lists only institutions that are currently operating. The clinic does not publish this code itself. Absence from the National Health Insurance contracted list is consistent with a private-pay practice and is not evidence of any licensing problem.) [reg1]
