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
20 / 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 Twenty-three dentists named on the medical-team section, headed by Liang Chiung-Yun (director) with Yang Jung-Wu as honorary consultant. The MOHW institution record counts 5 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. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The "About us" page assigns a specialty to each member of the group roster (oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, paediatric dentistry, prosthodontics, family dentistry). [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic-introduction page carries photographs of the premises. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The main-treatments section lists dental implants, periodontics, dentures and prosthodontics, root-canal treatment, orthodontics, 3D tooth milling, whitening and veneers, difficult extractions, general dentistry, cleaning, extraction and whitening. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address, phone and service hours in the contact block of every page. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version A full English version at /en/ with an English About Us, Overview, Our Team, Schedule and Contact Us. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Address published with a "navigate there" map link; matches the MOHW register entry. [s1] [reg1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
Reputation & Reviews
16 / 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: 861 five-star, 11 four-star, 4 three-star, 5 two-star, 27 one-star. The buckets sum to 908, matching the 908 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.844 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. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ? | Review recency The newest of the three reviews Google renders is two years old, so no recency bucket is proven and the value is left unknown rather than guessed at "older". The base is over nine hundred reviews, so fresher ones almost certainly exist; Google simply did not surface any. Sample: the three reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replied to all three reviews Google renders, individually. 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 None of the three reviews Google renders is critical. The histogram carries 27 one-star and 5 two-star ratings out of 908 (3.5 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 861/11/4/5/27 distribution carries a graded tail over a base of more than nine hundred 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 group site links this clinic’s own page, facebook.com/yyddental02, and its Instagram account. [s5] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Mu Shan Hao Dental Clinic Tainan" and "Mu Shan Hao"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [mu-shan-hao-dental-tainan-tripadvisor] [mu-shan-hao-dental-tainan-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms The Dent&Co profile exists but carries no patient reviews. [s6] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
11.5 / 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) A Finnish 3D cone-beam CT unit listed among the clinic’s equipment. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Ankylos and Astra implant systems documented; dental implants on the service list. [s2] | 2/2 |

| ✓ | Oral surgery Wu Chun-Yi, an oral surgery specialist and attending surgeon at Sin-Lau Hospital, handles difficult and impacted extractions, cyst removal and temporomandibular joint treatment. [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry A separate children's dentistry clinic rota with six paediatric dentists (Tang Pei-Hua, Yu Meng-Yun, Wu Yu-Ju, Chen Wei-Han, Lin Yi-Chun, Ho Hsin-Jung). [s1] [s2] | 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.

Red Flags
- low Aggressive marketing practices (-1 pts) — The clinic's own site hard-codes a schema.org aggregateRating into its markup: ratingValue 5 over reviewCount 58,629. The live Google Business Profile, read on 2026-09-06, shows 4.8 from 908 reviews — the declared volume is 64 times the real one, and the declared perfect five is not the rating the profile carries. The identical 58,629 appears on the sister clinic's site, so the figure is template boilerplate rather than a miscount. Nothing was taken from the declared block: this card's rating and review count come from the place page. [s1] [gmp1]
Red-flag penalty applied: -1 points (capped at -20).
