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 Ten dentists named on the homepage roster: Shih Kun-Yu (director), Yeh Chun-Yu (deputy director), Wang Yi-Hsun, Lin Han-Yu, Su Kuang-Wei, Lin Hsiao-Shan, Chang Po-Jen, Liu Cheng-Yu, Lin Yi-Ting, Fan Che-Wei. The MOHW institution record counts 4 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 A specialty line for every dentist, e.g. Lin Han-Yu — orthodontics / clear aligners; Liu Cheng-Yu — complete dentures / all-ceramic crowns. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic-environment page carries photographs of the waiting area, lobby, surgical room and equipment. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Homepage lists full-mouth reconstruction, All on 4 / All on 6, same-day implants, all-ceramic crowns, periodontal treatment, whitening and veneers, Invisalign and metal braces and the NHI-covered items (examination, cleaning, fillings). [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Two phone numbers, LINE and the street address in the header and footer of every page. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Traditional Chinese only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Address published with a Google Maps 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.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published The clinic publishes no price list. Its implant-cost article quotes Taiwan-wide market ranges (NT$30,000–150,000 per implant), not this clinic’s own prices. [s1] [s3] | 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
19.5 / 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: 1522 five-star, 35 four-star, 10 three-star, 5 two-star, 42 one-star. The buckets sum to 1614, matching the 1614 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.853 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. Read from the accessibility labels, not from a comma split: the four-digit bucket 1,522 and the header 1,614 both survive intact, and the buckets sum exactly to the header. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-18 (listing read 2026-09-26). [renben-ziran-dental-kaohsiung-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replied to the visible reviews individually and by reviewer 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 None of the three reviews Google renders is critical; one is from a patient who does not speak Mandarin and records that the service was still good. The histogram carries 42 one-star and 5 two-star ratings out of 1,614 (2.9 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 1522/35/10/5/42 distribution carries a full, graded tail over a base of more than 1,600 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/nature.dental. [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). [renben-ziran-dental-kaohsiung-tripadvisor] [renben-ziran-dental-kaohsiung-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Dent&Co profile carries several thousand public patient reviews. [s5] | 0.5/0.5 |

4.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.

| ✓ | Clear service explanations Long-form patient explainers on crowns, the implant procedure and implant-versus-bridge choices. [s3] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours The clinic publishes no opening hours anywhere on its site; booking is by phone or the third-party booking link. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |
