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) — Not verified
Summary

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
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website The clinic’s domain resolves and answers, but on 2026-09-04 every page of www.risingstar-dental.com returned the 53-byte body “can’t connect to db server” under HTTP 200 — a database failure, not a removed site. Every value on this card that rests on the clinic’s own site was read earlier the same day and could not be re-read during verification; the site is queued for re-reading once it recovers. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Ten dentists named on the doctor-introduction page: Huang Ting-Yu, Wang Pei-Wen, Lin Jung-Chen, Mao Nien-Ping, Chen Po-Hsieh, Hsueh Ming-Hsiang, Lo Hung-Te, Wang Chih, Tu Kang-Wei, Huang Cheng-Kai. The MOHW institution record counts 3 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 Specialty labels are published for Lin Jung-Chen (endodontics specialist) and Mao Nien-Ping (periodontics specialist); the remaining entries are named without a specialty label on the index page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos The homepage and case pages use CSS background imagery that could not be confirmed as photography of these premises without a browser. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Nine treatment areas published: comprehensive digital dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction (All-on-4), orthodontics, all-ceramic aesthetic prosthetics, microscopic root-canal treatment, periodontal treatment, Invisalign, general dental treatment, children's dentistry. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, LINE ID, e-mail, Facebook, Instagram and the street address on the contact page and in the site footer. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version Traditional Chinese with English taglines only; no English version. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address published in the footer of every page; matches the MOHW register entry. [s3] [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: the navigation has no fees section and the treatment and case pages carry no figures. [s1] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |

| ? | Consultation price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
18.5 / 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: 183 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 185, matching the 185 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.989 reproduces the published 5. [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 2 weeks 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 The owner replied under a visible review, a month after it was posted. 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 No review in the visible sample is critical and the histogram carries no rating below four stars anywhere in the 185-review base, so there is no unread negative tail to disclose. 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 183/2/0/0/0 wall is an unusually clean distribution and was examined rather than assumed benign. The three visible reviewers hold 1, 22 and 2 reviews, which was considered as a signal and rejected on the rest of the evidence: they write at very different lengths and in different registers, their dates span two weeks to several months, one describes a specific course of treatment with the dentist checking for pain throughout and being given mouthwash and toothpaste afterwards, and the owner answers them individually rather than uniformly. A young practice with a short, concentrated review history produces this shape. Nothing was found that carries a manipulation signature, but the shape is recorded here as weighed rather than assumed, and it should be read alongside the fact that this clinic's own website has been serving a database error under HTTP 200 since at least 2026-09-04. 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 Facebook page and its Instagram account, risingstardental. [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). [rising-star-dental-tainan-tripadvisor] [rising-star-dental-tainan-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Dent&Co profile carries 197 public patient reviews. [s5] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9.5 / 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) The clinic's own site, live again on 2026-09-07, publishes a dedicated article for its PreXion 3D cone-beam CT, dated 2026/08/21, alongside a Navident implant-navigation section. Filled here because could not open the site at all and a second check read it while it was serving a database error. [y1b] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Comprehensive digital dental implants and All-on-4 full-arch reconstruction, with a Navident dynamic implant navigation system documented on the homepage. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Orthodontics and Invisalign among the published treatment areas. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Implant surgery under dynamic navigation and All-on-4 full-arch reconstruction. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Children's dentistry among the published treatment areas. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Emergency care | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
4.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available LINE ID @328opimd published in the site header and footer. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken | 0/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Case and knowledge articles explain treatments in plain language, e.g. how implant systems have changed. [s4] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours The clinic publishes a rota rather than a fixed timetable: a fresh clinic-schedule image roughly every four weeks, the current one covering 8/17–9/12 and posted 2026-08-20. It runs three sessions a day — morning 09:00–12:00, afternoon 14:00–17:00 and evening 18:00–21:00 — with the evening session staffed every weekday of the period, Saturday morning cover on three of the four Saturdays and no Sunday opening. Weekday evenings to 21:00 are what makes this true. The rota is published only as an image, so no text-based check can see it; it was read on 2026-09-07, the first day the site was reachable since the passes. [y1a] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
3 / 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 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Taiwan Web search 2026-09-06: not among results for "English speaking dentist Tainan"; the answer states results for Tainan specifically were limited and points to the AIT directory instead of a named clinic. [sq2] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: dental implants Taiwan Web search 2026-09-06: not among results for "dental implants Tainan" (top result was Mu Shan Hao Dental Clinic). [sq3] | 0/1 |

| ✓ | Structured data on website schema.org JSON-LD present in the page source. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Google indexing quality own domain risingstar-dental.com appears only once, last among 10 results; the clinic's distinctive Chinese name is heavily diluted by unrelated similarly-named Tainan/Taichung clinics (Starlit, WeShine, Star Clinic) and two unrelated hotel Wikipedia entries (web search 2026-09-07) [giq1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages A separate page per treatment area under the services section. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
