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
Chatteshwari Road practice with the largest published team of the Chattogram cards: seventeen dentists are named with their degrees and postgraduate training, including an FCPS orthodontist who heads a dental-unit orthodontics department. It is also the only clinic in this city set that names its imaging equipment — a RAYSCAN cone-beam CT and a 3Shape TRIOS 4 intraoral scanner — alongside its autoclave. Emergency support by phone or WhatsApp and special care for children are published; prices are not.

Information Transparency
20 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Read on 2026-09-10: a current PHP site with dentists, about, contact and per-service pages and real body content. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own dentists page names seventeen: Dr. M Rizwanul Haque, Dr. Mahabub Alam, Dr. Umme Kulsum Nazneen, Dr. Saifat Meher, Dr. Fahmina Yeasmin, Dr. Afroza Begum, Dr. Afia Nourin Hoque, Dr. Aeysha Siddika, Dr. Tasnia Jabber Jinia, Dr. Nusrat Sharmin, Dr. Lubana Tahsin, Dr. Tahsin Anjum, Dr. Mustafa Redwanul Kawsar, Dr. Nishant Tarannum, Dr. Rukhshana Rumman, Dr. Tarannum Mahmood and Dr. Sadika Sabrin. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Degrees and fields are stated for most of the team — BDS with international training in implants, smile design, laser dentistry and clear aligners for the principal; BDS, BCS, FCPS in orthodontics with an assistant professorship and headship of an orthodontics department for the second; and BDS with PGT in oral and maxillofacial surgery, conservative dentistry, endodontics or periodontology for most of the rest. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The listing's photographs were downloaded at full size and looked at on 2026-09-11. All four are the practice's own uploads and they show these premises: a treatment room finished in the clinic's green livery with a clinician and assistant working on a patient; a large waiting lounge with a wall screen; a second waiting area behind a glass partition carrying the practice's own "Iconic Dental" mark, with a "Smile Makeover" banner standing beside the seating; and a clinical before-photograph watermarked with the clinic's full name. Genuine premises, not stock imagery. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes per-service pages of its own — oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry, micro-endodontics, orthodontics, clear aligners and more — each on its own URL. [s1] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details A booking number and the Chatteshwari Road address are published on the clinic's own pages and match the Google listing. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site is published in English throughout. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The address is published with a Google Maps link on the clinic's own pages. [s1] | 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 price list, ranges or fee page anywhere on the clinic's own site. [s1] [s3] | 0/3 |

| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed Cone-beam imaging is documented as equipment with no price. [s1] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
14 / 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) Read from the live Google Maps place record on 2026-09-10 (automated tile read, hl=en), confirmed by two further reads the same day with different query forms — all three returned 4.4. [gm1] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume 104 reviews, re-read from the listing's own place record on 2026-09-11; the star histogram (1★=12, 2★=2, 3★=3, 4★=4, 5★=83) sums to exactly that figure. [gm2] [gm3] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Dated from the listing's own review records on 2026-09-11, which carry exact timestamps rather than rounded labels: the newest review with a date is 10 July 2026, 63 days before the check. [gm2] [gm3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 4 of the 5 reviews read carry an owner reply, 1 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-02-25 (to a review of 2026-02-25). [iconic-dental-chattogram-r6rep] [gm2] [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints Of 104 Google reviews, 14 are one- or two-star (13 %); three of the five lowest-rated (2022-2026) criticise unprofessional or rude doctors and staff (read 2026-10-02). [iconic-dental-chattogram-r6rep] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Star histogram re-read on 2026-09-11: 1★=12, 2★=2, 3★=3, 4★=4, 5★=83 across 104 reviews, averaging 4.38. Twelve one-star ratings and a fully populated spread are the opposite of a manufactured base — nobody buys a distribution with this much dissent in it. The five readable reviews spread over eleven months and their authors hold 1, 3, 5, 8 and 9 reviews. What the twelve one-star reviews say remains unread and is recorded against the repeated-complaints criterion. [gm2] [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site and keeps photo albums there. [fb1] [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). [iconic-dental-chattogram-tripadvisor] [iconic-dental-chattogram-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Healtha or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-01).

Medical Infrastructure
13 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic names two imaging devices of its own on its front page: the RAYSCAN unit, which it describes as cone-beam computed tomography, and a VATECH HD intraoral sensor. Read on 2026-09-10. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) The clinic documents its RAYSCAN scanner explicitly as cone-beam computed tomography producing 3D images of the oral and maxillofacial region — the only named CBCT in this city set. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implants are in the practice's own name and the principal's implant training abroad is stated. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Orthodontics and clear aligners each have their own service page, and an FCPS orthodontist is named on the team. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery An oral surgery service page is published and most of the named team hold PGT in oral and maxillofacial surgery. [s2] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry The clinic publishes "special care for children" as one of its own service commitments. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic states it is available by phone or WhatsApp for dental emergencies and that it is ready to support any kind of dental emergency. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients Nothing about international patients, insurance or language support is published. Left unset. | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available The clinic states it is reachable over WhatsApp for emergencies and appointments, though it publishes the number rather than a click-through link. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic's own site and team profiles are published in English only; the principal's training in Singapore, Japan, the UK and the USA is stated. [s1] [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible Online appointment booking through the clinic's own site or Facebook page is offered. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatments and the imaging equipment are explained in plain English on the clinic's own pages. [s1] [s4] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed against a second channel on 2026-09-11: the practice's own Google Business Profile publishes Saturday to Thursday 15:00–21:30 with Friday closed, matching to the minute the hours printed in the header and footer of every page of its website. An afternoon-and-evening practice. [s1] [s2] [gm3] | 1.5/1.5 |

| ✓ | Google indexing quality A name search on 2026-09-10 returns the clinic's own domain first and in seven of the first twelve results (front page, contact, about, dentists and three service pages), with its own Facebook albums alongside. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Each treatment has its own service-details URL on the clinic's own domain — oral surgery, cosmetic dentistry, micro-endodontics and others. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (5 reviews read): recurring complaints yes. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Healtha or Trustpilot; the directory listing cited before is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputational check against the listing's own place record, which returned the star histogram, five reviews with exact dates and owner replies, the published opening week and the listing's photographs. Review recency was dated exactly to 10 July 2026 and owner replies were confirmed with dates. The outstanding question — what the twelve one-star and two two-star reviews say — was attempted and remains unanswered, because the listing renders only five review texts and all five are five-star; the criterion stays unset with the proportion disclosed. The photographs were downloaded and examined and show the clinic's own branded treatment room and waiting areas. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. Three things changed. The roster was completed: the clinic names seventeen dentists on its own page and the card had recorded seven, so ten were added and the qualifications of the two leads corrected against the page (the principal holds BDS, BCS, MS in endodontics and FICD, not BDS alone). The review count, unset after three tile reads, was recovered from the live place page (104, with a star histogram of 12/2/3/4/83 that sums to it). And the opening hours were recorded: the site publishes "Open Hour (Sat-Thurs) 03:00 PM to 9:00 PM" in its header and footer, contrary to the first-pass reading. The notes recording the state of the register were taken out of the published doctors table, where they had made each licence cell read "not published" instead of "not verified" — a denial the data never made. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, dentists, contact and a service page were read and the Google Maps place record was read directly three times with different query forms. The review count is unset because all three live reads returned the rating alone. Review-side fields, clinic photographs and the opening times left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check; both licence layers unset for register reasons. |
