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
Private practice trading since 2010 with two Dhaka addresses, Banani and Uttara, built around laser and digital dentistry: a 3D intraoral scanner, digital smile design, guided implant surgery, clear aligners and a published 24/7 emergency hotline. Seven dentists are named on the team page, led by an FCPS oral surgeon holding US and European fellowships. Services are explained page by page; no price list is published, and the site's own schema.org block still carries the template's placeholder telephone and address.

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 Read on 2026-09-10: a large current site with per-service pages, a team page, a gallery and a contact page; body content, not a parked or placeholder domain. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The team page names seven dentists: Dr. Shihabur Rahman, Dr. Md. Rakibul Hasan, Dr. Sadia Afrin Swarnali, Dr. Faiza Nishat, Dr. Tasnim Alom, Dr. Ahmed Ahbab and Dr. Tasnima Fahmida. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Degrees and fields are stated per person — BDS, FCPS, FWFO (USA) for the senior consultant, described as a specialist in digital implants and smile design; BDS, PGT and BDS for the others. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The photographs on the listing were downloaded at full size and looked at on 2026-09-11. Three of the four are the practice's own uploads and they show the practice: the whole team, some thirty people in branded blue, standing under a banner reading "LASER DENTAL FAMILY" with both branch telephone numbers printed on it; the building frontage carrying the illuminated "LASER DENTAL" sign and the same Banani number; and a before-and-after treatment pair watermarked with the lead dentist's name. Premises and people, photographed on site — not stock imagery. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic's own navigation carries a full general and cosmetic treatment list — painless injection, digital scanner, filling, root canal, inlays and onlays, night guard, X-ray, check-up, scaling and polishing, periodontal treatment, emergency, extraction, digital smile design, intraoral scanning, clear aligners, veneers, whitening, braces, implants, gum contouring and depigmentation, crowns and bridges. [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Two branch hotlines, an e-mail address and both addresses in the header and footer of every page; the Banani number matches the Google listing. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The whole site is published in English (html lang="en-US"); there is no Bengali version. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Both branch addresses are published on the contact page with map links. [s4] | 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 anywhere on the site. The implant page states the cost "depends on your individual situation" and asks the patient to come in for an estimate; navigation carries no fees or pricing entry. [s1] [s3] [s5] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Scaling and polishing has its own service page with no price. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed Tooth filling has its own service page with no price. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed Dental crown and bridge pages carry no prices. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The implant page explicitly declines to publish a figure and refers the patient to a consultation. [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee is published on the contact or appointment pages. [s1] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed Dental X-ray is listed as a service without a price. [s3] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
15.5 / 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) Read from the live Google Maps place record for the Banani listing and confirmed on 2026-09-11: 4.8, and the star histogram behind it averages 4.84. The Uttara listing is a separate record and carries 4.7 from 288 reviews. [gm1] [gm3] [gm4] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume 127 reviews on the Banani listing, re-read from the listing's own place record on 2026-09-11; the listing's star histogram (1★=3, 2★=0, 3★=2, 4★=4, 5★=118) sums to exactly that figure. The practice's separate Uttara listing, which the first read could not put a number to, carries 288 reviews at 4.7 — a different average from Banani's 4.8, not the same one. [gm1] [gm3] [gm4] | 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 5 July 2026, 68 days before the check. Google renders a relevance-ranked selection rather than the newest first, so this is a proven floor — there is certainly a review inside three months, and there may be fresher ones the listing does not show. [gm2] [gm3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to reviews on Google: 3 of the 5 reviews read carry an owner reply, 1 of them to reviews from the last 12 months; the latest reply is dated 2026-07-20 (to a review of 2026-07-19). [laser-dental-banani-dhaka-r6rep] [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Of 129 Google reviews, 3 are one- or two-star (2.3 %); the lowest-rated read (2024-2026) raise different matters (a doctor who does not listen, treatment results, a late dentist; two ratings carry no text), so no complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). [laser-dental-banani-dhaka-r6rep] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No suspicious review patterns Recorded after reading both of this practice's listings on 2026-09-11, which is the only way the pattern becomes visible. Three of the five reviews this listing renders are dated 27 February 2026, all five-star, all describing root canal treatment by the same named dentist, and all three accounts carry exactly two reviews. On the practice's other listing, five of five reviews shown are dated 26 and 27 February 2026, again all five-star and again every account carrying exactly two reviews - and three of those five texts describe treatment at this branch, not at the one they were posted on. Two of the authors appear on both listings on the same day, and one of them posted the identical text to both. That is where the two reviews per account come from. The observation is about a cluster of a few reviews against a base of 127 whose histogram is otherwise ordinary, and no claim is made about who produced them. [gm2] [gm3] [gm4] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from every page of the site, alongside Instagram, YouTube, X and LinkedIn. [fb1] [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Laser Dental Dhaka" and "Laser Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [laser-dental-banani-dhaka-tripadvisor] [laser-dental-banani-dhaka-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Listed on the Bangladeshi directory AllInOneDoctor as an independent listing of the clinic's existence and address. [dir1] | 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 Dental X-ray is one of the clinic's own listed general services. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) The clinic documents a 3D intraoral scanner, a 3D face scanner and 3D printing, and its guided-implant page describes 3D scans, but no cone-beam CT unit is claimed anywhere on the site. [s1] [s3] [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology A dedicated guided dental implant page describing digital planning, surgical guides and All-on-4. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Dental braces and Invisalign clear aligners each have their own page. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Tooth extraction, gum contouring and implant surgery are published services; the lead dentist is an oral and maxillofacial surgeon by the Google listing's own categories. [s3] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry The published service list carries no children's dentistry entry, but the site does not state that children are not treated. Left unset rather than recorded as a denial. [s3] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The contact page publishes a "24/7 Dental Emergency" hotline and states that emergency cases are prioritised; the site also has a dental emergency service page. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients The clinic's own pages describe international training and certifications rather than services for foreign patients; no international-patient page, insurance handling 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 Both branch numbers are published as wa.me WhatsApp links with a "WhatsApp for Appointment" button. [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic's own site, team profiles and patient material are published in English only. [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible An appointment request form and WhatsApp booking are offered before any visit. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each procedure is explained step by step in plain English — what guided implant surgery is, how it is planned, what recovery involves. [s5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Published in two places that agree. The practice's own Google Business Profile, read on 2026-09-11, gives Saturday to Thursday 09:00–13:00 and 14:00–20:00 (Wednesday opening an hour earlier) and — unusually for the country — Friday 14:30–20:00, so the practice works every day of the week. Evening sessions run to 20:00 throughout. The same week is published in the practice's own structured data on its website. [s1] [s4] [gm3] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
9 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Bangladesh", "English speaking dentist Bangladesh", "dental implants Bangladesh", "emergency dentist Bangladesh", "Bangladesh dental clinic for expats".
| ✓ | Mentioned for: best dentist Bangladesh The canonical city query was run in the AI-visibility pass on 2026-09-10 (web search) and the clinic's own site appears at rank 4. [bsq1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Bangladesh The canonical query was run on 2026-09-10; the clinic does not appear in the returned result list, which is held by other Dhaka clinics and directories. [bsq2] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: dental implants Bangladesh The clinic's own implant page is the first result for this canonical query on 2026-09-10. [bsq3] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Bangladesh The clinic's own emergency page is the first result for this canonical query on 2026-09-10, and its contact page also appears. [bsq4] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: Bangladesh dental clinic for expats A page on the clinic's own domain appears at rank 7 for this canonical query on 2026-09-10. [bsq5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website Verified on 2026-09-10 by reading both JSON-LD blocks the page emits. The first is genuine practice markup — @type ["Organization","Place","Dentist"] with the clinic's two real telephone numbers, the real Uttara and Banani street addresses, opening hours, priceRange and accepted payment methods. The second is an abandoned template block that still carries the placeholder telephone "+8801XXXXXXXXX", a "House 00, Road 00, Dhanmondi" address and coordinates 23.745/90.373, none of which match either branch. Recorded as present on the strength of the first block, with the stale second block disclosed. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Google indexing quality A name-and-city search on 2026-09-10 returns the clinic's own domain first and in five of the first twelve results (front page, contact, team, locations and an article), with its own Facebook and Instagram profiles alongside. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Individual pages exist for implants, braces, aligners, veneers, whitening, root canal, scaling, X-ray, emergency and more, rather than one generic list. [s3] [s5] | 1.5/1.5 |

Red Flags
- low Suspicious review patterns (-3 pts) — The same reviewers posted on both of this practice's listings on the same day in February 2026, one of them word for word, and three reviews on the other listing describe treatment at this branch. Recorded as low rather than medium because the cluster is a handful of reviews against a base of 127 whose star distribution is otherwise unremarkable, and because nothing here shows who wrote them. [gm2] [gm3] [gm4]
Red-flag penalty applied: -3 points (capped at -20).

| 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 no. |
| 2026-09-11 | The review-pattern row was decided by reading this practice's second listing as well as this one. The same accounts posted to both on the same day, one text word for word, which is why each of those accounts carries exactly two reviews - and several of the reviews on the other listing describe treatment at this branch. |
| 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. Owner replies confirmed and recorded; review recency dated to 5 July 2026; the photographs were downloaded and examined, and show the team and the building under the clinic's own signage. The practice's Uttara listing was read for the first time and carries 288 reviews at 4.7, correcting the earlier statement that it showed the same 4.8 as Banani. The clean finding on review patterns was withdrawn to an open one: a small cluster of reviews is shared between the two branch listings on the same day by accounts holding exactly two reviews each, which is recorded in full on the card. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. The site emits two JSON-LD blocks and only the second is the stale template: the first is genuine practice markup and publishes the opening week, so the opening hours were recorded from it rather than left unset. The live place page gave the star histogram (3/0/2/4/118) and the review dates; owner replies could not be confirmed from it and stay on the record on file. The notes recording the state of the register were taken out of the published doctors table. As published notes they made each licence cell read "not published" instead of "not verified" — a denial the data never made, since nothing was ever searched for these dentists. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, team, gallery, contact and implant pages were read; the Google Maps place records for both the Banani and the Uttara listing were read directly; the five canonical city queries were taken from the AI-visibility pass. Review-side fields, clinic photographs and the published opening week were left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check; both licence layers are unset because DGHS does not license dental chambers and BM&DC is number-only. |
