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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented The published services and FAQ describe pain-free procedures under local anaesthesia; general anaesthesia or deep sedation is not documented. [s3]
Summary
Uttara clinic of about fifteen years' standing that is unusually explicit about foreign patients: it publishes an international-patients page covering advance booking, help with hotels and transport, itemised invoices for insurance reimbursement at home, and English-speaking staff. Nine clinicians are named with their degrees and roles, among them a head of department, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, a paediatric dentistry specialist, an implantologist and an FCPS orthodontist. Evening opening is published; prices are not.

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 current site with about, services, doctors, international-patients and contact sections and real body content. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The doctors page names nine clinicians: Prof. Dr. Fahd A. A. Karim, Prof. Dr. Asma Karim, Dr. Kamrujjaman Kiron, Dr. Tazdik G. Chowdhury, Dr. ASM Ariful Islam, Dr. Farzana Boby, Dr. Osama Bin Noor, Dr. Kanij Fatema Jui and Dr. Sadia Akter. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Fields and degrees are stated per person — BDS, DDS, FCPS chief consultant and head of department; oral and maxillofacial surgery; paediatric dentistry and dental public health; implantology with BDS, MS; FCPS in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The listing's photographs 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 these premises: the street frontage under an illuminated "Smile Line Dental Care" sign with two telephone numbers on it and the clinic's logo etched on the door; a treatment room with the chair, monitor and instrument tray against a brick-effect wall; and the consulting desk. The fourth, a visitor's photograph, shows the corridor and the treatment room door. Genuine premises, not stock imagery. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic's own services page publishes aesthetic filling, root canal, scaling and polishing, implants, paediatric services and emergency services, each with a description. [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details One mobile number doubling as the WhatsApp line, an e-mail address and the Uttara street address in the footer of every page; the number matches the Google listing. A second number, 01767-052475, is printed on the clinic's own illuminated shopfront, photographed on its listing, and appears on no page of the site. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site is published in English throughout (html lang="en-US"). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The house and road are published site-wide with the postcode. [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 or ranges are published, including on the international-patients page, which describes "flexible payment options" and detailed invoices without naming a figure. [s3] [s4] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Scaling and polishing is described without a price. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed Aesthetic filling is described without a price. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No crown price is published. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed The implant section carries no figure. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee is published, including for international patients. [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed Digital X-rays and 3D imaging are described as equipment; no imaging price is published. [s3] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
16.5 / 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 on 2026-09-10 (automated tile read, hl=en). The listing carries the clinic's name in Latin and Bengali script. [gm1] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume 71 reviews, re-read from the listing's own place record on 2026-09-11; the star histogram (1★=1, 2★=0, 3★=0, 4★=5, 5★=65) sums to exactly that figure, which also settles the gap between the listing and the clinic's own website widget, which claims 66. [gm2] [gm3] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | 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. [gm3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Two of the five reviews the listing renders carry a reply from the practice, read on 2026-09-11, each posted the same day as the review it answers — 27 June and 5 July 2026. The replies are written for the individual patient rather than pasted ("Thank you for your valuable feedback. We're pleased to know you had a positive experience"). None of the five readable reviews is critical, so whether criticism gets an answer is untested. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Settled by arithmetic on 2026-09-11. The listing's star histogram is 1★=1, 2★=0, 3★=0, 4★=5, 5★=65: exactly one review in the whole base of 71 sits below three stars. The criterion needs at least three dated reviews by different authors describing the same complaint, and with one such review in existence that threshold cannot be met. No repeated complaint, proven on the full distribution rather than on a sample. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Star histogram read on 2026-09-11: 1★=1, 2★=0, 3★=0, 4★=5, 5★=65 across 71 reviews, averaging 4.87, with a one-star rating standing and a populated four-star bucket. The five readable reviews are spread over eighteen months, from January 2025 to July 2026; two describe families who have attended for ten years or more, and one names the treating dentist. No burst, no repeated wording. [gm3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic links its own Facebook page from its site. [fb1] [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Smile Line Dental Care Dhaka" and "Line Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-tripadvisor] [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Healtha, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-02). [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-platforms] [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-platforms-2] [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-platforms-3] [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-platforms-4] [smile-line-dental-care-dhaka-platforms-5] | 0/0.5 |
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 states its own equipment includes digital X-rays. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) The clinic claims "3D imaging" without naming a cone-beam CT unit, which is not specific enough to record either way. Left unset. [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dental implants are a published service and an implantologist is named on the team. [s2] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics An FCPS orthodontist heading braces, aligners and jaw development is named on the clinic's own doctors page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Two named clinicians are specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, described as handling complex dental and facial procedures. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Paediatric services are a published service line and a specialist in paediatric dentistry and dental public health is named. [s2] [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Emergency services are published as a service line — "quick, reliable dental care for urgent cases" — and the clinic states it is on call on Fridays. [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Works with international patients A dedicated international-patients page: advance booking, guidance on nearby hotels and transport, detailed invoices for reimbursement claims at home, and a statement that the team speaks fluent English. [s4] | 2/2 |
Communication & Service
8.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available A WhatsApp link on the clinic's own number is published site-wide and named as the channel for international patients. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic states on its own international-patients page that its team speaks fluent English, and the whole site is published in English. [s4] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible An international-patient appointment form and WhatsApp booking are offered, with treatment planning assistance before arrival. [s4] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatments and the international-patient route are explained in plain English, including an FAQ on what an implant involves. [s3] [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 17:00–21:30 with Friday closed. This is an evening practice — every session it holds is an evening one — which matches the week published on its website. [s1] [gm3] | 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 Bangladesh", "English speaking dentist Bangladesh", "dental implants Bangladesh", "emergency dentist Bangladesh", "Bangladesh dental clinic for expats".

| ✓ | Google indexing quality A name-and-city search on 2026-09-10 returns the clinic’s own domain in six of the first ten results (about, contact, FAQ, front page, international patients), with its own Facebook page and local directories alongside. [giq1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Dedicated service pages Services are presented on one page with expandable entries rather than individual service URLs. [s3] | 0/1.5 |

|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites re-read on 2026-10-02: no profile on the review platforms checked. |
| 2026-09-11 | A second telephone number the clinic prints on its own shopfront but publishes nowhere on its website was added to the contacts row. |
| 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, owner replies, repeated complaints and review patterns were all settled for the first time. The histogram sums to the listing's own count of 71, which settles the difference from the 66 the clinic's website widget shows. The photographs were downloaded and examined and show the shopfront under the clinic's own sign, a treatment room and the consulting desk. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. The review count, unset in the first pass, was recovered from a second live place read with a different query form (71). 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, doctors, services and international-patients pages were read and the Google Maps place record was read directly twice. The review count is unset because two live reads returned the rating without a count; the clinic's own widget figure (66) is recorded in a note rather than entered as data. Review-side fields and clinic photographs queued for a manual browser check; both licence layers unset for register reasons. |
