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 document no general anaesthesia or deep sedation. [s1]

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 team, service, gallery and booking sections and real body content. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic names Dr. Samir Kumar Bashak and Dr. Md. Selim Hossen on its own front page. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Both carry BDS (SOMC) with their registration numbers, and one is published with PGT in conservative dentistry. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The listing's photographs were downloaded at full size and looked at on 2026-09-11. They show these premises: the reception, a wall carrying the practice's own "CLASSIC DENTAL CARE" nameboard and tooth mark above an orange reception desk, with a Bengali service board beside it; a treatment room with the chair, cabinetry and washbasin; and a clinician treating a patient in that same room with a relative waiting alongside. Genuine premises, not stock imagery. [gm2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic publishes root canal treatment, braces and orthodontic correction, teeth whitening, implants and general advanced dental care, each with a description. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details A booking number, a stated urgent-care line and the full building address are published on the clinic's own site and match the Google listing. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The site is published in English throughout. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The building, road and city are published on the clinic's own site. [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 anywhere on the clinic's own site; the practice describes itself as offering affordable solutions without naming a figure. [s1] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed No cleaning or scaling price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed No filling price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No crown price is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Implants are a published service with no price. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed No consultation fee is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed No imaging price is published. [s1] | 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), confirmed by a second read the same day with a different query form. [gm1] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume 79 reviews, re-read from the listing's own place record on 2026-09-11; the star histogram (1★=1, 2★=0, 3★=0, 4★=1, 5★=77) sums to exactly that figure. [gm1] [gm2] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-08-02 (listing read 2026-09-25). [the-classic-dental-care-sylhet-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on 2026-09-11: all five reviews the listing renders carry a reply from the practice, four of them posted the same day as the review. The replies are very short — "Thanku so much" and the like — but they are individually posted rather than pasted in a single batch, and they include a reply to the listing's four-star review. None of the five readable reviews is critical, so whether criticism gets an answer is untested. [gm2] | 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★=1, 5★=77: exactly one review in the whole base of 79 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. [gm2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Star histogram read on 2026-09-11: 1★=1, 2★=0, 3★=0, 4★=1, 5★=77 across 79 reviews, averaging 4.94, with a one-star and a four-star rating standing. The five readable reviews spread over 67 days rather than clustering on a day or two, the texts are long and specific — named clinicians, named procedures, one written by a fellow healthcare professional about a family member's extraction — and the practice answers each one. All five authors happen to hold a single review, which is the ordinary pattern across every listing in this country set and is not treated as a signal on its own. No burst and no repeated wording. [gm2] | 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 "The Classic Dental Care Sylhet" and "Classic Dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [the-classic-dental-care-sylhet-tripadvisor] [the-classic-dental-care-sylhet-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
5.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray The clinic describes modern equipment without naming an imaging unit. Left unset rather than recorded as a denial. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) No cone-beam CT or 3D imaging is claimed anywhere on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implant treatment is published, and one of the site's own patient testimonials is from an implant patient. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Braces and modern bite correction are a published service line. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Oral surgery Implant placement is offered, which is surgical, but no extraction or oral-surgery service line is published. Left unset. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry No children's dentistry entry appears in the published services. Left unset rather than recorded as a denial. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic publishes an urgent-care line — "for urgent dental care, call us anytime" — and reserves Fridays for emergency cases. [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 A WhatsApp contact is published on the clinic's own site alongside its voice number. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken The clinic's own site and patient material are published in English. [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible An appointment form asking for a preferred date is published on the clinic's own site. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each treatment is explained in plain English, with a stated emphasis on explaining each step to the patient. [s1] | 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 10:00–14:00 and 17:00–22:00 with Friday closed, matching to the minute the week published on its website. Evening sessions run to 22:00 — the longest working day of the Sylhet cards here. [s1] [gm2] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
4.5 / 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 front page first and its gallery page in the first four, with its own Facebook page and a local directory alongside. [giq1] | 2/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-02). |
| 2026-09-11 | The dentist registration numbers this clinic publishes were moved into the licence column, each with a note saying plainly that the number is the clinic's own and that the national register could not be reached to check it. The register answered an automated request with a security challenge on 2026-09-11 and in any case searches by number only, behind an image captcha. Nothing about these numbers is verified; what changed is that the card now shows the number the clinic publishes instead of saying nothing. |
| 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 newest dated review is 6 June 2026, seven days outside the three-month band, the practice answers every readable review, and one review in 79 sits below three stars, which puts a repeated complaint out of arithmetic reach. The photographs were downloaded and examined and show the clinic's own branded reception and treatment room. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification. Every claim on the card was re-read against its sources and none was refuted; the live place page rendered no reviews for this listing, so the review-side fields stay unset and on the record on file. 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 site was read and the Google Maps place record was read directly twice; the five canonical city queries came from the AI-visibility pass. Two published BM&DC numbers (10634, 13082) were recorded and queued for a manual browser check. Review-side fields and clinic photographs left unset with reasons; both licence layers unset for register reasons. |
