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 Site's own Sedation Dentistry page: 'Conscious Sedation allows you to remain awake and responsive' - explicitly not general anaesthesia. [affinity-dental-clinics-sedation]

| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |

Reputation & Reviews
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) as of 2026-08-25 [affinity-dental-clinics-refresh] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume [affinity-dental-clinics-refresh] | 2/3 |

| ? | No recurring complaints 1–2★ are 12.9 % of 186 (1★ 17 / 2★ 7 / 3★ 7 / 4★ 5 / 5★ 150); two of the five lowest-rated Google reviews concern cancelled or late appointments and the others raise different issues (facility condition, a consultation charge, a filling), so no common theme is recorded. [affinity-dental-clinics-deepen] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 10 Google reviews read (dated 2024-11-30 to 2026-09-19, from accounts with 1–170 reviews) show no burst of five-star reviews and no repeated opening wording; star histogram 1★ 17 / 2★ 7 / 3★ 7 / 4★ 5 / 5★ 150. [affinity-dental-clinics-deepen] | 2/2 |
