General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Reputation & Reviews
14.5 / 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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 58 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 1 one-star. The buckets sum to 60, matching the 60 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.917 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmpI5] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmpI5] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 2 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpI5] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Only 8 reviews dated within the last 24 months were read, none with an owner reply; fewer than ten, so whether the owner answers reviews stays open. [asia-pacific-dental-centre-tampines-deepen-19] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints None of the three reviews Google renders is critical; all three are five-star, and all three name the same dentist (Dr Samuel, who appears on the group's own published roster as Dr Samuel Wong Wen Jun) or his assistant. The histogram carries 1 one-star rating out of 60, 1.7 per cent of the base, which the visible sample cannot reach. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpI5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The 58/1/0/0/1 shape has a populated four-star bucket and a genuine one-star rating, and on a 60-review base the empty middle carries no information. The three visible reviewers hold 2, 2 and 12 reviews, describe three different encounters and post two and four months apart. No manipulation signature. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpI5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Clinic's own site links its Facebook page [asia-pacific-dental-centre-tampines-deepen-12] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing: two searches of TripAdvisor's own index on 2026-10-01 find nothing for the clinic; the clinic's website does not link one. [asia-pacific-dental-centre-tampines-deepen-13] [asia-pacific-dental-centre-tampines-deepen-14] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No clinic profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot (checked 2026-10-01).

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 22D0341(L) - MOH HCI code (Mode of Service Delivery: L, Permanent Premises), registered as ASIA PACIFIC DENTAL CENTRE (TAMPINES) at 872C Tampines Street 86 #01-02, Singapore 523872 (HealthHub Healthcare Directory, the Ministry of Health's public institution register, read in a browser 2026-09-06) UEN 202212033W — ASIA PACIFIC DENTAL CENTRE (TAMPINES) PTE. LTD., Live Company, incorporated 7 Apr 2022, registered office 1 Scotts Road #04-08, Shaw Centre, Singapore 228208 (sgpbusiness.com, an ACRA-sourced business register mirror, read 2026-09-07). (The registered premises address matches the card to the unit number, and is a fourth independent confirmation of the branch address the verification pass had to rebuild after the card's cited domain turned out never to have existed. The register publishes the premises' hours to 21:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays. No UEN is published on the record. The entity name matches the MOH licensee name exactly, including the (TAMPINES) branch qualifier; the registered office is the group's shared corporate address at Shaw Centre, not this branch's 872C Tampines Street 86 premises — the same shared address the group's Novena sister entity carries.)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Checked TripAdvisor, WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed and Trustpilot on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on any of them, so TripAdvisor presence and presence on other review platforms are recorded as absent. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic’s group website (services, implants, team, locations and contact pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: twelve named-dentist photographs published on the practice’s own site; a link to the practice’s own Facebook page; a group WhatsApp line; an online appointment-request form; evening opening on Mondays and Wednesdays and Saturday opening; site-wide Dentist structured data; no price figures for any listed treatment. Still unverified: TripAdvisor, other review platforms, on-site X-ray/CBCT equipment, and international-patient documentation. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name verification 2026-09-10: Samuel Wong Wen Jun found on the site's /team roster page (not previously fetched); source added. |
| 2026-09-07 | Close-out, 2026-09-07: UEN found via ACRA copy sgpbusiness.com: 202212033W, exact entity-name match, corporate registered address. |
| 2026-09-06 | Checked by hand in a browser: the Google Maps branch place page was opened in a real browser and read for the full Google reputation block and the pin, and the branch's MOH operating licence was read from the HealthHub Healthcare Directory. |
| 2026-09-04 | Adversarial verification pass 2026-09-04: the cited website https://www.apdcdentalsg.com/locations does not exist — the domain returns NXDOMAIN from an authoritative lookup, so it cannot have been read on 2026-09-04. It was replaced with the group's real locations page, https://apdc.com.sg/locations, which carries the same Tampines address (872C Tampines Street 86 #01-02, Singapore 523872) and a branch-direct line. D26070C re-checked live. |
