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.

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
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own /dentists/ page names Dr Yee Shi Yin (Co-Founder) and Dr. Bobby Dastani (Clinical Director). [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed The /dentists/ page gives clinic roles (Co-Founder, Clinical Director) only — no degrees, qualifications or specialities are stated for either dentist. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Cleanings, root canals, crowns, veneers, implants, whitening, Invisalign/braces, wisdom-tooth surgery, gum treatment, sleep apnoea, painless dentistry. [s1] | 3/3 |

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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-06 from the place page: 200 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 200, matching the 200 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 5.000 reproduces the published 5. [gmpI5] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmpI5] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | 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 The owner replied to every one of the three reviews Google renders; three owner replies stand under three reviews shown. 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 recurring complaints None of the three reviews Google renders is critical; all three are five-star and all three name the same dentist, 'Dr Bobby'. The histogram carries no rating below five stars anywhere in the 200-review base, so on this listing there is no negative tail at all for the visible sample to be missing - which makes the reading unusually complete, and unusually dependent on Google having surfaced everything. 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 This is the only listing in either of this agent's two countries whose histogram is a literal wall - 200 five-star ratings and not one rating in any other bucket - so it was examined rather than assumed benign. Against manipulation: the three visible reviewers are three plainly different accounts (a Local Guide holding 123 reviews and 125 photos, a Local Guide holding 12, and a plain account holding 10), their dates are spread across two, two and seven months, and their subjects differ (an anxious adult's first consultation, a detailed check-up and clean, a five-year-old child). A single-dentist practice can sustain a uniform five, and the wording carries no template. For manipulation: 200 consecutive five-star ratings with no four-star at all is a shape no other clinic in this set produces. The value is recorded as false because nothing observable proves a pattern, and the shape itself is written into this note and handed to the gate rather than scored. 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 |

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: 24D2091(L) - MOH HCI code (Mode of Service Delivery: L, Permanent Premises), registered as HAPPY TEETH FAMILY DENTAL at 275 Thomson Road #01-11 Novena Regency, Singapore 307645 (HealthHub Healthcare Directory, the Ministry of Health's public institution register, read in a browser 2026-09-06) (The registered premises address matches the card to the unit number. The register also publishes the premises' declared hours as 08:30 to 17:30 on every day of the week including Sundays and all public holidays. No UEN is published on the record. UEN not found: sgpbusiness.com searches for "HAPPY TEETH FAMILY DENTAL" and "HAPPY TEETH" both return zero results — no entity of that name, live or otherwise, is on the ACRA-sourced register. The practice's own site does not publish a separate legal/trading name, so it is most likely operating as a sole proprietorship registered under the dentist's personal name, which is not discoverable by a trade-name search. No UEN is available from this source. (sgpbusiness.com, an ACRA-sourced business register copy, read 2026-09-07)) [hh1] [acra1]
