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) — Not verified The clinic's own website answers HTTP 403 from an Amazon CloudFront bot filter to every automated client. Re-probed on 2026-09-07 on both www and apex and on /about-us, /services, /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml: all five returned the same 403 interstitial, so no clinic channel could be read for this criterion. Queued for a manual browser check.
Summary
General and cosmetic practice on Kingsway in East Vancouver with the largest published review base of the six Vancouver clinics in this pass. Its own website is served behind a bot filter that returns HTTP 403 to an automated client, so everything on this card comes from the clinic's own Google Business profile and from independent listings; the website itself is queued for a manual browser check and most site-derived criteria are deliberately left unchecked rather than guessed.
Strengths
- Reputation & Reviews: 19.5 of 20 points.
- No red flags identified in public sources.
Weaknesses
No category fell below the weakness threshold (50% of verifiable points).
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
8 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ? | Has a working website Altadental.ca answers HTTP 403 to every automated client on both www and apex. Re-probed on 2026-09-07 on /, /about-us, /services, /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml: all five returned the same Amazon CloudFront bot-protection interstitial and no clinic content. The domain is not dead — the clinic own Google profile links it — but the methodology's rule judges liveness from the response body, and no body was obtainable, so this is recorded as unchecked and queued for a manual browser check. [g1] | 0/4 |
| ? | Dentist names listed The clinic's about-us page is titled "Meet the Vancouver Team at Alta Dental Studio" in the search index but could not be read automatically. Queued for a manual browser check. | 0/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed Depends on the unreadable team page. Queued for a manual browser check. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Newly settled in a browser on 2026-09-08 — the criterion had been null because the clinic's own site is unreadable behind a bot filter. The place page's lead owner photograph is the practice's own reception: its walnut-panelled wall carrying the «ALTA DENTAL STUDIO» lettering and the studio's monogram, with the desk and an orchid in front of it. Premises and signage together, so the criterion is met from a channel the clinic controls. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ? | Service list published The clinic's own Google description mentions routine care, cosmetic dentistry and implants in prose, which is not a published service list; the site's services page could not be read. Queued for a manual browser check. | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone and street address are published on the clinic's own Google Business profile and are consistent with the independent listings. [g1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version The whole site is in English, and the clinic is in an English-speaking country. [alta-dental-studio-vancouver-r6s-3] | 2/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
19.5 / 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 live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 733 five-star, 33 four-star, 4 three-star, 7 two-star and 20 one-star — sums to 797, matching the 797 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.822 reproduces the published 4.8. The card's own website, altadental.ca, was opened in a real browser on 2026-09-08 and **it is still blocked**: both www.altadental.ca/ and altadental.ca/about-us return Amazon CloudFront's «403 ERROR — The request could not be satisfied. Request blocked.» page to an ordinary Chrome session, exactly as they did to the automated client the day before. The bot filter is therefore not an automated-only obstacle, and the fourteen criteria that depend on the site stay null rather than being guessed. What the browser could supply instead came from the clinic's own Google record, which is actively maintained: the premises photography and the published opening week are now on the card. [g1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-08 from the place-page header, and the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card held 797 and the listing has not moved since. [g1] [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is one month old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 4 (edited), 7 and 11 months. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers all eight of the reviews visible on the place page on 2026-09-08. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Google's relevance ordering surfaces eight five-star accounts and no critical text, so nothing readable establishes a theme and the criterion is false with the unread mass stated: the one- and two-star share is 27 of 797 = 3.4 %, and none of those 27 accounts is surfaced. This is the largest review base in Vancouver. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order; a newest-first list was not available, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. The histogram fills every bucket (733/33/4/7/20) on a base of 797 — the ordinary shape of a large, busy practice. The visible dates spread across eleven months, the accounts describe different treatments and name different clinicians and hygienists, and the owner answers each individually. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic runs its own Facebook page. Facebook answers HTTP 400 to an automated client, which is its bot filter rather than a dead page. [fb1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence TripAdvisor's own search index was queried in a real browser on 2026-09-10, under the clinic name and again with the city appended; it carries no listing for this practice. [alta-dental-studio-vancouver-deepen] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms The clinic has a claimed Yelp page (2212 Kingsway; rated 4.5 from 2 reviews); no RateMDs, WhatClinic or Trustpilot profile.

The listing opens as «Alta Dental Studio», category Dentist, at 2212 Kingsway, in Kensington Gardens, Vancouver BC · +1 604-876-5032 · altadental.ca — the identifiers the card itself carries, so the place identifier resolves to this practice and not to a neighbour. | 2026-09-08 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Yelp page on 2026-10-05: the page is claimed by the business and has 2 reviews, so the clinic is recorded as present on a review platform. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): structured data found; separate service pages found; English version found. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: the card carried no dentist at all, because the clinic's own site is unreadable behind CloudFront. The British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals public register (read in a real browser 2026-09-10) lists Rosalie Gu, Full Dentist since 15 August 2022, with "Alta Dental Studio, 2212 Kingsway, Vancouver BC V5N 3A8, P: 604-876-5032" — this card's own address and telephone — as her third practice address; added as a named dentist with that register as the source. The register publishes no licence numbers, so no licence number is recorded. |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Yelp page now opens in a real browser but carries no review at all, so onOtherPlatforms stays null with the obstacle correctly described. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. Recorded from it: the rating re-verified against the star histogram, the review count, the histogram itself (733/33/4/7/20 = 797, weighted mean 4.822), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the eight most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph and the full published opening week. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification (no browser): all four mandatory sweeps run on the card; every cited URL re-fetched for liveness; the Google rating and coordinates re-read independently from the live place record and confirmed; the licensing block re-run against the province statutory register; TripAdvisor probed directly and found unreadable to an automated client. On this card, every field that rested on the language or content of search-index titles was returned to unchecked or re-sourced to the clinic own Google Business profile, the Facebook page was cited directly, and the sixteen criteria that sit behind the site bot filter now carry the reason on the record. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (automated): the clinic website returned HTTP 403 from an Amazon CloudFront bot filter on every attempt, so every site-derived criterion is left unchecked and written to the manual browser check rather than guessed; Google place page read automatically for rating, review count, coordinates, phone, categories and the clinic-written description; the five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass; index quality probed with a name-quoted search query. No dentist is recorded: the practice roster could not be read from the clinic's own channel, and attributing a name from a third-party insurer directory would not meet the identification bar. |
