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 No sedation or anaesthesia service is published. [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 live on 2026-09-07: service tree, doctor pages, contact page and a cost guide. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr. Hooman Moghavemi Tehrani and Dr. Shahdad Ayoughi each have their own page. [s2] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The practice presents them as implant dentists; the provincial register records Dr. Moghavemi Tehrani as a certified specialist in prosthodontics. [s2] [reg1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's Instagram account, linked from its own site, publishes photographs of its own surgery — the operatory with its chair and light, and a named dentist treating a patient (read 2026-09-10). [vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-2] [vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-3] [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Thirteen published implant service pages plus insurance and financing information. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail (info@vancouverdentalimplant.com) and unit address in the header and footer of every page. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Contact page with the unit address and an embedded map, and a matching Google place. [s4] [g1] | 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 The dedicated implant cost page explains what drives the price and offers a free consultation but publishes no figure; read in full on 2026-09-07. [s1] [s5] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed A page titled "Dental Implant Cost In Vancouver BC" carries no price, only cost factors and an invitation to a free consultation. [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The consultation is advertised as free but no fee schedule is published; the free-consultation claim is a marketing offer, not a price list. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [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 live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 46 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 0 one-star — sums to 46, matching the 46 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 5.000 reproduces the published 5.0. One identity detail is disclosed rather than resolved: the place record matches the card on name, street, unit and website but publishes the telephone +1 604-260-8691, where the card carries +1 604-438-1555 from the clinic's own site. [g1] [gmpb] | 5/6 |
| ◐ | 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 carried no count before this pass: the automated map method used in the initial data collection returns the rating but never the review count on this listing, which is why it was queued for a manual browser check. [gmpb] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is three months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 3, 3 and 4 months, then 1, 1, 1, 1 and 2 years. 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 No rating below five exists on this listing at all — the whole distribution is 46 five-star ratings — so there is no negative account to carry a complaint and the criterion is false on a complete distribution rather than on a sample. The base of 46, read here for the first time, is stated so the reader can weigh it: the card carried a 5.0 with no disclosed base before this pass, because the automated map method never returned the count. 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. A wall — 46 ratings, all five-star — and it is disclosed as such. Against a manipulation reading: the visible dates spread from three months to two years rather than clustering, the accounts name different clinicians (one names the practice's implant surgeon, another writes about a co-located general practice at the same address) and describe different courses of implant treatment at varying length, and the owner answers each one individually. On a referral-only implant practice with a base of 46 the shape is thin enough that it could not carry a signature either way, and that is stated rather than glossed. [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. [vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Reviewed on RateMDs: its dentist Dr. Shahdad Ayoughi has 137 patient reviews there, at the clinic's address. [vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-4] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic publishes 3D imaging and digital technology in its own Google Business description and on its site. [g1] [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) The clinic's own Google Business description names state-of-the-art 3D imaging used for implant planning. [g1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology The practice is built around implantology, with pages for single, full-mouth, All-on-4, mini, titanium and zirconia implants. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics No orthodontic or aligner service is published. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Dental implant surgery and bone grafting. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry No paediatric service is published; the practice is an adult implant centre. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Emergency dental implants and same-day implants have their own published pages. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✗ | Works with international patients The practice publishes a refugee dental programme but nothing about international patients, foreign insurance or paperwork in another language. [s1] [s4] | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available [s1] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible A book-an-appointment form is published on every page and a free consultation is offered. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each implant option has its own plain-language page. [s1] [s5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Confirmed on the clinic's own Google Business Profile, read in a browser on 2026-09-08: Monday to Friday 09:00–19:00 and Saturday 10:00–16:00, Sunday closed. A 19:00 weekday close and Saturday opening are both published clearly on the clinic's own record. [s2] [gmpb] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Canada", "English speaking dentist Canada", "dental implants Canada", "emergency dentist Canada", "Canada dental clinic for expats".
| ✗ | Mentioned for: best dentist Canada The clinic and its domain do not appear in the results of the canonical query. [sq1] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Canada The clinic and its domain do not appear in the results of the canonical query, which returned at least three Vancouver, British Columbia results and is therefore on target. [sq2] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: dental implants Canada vancouverdentalimplant.com ranks fourth in the results of the canonical query. [sq3] | 1/1 |
| ? | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Canada The canonical run of this query returned a page dominated by Vancouver, Washington: only one result belongs to Vancouver, British Columbia, so the SERP is off-target and absence from it is not evidence. Recorded as null rather than false. [sq4] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: Canada dental clinic for expats The clinic and its domain do not appear in the results of the canonical query. [sq5] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Structured data on website Three JSON-LD blocks including an OralImplantologist object with contact point, address, coordinates and opening hours. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own domain appears at ranks two, three and seven of the name-quoted query, but rank one is its Facebook page and more than half of the first twenty results are unrelated Instagram and Facebook posts about implants in general rather than pages about this clinic (web search, 2026-09-07). [giq1] | 1/2 |
| ✓ | Dedicated service pages Thirteen individual implant service pages. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

| fb1 | https://www.facebook.com/vancouverDentalimplant/ | 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. (The supports text of this source was missing from the card; it was written on 2026-09-10 from the finding the card itself records for it, and the page was not re-read on that date.) | 2026-09-07 |
| gmpb | https://www.google.com/maps/place/x/@49.2326922,-123.0241837,17z/da… | The clinic’s Google Maps place page, opened in a real browser on 2026-09-08. The Reviews tab (this URL) gives the headline rating, the review-count header, the five star-histogram buckets read whole from their accessibility labels, and the eight most-relevant reviews with their star values, dates, text and owner replies; the sibling Overview URL https://www.google.com/maps/place/x/@49.2326922,-123.0241837,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x54867722547b57cd:0x57a5822e45b022c3!8m2!3d49.2326922!4d-123.0241837?hl=en gives the listing name, address, telephone, website, business category, the full published opening week and the lead owner photograph. The listing opens as «Vancouver Dental Implant Center», category Dental implants provider, at 3665 Kingsway, Unit 230, floor 1 of Boundary Plaza, Vancouver BC · vancouverdentalimplant.com — the identifiers the card itself carries, so the place identifier resolves to this practice and not to a neighbour. | 2026-09-10 |
| vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen | https://www.tripadvisor.ca/TypeAheadJson?action=API&query=Vancouver… | TripAdvisor's own type-ahead search endpoint, the one its search box calls, opened directly in a real browser on 2026-09-10. Queried under the clinic name alone and again with the city appended, it returns no listing for this practice; the query broadens to dental-clinic listings in other countries instead. A control query for an existing dental-clinic listing (Old Igarashi Dental Clinic, Shizuoka) returns that listing at rank 1, so the method does surface dental clinics when they are in the index. The /Search results page itself never resolves past its loading spinner for a signed-out session, which is why the search endpoint is cited. | 2026-09-10 |
| vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-2 | https://www.instagram.com/vancouver_dental_implant/ | Read on 2026-09-10. The account is linked from the clinic's own site header and publishes the card's address, 3665 Kingsway Unit 230. Its post grid carries photographs taken inside the practice — a surgery with its chair and overhead operating light, a named dentist of this card treating a patient, and a staff member at a clinical counter — and it keeps a highlight titled 'Our office'. These are the practice's own premises, not licensed stock. | 2026-09-10 |
| vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-3 | https://vancouverdentalimplant.com/about-us/ | The clinic's own website, read in a real browser on 2026-09-10: the home slider is licensed stock imagery (gloved hands holding an implant model) and the about, contact and meet-the-dentists pages carry no photograph at all, so the site itself does not show the premises. | 2026-09-10 |
| vancouver-dental-implant-center-deepen-4 | https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/133267/Dr-S.+Shahdad-Ayoughi… | RateMDs, read 2026-10-02: profile of Dr. S. Shahdad Ayoughi, one of the clinic's two dentists, 137 patient reviews, at 3665 Kingsway, Suite 230, Vancouver, BC, V5R 5W2, the clinic's address (RateMDs names that location "Parkview Dental Vancouver") | 2026-10-02 |
Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Other review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's dentist has 137 reviews on RateMDs at the clinic's address. |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; realClinicPhotos moves null to true after the clinic's own Instagram account, linked from its site, was found to publish photographs of its own surgery; onOtherPlatforms stays null, with the record's dead Instagram handle corrected to the real one. |
| 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 (previously unknown — the automated map method never returned it), the histogram itself (46/0/0/0/0 = 46, weighted mean 5.000), 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, the Facebook field was re-sourced from the clinic own page, the platform-presence and TripAdvisor fields were returned to unchecked, and the missing review count was re-attempted across fifteen further query forms and three other Google surfaces without success. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection (automated): clinic site read in full including both doctor pages, the contact page and the implant cost page; Google place page read automatically (rating captured, review count not returned in eight attempts); both named dentists confirmed in the BCCOHP public register; the five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass; index quality probed with a name-quoted search query. Reputation fields other than the rating are left for a manual browser check. |
