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] [s2] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Confirmed by re-reading all 21 dentistry profiles on c-care.com one by one: exactly five state "Consultation at C-Care Grand Baie" with weekly hours — Lucknauth, Seegobin Vautey, Paronneau, Hosenally and Sibartie. The combined "our dentists" block on the dentistry-services page is network-wide across five DentCare branches and was not treated as branch-specific. [s2] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Individual doctor pages list qualifications and areas of specialisation in detail. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Detailed treatment list published (general dentistry through maxillofacial surgery) but no price figures anywhere on the site. [s2] | 0/3 |

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) DentCare Grand Baie has no Google Business Profile of its own. It is the dentistry business unit inside C-Care Grand Baie, and the only listing at that location is the hospital's: 'C-Care Grand Baie', 4.4 from 730 reviews, located in Mont Choisy Le Mall, phone +230 601 2500 - the card's phone digit for digit - linking c-care.com. That rating was deliberately NOT attributed. It is a multi-specialty private hospital's score across every department, its 730 reviews and its 80 one-star ratings are hospital-wide, and crediting a dental unit with them would be precisely the surrogate error the methodology forbids. A separate place called 'Dentcare Ltd - Clinique Dentaire' also exists and was checked and rejected: it sits at Beau Plateau Road, Labourdonnais, Mapou 31803 - a different town - lists the directory dentiste.mu as its site and carries a different phone, so despite the near-identical name it is not this card. Rating, review count, recency, owner replies, complaints and manipulation therefore all stay null. | 0/6 |
