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.

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 [y1] | 0/4 |
| ? | Dentist names listed No clinic-run channel found to check; practitioner's name known only from a third-party directory (rule A: does not count as clinic publication). | 0/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ? | Service list published | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Address "7, Les Mirabelles, Route La Salette, Grand Baie" and phone (230) 263 7485 published on the verified Yelo profile with the company manager named as Mehsouf Fugurally; consistent with the category listing. [y1] [y2] | 2/2 |
| ? | English website version | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address plus a map pin published on the Yelo profile (re-read 2026-09-04). [y1] [y2] | 2/2 |

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: 4 five-star, 0 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star, 1 one-star. The buckets sum to 6, matching the 6 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.000 reproduces the published 4. [gmp1] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 0.5/3 |
| ? | Review recency The newest of the three reviews Google renders is 3 years old, so no recency bucket is proven; left unknown rather than guessed at 'older'. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. The Newest sort does not open to the extension, so no fresher slice is available. | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews No owner reply appears under any visible review. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. The Newest sort does not open to the extension, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The visible sample plus the histogram account for almost the whole six-review base, and it contains exactly one one-star: a 4-year-old review from a patient in acute overnight tooth pain who says they called early and were not seen. It is readable, it is singular, and there is no second grievance to make a theme of it. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. The Newest sort does not open to the extension, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order. The Newest sort does not open to the extension, so no fresher slice is available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Active Facebook presence | 0/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms The Yelo company profile shows "0 Reviews" / rating 0.0 (re-read 2026-09-04) and no other review platform lists this practice, so there is no third-party review presence to credit. Being listed in a directory is not being reviewed on it. [y2] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray | 0/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology The practice's own description on its verified Yelo profile reads "Practice general dentistry and Implantology"; the profile is filed under the Dental Implant category. Listing last updated 2018-11-08, so the claim is dated. [y2] | 2/2 |
| ? | Orthodontics | 0/2 |
| ? | Oral surgery | 0/2 |
| ? | Pediatric dentistry | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Emergency care | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-06 | Combined browser pass (agent I-2, africa-south + Indian Ocean): Google Maps place page read live for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading and pin coordinates; clinic Facebook pages opened where the worklist asked; the five canonical visibility queries re-run as browser SERPs. |
| 2026-09-04 | Adversarial verification pass (agent D-mauritius): every cited URL re-opened on 2026-09-04. See scratch/wave4/verify/mauritius.md.

| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the Mauritius Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via a verified Yelo directory listing and cross-checked against the Dental Council of Mauritius 2026 register; no clinic-run channel found. Google rating/reviews and geo pending browser follow-up. |
