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 [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Five named dentists with photos: Dr. Deepak Vashisht, Dr. Alluru Amrutesh Reddy, Dr. Gérard Leonide, Dr. Antonella Sydonie, Dr. Divya Indur. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Roles labelled: Implantologist, Prosthodontist, Specialist Orthodontist. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Settled by rendering the site and looking at the images on 2026-09-06, which is what the verifier's worklist row asked for. The three dentist images load as real photographs (dr-deepak 460x817, dr-alluru 320x480, dr-gerard-leonide 320x426, all served as .webp): Dr Deepak Vashisht's is a candid outdoor portrait of an identifiable individual in a polo shirt, not a studio shot in scrubs of the kind stock libraries supply, and it sits beside his own name, title and qualifications. Two equipment photographs (sirona-prime-mill, cbtc-scanner) accompany them and may well be manufacturer imagery, but the criterion asks whether the site shows genuine photographs rather than only stock, and the named-dentist portraits settle that. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version Site defaults to English with a full French mirror under /fr/ (HTTP 200, declared with hreflang en-MU / fr-MU and listed in the sitemap). [s1] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Address published on the site and in its schema.org PostalAddress; the clinic's own hasMap short link resolves to the Google Maps place page for "St Jean Dental Care", whose pin (-20.2611122, 57.4832305) reverse-geocodes to Saint Jean Road, Quatre-Bornes — the street the clinic publishes. Those coordinates are now this card's geo; the earlier note that a third-party map link for this clinic resolved to an unrelated business ("Smart Clinics Ltd") no longer applies because the clinic's own link was used. [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 No prices anywhere on the site or its blog (checked homepage and full sitemap: home, contact, two blog posts, no pricing page). [s1] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Implant price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Consultation price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |
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: 428 five-star, 6 four-star, 1 three-star, 0 two-star, 11 one-star. The buckets sum to 446, matching the 446 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.883 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-06 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 3 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. 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] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | 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 None of the three reviews Google renders is critical. Recorded for honesty: eleven of the 446 ratings are one-star, which is a larger absolute negative tail than any other Mauritius card, and the visible slice does not reach any of them. 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 Examined because 4.9 over 446 is the largest review base in the country. Not flagged: the histogram keeps a real negative tail of eleven one-star ratings, the visible reviews are long, specific and individually worded (one from a self-identified medical doctor, two describing implant treatment by a named dentist), and their dates spread across months. 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 The clinic's own schema.org markup publishes its Facebook page in sameAs: facebook.com/p/St-Jean-Dental-Care-100063832801980/. The page itself is not readable without a browser. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ? | Other review platforms | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Panoramic X-Ray listed. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) In-house CBCT 3D Scanner. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Atraumatic tooth extraction, including wisdom teeth. [s1] | 2/2 |

| ? | Emergency care | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.

| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible "Book Consultation" call-to-action and an inquiry contact form with a service-of-interest field. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Mon/Wed/Thu/Fri 08:30-19:00, Tue/Sat 08:30-17:00, Sun 08:30-14:00 (evenings and Sunday). [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
