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.

Reputation & Reviews
12.5 / 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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing (its search and the clinic's site read); a Legelisten.no review page found; its Facebook page identified and active. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established; Google rating 4.6 (was 4.5) and review count 20 (was 19) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Arne Inge Gipling, Ismail Bouchiba Froberg, Katrine Døsvik, Maria Tranung confirmed via own-site roster page(s) not read in the original check (or matched under a spelling/transliteration variant). Source(s) added; license value(s) left exactly as on record. |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened; rating and count confirmed with the full histogram, recency, owner replies (none), complaint reading and manipulation check recorded. googleMapsUrl replaced with the place URL. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: one refuted assertion — onFacebook was true on the strength of contacts.facebook = "https://www.facebook.com/profile.php", a bare URL with no page identifier; re-reading six pages of the clinic's own site found no Facebook URL at all, so the flag is now a verified false and the contact is cleared. The aiVisibility pseudo-source cited a Norwegian query string the AI-visibility pass never ran — corrected. The clinic's own dentist and about pages were opened, giving six named dentists with detailed qualifications — now in licensing.doctors with honest null licences and with MNTF recorded as an association membership rather than a licence — plus CBCT, implantology, orthodontics, surgery, emergency care, five price fields, staff portraits and dedicated service pages, and verified negatives on implant pricing, paediatrics, sedation and structured data. Rating 4.5 re-confirmed and a live review count of 19 recorded. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: own website (permanent price list, dedicated implant page) and a live Google Maps place lookup. aiVisibility checked against the AI-visibility pass — not found in any of the four Trondheim canonical-query result lists, recorded as false throughout. Reputation beyond rating and licensing left null for the reasons stated on every card in this file. |
