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 Verified negative: the clinic offers relaxing medication for anxious patients ("avslappende medisiner") but documents no general anaesthesia or deep/IV sedation, which is what this criterion requires. [s5]

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
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Own domain resolves and returns a live clinic page in this pass (checked 2026-09-07). [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic’s own site names "Tannlege Caroline Toftegaard" as a dentist at the practice, alongside the practice name itself carrying the founders’ surnames ("Njøsen og Øren"). [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed Verified negative: the clinic names dentist Caroline Toftegaard but states no qualification or specialisation for her. [s1] [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Resolved by looking at the images rather than at their filenames. The clinic's own homepage leads with a group photograph of five identifiable members of this practice in scrubs, standing in front of the artwork of its own premises - genuine photography, not stock. The Wix hashed filenames that made this unjudgeable from the markup are irrelevant once the page is rendered. [s6] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Own /tjenester page publishes a concrete service list, each with its own page: fyllingsterapi, rotfylling, kroner og broer, skallfasetter, AirFlow, proteser, tannkjøttsbehandling, estetisk tannbehandling, kjeveleddslidelser. [s5] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Street address, phone number and (where present) booking contact are published on the clinic’s own site. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version No /en/ path or "English" nav link found on the homepage in this pass. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Address confirmed on the clinic’s own site and cross-checked against a live Google Maps place lookup on 2026-09-07. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
13 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Refuted the research pass's "no price content distinguishable from page furniture": the clinic's own /priser page publishes a permanent itemised NOK price list, read live 2026-09-07 — examination 680, x-ray per image 130, cleaning 530 / 1 190, anaesthesia 210, three filling tiers, three root-canal tiers, crown 7 500–8 000, veneers 8 500, full and partial dentures, whitening, aligner consultation, hourly rate 2 500. Disclosed: the page is headed "Priser for 2026 kommer snart", so the published figures are the standing (2025) list. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed "Tannrens ved undersøkelse 530" and "Tannrens utenom undersøkelse, inkl. AirFlow 1190,-". [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed "Liten fylling 690 - 1390,-", "Middels stor fylling 1390 - 1890,-", "Stor fylling 1790 - 2090,-". [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed "Krone 7500 - 8000,- (pris inkl. tannteknikk)". [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed Verified negative: the clinic's own price list carries no implant line, and its service page states that implant and surgical work is referred to partner oral-surgery specialists rather than performed in-house. [s4] [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed "Konsultasjon/undersøkelse av pasient 680,-". [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed "Røntgenbilde per bilde 130,-". [s4] | 2/2 |
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.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) Confirmed on the live place page 2026-09-08. Star histogram: 16 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 2 one-star; the buckets sum to 18, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.556 reproduces the published 4.6. A separate practice, Laguneparken Tannklinikk, holds its own listing at the same Laguneveien 9 health park and is not this card. [gmpb] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed against the place-page header 2026-09-08; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmpb] | 0.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency The newest visible review is a year old, which proves the within-a-year bucket and no better. Sample: the 8 reviews the place page's Reviews tab renders in Google's own Most-relevant order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmpb] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 3 of the 8 visible reviews. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One readable negative in the visible sample - a one-star from two years ago describing a scaling and Airflow appointment that left the reviewer's tongue and gums badly sore. Single instance, no second complaint on that or any other theme. Negative mass in the histogram is 2 of 18 = 11.1 per cent. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Dates spread across six years, varied reviewers, no burst. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic’s own site links its Facebook page. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Lagunen Tannlege Bergen" and "Lagunen dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor. [lagunen-tannlege-bergen-deepen] [lagunen-tannlege-bergen-deepen-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Legelisten.no, the Norwegian dentist review site, lists the practice as "Tannlegene Njøsen & Øren" at the same address, phone and website; its dentist Berit Anne Njøsen has 3 patient ratings there (5.0), the practice page itself none. [lagunen-tannlege-bergen-deepen-4] [lagunen-tannlege-bergen-deepen-3] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
5.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray The clinic's own service page states "Vi bruker lavdosert digitalrøntgen", and "Røntgenbilde per bilde" is priced at 130,-. [s5] [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) Verified negative: the service pages and price list document only low-dose digital intraoral radiography; no CBCT. [s5] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implantology Verified negative: implants appear neither in the clinic's own service list nor in its price list; the service page routes surgical work to partner specialists ("Vi samarbeider med dyktige spesialister i oralkirurgi"). [s5] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics "Usynlig tannregulering med Dentiline" is described on the clinic's own service page, and "Konsultasjon/behandlingsplan Dentiline 1500,-" is priced. [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Oral surgery Verified negative: the clinic states it cooperates with oral-surgery specialists so patients get a specialist appointment quickly — surgery is referred out, not offered in-house. [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Verified negative: the clinic's own service list publishes no children's dentistry. [s5] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic's own service page publishes: "Akutt hjelp — Vi gjør vårt beste for å gi time på dagen. Alle våre faste pasienter er garantert hjelp innen noen få timer". [s5] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
2.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available Verified negative: no wa.me / api.whatsapp.com contact link on the clinic's own site, checked 2026-09-07. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken Not established: the clinic's own site has no English version and no English-language patient account appears on it. Covered by the browser reputation pass (the criterion admits consistent review evidence). | 0/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each service has its own plain-language explanatory page. [s5] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Opening hours published on the live Google Maps listing: "Closes soon · 3:30 pm" (read 2026-09-07). [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |

Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Norway", "English speaking dentist Norway", "dental implants Norway", "emergency dentist Norway", "Norway dental clinic for expats".

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. |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened - rating and count confirmed with the full histogram, recency, owner replies, complaint reading and manipulation check recorded. The clinic's Wix site was rendered and its team photography judged genuine, closing the realClinicPhotos record on file line. googleMapsUrl replaced with the place URL. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: the research pass left pricesPublished null saying the /priser link returned no extractable price content — the page in fact publishes a full permanent NOK list, so six price fields are now verified true and implantPriceListed a verified false. The clinic's own /tjenester page was opened, yielding a verified service list, orthodontics, emergency care, x-ray, dedicated service pages — and verified negatives on implantology, surgery (both referred out to partner specialists), paediatrics, sedation, CBCT and structured data (the site carries only a bare WebSite JSON-LD node). Rating 4.6 re-confirmed and a live review count of 18 recorded. realClinicPhotos stays null: the site is a Wix build whose images carry hashed filenames that cannot be judged genuine without a visual check —. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: own website (named dentist found) and a live Google Maps place lookup (Business Profile carries the founders’ surnames plus "Lagunen Helsepark"; clinic’s own self-published name "Lagunen Tannlege" used for the card). Price page link exists but no extractable price content found in this pass — left null. aiVisibility checked against the AI-visibility pass — not found in any of the five Bergen 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. |
