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.
Summary
Dental clinic on Torggaten in central Bergen publishing a "Vi tilbyr" catalogue with one page per treatment: examination, Airflow, whitening, invisible orthodontics, fillings, root canals, bridges, veneers, crowns, dentures, surgery, sleep apnoea and aesthetic treatment. Its own NOK price list covers x-rays, surgical tooth removal (also by an oral surgeon) and implant crowns, while its first line, a new-patient examination bundle, is labelled an offer. Emergency care has its own page; the clinic's own site publishes no staff roster, and English-language patient accounts appear on it.

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
13 / 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 Verified negative, and it corrects the assumption the field was queued on. The Vart dyktige team section of the clinic's own About page is not an image gallery with names inside the pictures: opened in a browser on 2026-09-08 it contains a heading and nothing else, and the clinic's own server HTML confirms it - three empty layout columns under that heading. The site's navigation has no team, staff or dentist page at all. The only clinician named anywhere on the clinic's own channels is a passing caption in its embedded Instagram feed; patient reviews name several more, but reviews are not the clinic's publication. [s6] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed Verified negative for the same reason: with no roster published anywhere on the clinic's own site, no qualification or field of practice is attached to any named clinician. [s6] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's own domain hosts premises and staff photographs with clinic-specific filenames (Venterom.jpg, Velkommen-Christoffer-bjelland.jpg, Velkommen-kristine.jpg, DSC02464.jpg), not stock imagery. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The clinic's own site publishes a "Vi tilbyr" catalogue in its main navigation with an individual page per treatment: undersøkelse, Airflow, tannbleking, usynlig tannregulering, fyllingsterapi, rotfylling, bro, skallfasetter, kroneterapi, proteser, kirurgi, søvnapné, estetisk behandling. [s4] | 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
15 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Own /priser/ page publishes a permanent NOK price table with multiple line items (several prices in the 100s to low-1000s kr range plus a new-patient exam bundle) — read live 2026-09-07; the first published figure (exam+x-ray+cleaning, kr 1 090) is explicitly labelled "TILBUD" (offer) for new patients only, disclosed in the note. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed "Tannrens i forbindelse med undersøkelse" 400,- and "Tannrens utenom undersøkelse, inkl. AirFlow" 1 240,- on the clinic's own permanent price page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed "Tannfarget fylling, 1 flate" 1 440,- through "4 flater eller mer" 2 390,- on the same page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed "Krone*" 7 500 – 9 000,- and "Bro per ledd*" 7 000 – 8 500,- on the same page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed "Implantatkrone*" 16 900,- is published. Disclosed: the clinic prices the implant-supported crown, not the surgical placement of the fixture, which its price page routes to an oralkirurg ("Kirurgisk fjerning av tann eller tannrot hos oralkirurg" 4 900,-). [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed "Undersøkelse, 2 røntgenbilder og rens (kun nye pasienter)" is listed at kr 1 090, labelled "TILBUD" (offer) for new patients on the price page. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed "Røntgenbilde pr. bilde" 100,- on the same page. [s2] | 2/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
19 / 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: 264 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star, 0 one-star; the buckets sum to 266, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.992 rounds to the published 5.0. [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read from the place-page header 2026-09-08 - the count the automated read never returned in roughly fifteen attempts and the open question asked for. It matches the figure the clinic's own embedded Google-review widget advertises (5.0 based on 266 ratings) exactly, so in this case the widget is an accurate copy; the value recorded here is nevertheless the one read from the place page itself. [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-14 (listing read 2026-09-26). [tannlege-bjelland-co-bergen-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to all 8 visible reviews. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The histogram holds no rating below four stars, so negative mass is 0 of 266 and there is no complaint to repeat. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns A near-perfect distribution (264 five-star against 2 four-star) is unusual enough to look at closely. Against manipulation: the dates in the visible sample run from 4 months to 4 years back with no cluster, the owner replies individually to every one of them, and the wording varies. Recorded false, with the shape of the histogram disclosed here so the reader can weigh it. [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 "Tannlege Bjelland & Co Bergen" and "Bjelland dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor. [tannlege-bjelland-co-bergen-deepen] [tannlege-bjelland-co-bergen-deepen-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Legelisten.no, the Norwegian dentist review site, has a page for the practice at the same address and phone: 4.5 of 5 from 8 patient reviews (newest 31 March 2026). [tannlege-bjelland-co-bergen-deepen-3] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
9.5 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray "Røntgenbilde pr. bilde" is a priced line on the clinic's own price list. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | CBCT (3D imaging) Verified negative: neither the price list nor the treatment catalogue mentions CBCT / 3D-røntgen. [s2] [s4] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology "Implantatkrone*" 16 900,- is published on the clinic's own price list (implant prosthetics; the fixture surgery is referred to the in-house oral surgeon). [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics "Usynlig tannregulering" has its own page in the clinic's own "Vi tilbyr" catalogue. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery "Kirurgi" has its own page in the clinic's catalogue, and the price list carries "Kirurgisk fjerning av tann eller tannrot" 3 090,- and the same procedure performed by an oralkirurg at 4 900,-. [s4] [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Verified negative: the clinic's own treatment catalogue publishes no children's dentistry. [s4] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care "Akutt Time" is a top-level item in the clinic's own navigation with a dedicated /akutt-tannlege-bergen/ page. [s5] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
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 Consistent review evidence on the clinic's own site: the Google-reviews widget it publishes on /om-oss/ carries English-language patient accounts of treatment received here ("Got referred here while working on a cruise ship … Hendrik made me feel completely at ease. He fixed my crown"; "I was visiting Norway … got an appointment with Dr. Caroline"). The criterion admits consistent review evidence; the site itself has no English version (englishVersion stays false). [s4] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each treatment in the "Vi tilbyr" catalogue has its own plain-language explanatory page. [s4] [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 |

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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-14). |
| 2026-09-08 | Browser reputation pass (I-3): live Google place page opened - the missing review count is 266, matching the clinic's own widget, and the full histogram, recency, owner replies and manipulation check are recorded. The team block on the clinic's About page was opened and found to be empty in the rendered page and in the server HTML alike, so dentistNamesListed and specializationsListed become verified negatives rather than browser-pending nulls. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: rating 5.0 re-confirmed independently; the review count could not be resolved automatically in fifteen attempts and is queued for a manual browser check (the clinic's own embedded Google widget reads 5.0 from 266 ratings, recorded in the note but not used as a Google field). The clinic's own about and emergency pages were opened, giving a verified service list, real premises photos, structured data, dedicated service pages, five further price fields from the price page the research pass had already cited, and English-speaking service evidenced by English patient accounts on the clinic's own site. dentistNamesListed stays null with a manual browser check line: the team section is an image gallery whose names are not machine-readable. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: own website (price page) and a live Google Maps place lookup. The headline price on the price page is an explicit new-patient offer (disclosed under the methodology's rule on promotional prices); pricesPublished still recorded true given multiple further NOK line items on the same permanent page. 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. |
