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
Midtbyen branch of Ty tannklinikk in central Trondheim. The published roster tags every practitioner with a branch and gives eight dentists here, three of them specialists in periodontics; the practice also names a prosthodontics and a maxillofacial-surgery specialist at its Liljendal branch. It runs a full English site with a permanent 67-line NOK price list and separate pages on discounts and HELFO reimbursement, and prices CBCT, implant surgery, implant crowns and surgical tooth removal; orthodontics, children's dentistry and general anaesthesia or sedation are not documented.

Information Transparency
20 / 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 Norwegian "Om oss" page publishes its full staff roster with names, roles and — importantly for a three-branch practice — an explicit branch tag on each person. Midtbyen (this card's location): Naomi Østergren Aarbu, Marianne Gätzschmann, Fredrik Paulsen, Emil Finnäs, Andreas Severin, Siri Ljøkjel Gaundal, plus Odd Bjørn Lutnæs and Leif Henrik Borge Olsen (Liljendal/Midtbyen).

[s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic's own domain hosts staff portraits named after the individual practitioners (Bjornketil-2.jpg and the rest of the roster gallery) alongside a stock header image; the criterion asks that photos are not only stock imagery. [s5] | 2/2 |

[s1] [s3] [s7] | 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 Refuted the research pass's "a Norwegian-language price page may exist but was not located": the clinic publishes a permanent itemised price list in English on its own site at /en/our-prices/price-list/, read live 2026-09-07 — 67 named treatments with NOK prices, plus separate pages for student and general discounts and HELFO reimbursement. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed "Simple cleaning and polishing as part of an examination" NOK 340; the new-patient and regular-patient examination packages also state that cleaning is included. [s4] | 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: 217 five-star, 3 four-star, 1 three-star, 3 two-star, 4 one-star; the buckets sum to 228, exactly the header count, and the weighted mean 4.868 reproduces the published 4.9. The listing is displayed as Ty tannklinikk at this Midtbyen address. [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Confirmed against the place-page header 2026-09-08; the star histogram sums to the same figure. It also confirms the clinic's own embedded review widget, which advertises the same 4.9. [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest visible review is 2 months old. 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] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to 7 of the 8 visible reviews. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints One negative in the visible sample, a one-star from 3 months ago whose entire text is a bare complaint about bad work with no readable detail, and no owner reply. Nothing to establish a theme, let alone a repeated one. Negative mass in the histogram is 7 of 228 = 3.1 per cent. Same relevance-ordered sample. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Dates spread across the past two years, varied reviewers, no burst; the histogram carries an ordinary low-star tail. 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 "Ty Dental Clinic Trondheim" and "Ty dental"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor. [ty-dental-clinic-trondheim-deepen] [ty-dental-clinic-trondheim-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 24 patient reviews (newest 24 June 2026). [ty-dental-clinic-trondheim-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 Digital x-ray, panoramic and CBCT are all priced lines on the clinic's own price list. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) "CBCT - 3D X-ray for specialized examination" NOK 2,110 (with reimbursement) / NOK 3,710 (without) on the clinic's own price list. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Surgical implant placement (NOK 18,020 / 10,495) and implant-based crowns (NOK 19,650) are priced on the clinic's own list. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Orthodontics Verified negative: the clinic's own 67-line price list and its treatments page contain no braces, aligner or orthodontic item; the practice presents itself as specialising in periodontics. [s4] [s6] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery "Surgical removal of wisdom teeth or deeply rooted teeth" NOK 4,895, apicoectomy, biopsy, abscess incision, cystectomy all priced; the practice names a specialist in kjevekirurgi on its own roster. [s4] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Pediatric dentistry Verified negative: neither the treatments page nor the price list publishes a children's dentistry service. [s4] [s6] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care "Emergency patient" is a priced examination category (NOK 900) and the treatments page opens with "Whether you need an emergency dentist in Trondheim…". [s4] [s6] | 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. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Naomi Østergren Aarbu, Marianne Gätzschmann, Fredrik Paulsen, Emil Finnäs, Andreas Severin, Siri Ljøkjel Gaundal, Odd Bjørn Lutnæs, Leif Henrik Borge Olsen 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. |
| 2026-09-09 | Editorial gate: display name changed to "Ty Dental Clinic (Midtbyen)". Ty tannklinikk AS (org. 997 391 497) runs three separate Trondheim clinics — Midtbyen (this card), Lademoen and Liljendal — each registered as its own sub-unit in Brønnøysund with its own address and telephone, and the rule requires a network branch to carry its city or district in the displayed name. The slug is unchanged: it is not factually wrong and changing it would change the URL. |
| 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. googleMapsUrl replaced with the place URL. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: the research pass left all seven price fields null because it never located a price page — the clinic publishes a 67-line permanent English price list at /en/our-prices/price-list/, so all seven are now verified true. Its Norwegian /om-oss/ roster was also opened: it names every practitioner with an explicit branch tag, so eight dentists could be attributed to the Midtbyen branch this card covers (three of them specialists in periodontics) without committing the error of reading a chain roster as a branch roster. Rating 4.9 re-confirmed independently and a live review count of 228 recorded; CBCT, implantology, surgery, emergency care, structured data and dedicated service pages added, with verified negatives on orthodontics, paediatrics and sedation. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial data collection: own website (English site, multi-branch contact page) and a live Google Maps place lookup for the Midtbyen (city-centre) branch. Ty tannklinikk operates several Trondheim locations (Midtbyen, Lademoen); this card covers the Midtbyen branch specifically, address and phone matched between the site and the live Maps listing. aiVisibility filled from the AI-visibility pass — strongest AI-visibility result of the four Trondheim cards researched (present in all four non-expats canonical queries). Reputation beyond rating and licensing left null for the reasons stated on every card in this file. |
