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) — Not verified
Summary
Root Dental Center is a Farwaniya practice led by Dr. Mir Junaid Ali per directory reviews. Review commentary is mixed: several reviewers praise the clinical team's professionalism, but one specifically advises against seeking orthodontic/braces treatment there.
No street-level address was published beyond "Al Farwaniyah". The single negative orthodontics review is treated as one data point, not a verified recurring pattern, so it is not scored as a red flag.

Information Transparency
2 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website Corrected: the clinic domain serves no website (HTTP 404 on every path since 2026-09-03) [s8] | 0/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed Reversed per owner ruling 2026-09-03 (published = published by the clinic itself). "Dr. Mir Junaid Ali" appeared only in a third-party directory's generated summary; clinicroot.com published no team/roster page when it was last live, and as of 2026-09-03 the domain returns HTTP 404 (a Netlify placeholder), confirming no dentist roster is currently published by the clinic online. The name stays out of licensing.doctors. [s8] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed No dentist or qualification is published by the clinic: its domain serves no website and its Google listing names no dentist. [root-dental-center-deepen-10] [s8] | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Service list published No treatment list on the clinic's own channels: its domain serves no website and its Google listing lists none. [root-dental-center-deepen-10] [s8] | 0/3 |

Reputation & Reviews
11 / 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.

| ✓ | No recurring complaints One negative among the eight visible: a one-star three years old about orthodontics - "If you want to do braces don't go there believe me they're not good at this. They don't even do x-ray before starting treatment". Nothing repeats. Histogram 36/1/1/1/8 over 47; 7 further one-star reviews were not surfaced. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. A newest-first sort could not be applied, so the sample is in Google's relevance order. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram 36/1/1/1/8 over 47 - sums exactly to the header count, and 197/47 = 4.19 reproduces the published 4.2. The 8-strong one-star block stands unremoved (17%), the eight visible reviews span 2 to 10 years with no burst, wording is individual, and accounts hold 1 to 141 reviews. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. A newest-first sort could not be applied, so the sample is in Google's relevance order. [s2] | 2/2 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the Hospital Examiner page cited before is a directory entry with no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, HeliumDoc or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Google listing: no treatment list, no dentist qualification and no English website version are published, as the clinic has no working website; its contacts and its address, given only as the district, now rest on the listing. |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: clinicroot.com still returns HTTP 404 from a Netlify placeholder (re-confirmed after the 2026-09-03 finding); the Google listing was re-read. Recorded: no published prices anywhere reachable, no TripAdvisor listing, and Google Business Profile hours that count as convenient (close at 10 PM on weekdays). Google rating 4.2 from 48 reviews, newest 2026-09-09. Corrected: the clinic's domain has served no website since at least 2026-09-03, so it is recorded as having no working website. Everything depending on the clinic’s own site content remains unverified because the site is not live. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns were assessed for the first time (all four were null). Rating and review count re-read and reconciled against the star histogram. |
| 2026-09-03 | Kuwait top-up 2026-09-03: applied owner ruling on "published by the clinic itself" -- dentistNamesListed reversed to false (directory-only name; the clinic's own site never published a roster and is now offline, HTTP 404). pricesPublished left null: the site is unreachable, so there is no own channel to check today. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live re-verification 2026-09-02: Google rating/review count and geo coordinates recorded from a live Maps place URL; aiVisibility.* recorded from 5 canonical Google search queries for Farwaniya. |
