Reputation & Reviews
17.5 / 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) Star histogram read live on 2026-09-05: 90 five-star, 1 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star, 0 one-star. The buckets sum to 92, matching the 92 in the place-page header exactly, and the weighted mean 4.957 reproduces the published 5. [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-05 from the place-page header; the star histogram sums to the same figure. [gmp1] | 1.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is 2 months old, which proves the within-3-months bucket and no better. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replied to all 3 visible reviews; two replies posted 3 weeks ago to reviews 3 and 4 years old (a catch-up pass). Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No repeated complaint theme appears in the visible sample. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram shape, spread of wording and dates, and reviewer-account variety show no sign of manipulation. Sample: the 3 reviews Google Maps renders on the place page, in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Page 'Bellevue Dental Clinic', 1.1K followers, 3 reviews, address 169 Adetokunbo Ademola Crescent, Wuse II, Abuja matches the card, links bellevuedental.care. [fbp1] | 1/1 |

Medical Infrastructure
11 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Digital diagnostic tools and X-ray technology described. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Services page lists Dental Implants as a treatment and states "Dr. Marie and her team of Oral Surgeons and Periodontists are committed to providing you with the highest quality of implants and crowns". The 15%-off implant banner beside it is a promotion, not a price, and is not counted for price transparency. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
