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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Godt Smil's chain price page states that most treatments can be carried out either under full narcosis (fuld narkose) or under sedation at many of the chain's clinics; the statement is chain-level and does not name this branch. [s3]

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 Revised from false on 2026-09-08 after the page was driven in a real browser rather than judged from its static HTML. The earlier reading was right about the mechanism and wrong about the outcome: the chain's «Priser» section is indeed a calculator that shows nothing until a clinic is chosen, but choosing one does not produce an estimate — it renders a full, itemised, per-branch fee table with a price before and after subsidy for every service, and the chosen branch is addressable directly at its own URL. For this branch the table is headed «Priser for Aalborg» and covers examinations, radiography, scaling, fillings, build-ups, root treatment, surgery, crowns and bridges, implants, dentures, splints, orthodontics, periodontal treatment and sedation. That is a published price list by any reading of the criterion. [s3] [gsp] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table: scaling A, at least fifteen teeth, 242 kr. before subsidy and 137 kr. after; scaling B, at most fourteen teeth, 174 kr. / 97 kr.; the same two without subsidy entitlement 352 kr. / 177 kr. and 253 kr. / 176 kr. The table notes that the subsidy applies only alongside a status examination once every twelve months, and that the figures follow the collective agreement of December 2025. [gsp] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Filling price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table, priced by tooth and number of surfaces: composite fillings 895 kr. (small molar, one surface), 1,195 kr. (two surfaces), 1,395 kr. (three surfaces), 1,095 kr. (large molar, one surface), 1,395 kr. (two surfaces) and 1,595 kr. (three surfaces) before subsidy; 575 kr. to 1,275 kr. after. [gsp] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table: a porcelain crown from 4,495 kr. before subsidy and 4,175 kr. after — the lowest of the three Godt Smil branches in this catalogue; a porcelain veneer from the same figures; a three-unit porcelain bridge from 13,495 kr., for which no subsidy is shown. The table states that these prices exclude radiography and anaesthesia. [gsp] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table: an implant including its crown 14,995 kr. before subsidy and 12,935 kr. after; bone augmentation from 3,495 kr. / 2,695 kr. The table states that these prices exclude radiography and anaesthesia and that the subsidy covers only one implant operation a year. [gsp] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table: «Konsultation» 395 kr. before subsidy and 325 kr. after; «Diagnostisk grundundersøgelse fra 26 år» 194 kr. / 124 kr.; the same examination for an 18–25-year-old 113 kr. / 0 kr.; «Udvidet diagnostisk grundundersøgelse» 401 kr. / 280 kr.; a diagnostic consultation from 239 kr. / 169 kr. [gsp] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Read live on 2026-09-08 from the branch's own fee table: two bitewings 247 kr. before subsidy and 167 kr. after; a panoramic 2D scan 895 kr. / 620 kr.; a 3D scan 1,795 kr. / 1,520 kr. per side — the highest 3D figure of the three Godt Smil branches in this catalogue. [gsp] | 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) Read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the automated reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 521 five-star, 23 four-star, 6 three-star, 2 two-star and 15 one-star — sums to 567, matching the 567 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.822 reproduces the published 4.8. [gm1] [gmp1] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume Read live on 2026-09-08 from the place-page header, and the star histogram sums to the same figure. The card held 567 and the listing has not moved since. [gm1] [gmp1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-22 (listing read 2026-09-25). [godt-smil-tandlaegerne-aalborg-aalborg-gbp-2026-09-25] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers all eight of the reviews visible on the place page on 2026-09-08. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Two critical accounts are readable and they are on different subjects, so no theme repeats. A one-star ten months old says two dentists would not let the patient explain her problem, told her the trouble was her own fault and «were making up unnecessary treatments»; the owner has answered it and edited the answer since. A two-star three years old describes a filling in 2020 after which the reviewer had intense pain for three months and could not chew on that side, and adds «I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1, because at least it was cheap». A third reviewer, at five stars, calls the practice «a bit pricey but totally worth it». One- and two-star ratings together are 17 of 567, 3.0 % of the base, well below the 25 % at which the methodology's rule withholds a verdict. Sample: the eight reviews Google Maps renders on the place page in its own relevance order — the "Newest" sort does not open to automation, so a review more recent than the newest one visible may exist. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Judged on the histogram shape, the spread of dates, the variety of reviewers and the wording, on 2026-09-08. The distribution 521/23/6/2/15 has a populated tail in every bucket under a published 4.8 — the ordinary shape of a large city practice, not a wall. The visible dates spread from four months to five years without clustering, the accounts run from three words to several paragraphs in three languages, they name individual clinicians (Leonidas among them), and the owner answers all eight individually including both critical ones. Nothing suggests solicited or purchased review activity. [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The branch has no page of its own. Its Facebook presence is the chain page Godt Smil Tandlaegerne (38,000 followers, comments answered by the page, review block switched off), read 2026-09-10. [godt-smil-tandlaegerne-aalborg-aalborg-deepen] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Godt Smil Tandlægerne Aalborg" and "Godt Smil"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [godt-smil-tandlaegerne-aalborg-aalborg-tripadvisor] [godt-smil-tandlaegerne-aalborg-aalborg-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ? | Other review platforms Godt Smil Tandlaegerne's chain-wide Trustpilot page, linked from the branch page, does not name this branch, so its reviews cannot be tied to it (checked 2026-10-02). [tp1] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
13 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available No WhatsApp/LINE contact channel found on the clinic's own site; phone and web contact form only. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s2] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ✓ | Pre-visit consultation possible [s3] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations [s1] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |

The Reviews tab (this URL) gives the headline rating, the review-count header, the five star-histogram buckets read whole from their accessibility labels, and the eight most-relevant reviews with their star values, dates, text and owner replies; the sibling Overview URL https://www.google.com/maps/place/x/@57.0509985,9.9190195,17z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4649328b87f8be8d:0x5509be386bfbaa06!8m2!3d57.0509985!4d9.9190195?hl=en gives the listing name, address, telephone, website, business category, the published opening week and the lead owner photograph. The listing opens as «Godt Smil Tandlægerne Aalborg», category Dentist, at Ved Stranden 22, 3. sal, 9000 Aalborg, telephone +45 70 86 82 47, website godtsmil.dk — the identifiers the card itself carries, so the place identifier resolves to this practice and not to a neighbour. | 2026-09-08 |
| gsp | https://www.godtsmil.dk/tandlaegepriser/?clinic_id=559 | The chain's own price page, opened in a real browser on 2026-09-08 and driven through its clinic chooser. Choosing a clinic rewrites the address to a per-branch URL (this one resolves to a page headed «Priser for Aalborg») and renders a complete itemised fee table for that branch, in twelve collapsible sections — examinations and radiography, scaling, composite fillings, core build-ups, root treatment, surgery, crowns and bridges, implants, dentures, splints, orthodontics, periodontal treatment, anaesthesia and sedation — each row giving a price before and after the Danish health-insurance subsidy for the selected «danmark» group. The figures below are the Aalborg branch's own, read from that table, and they are the lowest of the three Godt Smil branches in this catalogue. | 2026-09-08 |

The visible post (22 October 2025, on dental anxiety) carries 51 reactions and a comment thread the page answers under its own name. No recommendation percentage or review count is shown, so the value rests on activity, not reviews.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Other review platforms changed to not established: the chain-wide Godt Smil Tandlaegerne Trustpilot page does not name this branch (decision of 2026-10-02 on network pages). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-10 | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the chain Facebook page the branch links was opened logged in; it is active and answered, so onFacebook moves from null to true. The published note says the page is the chain's, not this branch's, and that its review block is off, so the true rests on activity alone. |
| 2026-09-09 | Sedation criterion re-checked against methodology 1.4.0 (general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation, patient asleep and unaware). The value stands, and the note now carries the evidence it rests on. Godt Smil's chain price page states that most treatments can be carried out either under full narcosis (fuld narkose) or under sedation at many of the chain's clinics; the statement is chain-level and does not name this branch. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser, on the price question: the chain's price page was driven through its clinic chooser in a real browser, which the automated pass could not do. Choosing a clinic renders a complete itemised per-branch fee table rather than an estimate, so pricesPublished is revised from false to true and the consultation, radiography, scaling, filling, crown and implant prices are recorded from this branch's own table. |
| 2026-09-08 | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. Recorded from it: the rating re-verified against the star histogram, the review count, the histogram itself (521/23/6/2/15 = 567, weighted mean 4.822), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the eight most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification: Google rating 4.8 reproduced live and review count 567 recovered - the largest review base in the country cohort; chain Trustpilot profile recorded; 60 dedicated treatment pages confirmed. The price-calculator finding (pricesPublished false) was re-checked and stands. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial research pass: Behandlingsstedsregisteret licence match, live automated Google Maps rating/geo, English page and price-calculator behaviour confirmed, strong AI-visibility pass domain visibility across three of four Aalborg canonical queries; no individual dentists named. |
