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.

Information Transparency
16 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Own site (English version fetched) live 2026-09-07. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Site names Dr Hervé Touati and Dr Romane Touati Chebance. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos Not established. The owner's lead image is a clinical close-up of a masked clinician wearing loupes — genuine material, but it shows no premises, signage or identifying feature of this practice, and a clinical close-up is not premises. Left null rather than false: the clinic's own site was not opened for this purpose in this pass. | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Site describes smile-aesthetics and periodontology services and states the practice brings together 3 dental surgeons. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details [s1] [gmp3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version Full English site at /en/: 'Dentist in Lyon, expert in smile aesthetics'. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published [s1] [gmp3] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
9 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Own site publishes a standing price list for its most common treatments (eleven items with figures or ranges). [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed The published list has no scaling/cleaning price; scaling is only mentioned as reimbursed at 70% by the Assurance Maladie. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed The published list has no filling price. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Crown price listed Porcelain crown 950€; temporary crown from €195 to €275. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Implant price listed Implant 990€, implant abutment 455€, crown on implant 950€. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed The published list prices an 'aesthetic assessment' (385€) but no ordinary initial consultation; the check-up is described only as covered by Social Security, without a figure. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | X-ray / imaging price listed Dental Panoramic 20€. [s2] | 2/2 |
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) Read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. Unchanged from the headless reading of 2026-09-07. The star histogram — 217 five-star, 2 four-star, 0 three-star, 0 two-star and 8 one-star — sums to 227, matching the 227 in the place-page header exactly, and its weighted mean 4.850 reproduces the published 4.9. [gmp3] [gmpb] | 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 227 from 2026-09-07 and the listing has not moved since. [gmp3b] [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency The newest review visible is two months old, which proves the within_3_months bucket and no better. Visible dates: 2 months, 2 months (edited), 9 and 11 months, then 1, 1, 2 and 2 years. 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. [gmpb] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner answers 7 of 8 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. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No criticism appears in the visible sample; the one- and two-star mass is 8 of 227 ratings, 3.5 %. 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. [gmpb] | 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. 217 five-star with a small genuine tail of eight one-star and two four-star ratings; reviews run from two months to two years in two languages, and the owner answers seven of the eight visible. [gmpb] | 2/2 |

| ? | WhatsApp / LINE available | 0/2 |

| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ? | Clear service explanations | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours Full published week read on the place page 2026-09-08: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 08:00-18:00, Wednesday 09:00-18:00, weekend closed. No evening and no weekend surgery. [gmpb] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
5 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist France", "English speaking dentist France", "dental implants France", "emergency dentist France", "France dental clinic for expats".

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-08 | Browser pass (phase I): 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 (217/2/0/0/8 = 227, weighted mean 4.850), review recency, the owner-reply state, the complaint reading and the manipulation reading from the eight most-relevant reviews, the lead owner photograph and the full published opening week. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. |
| 2026-09-07 | Adversarial verification pass (D-france). Google place re-read live by phone query: rating 4.9 confirmed and the review count (227) recovered, which the research pass had reported as not exposed. The clinic's own team page and price list were read for the first time: a third dentist (Dr Thibault Nicollet) is published by the clinic and matched in ONCD at the exact address, Dr Romane Touati Chebance's RPPS was matched, and seven price fields were resolved from the clinic's published tariff. |
| 2026-09-07 | Initial research pass. Surfaced directly by the wave-5 AV pass (appears in both 'best dentist Lyon France' and 'dental implants Lyon France'). Own English-language site read live. The plain-name Google Maps headless query returned only a city-centroid fallback (no POI); retried successfully with the site's own phone number, which resolved the exact business (rating 4.9, address). ONCD confirmed Dr Touati's RPPS at the exact address. |
