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
Dentosense Dental Clinic is a private dental clinic on the 1st floor of TSS Tower on Nkrumah Road, Mombasa, established 10 March 2005, describing itself as focused on affordable dental health services.
The clinic's website is live and was read in full on 2026-09-02 at https://www.dentosense.com/ — the bare apex host (dentosense.com) times out, which is why an earlier check recorded the site as unreachable. Address on the site (1st floor TSS Tower, Nkrumah Road, Mombasa) matches this card exactly; the site's own contact number is 0721393939, which matches the Google Maps listing; the older directory number, +254 41 2226167, appears on neither. Transparency caveat worth recording: large parts of the site are unfinished template placeholder — the homepage service teasers, the 'CLIENT TESTIMONIALS' block and the 'PRAISE FOR DR. JEZZAN' block are Lorem ipsum text under invented Anglo names (Paul Lee, Ann Clark, Emily Johnson, John Cooper, Steve Clarke), so no weight was given to any of it. The dentist page, facilities page and service navigation are genuine and were used instead.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website Site is live and fully readable at https://www.dentosense.com/ (77 KB, WordPress, structured data dateModified 2026-03-31). The bare apex host dentosense.com times out, which is what the earlier check hit; the www host serves the whole site. [site] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr. Salaah A. O Jezzan named on the clinic's own team section and on a dedicated dentist page. [site] [site-doc] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Dentist page publishes B.D.S. plus postgraduate diplomas in Community Dentistry (Pretoria), Implantology and Orthodontics (Western Cape), and a stated focus on cosmetic dentistry. [site-doc] | 2/2 |
| ? | Real clinic photos | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Five service areas with their own menu entries: general, cosmetic, pediatric, restorative and orthodontic dentistry. [site] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Two phones, e-mail and a form on the clinic's contact page; its Google listing gives the same 0721 393 939. [dentosense-dental-clinic-mombasa-deepen-2] [dentosense-dental-clinic-mombasa-deepen-3] [dir1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version Site is English-only. [site] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published 1st floor, TSS Tower, Nkrumah Road, on the clinic's contact page, with a map pin on its Google listing. [dentosense-dental-clinic-mombasa-deepen-2] [dentosense-dental-clinic-mombasa-deepen-3] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published No prices anywhere on the site and no pricing page in its navigation (home, about, doctor, facilities, five service pages, insurance, appointments, first visit, FAQ, post-op, terms, case studies and contact all checked 2026-09-02). [site] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [site] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [site] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [site] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [site] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [site] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [site] | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
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) [gmaps1] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume [gmaps1] | 0.5/3 |
| ◐ | Review recency Newest review rendered on the Maps place page on 2026-09-03 is dated "a year ago"; the bucket recorded is never better than the page proves. Sample: the 8 reviews Google Maps rendered on the place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03, read in a browser, in Google's relevance order — Maps' "Sort reviews" control would not open (clicked by element reference and by a dispatched in-page click(); the menu never opened), so no newest-first ordering was available. Published star histogram 5★→1★: 11/2/0/0/2, which sums to the 15 reviews in the place header. [gmaps1] | 1.5/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews No owner reply appears on any of the 8 visible reviews. Absence from a relevance-ordered preview is weaker evidence than a positive finding, so this records what the page shows rather than proving the clinic never replies. Sample: the 8 reviews Google Maps rendered on the place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03, read in a browser, in Google's relevance order — Maps' "Sort reviews" control would not open (clicked by element reference and by a dispatched in-page click(); the menu never opened), so no newest-first ordering was available. Published star histogram 5★→1★: 11/2/0/0/2, which sums to the 15 reviews in the place header. [gmaps1] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Only one of the eight visible reviews is negative - a one-star reading, in full, "Very arrogant Staff". No concrete issue is raised twice. Sample: the 8 reviews Google Maps rendered on the place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03, read in a browser, in Google's relevance order — Maps' "Sort reviews" control would not open (clicked by element reference and by a dispatched in-page click(); the menu never opened), so no newest-first ordering was available. Published star histogram 5★→1★: 11/2/0/0/2, which sums to the 15 reviews in the place header. [gmaps1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The histogram retains two four-star and two one-star reviews, wording is individual, dates run from one to eight years with no burst, and four of eight reviewers are Local Guides holding 29-93 reviews. Sample: the 8 reviews Google Maps rendered on the place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03, read in a browser, in Google's relevance order — Maps' "Sort reviews" control would not open (clicked by element reference and by a dispatched in-page click(); the menu never opened), so no newest-first ordering was available. Published star histogram 5★→1★: 11/2/0/0/2, which sums to the 15 reviews in the place header. [gmaps1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page facebook.com/Dentosense linked from the clinic's own site footer, alongside Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter. [site] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dentosense Dental Clinic Mombasa" and "Dentosense"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05).

Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Facilities page describes an in-house digital X-ray system (CMOS sensor). [site-fac] | 2/2 |

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 00***7 (KMPDC – Register of Licensed Private Health Facilities) (KMPDC Register of Licensed Private Health Facilities, re-parsed in full 2026-09-02: 'DENTOSENSE DENTAL CLINIC' | 00***7 | Dental Clinic | Level 2 | County MOMBASA | postal 16654 80100 MOMBASA | ACTIVE. The earlier 'not found' verdict on this card was an artefact of a truncated read of the register (only the first ~1,000 of 7,170 rows were visible); this row is at a later index.)
