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
Aïn Benian dental center opened in 2015 by founder Dr Khelil Samad, with a roster of about 12 dentists. Offers implants, veneers, orthodontics, Invisalign/Smilers aligners and prosthetics. Site has a working English version and states it treats "patients from all over the world", with online quote requests.
Research constraints for this pass: the five canonical AI/search-visibility queries were run live in a browser in a follow-up pass on 2026-09-02, and aiVisibility.aiMention_* records what those live results showed for this clinic. Google Maps place pages are JavaScript-rendered and cannot be read by an automated fetch, so googleRating/googleReviewCount were read in a live browser in the same follow-up pass rather than from an automated fetch. A live Google Maps place URL was located via a goo.gl short link on the clinic’s own contact page (resolved through a redirect); Google lists the business as "Khelil's Dental Center (Invisalign Center)". The rating and review count come from that place page read live in the follow-up pass.
Strengths
- Information Transparency: 20 of 20 points.
- Medical Infrastructure: 15 of 15 points.
- AI & Search Visibility: 8 of 10 points.
- No red flags identified in public sources.
Weaknesses
- Price Transparency: 7 of 15 verifiable points (missing: cleaning price listed; filling price listed; consultation price listed; x-ray / imaging price listed)

Price Transparency
7 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✓ | Prices or price ranges published Corrected: the clinic publishes its own prices for eight treatments (implants, crowns, onlays, bridges, bone graft) in euros. [khelils-dental-center-deepen-3] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed Site read in all three languages; its only price table covers implants, crowns and bridges, not scaling. [s1] | 0/2 |

Reputation & Reviews
13.5 / 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) as of 2026-09-25 [khelils-dental-center-deepen-5] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-25 [khelils-dental-center-deepen-5] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest review rendered on the Maps place page on 2026-09-03 is dated "2 months 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★: 115/5/1/2/23, which sums to the 146 reviews in the place header. [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Three "Response from the owner" replies are published under the reviews visible on the Google Maps listing, read in a browser 2026-09-03. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints Corrected: two low reviews (2026-05-08, 2026-08-24) describe walk-ins in acute pain not seen promptly; 25 of 146 reviews are 1-2 stars. [khelils-dental-center-deepen-5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The histogram retains a large negative block - 23 one-star and 2 two-star reviews, 17% of the record - dates run from two months to three years with no burst, wording is individual, and the owner answers criticism (including the three-star) as well as praise. 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★: 115/5/1/2/23, which sums to the 146 reviews in the place header. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page "Khelil's Dental Center | ’Aïn Benian" confirmed live. [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence TripAdvisor's own search has no listing for this clinic, and neither its website nor its Google listing links to TripAdvisor. [khelils-dental-center-deepen-4] [khelils-dental-center-deepen-5] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Algeria Yellow Pages: verified business page "Khelil's Dental Center" in Aïn Benian, with the clinic's phone; no reviews there yet. [khelils-dental-center-presence] | 0.5/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
15 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.

| ✓ | Emergency care The clinic states on its Google listing that it sees emergency and walk-in patients during its 09:00-20:00 hours, after booked appointments. [khelils-dental-center-deepen-5] [khelils-dental-center-deepen-12] | 1.5/1.5 |

Communication & Service
6.5 / 10
