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.

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 https://www.zahnboutique.ch/en/ returned HTTP 200 with 4,788 characters of the practice’s own content (services, location, opening hours, contact) read on 2026-09-07 — body read, not only the status code. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The team page names Dr. med. dent. Madeleine Rainer and Dr. med. dent. Christina Kruse as the dentists, plus the dental hygienists and assistants, each with a photograph and a curriculum vitae. [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed The team page ties fields to the named dentists: Dr. Rainer’s one-year implantology course and her memberships of the Swiss Society of Endodontology, the European Society of Endodontology and the Swiss Society of Dentomaxillofacial Radiology; Dr. Kruse’s endodontics course and implantology hands-on training. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Fourteen self-hosted photographs on the practice’s own domain, each named after the person shown (madeleine_rainer, christina_kruse, romy_bernhard, esther_kessler and so on) and carrying that person’s name in the alt text. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The site’s own navigation carries a Services section with thirteen individual treatment pages: diagnostics, dental hygiene, periodontics, tooth preservation, root canal treatment, dental prostheses, dental surgery, implantology, veneers, Invisalign, bleaching, anxious patients and Aligné aligner treatment. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Street address, floor, e-mail address kreuzplatz@zahnboutique.ch, telephone 043 499 90 00, a WhatsApp number and the weekday opening hours are published on the home page and repeated on the contact page. [s1] [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version A complete English version at /en/ with its own hreflang="en" declaration; the pages read for this card were the English ones. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published The contact page publishes the street address with the floor and a written route description — Stadelhofen station on foot, Kreuzplatz stop with tram 8, tram 11, bus 31 and the Forch railway S18, and the named nearby car parks — but no embedded map. [s3] | 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 Checked the whole navigation of the clinic’s own site, including the "Important for patients" page which describes the first appointment and treatment planning: costs are discussed individually ("we can create a treatment plan for you and discuss the individual costs with you") and no figure, price list or range is published anywhere on the site. [s1] [s3] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s3] | 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) Re-read live on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08 and unchanged at 4.9. The star histogram's weighted mean, 4.920, reproduces the published figure. [gmp1] [gmpb] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Headline count read on the place page in a browser on 2026-09-08. The histogram sums to the same figure: 329 five-star, 0 four-star, 0 three-star, 1 two-star and 6 one-star = 336. [gmpb] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-28 (listing read 2026-09-29). [zahnboutique-zurich-gbp-2026-09-29] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": the owner has replied individually to all eight. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints Browser 2026-09-08, 8 visible reviews, sort "Most relevant": no review below five stars surfaced and no repeated theme is readable. One-star and two-star ratings together are 7 of 336, or 2.1 per cent of the base, well under the 25 per cent at which the criterion is withheld. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Browser 2026-09-08: histogram 329/0/0/1/6 with a mean of 4.920 against a published 4.9; the visible sample spans two years, mixes Local Guides with single-review accounts and carries individually written owner replies. No manipulation signature. [gmpb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic's own Facebook page (Forchstrasse 2, with the clinic's phone and website) is active: latest post 2026-08-04, 1 reviews (checked 2026-10-02). [zahnboutique-zurich-fb] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Zahnboutique Zurich" and "Zahnboutique Zahnarzt"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-05). [zahnboutique-zurich-tripadvisor] [zahnboutique-zurich-tripadvisor-2] | 0/0.5 |
| ✓ | Other review platforms Has a Trustpilot company page claimed by the clinic (3 reviews, TrustScore 4). [zahnboutique-zurich-platforms] | 0.5/0.5 |

| ✓ | On-site X-ray The patient-information page states the practice takes its own images with a digital X-ray machine. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Implantology is one of the thirteen treatment pages on the clinic’s own site, and "Dental implants periodontist" is one of the categories on its own Google Business Profile. [s1] [gmp1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics The site publishes separate Invisalign and Aligné aligner treatment pages. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Dental surgery is a treatment page on the clinic’s own site. [s1] | 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: BetReg, the federal facility and organisation register of the HealthReg portal (Swissmedic, Narcotics Control Ordinance): "Zahnboutique KIG", company GLN 7601002726955, Forchstrasse 2, 8008 Zürich, canton Zürich, narcotics authorisation 6026 (Verzeichnis a/b/c/f BetmVV-EDI), responsible professional Madeleine Rainer, GLN 7601000903693. Register queried live on 2026-09-07. (Switzerland publishes no register of dental clinics: there is no federal facility register for dental practices and no canton — Zurich included — publishes a list of holders of a cantonal Betriebsbewilligung (verified in our registry research for Switzerland). The only federal channel that names dental practices is BetReg, the facility and organisation module of the HealthReg portal, and it lists a practice only if the practice holds a narcotics authorisation under the Narcotics Control Ordinance. Presence in BetReg is therefore positive evidence; absence from it is not evidence of anything, which is why an unlisted practice is recorded as an honest null.) [reg2]
