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) — Not verified

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
18 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic's own website names no dentist. The name Dr. Dwayne Usher appears only in the title of the Google Business listing, which the practice manages itself. [gm] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed No qualification or specialty is attached to any dentist on the clinic's website or its Google Business listing. [s1] [gm] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Read in a browser on 2026-09-10: the site publishes named photographs of the practice's own treatment room, of its branded "The Innova Experience" wall and of the clinic exterior in West Landivar. The smile images the site itself labels illustrative are separate from these and are labelled as such. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Eight treatment categories covering 33 named procedures, each with a patient-facing description. [s1] [s2] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail and WhatsApp are published on the practice’s site and its Facebook page. The two numbers that looked like a contradiction are two lines of the same practice: its own site, re-read on 2026-09-11, prints them side by side as “Telephone +501 223-0035” and “WhatsApp +501 610-9017”, and the Google listing it manages carries the mobile of the two. Both are recorded on this card, the landline as the phone number and the mobile as the WhatsApp number. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address published site-wide with a Get Directions link; matches the Google place record. [s1] [gm] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published The 33-treatment services guide carries descriptions only — no figures or ranges. [s2] | 0/3 |
| ? | Cleaning price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Filling price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Crown price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Implant price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | Consultation price listed | 0/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |
Reputation & Reviews
7 / 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) Google Maps place record read live 2026-09-10. Rating histogram 0 to 5 stars: 0/0/1/0/3 over 4 reviews, implied mean exactly the published 4.5. The listing is managed by the practice. [gm] | 3/6 |
| ✗ | Google review volume [gm] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Read in a browser on 2026-09-10: all four reviews render in the panel. The newest is a five-star rating one month old and the next a three-star rating three months old; the other two are nine months and about a year old. The one- and three-month ages the verification pass could not attach to a review are these two. [gm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 3 reviews from the last 24 months were read on the Google listing, none with an owner reply, too few to say the clinic does not answer reviews (read 2026-10-02). | 0/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints Only 4 Google reviews exist, too few to show whether a complaint recurs (read 2026-10-02). | 0/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns The listing carries only 4 Google reviews (2024-09-18 to 2026-08-07), fewer than the ten needed to judge a pattern, so the criterion is left unassessed (read 2026-10-02). | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence The clinic runs a Facebook page, "Innova Dental Care Bz | Belize City". [fb] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile of its own on a review platform: American Health Tourism has only an unclaimed directory entry with no reviews; WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in Belize. [innova-dental-care-belize-city-deepen] [innova-dental-care-belize-city-g6] [innova-dental-care-belize-city-g6-2] [innova-dental-care-belize-city-g6-3] | 0/0.5 |
Medical Infrastructure
11 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ✓ | On-site X-ray Digital X-ray listed under Consultation & Diagnostics. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dental implant listed under Dentures & Tooth Replacement. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics Conventional and self-ligating braces, clear aligners, retainers and orthodontic records. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Tooth extraction, surgical extraction and dry-socket treatment. [s2] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Site states care for adults, children and families; sealants and mouthguards listed. [s1] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care Oral Surgery & Emergency Care category, and Emergency Dental Care in the footer service list. [s1] [s2] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ? | Works with international patients | 0/2 |
Communication & Service
5.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✓ | WhatsApp / LINE available WhatsApp +501 610-9017 with a structured request form on the homepage. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | English spoken [s1] | 2.5/2.5 |
| ? | Pre-visit consultation possible | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Each of the 33 treatments carries a patient-friendly description. [s2] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Convenient opening hours The practice’s own site, re-read on 2026-09-11, publishes Monday to Friday 09:00–12:00 and 13:00–18:00 with Saturday and Sunday closed; the Google listing it manages publishes Monday to Friday 08:00–18:00, also with both weekend days closed. Neither week has an evening or a weekend surgery, so the criterion is not met on either of the practice’s own channels; the hour they disagree on at the start of the day does not change that. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
4 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Belize", "English speaking dentist Belize", "dental implants Belize", "emergency dentist Belize", "Belize dental clinic for expats".
| ✓ | Mentioned for: best dentist Belize The clinic's Facebook page appears in the top 10 for the city prominence query. [avq] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: English speaking dentist Belize [avq] | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: dental implants Belize The clinic's Instagram account appears in the top 10 for the implants query. [avq] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Mentioned for: emergency dentist Belize Own site appears in the top 10 for the emergency query. [avq] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | Mentioned for: Belize dental clinic for expats [avq] | 0/1 |
| ✗ | Structured data on website No schema.org JSON-LD or microdata anywhere in the page source. [s1] | 0/1.5 |
| ◐ | Google indexing quality The clinic's own site is not among the 10 results of a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05, although a search limited to its domain shows its pages are indexed. [innova-dental-care-belize-city-av4] [innova-dental-care-belize-city-av4-2] | 1/2 |
| ✗ | Dedicated service pages All 33 treatments live on one services page; there are no per-treatment URLs. [s1] [s2] | 0/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (own site not listed, though indexed). |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (4 reviews read): nothing settled; recurring complaints, owner replies to reviews, suspicious review patterns left unassessed. |
| 2026-10-02 | Other review platforms corrected to none: the American Health Tourism entry is an unclaimed directory page with no reviews, and WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in Belize (checked 2026-10-02). |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: facility page on American Health Tourism (same address, no reviews yet); the directory listing cited before is not a review platform. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints and no suspicious review patterns now unverified: 4 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 4 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-11 | The two telephone numbers on the practice’s own channels resolved: they are a landline and a WhatsApp mobile, published side by side on its own site, not a contradiction between channels. Opening hours re-read on both of its channels. |
| 2026-09-10 | Reputation reread: every place record reopened with its reviews panel, showing the eight most relevant reviews with their dates, the reviewers' histories, and any owner replies. Owner-reply status settled on all sixteen cards, and review recency and complaint patterns settled where the panel allowed it. Clinic channels that had not opened before — Facebook pages, clinic websites and OpenStreetMap listings — were read for the first time. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: every card re-read against its live Google place record with the two-step /maps/preview/place method, which returns the rating histogram and the review snippets the compact endpoint omits. Recovered the review blocks the initial data collection could not reach on two cards, added review recency and complaint / manipulation assessments where snippets could be read, corrected criteria sourced to listings the clinic does not control, and removed cited pages that were never actually readable. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection for the Belize Dental Transparency & Trust Index: read from the clinic's own channels where it has any, its live Google Maps place record, and independent directory or press listings. Belize publishes no dental register, so all licence fields are recorded as unverified. |
