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
General and cosmetic dental practice in Tripoli run by Dr. Wadih Hosni, offering orthodontics, invisible braces, pediatric dentistry and root canal treatment. Public presence is social-media-led (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube) rather than a standalone website.
No independent website was found; the clinic’s public presence is its Facebook page (facebook.com/Dr.Wadih.Hosni), corroborated by a 5index.com Lebanese business-directory entry. The Facebook page could not be fetched in full without a browser, but its title ("Hosni Dental Center | Tripoli") and its own description ("General and cosmetic dentistry Orthodontics Invisible braces Pediatric…") were both re-confirmed on 2026-09-02. The "100% recommend / 13 Reviews" figure and the phone number recorded during research came from a third-party search-index snapshot of that page which no longer reproduces, so neither is scored: the review figure is not used and clearContacts is left unverified. The phone number is retained as a contact detail with that provenance disclosed.

Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
12 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✗ | Has a working website No standalone clinic website found; the clinic’s public presence is its Facebook page. [s3] | 0/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed Dr. Wadih Hosni — named in the 5index.com business-directory entry ("Hosni Dental Center Dr Wadih Hosni"), in the Facebook page handle, and in the Google Maps listing name. [s2] [s3] [sm] | 3/3 |
| ? | Dentist specializations listed | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos [hosni-dental-center-deepen-4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The Facebook page’s own description lists "General and cosmetic dentistry Orthodontics Invisible braces Pediatric…" (re-confirmed 2026-09-02). [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Restored 2026-09-03. The 2026-09-02 pass refuted this because the phone number survived only in a vanished search-index snapshot. Opened in a browser today, the clinic’s own Facebook page renders its contact block directly: "Contact information / +961 3 082 299" (the label shown in Russian), the same number this card publishes, alongside the address. The Google Maps listing carries the identical number. [s3] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The clinic has no website; its Google listing links its Facebook page. [hosni-dental-center-deepen-5] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Settled 2026-09-03 in a browser: the clinic’s own Facebook page publishes "200 str., Tripoli, Lebanon" in its contact block, and the Google Maps listing resolves the same location in full as "200 (Mitein Roundabout), near Audi Bank Harba Building, 1st floor, Tripoli". [s3] [sm] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency

Reputation & Reviews
10 / 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 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 5.0 stars, unchanged since 2026-09-02. Star histogram on the same page: 5 five-star reviews and none below. [sm] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume As of 2026-09-03, live Google Maps listing (browser): 5 reviews, unchanged since 2026-09-02. [sm] | 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 5 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★: 5/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 5 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 1.5/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The Google listing is unclaimed (it carries a "Claim this business" prompt), so no owner can reply to reviews; none of the 5 reviews read has a reply. [hosni-dental-center-deepen-8] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints All five reviews on the listing are visible and none is negative; no concrete issue recurs. Sample: the 5 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★: 5/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 5 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns All five reviews on the listing are visible. Against a manipulation reading: the dates are spread across six years (1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 years ago) with no burst at all, wording is individual, and three of the five accounts carry real histories (13, 12 and 28 reviews, two of them Local Guides). Published as a caveat rather than a clean bill: the 5.0 rests on five reviews with nothing below five stars. Sample: the 5 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★: 5/0/0/0/0, which sums to the 5 reviews in the place header. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page opened in a browser on 2026-09-03: title "Hosni Dental Center", 2.4 thousand followers, a recommendation score of 100% from 12 reviews, a contact block with address and phone, and a post dated 27 May — identifiable and active. The "100% recommend / 13 reviews" figure the card previously carried came from a third-party snapshot; the live page shows 12 reviews. [s3] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No listing found; no clinic site to check for a link [hosni-dental-center-deepen-2] [hosni-dental-center-deepen] | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms Not listed in WhatClinic's Lebanon directory [hosni-dental-center-deepen-3] [hosni-dental-center-deepen] | 0/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's Facebook page in full for the past year and its Instagram on 2026-10-01: no prices are published. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 5 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet; the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website (its listed website field is a Facebook page). Recorded a genuine treatment-room photo, Saturday opening hours, and confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. The listing is unclaimed, so its service categories cannot be counted as the clinic's own documentation; specialisations, equipment, languages and online booking remain unverified. |
| 2026-09-03 | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (5 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 5/0/0/0/0); reviewRecency=within_year, responds=false, complaints=false, suspicious=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Browser spot-check: the Facebook page was opened in a browser and renders its full contact block, which restores clearContacts (null -> true, the phone +961 3 082 299 is published by the clinic itself) and settles addressAndMap (false -> true); the onFacebook note corrected from the snapshot figure to the live one; Google rating re-read live (5.0 / 5, unchanged). |
| 2026-09-02 | Adversarial verification: the Brave search-results citation was retired (it no longer reproduces); the service and dentist claims were re-sourced to the Facebook page after re-confirming its own description, and clearContacts was refuted for want of any phone visible in a source open today. |
| 2026-09-02 | Adversarial verification: onFacebook re-sourced from a search-results page to the Facebook page itself, opened and title-confirmed. |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps rating/review-count/geo re-verification and 5-canonical-query aiVisibility pass. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Lebanon Dental Transparency & Trust Index (Tripoli): verified via a search-index snapshot of the clinic's Facebook page and a 5index.com directory cross-check. |
