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
Summary
The one dental practice among the four covered here in Adama that runs a full website of its own, on the second floor of Soreti City Mall by Derartu Square. It publishes a service catalogue, an appointment route and a named dentist, states that it offers emergency as well as elective care and a student discount, and is rated 4.9 from 29 Google reviews - the largest review base of any Adama clinic in this directory, though three smaller listings in the city each show a 5.0 average from between one and five reviews. Readers should treat parts of the site with care: its price guide, testimonials and secondary location block are unedited demo content from the website theme, including two United States addresses and repeated placeholder rows, and none of that describes the Adama clinic.

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 Body read: live WordPress site with genuine clinic-specific content on the home, services, about, doctors and contact pages. [s1] | 4/4 |
| ✗ | Dentist names listed The Our Doctors page names one dentist, "Dr. Ebrahim", by first name only; no fuller name is published. [s2] [dr-ebrahim-dental-clinic-adama-names-2026-10-16] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Dentist specializations listed The three cards are captioned "Dental Surgeon", "Preventive Dentistry" and "Orthodontic Solutions", but they are attached to one and the same name with no qualification, degree or registration behind any of them, so no specialisation is actually attributed to a person. [s2] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Three of the four items in the listing photo strip were uploaded by the clinic itself. One is its own surgery - dental chair, operating light, monitor and a drawn curtain in a blue-painted room (2023-10-21); another is an intraoral photograph of a patient's own bridge work. The premises photograph is genuine and is not stock imagery, which matters on a card whose website carries unedited theme demo content elsewhere. [gm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published Services published on the clinic's own site and echoed by its Google Business categories (dental implants provider, emergency dental service, paediatric dentist, teeth-whitening service). [s1] [s4] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details Phone, e-mail and the Soreti Mall address are published site-wide and match the clinic's Google listing exactly; the website, re-read 2026-09-11, publishes one telephone number and the address admin@drebrahimdental.com. The clinic's own Facebook bio, read the same day, repeats that telephone number and adds two contacts the website does not carry: a second line, 0977 76 07 40, and a second e-mail address on a free mail host. The number and e-mail on this card are the pair the clinic's own website and its Google listing agree on. The Contact page additionally carries an "All Locations" block left unedited from the site theme, listing two Minnesota street addresses under the headings "Adama" and "Addis Ababa"; those are template residue, not clinic addresses. [s3] [s5] [fb] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published "Adama, Oromia Region - Soreti Mall 2nd Floor - Ethiopia" published in the footer of every page and on the Contact page. [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 The site has a page headed "Price Guide", but it is unedited theme demo content and not this clinic's prices: the same four rows ("Hygiene Treatment (Guided Biofilm Therapy) - first visit", "- regular visit", "for children", "Periodontal Care with hygienist") are repeated verbatim under Root Canal Therapy, Tooth Extractions, Dental Sealants and Cosmetic Treatments, and every figure is in US dollars in a clinic that bills in birr. No usable price or range for any treatment is published. [s5] | 0/3 |
| ✗ | Cleaning price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Consultation price listed [s5] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | X-ray / imaging price listed [s5] | 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) Read from the live Google place record on 2026-09-10. [gm] | 4/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Re-read on 2026-09-10 from the place-detail record, which states "29 reviews" alongside the 4.9 average. An earlier read the same day returned the average without the count. [gm] | 1/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-08-29 (listing read 2026-09-26). [dr-ebrahim-dental-clinic-adama-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Every review the endpoint rendered on 2026-09-11 carries a dated reply from the practice, the oldest from 2023 and the newest from 2025-11-03, one day after the review it answers. The replies are short ("Thank you very much sir!"), and no critical review exists in the base for them to be tested against - the histogram shows none below three stars. [gm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The star histogram read 2026-09-11 is 0/0/1/0/28: in the whole base of 29 reviews not one sits below three stars, so there is no critical review for a pattern to be built from. [gm] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns 8 of the 9 five-star reviews read come from accounts with a single review or none shown, but no burst reaches the threshold against 32 reviews on the listing, so the criterion is left unassessed (read 2026-10-05). | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Page read in a logged-in browser session on 2026-09-11 and active that same day: 3,100 followers and an Ethiopian New Year post. Its bio gives the Soreti Mall address in Oromo and Amharic, two telephone numbers and an e-mail address - all of them consistent with the clinic's own site, unlike the theme demo content the site carries elsewhere. [fb] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Dr Ebrahim Dental Clinic Adama" and "Ebrahim"; the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor (checked 2026-10-02). [dr-ebrahim-dental-clinic-adama-deepen] [dr-ebrahim-dental-clinic-adama-deepen-2] [dr-ebrahim-dental-clinic-adama-deepen-3] | 0/0.5 |

Medical Infrastructure
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
| ? | On-site X-ray | 0/2 |
| ? | CBCT (3D imaging) | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Implantology Dental implants named in the clinic's own About copy and among its Google Business categories. [s4] [gm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Orthodontics The clinic's own About copy: "we offer a comprehensive range of dental services to meet your needs, from routine cleanings and exams to advanced treatments like dental implants and orthodontics." This is a first-party statement, but it is the site's only orthodontic claim - unlike implants, paediatric and emergency care, orthodontics is not among the clinic's Google Business categories. [s4] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Oral surgery Wisdom-tooth extraction published among the clinic's services. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Pediatric dentistry Paediatric dentistry published as a service and "Pediatric dentist" listed among the clinic's Google Business categories. [s1] [gm] | 1.5/1.5 |
| ✓ | Emergency care "We offer emergency services as well as elective care" on the clinic's home page, with an "Emergency? Need to come ASAP?" route; "Emergency dental service" is also a Google Business category. [s1] [gm] | 1.5/1.5 |

| ? | Clear service explanations Service descriptions are short and partly generic theme copy; not judged either way. | 0/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Corrected 2026-09-11. The clinic's website publishes no usable hours - its "Service Times" block is unedited theme text describing church services - but the clinic's own Google Business Profile publishes a real grid: Monday to Sunday 08:00-20:00, read 2026-09-11. Hours published in a clinic's own Business Profile are published hours, and seven days to 20:00 covers both evenings and weekends. [gm] | 1.5/1.5 |

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: Listed as an approved health facility in Ethiopia's Master Facility Registry (Ministry of Health), facility Id 1038830, registered name "Abrahim Dental Medium Clinic", type Specialty Clinic, Adama town, Geda kebele, status Approved, as of the 20 February 2025 public extract (Matched on name plus location: "Abrahim" is the register's transliteration of the same given name, this is the only such dental facility in the Adama rows, and the register's row sits 50 m from the clinic's mapped Google place. Ethiopian facilities are registered by tier, so a clinic that markets itself as "Dr. Ebrahim Dental Clinic" appears in the register as a "Medium" clinic. The Master Facility Registry carries no licence number and no expiry date, so none is claimed; "Approved" is a facility approval status recorded on the snapshot date. Practising licences for Adama clinics are issued by the Oromia Regional Health Bureau, which has no public web presence at all.) [mfr] [gm]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Dentist names reassessed on 2026-10-16 under the clarified rule (methodology 1.4.2): a name counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register. The clinic names its dentists by first name only, so dentist names no longer count. |
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-05 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): nothing settled; suspicious review patterns left unassessed. |
| 2026-10-02 | Platform presence checked 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing; no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, EthYP or Trustpilot. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-29). |
| 2026-09-11 | Editorial review of the contact record: the clinic's website and its Facebook page were compared on 2026-09-11. The card keeps the telephone number and e-mail address its website and Google listing agree on, and now records the second telephone line and second e-mail address that appear only in the Facebook bio. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputation pass: star histogram 0/0/1/0/28, the review records with their owner replies and the listing photo strip read live. convenientHours corrected from false to true - the website publishes only theme boilerplate, but the clinic's own Google Business Profile publishes Monday to Sunday 08:00-20:00, and hours published in a clinic's own profile count as published. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection for the Ethiopia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via drebrahimdental.com, the live Google Maps place record, and the Ministry of Health Master Facility Registry public extract. |
