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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Sedation options page documents nitrous oxide and general anaesthesia for both adult and paediatric treatment. [s3]
Summary
Orthodontics-led private practice with three Shanghai locations — Jing'an (Puxi), Jinqiao (Pudong) and Huacao (Minhang). The clinic publishes a named eight-dentist team including two orthodontic specialists, English, German and French patient pages, an urgent-care page and a documented sedation offering that includes nitrous oxide and general anaesthesia. The card records the Jing'an address. The clinic states it was voted a leading dental clinic by Time Out Shanghai readers; that is a reader poll, not an independent audit.

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
20 / 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 Eight named dentists with individual profile pages: Dr. Kevin Chan, Dr. JC Lin, Dr. Shaun Weng, Dr. Rouble Rana, Dr. Grace Zhou, Dr. Tony Liu, Dr. Helen Zhuang, Dr. Lukman Hakim. [s1] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Each name carries a discipline label (specialist in orthodontics, general and cosmetic dentist, implant dentist, paediatric dentist). [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos Genuine headshots of the clinic's named dentists on its doctors page; the Jing'an location page itself uses stock imagery [puresmile-shanghai-deepen] [s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details The Jing'an clinic page publishes the street address (818 West Nanjing Road, Room 1201; the Chinese version reads Rooms 1201-1206), the telephone +8621 6363 6388 and the opening hours. Read 2026-09-05; the clinic's former /contact-us/ page now returns HTTP 404 and the site's "Contact Us" menu item points at the Jinqiao location page instead. The Jing’an number carried here, +86 21 6363 6388, is also printed by that same independent list (de1). [s5] [de1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | English website version English is the primary language; the site also publishes German and French patient sections. [s1] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published Street address plus a "Download Map" link on the clinic's own Jing'an location page. Corroborated on 2026-09-07 by a publisher other than the clinic: the German Federal Foreign Office list of medical facilities in Shanghai, edition 11/2023, prints the Jing’an office as 818 West Nanjing Road Room 1201 (de1). A second publisher independent of the clinic, the Baidu Maps place index, carries the practice as PureSmile Pushimei'er Kouqiang (West Nanjing Road branch) in Jing'an District (bd1); that corroborates the district and the Chinese name, not the street number or the room number. [s5] [de1] [bd1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
4 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Home, contact, location, insurance and service pages were read; the site publishes insurance and direct-billing information but no price list or price ranges. [s1] [s5] | 0/3 |
| ✓ | Cleaning price listed A cleaning price from 500 yuan is stated in an article on the clinic's own site [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-2] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | Filling price listed No filling price of the clinic's own on any page; its articles quote only general Shanghai market ranges [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Crown price listed No crown price of the clinic's own on any page; its articles quote only general Shanghai market ranges [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-3] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | Implant price listed No implant price of the clinic's own on any page; its articles quote only general Shanghai market ranges [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-3] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Consultation price listed Initial examinations are free of charge, per the clinic's own orthodontic information page [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-4] [puresmile-shanghai-deepen-5] | 2/2 |
| ? | X-ray / imaging price listed | 0/2 |

Confirms that a publisher other than the clinic carries the practice, under the Chinese name Pushimei'er Kouqiang recorded by the German Federal Foreign Office list, in the district on this card. Used under the China rule as confirmation of existence and district only — never as a rating, never as a review count, never as the clinic's own publication and never as a source of coordinates (Baidu publishes BD-09). Baidu's own place-search route (qt=s) answered need_recaptcha from this exit and was not used; no CAPTCHA or block was bypassed. Baidu lists no Jinqiao (Pudong) place for the operator, so the third location the clinic publishes is not corroborated here. | 2026-09-07 |

|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's whole website (54 pages and about 300 articles) and the Jing'an (Puxi) location page. Recorded: genuine headshots of the named dentists on the doctors page (the location page itself uses stock imagery); structured business data (Organization); a cleaning price from 500 yuan and free initial examinations, both stated on the clinic's own pages; no clinic prices for fillings, crowns or implants — its articles quote only general Shanghai market ranges. Not listed on TripAdvisor. Google reputation stays unrecorded, as the only matching Google listing belongs to a different PureSmile branch (Minhang). Still unverified: X-ray price and other review platforms. |
| 2026-09-07 | Box-network pass: the card was re-worked from a server on a different network and TLS stack, because every Chinese platform had answered an anti-bot page to the earlier exit. Baidu Maps’ place index answered and is added as the second channel independent of the clinic — it carries PureSmile Pushimei'er Kouqiang (West Nanjing Road branch) in Jing'an District and a second branch in Minhang District, confirming existence and district under the China rule and nothing else. The routes that stayed shut from this exit too, recorded so the next agent does not repeat them: Dianping redirects every search to the Meituan anti-spider page (action=spiderindefence), Meituan’s own search paths answer HTTP 404, Amap answers HTTP 500 on both search hosts and the Alibaba anti-bot page on its poiInfo service, Baidu’s qt=s place search answers need_recaptcha, and Tencent Maps’ jsapi answers "this function is not authorised". Two further checks came back empty rather than blocked and are recorded as such: the British Foreign Office list of medical facilities in China does not name this clinic, and Time Out Shanghai’s own site search returns no result for PureSmile, so the readers’ poll the clinic cites is still attested only by the clinic. Nothing was taken as a rating, a review count or a coordinate. |
| 2026-09-07 | Second-channel pass: the German Federal Foreign Office list of medical facilities in Shanghai (edition 11/2023) was added as a publisher independent of the clinic — it prints the Jing’an address and telephone carried here and the Chinese name Pushimei'er Kouqiang. No second independent channel beyond it could be read automatically on 2026-09-07: Dianping and Baidu Map answer a login wall and a recaptcha flag, Amap’s search endpoints answer the Alibaba anti-bot page or HTTP 500, SmartShanghai answers a bot challenge and 91160 answers HTTP 521. Nothing was taken as a rating, a review count or a coordinate. |
| 2026-09-06 | Checked by hand in a browser: the Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading, listing website, phone, address and pin coordinates; the checks that needed a rendering browser were worked through on the clinic own channels. |
| 2026-09-04 | Initial data collection for the China Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified from the clinic's own site (home, doctors, contact, locations, insurance, sedation and urgent-care pages). Google Maps could not be opened from our network after four separate searches, so rating, review count and coordinates are unverified. Clinic licence unverified: the Shanghai and national Chinese registers are both unreachable from outside mainland China. |
