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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Only "conscious sedation (laughing gas / nitrous oxide)" is documented; methodology's sleep-dentistry criterion requires GA or deep/twilight sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware, which is not what is offered here. [s1]
Summary
Multi-doctor dental group in the Florentin/Neve Tzedek area of Tel Aviv, founded by Dr. Raphael Abergel, fielding named specialists across endodontics, orthodontics and restorative dentistry, with an English-language site and a separate published emergency line.
Self-reported Google rating of 4.8/5 (264 reviews) is stated on the clinic’s own site; the live Google Maps listing was re-read on 2026-09-02 and shows 4.9 from 297 reviews at Chayim Vital St 20, 6608822 — the live figure is used. "Conscious sedation (laughing gas)" is explicitly nitrous-based; per methodology this does not count as the general-anaesthesia / deep-sedation "sleep dentistry" criterion, which requires the patient to be asleep and unaware. Roster correction 2026-09-02: an earlier reading of this card also listed a "Dr Ruby Peretz" among the clinic’s dentists; that name appears on the site only inside a quoted French-language Google review, not on the team page, and the only Ruby Peretz in the MOH register (2-10328) is registered in Jerusalem — so the roster here is the five dentists the clinic itself publishes. Licensing: all five were matched in the MOH Practitioners Registry (Dr Abergel 2-11708; Dr Lyubarova 2-171919; Dr Katsev 2-9649; Dr Zhilich 2-175182; Dr Adari 2-183409), all permanent licences with status active (pa'il). The register records no endodontics certificate for Dr Lyubarova and no orthodontics certificate for Dr Katsev, so those roles are the clinic’s own description of their work rather than MOH specialist titles.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

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 team page publishes five dentists: Dr Raphael Abergel (founder, dental surgeon), Dr Maria Lyubarova (endodontist), Dr Jean Katsev (orthodontist), Dr Andrei Zhilich (restorative), Dr Sam Adari (dental surgeon). [s1] [s3] | 3/3 |

Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ✗ | Prices or price ranges published Price sweep 2026-09-03: full site re-checked directly (homepage + treatments pages) for a dedicated prices page — none found; the site names a Fotona laser and Romexis imaging software but publishes no costs for any procedure. [s1] | 0/3 |

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 2026-09-03 and reconciled against the star histogram, which sums exactly to the review count in the place header. Unchanged at 4.9. [sm] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume Re-read live 2026-09-03; reproduces to the digit and equals the histogram sum. [sm] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest review visible on the place page's Reviews tab is 1 month old. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. The bucket is therefore no better than the page proves. [sm] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner replies to Google reviews: 1 of the 5 reviews read carry an owner reply, the latest dated 2026-09-28. [dental-harmonia-telaviv-deepen] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints No negative surfaced among the eight visible. Histogram 282/6/0/1/8 over 297; 8 one-star reviews were not surfaced. One visible review mentions a severe toothache treated on Tisha B'Av - a holiday reference offered as praise, not a complaint, and not counted either way. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns Histogram 282/6/0/1/8 over 297 - sums exactly to the header count, and 1,444/297 = 4.862 reproduces the published 4.9. The 8 one-star and 1 two-star blocks stand unremoved, dates span 1 to 5 months, wording is individual and names four different dentists (Dr. Andrey Zh., Dr. Raphael, Dr Sam Adari), and accounts hold 1 to 15 reviews. Read on the Google Maps place page's Reviews tab on 2026-09-03. The sample is in Google's relevance order; a newest-first list was not available. [sm] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence Facebook page facebook.com/DentalHarmoniaTlv referenced from the clinic site. [s1] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile on MedReviews, WhatClinic or Trustpilot, and Dental Departures does not cover Israel (checked 2026-10-02 and 2026-10-05).

| ✓ | CBCT (3D imaging) Imaging page: "Panoramic, CT and 3D imaging done on site", with "a volumetric view essential to plan implants and surgeries" — cone-beam-class volumetric imaging on site. [s1] [s4] | 2/2 |
