Authority gaps are the primary driver of the score due to missing regulatory evidence in the structured data and page body. There is zero Person schema and no GDC numbers linked to the clinicians mentioned. Furthermore, the ‘treatment-enquiry’ page is functionally empty in the crawl data, representing a technical credibility gap for a site promising ‘state-of-the-art’ care.

The site makes bold claims about being the ‘UK’s leading provider’ and having ‘over 4 million patients,’ which are stated as facts but lack links to annual reports or third-party market validation. While the ‘Before and After’ smile gallery provides visual proof, the lack of clinical case study documentation for complex treatments like ‘dental implants’ creates a minor disconnect.

Identity & Authority is read from the structured data first: whether the site declares who it is in machine-readable schema, with verifiable identity links. Below is the schema captured per page, then the external proof links that support (or fail to support) that identity.
