Summary
Dental clinic in Karapitiya offering facial-aesthetic add-on treatments (botox, dermal fillers, PRP) alongside dental care. The named practitioner is registered as a dental surgeon, a register outside the scope of the medical-practitioner registers checked for this site.
Google Maps listing (reference, not scored)
What the clinic's public Google Maps listing showed when we read it: the rating other people gave, the number of their reviews and the hours the clinic itself publishes there. This block is a reference only — it does not enter the score, the rank, the ceilings or the holds, and we have not checked it beyond matching the listing to this record.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M1 | Specialist certification of the responsible physician Found in the register with a current status; the register does not disclose the specialty, or discloses a different one (including “no specialisation”), and the clinic claims no protected title. The register's own line is shown on the profile. SLMC Section 43 register of Dental Surgeons returns exactly one row for the named practitioner: reg_no 1285, SAMARANAYAKA KRISHANTHA INDRAJITH, 'BDS [PERADENIYA] / MD - ORAL SURGERY [COLOMBO]', matching the BDS and MD letters the clinic publishes. The Section 39B specialist dental register (SEC39BDP) returns no row for that surname or for reg_no 1285, so the practitioner is carried on the base practitioner register without a statutory specialist entry — the dental counterpart of the SEC29-only case set out in the registry map's m1Rule.

OFF | 26 | 2026-09-17 | |
| M2 | Identifiability of the responsible physician Physician(s) named with role and tied to this address. Sole named practitioner, role and founder status stated, single Karapitiya address. [site] |
SEC | 16 | 2026-08-31 | |
| M3 | Basic medical licence Matched by name (surname stem and given name or initial; a second identifier where the name is ambiguous). Matched by name in the SLMC Section 43 register of Dental Surgeons (reg_no 1285, SAMARANAYAKA KRISHANTHA INDRAJITH); the clinic publishes no registration number, so the match is by name and not by number.

| M5 | Legal-entity traceability Only a brand, without a legal form and without a responsible person. Whatever we find ourselves is shown on the profile as a fact and does not raise this cell. The clinic publishes no legal entity on any of the pages surveyed on 2026-09-17 — no company name, no registration number and no Pvt Ltd or PLC suffix anywhere, including the legal and terms pages. Brand only. [site] |

None of the five document classes is published — no informed-consent material, no risks or contraindications page, no aftercare page, no revision policy and no complaint route. [site] |

These cells score nothing and are not negative findings. A cell on a register that is closed to machine queries is left out of the coverage calculation; the others count against it. Each one names why it is empty; an attempt that did not complete is re-run in the next collection pass. If you can point to a public source, send it.
