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.

Summary
Small dental clinic on Triq Fleur-de-Lys in Birkirkara with a strong Google rating from a small review base. Google Maps lists a website domain for this clinic that, on inspection, is a third-party dental directory rather than a site the clinic runs, so no clinic-verified website could be confirmed.
Google Maps lists "cebudentalimplants.com" as this clinic's website. That domain was opened directly: it is a Philippines-based dental directory that carries a write-up about this clinic, not a channel the clinic runs — it is not used as a source here and hasWebsite is recorded as false.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no repeated complaint. |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google Business Profile (it has no independent website; the site link on the profile leads to a third-party dental directory). Recorded: no prices published; a genuine equipment photo; no weekend hours; the listing is unclaimed, so no owner replies are possible; Google 5.0 from 5 reviews, newest 2026-08-08; no TripAdvisor listing, though the practice has a WhatClinic profile with one patient review. Everything that would normally come from the clinic's own site remains unchecked because none exists. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial verification: confirmed address, phone and Google rating (5.0, 5 reviews); the website URL shown on Google Maps was checked and found to be an unrelated Philippines directory, so hasWebsite is recorded as false and no site-derived criteria are populated. |
