General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, service list published, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | Found the clinic's own Facebook page by name search; the published phone number matches the card exactly. Recorded a confirmed Facebook presence. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 30 (was 21) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google Business Profile (it has no independent website). Recorded: no prices published; a genuine treatment photo on the listing; weekday hours to 19:00; Google 4.9 from 25 reviews, newest 2026-05-16, no recurring-complaint pattern; no TripAdvisor or other aggregator listing. Everything that would normally come from the clinic's own site — named dentists, a service list, equipment, WhatsApp contact — remains unchecked because no website exists. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial verification: confirmed address, phone and Google rating (4.9, 21 reviews); no dedicated website found; matched a review-named dentist to a Medical Council of Malta registration via a phone-number cross-reference. |
