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.

Reputation & Reviews

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read more of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-05 (12 distinct reviews in total): no owner replies found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's Facebook page in full and its Google listing on 2026-10-01: it documents implants, its treatment list and explanations in English; no dentist names or imaging are published. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-30 (About, contact section and every post of the past 12 months); recorded that it publishes no prices and linked the page as the clinic's Facebook contact. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected: the clinic's Facebook page (its only listed contact channel) has a working online appointment-booking widget with date and time selection, so pre-consultation booking is possible; the earlier "no online consultation channel" reading is outdated. |
| 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 | Read the clinic's Facebook page (posts and contact info). Recorded a same-day emergency care announcement and oral-surgery services per the page's own category; no WhatsApp/Line contact found. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google Business Profile, which links to a Facebook page rather than an independent website. Recorded: a genuine street-view photo of the clinic’s own signage; no prices published; afternoon hours to 19:00; Google 4.7 from 56 reviews, newest 2026-07-10, no recurring-complaint pattern; no TripAdvisor or other aggregator listing. Everything that would normally come from the clinic's own site remains unchecked; its Facebook page did not serve its content on 2026-09-17 either. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial verification: confirmed address, phone and Google rating (4.7, 55 reviews); no dedicated website found (Facebook only); a dentist first name appears in reviews but could not be reliably matched to a Medical Council registration, so licensing.doctors is left empty rather than guessed. |
