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.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Conscious sedation is published as one of the centre's own sections and leaves the patient awake; no general anaesthesia or deep sedation is documented. [s1]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the MioDottore practice page cited before is empty (no services, team, contacts or reviews), its DocDental page is unverified and repeats Google reviews, and no profile of the practice was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read 5 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: no repeated complaint. |
| 2026-10-02 | Website structure read on 2026-10-02: business structured data found; separate treatment pages found. |
| 2026-10-02 | Checked 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: MioDottore (facility profile, no reviews yet). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-12). |
| 2026-09-09 | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. Conscious sedation is published as one of the centre's own sections and leaves the patient awake; no general anaesthesia or deep sedation is documented. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
