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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): the owner replies to reviews; no repeated complaint; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 1012 (was 959) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-08-26 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site documents general anaesthesia used for oral-rehabilitation cases where it is described as indispensable. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live), contacts, Google reputation (5.0/959, very active) and operating status (open); added geo + Maps URL; added 1 new external source (Doctoralia professional profile) beyond Google Maps; visibility scout 5 queries run (not present in any top-10 today, despite very high Google rating/volume); both existing sources already cited, none uncited to triage. Sedation research (separate file) found the clinic's own site explicitly documents general anaesthesia for oral-rehabilitation cases -> recorded true. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: OralStudio is registered as director José Fernando Espitia Mesa's individual Profesional-Independiente habilitación (050010831501) at the clinic's exact address, serving as both the clinic-level and doctor-level finding. |
