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.

Reputation & Reviews
9 / 20
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 4 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-28). |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's nuestra-clínica, socios (membership) and contacto pages, and its Google listing. Recorded: on-site X-rays, orthodontic studies and pediatric fluoride care are documented; the named coordinator carries an administrative title rather than a clinical specialization. The clinic publishes a monthly membership-plan fee giving discounted rates on treatments, which the methodology does not count as a published per-service price, so all price fields stay false. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. Still unverified: CBCT imaging, work with foreign patients, online pre-consultation and how services are explained. |
| 2026-09-11 | Live verification in a browser: the first live Google rating and review count (5.0 over three reviews) were read with the full histogram, the Maldonado street address confirmed, and photographs of the clinic's own treatment room plus a named dentist found on its Facebook page. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: free first consultation and WhatsApp channels recovered from the clinic's own membership and contact pages; precise address, operating cooperative, geo and opening hours added; membership fee explicitly ruled out as a treatment price list. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial research pass: Centro Dental del Este identified via web search discovery and own-site verification. |
