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) — Not verified
Summary

Reputation & Reviews
11.5 / 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.
| ◐ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) as of 2026-09-10 [gmap] | 3/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume [gmap] | 0.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-07-28 (listing read 2026-09-29). [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-gbp-2026-09-29] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews The owner has replied to reviews on Google: 2 of the 8 reviews read carry an owner reply; the latest reply is dated 2022-01-10 (to a review of 2020-05-07). [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-deepen-8] [gmap] | 2/2 |
| ? | No recurring complaints 1–2★ ratings are 3 of 15 (20.0 %), but only one of the three has a detailed text (invented cavities and extra sessions) and the others are a short remark and a rating without text, so no shared theme can be read. [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-deepen-8] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No manipulation signs in the read reviews [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-deepen-2] | 2/2 |

Medical Infrastructure
6 / 15
The range of publicly documented equipment and services. This measures documented availability, not clinical quality.
Communication & Service
2.5 / 10
How easy it is to contact the clinic, get answers, and book - especially for international patients.
| ✗ | WhatsApp / LINE available The initial data collection recorded this as true, but the homepage, contact page and gallery read on 2026-09-10 carry only "099 119 522" as a phone number plus an email address — no wa.me link, WhatsApp button or WhatsApp wording anywhere on the site. Recorded the same way as the other card in this country whose site publishes a phone but no messenger. [s1] | 0/2 |
| ? | Response speed | 0/1.5 |
| ? | English spoken | 0/2.5 |
| ✗ | Pre-visit consultation possible Only a generic contact form/phone, no service or time selection [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-deepen-5] | 0/1.5 |
| ✓ | Clear service explanations Treatments are described, not just named [dr-fernando-texeira-nunez-deepen] | 1/1 |
| ✓ | Convenient opening hours Hours published in the practice's own Google Business Profile, re-read live 2026-09-11: Tuesday to Thursday 2–7 PM and Friday 10 AM–4 PM, with Monday and the weekend closed. The three midweek days close at 19:00, which meets the evening test; the practice's own website publishes no hours at all. Scored against a single published rule: evening opening (closing 19:00 or later) or Saturday/Sunday opening. [gmap] | 1.5/1.5 |
AI & Search Visibility
0 / 10
Whether the clinic is discoverable when patients search - including via AI assistants. Checked with fixed queries: "best dentist Uruguay", "English speaking dentist Uruguay", "dental implants Uruguay", "emergency dentist Uruguay", "Uruguay dental clinic for expats".

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 3 of 15 and the low reviews themselves were not read; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-07-28). |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: the clinic's website address was removed after a check on 2026-09-29: the domain currently serves content unrelated to the practice. The clinic is recorded as having no working website; website features (structured data, service pages) are recorded as absent, the entries that rested only on that website (dentist name and specialisation, photos, service list, contact details, prices) are now unverified, and the address and map rest on the clinic's Google listing. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's treatments, contact and gallery pages and its Google listing. Recorded: a free orthodontic evaluation is published; treatments are individually explained; only a generic contact form, no online booking widget; no structured data. No price figures beyond the free evaluation. The 15 Google reviews (spread 2018-2026) show no sign of manipulation. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. Still unverified: on-site X-ray/CBCT equipment, pediatric and emergency services, English-speaking staff and work with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-11 | The practice's website was read again on 2026-09-11; an item count that the card gave as ten in one place and eleven in another was corrected to ten. |
| 2026-09-11 | Live verification in a browser: the practice's website was re-checked on 2026-09-11, the Business Profile hours were re-read and found to meet the evening test, and the low-review arithmetic was read from the rating histogram. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: the "best dentist Salto" ranking was traced to a page on the clinic's domain that is unrelated to the practice, so that AI-visibility field is refuted and set to false; the unsupported WhatsApp claim was withdrawn to null; Google place, rating, volume, recency, hours and geo read live; summary rewritten to drop research-trail wording. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial research pass: Dr. Fernando Texeira Núñez — Consultorio Odontológico identified via web search discovery and own-site verification. |
