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
Implant- and oral-surgery-focused practice branded around its lead dentist, working from two consultorios in Maldonado and Punta del Este with a WhatsApp-first contact flow and published opening hours. The dentist is corroborated by name in MSP's public InfoTítulos register with the title Doctor en Odontología and status Habilitado.
No Google place exists for this practice. A live browser search of Google Maps on 2026-09-11 — over the practice name and over both street addresses it publishes, Sarandí 475 and Dr. Edye 667 — returned ten other Maldonado and Punta del Este dental listings and none of this practice; the business standing at Dr. Edye 667 is a different, women-owned clinic trading as "Odontología Maldonado" on a different number, and the "Dres. Cacciacane" listing that does exist is in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Geo and the Google reputation fields are therefore left unset rather than filled from another practice's listing.

Reputation & Reviews
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.

| ✗ | Convenient opening hours The practice publishes its hours on its own site — "Lunes a viernes 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Sábado y domingo Cerrado" (read 2026-09-11) — so hours are published clearly, but there is no evening or weekend opening. Scored against a single published rule: evening opening (closing 19:00 or later) or Saturday/Sunday opening. [s1] | 0/1.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's single-page site and a national platform check. Recorded: implants, prosthetics and oral surgery are documented with specific procedures, but no orthodontics, pediatric or emergency service and no price figures. No structured data on the page. Checked TripAdvisor and the national WhatClinic directory: no profile on either. No Google Business listing for the practice could be matched: Maps searches by name return only the city or unrelated practices at nearby addresses, so its rating, review count and reputation fields are left unrecorded. |
| 2026-09-11 | The licence column carried the phrase "MSP habilitado — DOCTOR EN ODONTOLOGIA" where a number belongs, and printed it unchanged in both languages. The register reading behind it is unchanged and now sits in the notes column instead: MSP InfoTítulos confirms the practitioner on its public roll and publishes no licence number. The number the register does carry is a Caja de Profesionales Universitarios pension-fund number, which is not a professional licence, so it is deliberately not published on this card. |
| 2026-09-11 | Live verification in a browser: the absence of any Google Business listing was confirmed by live Maps searches over the practice name and both street addresses; opening hours and a Facebook profile were read from the practice's own site. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: street addresses for both consultorios and published opening hours recovered from the clinic's own site; the licence field normalised to the register's status token with the row details moved to the research note; a second automated place search again failed to find a Google place. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial research pass: Dr. Patricio Cacciacane — Odontología identified via web search discovery and own-site verification. |
