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 Own implants page has no sedation info beyond general comfort messaging.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Presence on review platforms checked on 2026-10-05: a DocDental page with 1 patient review found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Re-read the clinic's website and a year of its Facebook posts on 2026-10-01: it takes X-rays itself, which is now recorded; the "3D diagnostics" previously read as cone-beam CT is its intraoral scanner, so CBCT is no longer recorded. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (home, dental implants, esthetics and Invisalign pages, blog) and its Google listing. Corrected: the site publishes starting prices for implants (from €750), crowns and veneers (from €650), whitening (from €380) and Invisalign plans (previously recorded as not published). Recorded: a genuine storefront photo on the Google listing; implant surgery by the clinic's own surgeons; pediatric and emergency care listed as Google Business categories; an initial consultation with a treatment plan and cost breakdown; Organization structured data; hours running to 20:00 on two weekdays; Google rating 4.9 from 486 reviews, newest 2026-09-16, with owner replies to nearly every review and no repeated complaint theme among the few low ratings. Still unverified: on-site X-ray (no equipment described on the site) and TripAdvisor or other review-platform presence. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against GuiaDentistas (Barcelona province): found active colegiado numbers for both named doctors (Fenés; Manrique Del Castillo, second surname unconfirmed). Clinic establishment licence not found via REGCESS (technical failure) or the clinic's own site. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, operating status open; captured Google rating 4.9 (483 reviews, previously unset); captured place URL and geo coordinates; sedation research: own implants page has no sedation-type info beyond general comfort messaging, so recorded as unknown (a third-party medical-tourism listing mentions 'IV Sedation' but that page was not opened directly, so not used as a source). |
| 2026-07-10 | Initial data collection. |
