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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Own site's IV-sedation page: patient stays 'conscious but deeply relaxed'; site contrasts this with GA which 'makes you fully unconscious'. GA not offered. [khoury-dental-clinic-sedation]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against MOPH Health Facility Locator and LDA Search Members: MOPH's open registry has no dental-clinic category (only Dental Lab), so clinicLicense is null (registry does not cover this facility type); LDA (the dentists registry) is blocked by a Cloudflare challenge (HTTP 403) on every path, so both doctors' licenses are null (registry inaccessible). |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Own site's IV-sedation page: patient stays 'conscious but deeply relaxed'; site contrasts this with GA which 'makes you fully unconscious'. GA not offered. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged and clinic open; captured Google rating 4.9 (197 reviews, review last month); own site's IV-sedation page confirms patients stay conscious/awake (not general anaesthesia). |
