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.

Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked for the five standard Panama City queries (reusing the 2026-09-25 run recorded for this city): not present for any of the five queries. |
| 2026-09-10 | Twin parity (panama-dental / panamacity-dental publish the same clinic): this card listed the seven dentists named on the clinic's English homepage, while the twin card listed the fourteen named on the clinic's own specialists page. That page was re-read in full on 2026-09-10 and names exactly those fourteen and no one else, so the seven missing dentists are added here with the specializations the twin records. No licence number is claimed for any of them: all fourteen rows are unchecked on both cards, and Panama publishes no open dentist register. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live and address unchanged; PHONE CORRECTED to +507 6747-9111 (matches the site's call button and the Google Maps listing; stored landline +507 263-0200 no longer appears on the site) — the site's WhatsApp number +507 6503-5267 was also seen but not used as the primary phone; captured first Google rating 4.8 (24 reviews) with coordinates and canonical Maps place URL, obtained by resolving the clinic's own maps.app.goo.gl short link. |
| 2026-08-25 | Carried over from this clinic's Panama City card: reviewed a score-accuracy report submitted by the clinic on 2026-08-15 via the report-error form. Finding: the published score was computed correctly under the open methodology, but two categories (reputation & reviews; search/AI visibility — 30 of 100 weight points) had not been collected for any Panama card at that time. On 2026-08-25 reputation data was re-verified for this site's cards and this card's current Google rating, pin coordinates and updated phone number were recorded; the published score now reflects the added data. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, address unchanged. Phone corrected — stored +507 263-0200 no longer appears anywhere on the live site or its Google Maps listing; the site's own call button and its Google Maps profile both show +507 6747-9111 (a WhatsApp number +507 6503-5267 is also listed separately). Captured Google rating 4.8 (review count not recorded at the time) and pin coordinates; Maps listing shows the clinic currently open. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated page: conscious sedation only, patient 'despierto y cooperativo'; explicitly contrasted with anestesia general. |
