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 No sedation/anesthesia info found on dental-vacations or cosmetic-dentistry pages.
Summary
Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio, operating under the website panamadentalclinic.com, is a multi-specialty private clinic in the Doleguita area of David led by Doctora Luz Magalys Serrano. The clinic markets itself partly to dental tourists, offering preferential scheduling for patients visiting on vacation and discounts for senior citizens. Services include orthodontics, periodontics, implantology, general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and children's dentistry. Dental work is described as carrying a five-year guarantee.
The clinic's Google listing announces its reopening in new premises at Doleguita, Calle H Norte, behind Cable & Wireless; directories still give an earlier address on Avenida Obaldía and the phone 777-4887, which no longer appear on the clinic's own channels. Hours on the clinic's website: Mon-Fri 08:00-18:00, Sat 08:30-12:00. A second San Antonio entity (San Antonio Clínica Dental, micita.pa) at D Nte 413-14 with phone 6238-2346 lists different contact details and prices; this entry covers only the panamadentalclinic.com clinic. The Facebook pages named "Clínica Especialidades Dentales San Antonio" and "Especialidades Dentales San Antonio" belong to clinics in Costa Rica, not to this clinic.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: the clinic has a WhatClinic profile (Odontologicas Specialties Clinic, with Dr Luz Magalys Serrano), so presence on other review platforms is now marked yes. |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website, its Google listing and the Facebook page on file on 2026-09-30: address corrected to the new premises in Doleguita (Calle H Norte) announced on the clinic's Google listing, replacing a directory's Avenida Obaldía; the Facebook page on file belongs to a clinic in Costa Rica, so it is unlinked and presence on Facebook is now unverified. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home and contact pages, plus structured data) and its Google listing (five newest and five lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: a genuine team photo in a treatment room; Organization structured data on the site; the contact page is a plain name/email/message form with no appointment-time booking; only one service (cosmetic dentistry) has its own dedicated page; no signs of review manipulation or a recurring complaint theme. Still unverified: on-site equipment (X-ray, CBCT) and whether oral surgery or same-day emergency care are offered (not described on the pages read). |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.6, 11 reviews) and canonical place URL for Clínica de Especialidades Dentales San Antonio, David. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live; PHONE CORRECTED to +507 775-8191 (from stored +507 777-4887), consistent across the site's header and footer; the site also lists a mobile/WhatsApp number +507 6611-1939. The site did not display a full street address to cross-check, so the stored address is left unchanged. No Google Maps link found on the site and no citable Maps place URL located for a rating. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live with current hours (Mon-Fri 8am-6pm, Sat 8:30am-12pm). Phone corrected — stored +507 777-4887 does not appear anywhere on the live site; the site lists +507 775-8191 (office) and +507 6611-1939 (mobile) instead. No street address is published on the site, so the stored address could not be reconfirmed. No Google Maps link found on the site, and no search could be run that day, so rating/geo were not captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-18 | Imported from the city-tier dataset. |
