General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Found the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-29 via a name search - its published address and phone match the card exactly. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: not present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "English speaking dentist Panama City, Panama", "dental implants Panama City, Panama", "emergency dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "Panama City, Panama dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (English homepage) and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours). Recorded: the owner replies to most reviews, including critical ones; at least two independent reviews describe long waits despite arriving on time for a booked appointment; the homepage inquiry form lets patients select specific treatments; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: Facebook presence, on-site X-ray/CBCT and emergency care (not described on the pages read). |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (4.8, 105 reviews) and canonical place URL for Dental One, Town Center Costa del Este. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. A 4.8 rating was visible on a Google Maps search snippet and the site's Waze link could not be resolved to real coordinates (returned a generic fallback location), so no rating or geo data could be recorded with a valid citable source. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Site is live with current hours; address and phone match stored data. The site links to Waze (not Google Maps) for directions, and no search could be run that day, so a Google Maps listing could not be located and rating/geo were not captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Wisdom-teeth page: IV sedation with anesthesiologist, patient 'profundamente dormido', post-op amnesia. |
