Anestesia general y sedación profunda
Si la clínica documenta tratamientos bajo anestesia general o sedación profunda / crepuscular — la «odontología del sueño», en la que el paciente duerme y no percibe nada (no siente, ve ni oye el procedimiento). La sedación consciente ordinaria, en la que el paciente permanece despierto y receptivo, no cuenta aquí. Es información orientativa y no afecta a la puntuación de transparencia.
- ✗ Anestesia general / sedación profunda (odontología del sueño) — Sin anestesia general ni sedación profunda documentada Wisdom-tooth page states only local anesthesia or conscious sedation depending on case. [clinica-ford-ford-dental-spa-sedation]

Historial de cambios
| Fecha | Cambio |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Re-read the clinic's website clinicaford.com on 2026-10-01: it carries schema.org structured data, says each periodontal case is assessed with radiographs, and its implant page gives an indicative cost of 1700-1800 for a complete implant treatment, so all three are now recorded. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's website on 2026-09-29. Recorded: every "Schedule an appointment" button opens a WhatsApp chat pre-filled with an appointment request. Still unverified: X-ray, CBCT and structured data. |
| 2026-09-29 | The clinic's website opened normally on 2026-09-29 and was read in full: it carries no TripAdvisor link, and a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five standard Panama City, Panama queries: present for "dental implants Panama City, Panama"; not present for "best dentist Panama City, Republic of Panama", "English speaking dentist 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 Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews, hours, photos); the clinic's own site (clinicaford.com) showed a security challenge on every attempt that day, including as text, so it could not be read. Recorded from the Google listing: genuine treatment-room and reception photos; the owner replies personally to reviews, including negative ones; at least two independent reviews describe being charged more than the price quoted; weekday-only hours with no evening or weekend opening. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, online booking, structured data and TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: filled in the previously-missing review count (82) for the already-stored 4.8 rating; same place ID as the clinic's existing Maps URL, confirming identity. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, not permanently closed; captured first Google rating 4.8 (review count not visible on this render) with coordinates and canonical Maps place URL, obtained by resolving the clinic's own maps.app.goo.gl short link. Also noted the site separately lists the Costa del Este branch via a direct maps cid link (cid=11771662021544553704), not used here since the Marbella location is the primary stored address. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, both branch addresses and shared phone (+507 223-4742) unchanged. Captured Google rating 4.8 for the primary Marbella location (review count not visible via a copy) and its pin coordinates; the separate Costa del Este branch listing shows its own 4.9 rating on Google Maps, noted here but not recorded as the clinic's primary value. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Wisdom-tooth page states only local anesthesia or conscious sedation depending on case. |
