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.

Resumen
VIAL Centro Médico Dental es una clínica médica y dental combinada en el Bayside Center de Playa Coronado, en funcionamiento desde julio de 2012. Fue fundada por el Dr. Aldring Atencio, quien anteriormente dirigió el departamento dental de la Clínica San Fernando Coronado. El área dental ofrece ortodoncia, rehabilitación oral, cirugía maxilofacial, endodoncia, periodoncia, odontología pediátrica, implantes y tratamientos estéticos. Es citada de manera constante por fuentes de expatriados como la principal opción dental de habla inglesa en el corredor de Coronado; en junio de 2026 su Instagram anunció una segunda sede en los Consultorios ONDGO de La Chorrera. Se publica un número de WhatsApp; el antiguo dominio web de la clínica (vialdental.com) ya no contiene información de la clínica y, desde septiembre de 2026, muestra el sitio de una empresa ajena.
A second phone number (345-4623) appears in some listings. The email address [email protected] appears in a 2012 playacommunity.com article as a direct contact for Dr. Atencio; the operational email on record is [email protected]. The clinic's Instagram account @vialclinic is its active channel; its two Facebook pages have not posted since 2022 and 2024. The former dental website vialdental.com returned a DNS error on 2026-08-18 and, as of 2026-09-25, shows an unrelated company's site with no clinic content. A separate Facebook page for the medical center (facebook.com/vialclinic/) targets Panama City audiences and may represent an older or different presence. The WhatsApp +507 6952-4672 was sourced from search-result snippets.

Historial de cambios
| Fecha | Cambio |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Re-read the clinic's Facebook pages and Google listing and searched TripAdvisor, WhatClinic and Dental Departures on 2026-10-01: presence on other review platforms corrected to none found; the Instagram and travel-app listings recorded earlier are not review platforms. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's Instagram account and its two Facebook pages on 2026-09-30: published prices and the cleaning price now unverified, as the $30/$20 cleaning prices come only from a 2012 community article and none of the clinic's channels shows them; dentist name and service list now rest on its Instagram, and the dentist's specialization in aesthetic dentistry is recorded from it. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's own Instagram (bio, highlights and feed). Recorded genuine photos of the clinic's named dentist; no premises-interior photos were seen, only doctor portraits used in the clinic's posts. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 4 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; dentist specializations listed and the filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (four reviews) and its former website address. Recorded: the listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible; newest review 2026-08-12; no published prices for fillings, crowns, implants, consultations or X-rays. Corrected: the former domain vialdental.com now shows an unrelated company's site with no clinic content, so it is no longer cited or linked as the clinic's website. Still unverified: equipment, opening hours and premises photos (Facebook and Instagram are not readable without login; the review base is too small to assess complaint or manipulation patterns). |
| 2026-09-10 | contacts.website held the non-URL placeholder "dead" (not a live link); a Google Maps search on 2026-09-10 found no verifiable live replacement (clinic name/phone match required); cleared to null. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://vialdental.com/]: https://vialdental.com/ (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND vialdental.com, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured previously-unreachable rating (5.0, 4 reviews) and canonical place URL for the exact-name match 'Vial Centro Médico Dental', distinguished from a nearby differently-named duplicate profile 'Clinica Vial, Coronado'. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: WEBSITE DEAD — vialdental.com no longer resolves (DNS failure, confirmed via two independent checks); no successor site was found, and no search could be run that day. Google Maps listing confirms phone +507 345-4622 unchanged and the clinic open. A 5.0 rating and approximate coordinates (~8.544,-79.913) were visible on a Maps search snippet but lacked a citable place URL, so were not recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: stored website https://vialdental.com/ fails to resolve at all (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND, both bare and www variants) — the domain is dead. No successor site could be identified — no search could be run that day — and no Google Maps link could be located from any other source. Address/phone/operating status could not be reverified today; flagged for a later recheck. |
