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 |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Google indexing quality changed from good to partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-02 (own site first listed at position 7 of 10). |
| 2026-10-01 | Review platforms re-checked: Doctor254 lists the clinic and its dentist Dr Lucy Njoki Mutara, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from no to 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 2026-09-30 on the clinic's website (every page and post in its sitemap) and Facebook page (a year of posts): prices corrected to published, since the FAQ page gives braces at about Ksh 180,000 and a consultation fee of Ksh 2,000; the consultation price is corrected with it. The team page presents five clinicians, not the seven previously described. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (dedicated pages for cleaning, fillings, implants, checkup and X-ray, its booking form and homepage, in English) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine photo of the clinic's own branded mobile dental unit; address published with an embedded map; a dedicated X-ray page but no price found for any of the six tracked treatments; an online booking calendar covering service choice, insurance or cash payment and a time slot. Google reviews show owner replies on every readable review, no recurring complaints or suspicious patterns. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, CBCT, WhatsApp contact and whether the clinic documents work with international patients. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against KMPDC registers: clinic facility license found under 'Astradental Services'; both named dentists matched. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: address unchanged, not permanently closed (site itself returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch, so 'website live' not independently confirmed by direct open); Google-listed phone (+254 727 591579) differs from stored landline (+254 20 2088043) — recorded as correction since clinic's own August owner-post lists 0703 500 819 / 0727 591 579 as current numbers; recorded Google review count increase 676->683 (rating steady 4.8) and pin coordinates. |
| 2026-07-08 | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-04 | Initial data collection. |
