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 Site offers 'Dental Sleep Medicine' for snoring/sleep apnoea, not sedation for procedures; no procedural sedation/GA info found

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present. |
| 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 Google listing, and the clinic's website, which is built with a script-driven page builder that did not expose its page text to this check beyond its raw links. Recorded: a Facebook link on the site; no recurring complaints or suspicious patterns among the readable Google reviews, newest review 2026-07-09. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, CBCT, pediatric and emergency services, WhatsApp contact, online consultation booking, opening hours and whether the clinic documents work with international patients — the website needs a further check. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against KMPDC registers, re-audited 2026-08-25 against the raw register HTML: clinic facility license re-verified unchanged (exact-name row 'THE DENTAL PRACTICE WESTLANDS HAVEN COURT' | 01***2). 5 of 6 named dentists now matched — Dr. Stefano Zanetti CORRECTED from null to D0*****1 after fetching the KMPDC Register of Licensed Foreign Dental Practitioners, which the prior pass had flagged as unchecked and which carries an exact full-name match. Dr. Meera Shah remains null: the two candidate entries (MEERA NILESH SHAH B1**6, MEERA HEMANT SHAH B1**0) were re-confirmed and remain equally plausible. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed; captured first-time Google rating 4.8 (11 reviews) and pin coordinates. Site also offers unrelated 'Dental Sleep Medicine' (snoring/apnoea) service, not procedural sedation. |
| 2026-07-08 | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-04 | Initial data collection. |
