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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented The clinic's own service menu, on every page of the site, carries a dedicated "Sleep Dentistry (GA)" item under General & Emergency - treatment under general anaesthesia, which is what this field records.

|---|---|
| 2026-10-13 | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Karachi queries, read once for every clinic of the Karachi list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-09-23 | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical Karachi queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website in full (all 51 pages in its sitemap and the three dentist profiles), its Google listing with the star histogram, dated reviews, practice replies, opening hours and photographs, the PMDC register by registration number and the Sindh Healthcare Commission list. Recorded: Google 5.0 from 14 reviews, all five-star, the newest readable review dated 2026-07-01 and answered by the practice. Corrected: the clinic publishes standing prices on its service pages - scaling and polishing PKR 8,000, composite filling from PKR 8,000, zirconia crowns PKR 45,000-65,000, implants from PKR 120,000, consultation and exam from PKR 1,500, periapical X-ray PKR 1,000 - so the price list and all six item prices are now recorded as published; the review-manipulation check is now left open, because three of the five readable reviewers have posted no other review; the cone-beam CT entry now states that the implant pages mention CBCT planning while the X-ray page refers even panoramic imaging out. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and whether a CBCT scanner is on site. |
| 2026-09-11 | The review-pattern row was settled after re-reading the listing: the star histogram, every review Google renders with its exact date, and each reviewer's account history. The reading and what it does not cover are written into the row itself. |
| 2026-09-11 | Reputation review: the clinic's own Google listing was read again, this time with its star histogram, its reviews with exact dates and any replies from the practice, its published opening week and its photographs, which were downloaded at full size and looked at. On this card the age of the newest readable review was dated exactly and recorded; the practice was found to answer reviews on its own listing; the photographs on the clinic's listing were downloaded and looked at, and they show the premises. |
| 2026-09-10 | Initial data collection: the clinic's own front, team and services pages were read; the Google place record was read automatically on both language surfaces, the rating pair coming from the Urdu surface; the three named dentists were looked up in the PMDC practitioners register, the third under two spellings and on the family name; the Sindh Healthcare Commission's 2025-05-21 snapshot was searched by trading name, principal and street, and a same-building near miss was recorded. Review-side fields were left unset with reasons and queued for a manual browser check. |
