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 No mention of sedation or general anaesthesia found on the clinic's website (idealdental.com.mx).

Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Change History

DateChange
2026-10-02Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: separate service pages present.
2026-09-25Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (home, booking page and treatment-shop pages) and its Google listing (reviews in three sort orders, photos, hours). Corrected: the clinic has its own live website, in English by default with a Spanish version. Recorded: panoramic X-rays and a 3D tomography consultation offered in the clinic's treatment shop; an online quote form that accepts photos or X-rays; a booking page with date and treatment fields; a WhatsApp contact; a Facebook page linked from the site; structured business data; a genuine treatment-room photo on the Google listing; owner replies to reviews; three reviews describing appointments where the promised equipment, doctor or treatment was not available; no signs of manipulated reviews; no TripAdvisor listing. Still unverified: pediatric and emergency care.
2026-09-07PriceTransparency re-evaluated 2026-09-07 (Y16): the clinic’s online shop prices five of six treatment categories in MXN (previously all false). pricesPublished, cleaningPriceListed, fillingPriceListed, crownPriceListed and consultationPriceListed now true; implantPriceListed stays false because the only implant-fixture line is a "Starting at 0.00 MXN" placeholder (the opaque_prices flag for it is unchanged). See ideal-dental-center-shop-2026-09-07.
2026-09-07opaque_prices flag re-verified under methodology v1.4.0 and kept with citable evidence: the clinic now publishes a treatment price list, and its dental-implant entry is priced at "Starting at 0.00 MXN Pesos" — a placeholder, not a price (fetched 2026-09-07). Note rewritten from the unsourced 'best-price guarantee' wording to the quoted evidence; supporting source recorded.
2026-09-07opaque_prices flag reviewed under methodology v1.4.0 and kept: the note hints at opacity but cites nothing verifiable, so it is annotated for re-verification at the next check.
