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.

Summary

Hospital-affiliated network of dental clinics operated by Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi, with its flagship multi-specialty clinic at Park Place in Parklands and additional branches in Valley Arcade, Mountain View, Karen, Peponi Road, Capital Centre and Buruburu. Services span aesthetic dentistry, endodontics, implantology, oral surgery, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, periodontics and prosthetics. Appointments can be booked through the hospital website; individual dentists and prices are not published on the dental pages.

Multi-branch operation under a large teaching hospital; each branch has its own phone and reception email. An aggregator listing titled 'Aga Khan University Hospital - Park place Dental Clinic' shows 2.7 stars from 277 Google reviews, but its review keywords suggest the reviews cover the wider hospital rather than the dental clinics specifically, so no rating is recorded here.

Licensing & Credentials

Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.

Clinic operating licence: 00***2 (KMPDC – Register of Licensed Private Health Facilities) (KMPDC facility register searched 2026-08-25 for 'Aga Khan University Hospital Dental' — flagship Park Place branch matched 'THE AGA KHAN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PARK PLACE DENTAL CLINIC', Dental Centre, Nairobi, ACTIVE. Other named branches (Valley Arcade, Mountain View, Karen, Peponi Road, Capital Centre, Buruburu) appear in the register as general medical centres, not dental-specific entries, and were not individually verified as dental. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's own site, so no doctor lookups were possible.) [aga-khan-university-hospital-dental-clinics-lic]
