General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

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 |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | 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. |
