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 "Sedation Dentistry" appears in the clinic's feature list, but no page says whether this is general anaesthesia or deep sedation, or conscious sedation. [sandton-dental-clinic-dr-s-peer-deepen-5]
