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
Multi-branch dental and dermatology clinic group with three locations across Dammam and Al Khobar (Al-Muraikabat, Al-Faisaliyah, Al-Hizam Al-Akhdar), offering teeth whitening, orthodontics, implants, gum treatment and oral surgery alongside dermatology and laser services; Arabic-only site.
Checked 2026-09-02: chamclinics.com/doctors/ names roughly 31 dentists, not the 13 the card previously claimed, and the page carries no per-branch attribution for any of them. Because the group runs three branches, the roster is not treated as this branch's roster: only the four dentists already on file are listed, and the count claim has been removed from the summary rather than restated at a larger number.

Reputation & Reviews

All three are recorded here. Sample: 8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session), histogram 3052/160/85/61/356 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03.
