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.

Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.

| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns The histogram keeps 47 one-star, 3 two-star and 5 three-star reviews; visible dates span 1 month to 2 years; reviewers hold 2-300 reviews with three Local Guides among the eight. One oddity is recorded rather than ignored: the text of one visible review opens with a pasted machine-translation preamble, which suggests it was drafted with an assistant - a single instance, not a pattern, and not evidence of anything the clinic did.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Presence on review sites re-read on 2026-10-02: no profile on the review platforms checked. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Instagram in full on 2026-10-02 (every post and story of the past 12 months), together with its Facebook page: its only prices are a dated National Day campaign; it lists its services and offers bone grafting and a free consultation, and shows no imaging, children's or emergency care. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's own Facebook page, Instagram account and Google listing on 2026-10-01 (it has no website of its own): recorded its WhatsApp number, English-language patient reviews, named dentists with their fields, orthodontic and implant treatment, and a free consultation. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, service list published and published prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | Facebook presence re-checked directly on Facebook after the clinic's website domain was lost to a third party: the clinic group's Dammam-branch page was found, with the same address and phone number as the clinic's own listing. |
| 2026-09-25 | Corrected: the web address on the clinic's Google listing was registered anew by a third party on 2026-05-01 and now shows a generated one-page card, so the clinic is recorded as having no website, and that web address is removed from its contact details. Entries that relied on that page are revised: dentist names and a service list are recorded as not published, the oral-surgery entry is withdrawn, and the phone, address, map and opening hours are now taken from the clinic's Google listing. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing. Recorded: Google 4.7 from 716 reviews and a genuine treatment-room photo on the listing. The web address shown on the listing now carries only a two-page directory-style card (name, address, phone, hours) instead of the clinic's former website, so no website facts were recorded. Still unverified: the clinic's own website, prices, equipment, emergency care, online booking and presence on review platforms. |
| 2026-09-03 | reputation block assessed from live Maps: reviewRecency=within_3_months, respondsToReviews=true, recurringComplaints=false, suspiciousReviewPatterns=false (8 visible reviews, order relevance (Maps' sort control could not be operated in this browser session), histogram 632/9/5/3/47 (5*->1*), checked 2026-09-03). |
| 2026-09-02 | Live Google Maps re-verification (rating 4.7, 696 reviews, place URL + geo captured) and the five canonical AI-visibility search queries checked live for Dammam. |
| 2026-09-02 | Initial data collection for the Saudi Arabia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via durratalaalmy.com and a business-directory profile giving dentist names; Google rating not independently confirmed via a live Maps page as of 2026-09-02. |
