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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Offers nitrous oxide ('laughing gas') and IV sedation framed as calming aids for nervous patients; conscious throughout. [bld-web]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the DocDental page cited before only reproduces Google reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on Doctify, WhatClinic or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, dental-implants, technology and X-ray-safety pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine team/reception photo; consultation (including X-rays), hygiene, filling, crown and implant prices; in-house X-rays, a 3D CT bone scan and implant placement; WhatsApp offered as a contact option; a dedicated video-consultation booking page. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and a few low ratings that repeat complaints about rushed consultations and advice to have unnecessary treatment. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients. |
| 2026-09-09 | Editorial gate: the pseudo-source "sq" (url "search:...London", the 2026-07-10 AI/search-visibility scout) was removed from 1 criterion field outside aiVisibility, where it had been co-cited beside a real piece of evidence. Every real source on those fields is kept and no value changed; the sq citation inside criteria.aiVisibility.googleIndexingQuality, where a search query is the legitimate evidence, is left in place. Raised by the E1 assertion pass (e1-report.md deviation 1). |
| 2026-08-26 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers nitrous oxide ('laughing gas') and IV sedation framed as calming aids for nervous patients; conscious throughout. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open) and CQC registration (still active); Google Maps rating newly captured via direct lookup (4.9/539, corrects homepage's informal 5-star badge) with geo pin and place URL; added 2 external sources (Google Maps, fresh CQC re-verification); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-17410257397); all 5 named clinicians matched single, unambiguous GDC Dentist entries. |
| 2026-07-10 | Initial data collection. |
