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.

Reputation & Reviews
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.
| ✓ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) as of 2026-08-26 (was unset); very large review volume for this cohort [dr-bracket-s-deepen] | 6/6 |
| ✓ | Google review volume as of 2026-08-26 [dr-bracket-s-deepen] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency Newest Google review is dated 2026-09-24 (listing read 2026-09-26). [dr-bracket-s-gbp-2026-09-26] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clinic responds to reviews Read on the clinic's own Google listing on 2026-09-11: the practice has answered 5 of the 5 reviews shown there (1007 published in total), most recently on 2026-06-02. One reply reads: "Muchas gracias! que bonito leer esta reseña de su parte". [dr-bracket-s-deepen] [gm-replies] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The lowest-rated Google reviews read different complaints (a rude front-desk exchange, an orthodontic plan changed late, two 3★ that praise the care); 1–2★ ratings are 3 of 1019 (0.3 %), so no complaint repeats. [dr-bracket-s-deepen-7] | 2/2 |
| ? | No suspicious review patterns Rated 5.0 from 1019 Google reviews; one reviewer says patients are pressed to rate in exchange for a gift. The ten reviews read show no burst, but the claim keeps the question open. [dr-bracket-s-deepen-7] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence [s1] | 1/1 |
| ? | TripAdvisor presence | 0/0.5 |
| ✗ | Other review platforms No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed (checked 2026-10-01). [dr-bracket-s-platforms] [dr-bracket-s-platforms-2] [dr-bracket-s-platforms-3] | 0/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Google indexing quality measured as poor after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (no website of its own, none listed). |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2024-08-29 to 2026-09-26; 5.0 from 1019): recurring complaints false. |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-11 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-06-02. |
| 2026-09-10 | Website https://www.drbrackets.com/ has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://www.drbrackets.com/]: https://www.drbrackets.com/ (attempt1: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443; attempt2 (+30s): connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443, other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: RECHECK FINDING - clinic website drbrackets.com is currently unreachable (connection refused/error page, tested both with and without www, via two independent tools) as of 2026-08-26, despite the business itself being clearly very active on Google Maps (5.0/999 reviews at the matched 'matriz' branch, plus two sibling GBP-listed branches with 545 and 554 reviews); added Google rating + pin coords + place URL (was unset, matched by exact address+phone); could not render the clinic's own Facebook page via available tools (content did not load) so only 1 clean independent external source (Google Maps) was obtained for the >=2 target; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found - website unreachable, no other source located. |
