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 Local anaesthesia only: 'El tratamiento se realiza bajo anestesia local y planificación digital precisa' [s1]

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
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) [zirconia-dental-center-deepen] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-08-26 [zirconia-dental-center-deepen] | 2.5/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency most recent review ~3 months old [zirconia-dental-center-deepen] | 3/3 |
| ? | Clinic responds to reviews Owner replies appear only on older reviews (latest 2025-04-08); none of the 5 reviews from the last 12 months read carries one. [zirconia-dental-center-deepen-8] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints The lowest-rated Google reviews read different complaints (two about implants, one about an undisclosed extra charge, one without text, one 3★ that praises the visit); 1–2★ ratings are 4 of 265 (1.5 %), so no complaint repeats. [zirconia-dental-center-deepen-8] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns No burst and no templated texts: the 10 reviews read (dated 2023-02-25 to 2026-09-30) fall on 8 different days, at most 4 five-star reviews fall within any 3 days (under 10 % of the 265 reviews), and no two open with the same wording.
