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) — Not verified No anaesthesia/sedation info found on clinic's live site (dentista.com.pt)

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present. |
| 2026-09-24 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for five Porto, Portugal queries — "best dentist Porto, Portugal", "English speaking dentist Porto, Portugal", "dental implants Porto, Portugal", "emergency dentist Porto, Portugal" and "Porto, Portugal dental clinic for expats": present for "emergency dentist Porto, Portugal"; not present for "best dentist Porto, Portugal", "English speaking dentist Porto, Portugal", "dental implants Porto, Portugal" and "Porto, Portugal dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (emergency FAQ, orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, English and contact pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: digital panoramic X-ray and computed tomography as part of the diagnostic workup, dedicated orthodontics and pediatric dentistry pages, a full English site, an online specialty-based booking form, Saturday and evening hours, and no TripAdvisor listing. Google listing now shows 158 reviews (4.1), newest 2026-09-13; the histogram itself argues against review manipulation. Still unverified: whether the clinic replies to reviews (none of the ten reviews read show an owner reply). |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 1 of 2 dentists confirmed on the clinic's own homepage https://dentista.com.pt/; source added. The second (Dr. Rui) is not named on the homepage, which is a spotlight/hero page rather than a full roster, so stays unconfirmed (queue-a6.json) rather than a removal candidate. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic FOUND via ERS (Número de Registo 107539), which also revealed the full legal name of the clinic's Responsável Técnico, 'Catia Arabela Albuquerque da Costa Reis Pinto Cardoso' (record on file only had 'Dra. Catia'). Doctor licenses left null: 'Dr. Rui' has only a first name (OMD requires 2+ words, registry: individual dentists only, unsearchable as-is); OMD searches for 'Catia' combined with 2-3 of her surname components ('Catia Cardoso', 'Catia Pinto Cardoso', 'Catia Reis Pinto Cardoso') returned no single unambiguous exact match among several similarly-surnamed Porto-district dentists (e.g. 'Catia Reis', 'Catia Arcanjo Pinto') -- transliteration/compound-surname ambiguity. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: original record on file website prelada.pt is unreachable (expired SSL certificate); confirmed via Google Maps and direct fetch that the clinic's current live site is https://dentista.com.pt/ (same clinic name, address, and phone), so contacts.website is corrected/moved; recorded full street address (the record on file previously had only "Porto, Portugal"); Google review count increased to 155 (was 128), rating unchanged at 4.1; added geo coordinates. |
