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 Practice site (dentalimplantyucatan.com, same practice) has no anesthesia/sedation info despite doing implant surgery

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Re-read the clinic's own website and public listings on 2026-09-29. Not found on the checked pages: respondsToReviews. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's single-page website and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine facility photos, no English-authored content (only an auto-translate widget), no prices published for any procedure, no orthodontics, pediatric or emergency care, a Facebook link, WhatsApp contact, weekday-only hours closing at 18:00, and a Google rating of 4.8 from 19 reviews. Still unverified: whether the clinic responds to reviews (none of the reviews read show an owner reply). |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 'Dr. Ricardo Peniche' (Ricardo Peniche Rodriguez) confirmed via own-site content, independent of previously-cited aggregator (Dental Departures). |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts/Maps; captured first-ever Google rating (4.8, 19 reviews) and a live website - implantologiayucatan.com now 301-redirects to dentalimplantyucatan.com, the SAME domain used by the separate record on file entry 'Dental Implant Yucatán', and that site names Dr. Ricardo Peniche at the identical CMA address (Calle 54 365 interior 314); strong evidence the two record on file entries are now the same consolidated practice/web presence (flagged for site-owner review, not merged here); pruned uncited source s2 (dental-news.org, domain no longer resolves/DNS failure - dead); visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no qualifying new independent source found today beyond the practice's own newly-identified website. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both unreachable/non-functional today, and this practice has no own website to check for a self-published number. No clinic or doctor license found or ruled false for Dr. Ricardo Peniche; recorded null. |
