Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Doctoralia, Bookimed or Trustpilot; the dentist directory page cited earlier only repeated the clinic's Google rating, so this is now marked no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Re-read the clinic's website on 2026-09-29. Corrected: dentistNamesListed - the clinic's own site names no dentist (its team page holds only template placeholders); the earlier value rested on patient reviews, which are not the clinic naming its dentists. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-05-19). |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (all pages in its sitemap) and its Google listing. Recorded: a published service list with dedicated pages per service, no prices for any procedure, a digital-sensor X-ray unit, implants, orthodontics including interceptive treatment for children, surgery, no emergency care, a WhatsApp number, a Facebook link, and a Google rating of 4.8 from 17 reviews with owner replies. The site's team section holds only template placeholders, so no dentist specialization is published. Still unverified: whether the premises photos are genuine. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; found a live official website (smartsmile.mx, previously unset) and first Google rating (4.8, 17 reviews); reviews name lead dentist Dr. Ignacio Ávalos with ~20 years in practice; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no uncited sources existed to triage for this clinic (its single source, s1, is already cited); no qualifying new independent 3rd-party source found today beyond Google/own site. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this clinic's license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. |
