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 Own homepage has no sedation mention; Yelp 'About the Business' bio vaguely lists 'sedation dentistry' among owner Dr. Ali Yazback's areas of experience but gives no detail on depth/consciousness -- too vague to meet the strict asleep/unaware bar.
Summary

No uncited existing sources found; nothing to prune. |
