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 sedation/GA info found on homepage despite implant/bone-grafting services.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): a repeated complaint among the lowest-rated reviews; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: no business structured data. |
| 2026-10-02 | Online presence checked 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing found. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read on 2026-10-01: the clinic has its own page on a review platform (yelp.com), so it is present on other review platforms. |
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, and its Yelp page could not be opened, so "reviewed on other platforms" is now marked unknown. |
| 2026-09-07 | PriceTransparency re-evaluated 2026-09-07 (Y16): clinic now publishes package pricing in PHP/USD with a disclosed exchange rate (previously false). pricesPublished, crownPriceListed and implantPriceListed now true (bundled package prices, not per-unit); cleaningPriceListed, fillingPriceListed, consultationPriceListed and xrayPriceListed stay false — those services are named but never priced. See dental-world-manila-prices-2026-09-07. |
| 2026-09-07 | Opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no citable evidence found on re-verification: dentalworld.com.ph/dental-packages-rates/, fetched 2026-09-07, publishes package rates in USD with stated peso savings and a disclosed exchange rate, so the 'no prices published' premise no longer holds; the only source for 'higher-than-expected charges' is the clinic's Facebook page, which is not readable or citable automated). |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag reviewed under methodology v1.4.0 and kept: the note hints at opacity but cites nothing verifiable, so it is annotated for re-verification at the next check. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address, phone, and open status; captured Google rating 4.1 (175 reviews) and place URL for the Mall of Asia branch; no sedation/GA info found on site. |
| 2026-07-12 | Initial data collection. |
