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 | Re-read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-01: the rating and the summary now rest on the Gachibowli branch's own listing (4.7 from 391 reviews) instead of a third-party aggregator's figure. |
| 2026-10-01 | Checked Practo on 2026-10-01: presence on other review platforms now rests on the Practo profile of the group's chairperson at its Koti branch; values unchanged. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (its own "Budget & Cost" and "Advanced Technologies" pages, its CBCT page, clinic-images gallery, treatment FAQ) and its Google listing for the card's own Gachibowli address. Recorded: multiple X-ray modalities (RVG, OPG, Lateral Cephalogram) and CBCT imaging documented in the clinic's own materials; the clinic's own cost page states prices are quoted individually by email rather than published, so no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices are recorded; an email-based pre-visit cost estimation process for international patients; a genuine, branch-labelled clinic photo; no recurring complaint themes in the visible sample. Corrected: the review count on record (475) had been sourced from the hospital's Madhapur branch via a third-party aggregator and explicitly flagged as such; a fresh reading of the card's own Gachibowli listing gives 390 reviews (the rating, 4.7, was already correct and is unchanged). Not found on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, not permanently closed; Google rating changed from 4.6 (2026-08-18) to 4.7. Review count not reconfirmed today, so the prior 475 is left unchanged/unset in this delta. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Wisdom tooth extraction page states general anaesthesia may be used for complex cases. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic license not verifiable (National Register of Clinical Establishments blocked from this network); doctor licenses not verifiable (no Telangana state dental council mapped for India, and DCI national register is blocked). All recorded as null. |
| 2026-08-18 | Imported from the city-tier dataset. |
