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.

Summary
Rajan Dental is a multi-specialty dental hospital on Dr Radhakrishnan Salai in Mylapore, Chennai, tracing its practice back to 1962, when it was started by the late Dr. B. P. Rajan. The English-language website lists more than twenty dentists across specialties including maxillofacial surgery, implantology, prosthodontics, orthodontics, endodontics, periodontics and pediatric dentistry. The clinic focuses on implant dentistry, including zygomatic implants, publishes a dedicated emergency phone line, and markets services to international patients.
The official contact page gives the address as 121/46 Dr Radhakrishnan Salai, while WhatClinic and the clinic's Facebook page list No. 56 Dr Radhakrishnan Salai; the numbering discrepancy is unresolved. Opening hours also differ: Mon-Sat 8:30-19:00 on the official site versus Mon-Sat 9:00-13:00/14:00-20:00 on WhatClinic. WhatClinic names dentists (Dr. Ashwin Rajan, Dr. Harinath) who do not appear on the official staff page. No full price list is published: the clinic's FAQ page gives a range for a single implant (Rs 45,000 to Rs 1,00,000), and other treatments are quoted after consultation; WhatClinic shows a few third-party EUR figures that were not attributed to the clinic itself. The clinic's Facebook page is facebook.com/RajanDental, linked from its contact page. Emergency line: +91 98402 44864. Six anaesthesiologists are on staff in addition to the dentists listed under licensing.
