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.

Summary
Smiline Dental Hospitals is a private dental group established in 1996, with three branches in Hyderabad (Panjagutta, Hitech City and Nanakramguda). The team page lists more than 30 dentists across specializations including prosthodontics, endodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, orthodontics and pediatric dentistry. The group advertises international patient care and technology such as laser dentistry, intraoral scanners and CEREC same-day restorations.
No email address found on the official site. Opening hours differ slightly between the official contact page (Mon-Sat 9:00-20:30, closed Sunday) and the DentaVacation listing (Mon-Fri 9:00-20:00). The 4.8 rating with 1,089 reviews shown on DentaVacation does not state which platform the underlying reviews come from, so it was not recorded as a verified Google rating. CBCT is not explicitly documented ('digital imaging' and intraoral scanners only). Principal dentists are Dr. Ramakrishna (Chairman/MD) and Dr. Sunitha (Founder/Director); DentaVacation spells them Dr. Rama Krishna and Dr. Nalluri Sunitha.
