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 Google's index shows a cached snippet 'general anesthesia or sedation' for zygomatic implants, but that page 404s on the live site today, so it could not be confirmed.
Summary
Kearny Mesa practice focused on dental implants (All-on-4, same-day, zygomatic), cosmetic dentistry, veneers and Invisalign. Staff and most dentists reported to speak Spanish.
