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) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Clinic offers conscious sedation supervised by an anaesthesiologist. Their sedation page explicitly states the patient does not lose consciousness and can hear and respond during treatment. Not general anaesthesia or deep sedation. [dr-kundakcioglu-sedation]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for one Istanbul query — "emergency dentist Istanbul": not present for "emergency dentist Istanbul". |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic’s website (homepage, FAQ page and services sitemap) and its Google listing, which appears under a descriptive name and matches the clinic’s address, phone and website. Recorded: structured business data on the site, updated Google figures (4.9 from 1,653 reviews, newest within 3 months) and a recurring pattern of restorations (crowns, veneers, a composite) reported failing within weeks to a few years of treatment. Not found in TripAdvisor’s own search under either the clinic’s name or its Dentavie trading name. Still unverified: whether the clinic responds to reviews (no reply seen in the reviews read), emergency appointments, and whether review-pattern concerns raised by two reviewers reflect actual manipulation. |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı Sağlık Turizmi Yetki Belgesi (health-tourism authorization) list and the Doktor Bilgi Bankası: clinic license inconclusive against the health-tourism authorization list (see note); all 4 named doctor(s) left null — Turkey has no public dentist name-lookup registry (e-Devlet Doktor Bilgi Bankası requires login; chamber registers are members-only). |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (drkundakcioglu.com) live, address (postal code 34400 added) and phone unchanged; captured first-time Google rating 4.9 (1606 reviews). Note: the Google Maps listing itself uses the SEO business title 'İstanbul Dental Clinic Turkey | Dentist | İmplant | Crowns | Veneers' rather than 'Dr. Kundakçıoğlu', but the address and phone number match exactly, confirming it is the same clinic. |
| 2026-08-23 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Clinic offers conscious sedation supervised by an anaesthesiologist. Their sedation page explicitly states the patient does not lose consciousness and can hear and respond during treatment. Not general anaesthesia or deep sedation. |
| 2026-08-14 | Imported from the city-tier dataset (data originally collected 2026-07-10). |
