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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's price pages (general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry), implant service pages, contact page and Google listing (newest, lowest-rated and most relevant reviews). Recorded: cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices published; digital X-ray and CT Cone Beam equipment; WhatsApp offered as a contact channel; online consultation booking; detailed step-by-step procedure explanations; weekday hours to 19:00; Organization/Dentist structured data. Two independent 1-star reviews describe unprofessional staff attitude at the Tu Xuong branch (recurring complaint); no TripAdvisor listing found. No emergency or same-day service documented across the price and service pages. |
| 2026-09-10 | Twin parity (hochiminh-dental / vietnam-dental publish the same clinic): 1 dentist row(s) that this card left unchecked now carry the licence number the twin card recorded for the same person, together with the twin's own source and its reading. The Sở Y tế TP. Hồ Chí Minh lookup is the licensing register for the city this clinic is in, and the reading is a single exact match on the dentist's Vietnamese name. |
| 2026-09-10 | Van Thi Thu Thuy and Cu Hoang Anh both confirmed independently via clinic's own site (elitedental.com.vn). |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 2 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. elite-rating [https://smilejet.app/clinic/elite-dental-metropole]: https://smilejet.app/clinic/elite-dental-metropole (HTTP 404, rotten) | elite-search [https://www.dentaltravelservices.com/dental-clinics/dentist/elite-dental-viet-nam]: https://www.dentaltravelservices.com/dental-clinics/dentist/elite-dental-viet-nam (unable to get local issuer certificate, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged for the 51A Tu Xuong flagship; Google rating steady at 4.9 but review count rose 321->459. Noted the separate Metropole branch listing (Elite Dental Metropole - Implant & Orthodontic Dental Center) rates 5.0 with 264 reviews as its own Google place. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Implant page: 'implant surgery...performed under local or general anesthesia.' |
