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 No sedation/anaesthesia info found on gdcabudhabi.ae (implants, pediatric-dentistry pages checked; only local anesthesia mentioned for implants)

Reputation & Reviews
18.5 / 20

|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the directory pages cited before are unclaimed or carry no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): structured data found. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): recurring complaints no, suspicious review patterns no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-17); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-18). |
| 2026-09-03 | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a goo.gl/maps short link (https://goo.gl/maps/o6FyfwHTUe5AKz6KA), so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Gentle Dental & Invisalign Clinic Abu Dhabi", website gdcabudhabi.ae and phone +971 2 676 4642 - both the website and the phone match this card exactly; address Junction of Delma, Villa No. 6, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.4486982, 54.358277. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.8/246 -> 4.8/321. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against DOH Abu Dhabi (TAMM Find A Medical Professional): both named doctors found with active licences matching name and specialization. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Google rating/review count could not be independently reconfirmed via an accepted source today; prior stored value of 4.8/246 left unchanged. |
