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.

| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own oral-surgery page: 'A general anaesthetic - where you would be asleep - can also be used, but this will only be given in a hospital' (referral, not on-site). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (dentalchiangmai.com; clinic also operates a second live domain cmdentalclinic.com for the same address/phone), address, and phone unchanged; captured first Google rating 4.8 (396 reviews) and coordinates; site documents general anaesthesia ('you would be asleep') is available for oral surgery via hospital referral. |
