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 Dedicated sedation page describes conscious sedation only: patient 'Alert and able to answer questions or follow the doctors instructions'; IV sedation causes amnesia but patient stays conscious.

Summary
English-language dental tourism practice led by Dr. Joaquin Berron with a team of specialists and in-house master ceramist lab, focused on implants, All-on-4/6 and full-mouth rehabilitation; presents comparative savings rather than published list prices, and does not publish a street address on the reviewed pages.
Appears closely associated with the Dentaris clinic (both reference Dr. Berron/Barrón); listed here as its own English-facing brand.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated sedation page describes conscious sedation only: patient 'Alert and able to answer questions or follow the doctors instructions'; IV sedation causes amnesia but patient stays conscious. |
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live); DISCOVERED street address and phone via Google Maps (both previously unset on file) - resolves the on-file 'no_address' red flag for this Maps-verified location, though the clinic's own site still does not publish an address (infoTransparency.addressAndMap left false, unchanged); Google Maps rating 4.8/18 reviews added; added 1 new external source (WhatClinic) beyond own site (onOtherPlatforms was previously unset, now true); sedation set false (dedicated page confirms conscious sedation only); visibility scout 5 queries (present for 'prominent dentist', 'english speaking' and 'expats' queries); no uncited sources found among s6/s14/sq. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's two mapped registries (RNP for dentists, CLUES for clinics): both confirmed nationally inaccessible today before any name search could be submitted (RNP: connection refused / Akamai challenge on both public entry points; CLUES: master-file host timed out), so clinicLicense and all 1 named doctor(s) are left null, not false. |
