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 Site blocked to automated access today (CloudFront 403); could not verify.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
15 / 20
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
Price Transparency
0 / 15
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
Reputation & Reviews
13 / 20

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-13 | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Santiago queries, read once for every clinic of the Santiago list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. The query for an emergency dentist was read at night, when most clinics are closed, and its earlier reading is kept for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read 16 of the clinic's Google reviews in four orders on 2026-10-01: the listing is the dental clinic's own, the low ratings repeat one complaint about front-desk handling, and there is no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the RedSalud website on 2026-10-01 (its branch page for Manuel Montt, the dental-clinics page, the diagnosis offer and an implant-planning article): recorded cone-beam CT imaging, oral surgery, an online-bookable first consultation with treatment plan and cost estimate, and structured data on the branch page. |
| 2026-10-01 | Review platforms re-checked: no reviewable profile on WhatClinic or Doctoralia, and Dental Departures lists no clinics in Chile, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the network's dental-clinics page for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-31). |
| 2026-09-17 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard patient searches: the clinic was not present for "best dentist Santiago", "English speaking dentist Santiago", "dental implants Santiago", "emergency dentist Santiago" or "Santiago dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic’s Google listing; its website remained blocked to automated access today, as in the last check. Recorded: Google rating steady at 4.1 with review count up to 128; the clinic replies to all five readable Google reviews. Still unverified: equipment, oral surgery, emergency care, English-speaking staff, an online pre-visit consultation tool, structured data and TripAdvisor presence remain unverified while the site blocks automated access. Complaint and review-pattern readings are also left unrecorded: one readable review concerns a non-dental (psychiatric) consultation, so this Google listing appears to mix reviews across co-located RedSalud services at the same address. |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26: institutional accreditation registry does list other RedSalud-branded entries, but this clinics.json entry links only to RedSalud's general dental-clinics landing page (no specific branch/address to match), so recorded null not false. No named doctors on site to check against RNPI (which is itself unreachable, connection refused, re-confirmed 2026-08-26). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (redsalud.cl) returned 403 (CloudFront block) to direct automated access both via fetch and browser -- treated as live based on the dedicated dental-clinic Google Maps listing (which matches the stored address exactly). Confirmed address/phone unchanged via Maps. Recorded first-time Google rating 4.1 (127 reviews) from the dental-specific 'Clínica Dental RedSalud Manuel Montt' listing. |
