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.

Summary
Dental Specialist Center of Davao is a multi-specialty private dental clinic in the Marfori Heights area. Its former website, archived in 2026, described a team of specialists, fellows and general practitioners covering oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics and periodontics, with evening hours until 10pm, PhilHealth accreditation in progress and no HMO insurance. That domain has since expired and no longer serves clinic content; the clinic keeps a Facebook page and a Google listing with the same phone number.
ClinicFinderPH lists an alternative address (Door 3, GND Building, Duterte St.) and phone ((082) 222-2098) that could not be confirmed against the clinic's own website, which consistently shows the Marfori Heights address. The ClinicFinderPH data may describe a different entity or an outdated address and was not used. A second mobile number (0917-715-1028) appears on the official site. Individual specialist names are not published; the website describes the team in aggregate. One Google review (2025-11-27) mentions a delay of about 40 minutes without notice.

Reputation & Reviews

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Review patterns re-checked 2026-10-01 on its Google listing: no sign of manipulation among 15 reviews. |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-30 | Read the clinic's Facebook page and Instagram in full for the past year on 2026-09-30: no prices are published; its posts name its dentists and their specialties. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's Facebook page on 2026-09-29. Recorded: named specialists with their fields documented (an oral surgeon and a prosthodontist on staff); the page's own language is English; a detailed case post explains a treatment process rather than just listing it; booking is by Messenger only, no WhatsApp/LINE; no TripAdvisor listing found. Still unverified: itemised prices, a published service list, CBCT, and opening hours. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, service list published, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-25 | Corrected: English-speaking staff are now recorded as unknown rather than absent. They were stated only on the clinic's former website; a website that no longer works is not evidence that the staff do not speak English. |
| 2026-09-25 | Corrected: entries that described the clinic's former website (English version, specialisations, service list and explanations, service pages, English spoken, evening hours) are now recorded as not published, because that website no longer works, and the web address is removed from the contact details. Services now rest on an archived copy of the former services page (2026-04-22); X-ray and CT entries are withdrawn because that page names no imaging equipment. The phone, address and map are now taken from the clinic's Google listing. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews) and its listed website. Recorded: Google rating 4.6 from 15 reviews; genuine premises photos on the Google listing (waiting area, exterior signage); owner replies to reviews; "Emergency dental service" listed as a category on the claimed Google Business Profile. Corrected: the clinic's website domain has expired and now redirects to a domain-parking service, so the website and all price criteria are updated to reflect no live site; the earlier recurring-complaints finding rested on a single review and is not supported on a fuller reading. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, international-patient services, WhatsApp/LINE and online booking, none documented outside the clinic's Facebook page. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; not permanently closed. Captured first Google rating 4.9 (14 reviews) and geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
