General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: dentaltravelservices.com listing (elite-search) confirmed dead - it named all 3 doctors. Added the clinic's own live official site (elite-web, re-fetched and read directly, confirms all 3 doctors by name and role) as an additional source on each. Not pruned: elite-search remains cited (importer union-merges doctor sourceIds, cannot be stripped). smilejet.app (elite-rating, also dead) backs only reputation.onOtherPlatforms - no live "other platform" alternative was found (the official site does not mention third-party review platforms) and it is left unresolved; elite-rating remains cited, not pruned. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 2 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. elite-rating [https://smilejet.app/clinic/elite-dental-metropole]: https://smilejet.app/clinic/elite-dental-metropole (HTTP 404, rotten) | elite-search [https://www.dentaltravelservices.com/dental-clinics/dentist/elite-dental-viet-nam]: https://www.dentaltravelservices.com/dental-clinics/dentist/elite-dental-viet-nam (unable to get local issuer certificate, rotten) |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against the HCMC Department of Health practitioner-licence lookup (thongtin.medinet.org.vn): confirmed active dental practice certificate 046647/HCM-CCHN for Dr. Tran Chau Bao Phuc (Trần Châu Bảo Phúc), scope Răng Hàm Mặt (dental/maxillofacial), status Đang hoạt động. Searches for Dr. Van Thi Thu Thuy and Dr. Cu Hoang Anh were inconclusive — the portal malfunctioned mid-session and kept returning its unfiltered default listing instead of name-matched results across repeated attempts on fresh tabs — so these are recorded as null, not false. The facility-licence (clinic-scope) module of the same portal was also attempted (for a different clinic) and showed the identical malfunction, so Elite Dental's own clinic licence was not looked up this session. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, clinic open; Google Maps review count grew to 459 (from 321), rating steady at 4.9; captured Maps URL and coordinates. |
