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 Own site: implants placed under local anaesthesia only. Third-party (Dental Departures) lists only nitrous 'Gas Sedation', no GA/deep sedation. [cidc-chiangmai-international-dental-center-sedation] [cidc-chiangmai-international-dental-center-sedation-2]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website: its fees page publishes a fixed price list (free check-up and consultation; cleaning 1,200-2,500 Baht; fillings from 1,000 Baht per surface; crowns from 11,000 Baht; implants with crown from 44,000 Baht; X-rays from 250 Baht), so the X-ray price is now recorded as published and the other prices rest on that page. |
