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.
- ? General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — Not verified No sedation info found; site focuses on smile design, implants, CEREC

Licensing & Credentials
Whether the clinic publishes its operating licence and the dentists working there together with their professional licence numbers. A verified “not published” is recorded as a red flag; data we have not checked yet is shown as unverified and carries no penalty.
Clinic operating licence: 080010280001 (REPS Habilitación de Prestadores de Salud, Colombia — Prolíficos S.A.S, sede CARLOS ACEVEDO ODONTOLOGIA) (REPS open dataset. Searched nombresede like 'ACEVEDO' filtered to Barranquilla. Matched sede 'CARLOS ACEVEDO ODONTOLOGIA' under prestador PROLIFICOS S.A.S, prestador address Calle 106 50-67 Local 405 — exact match to clinic address; the sede's own registered address (Calle 98 #51B-76) differs, suggesting REPS has not yet been updated for a location move, but the prestador identity match is unambiguous (matching email/phone).)
