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) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Dedicated sedation dentistry page explicitly documents general anaesthesia (patient unconscious) alongside conscious sedation option. [sno-clinics-abu-dhabi-sedation]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-05: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2025-01-06 to 2026-10-01; 4.3 from 281): recurring complaints true; suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's website HTML on 2026-10-02: structured data: present. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.3 (was 4.2) and review count 273 (was 242) from the Google listing on 2026-09-29; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-26); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-27). |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: added the clinic's own /our-team/dentists/ roster page (not previously fetched) as a specific per-doctor source naming all 5 dentists, alongside the existing generic homepage source; Dr. Torunn Dalsgard is confirmed under the site's own diacritic spelling "Tórunn Dalsgarð". |
| 2026-09-03 | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a g.co/kgs short link (https://g.co/kgs/ap9U1rh), which the browser is not permitted to open, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Snö Clinics", address "Plaza 30 - Villa 4 Miraykh St - Al Nahyan" matching this card's "Villa 4, Plaza 30, Al Nahyan", phone +971 800 239355 and website snoclinics.com. Disambiguated from the two other Snö-branded Abu Dhabi listings a Maps search returns - Snö Clinics at Beach Lamar Residence, Al Raha St (4.4/159) and Snö Wellness at Plaza 30 Villa 2A Delma St (4.6/44) - by that Al Nahyan address, which is the same address the DOH facility licence MF4817 was matched on), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.470931, 54.3851973. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.3/192 -> 4.2/242. Applied identically to the Abu Dhabi index and the imported copy in the UAE index. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic license MF4817 found via DOH Abu Dhabi facility registry, matched by address among several Sno-branded facilities. Named doctors' licences were not looked up. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Dedicated sedation dentistry page explicitly documents general anaesthesia (patient unconscious) alongside conscious sedation option. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Google rating/review count could not be independently reconfirmed via an accepted source today; prior stored value of 4.3/192 left unchanged. |
| 2026-07-12 | Initial data collection. |
