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 clinic in Golden Triangle 2, Sungai Ara (Bayan Lepas), open daily from 10am to 7pm and until 9pm on Wednesdays. Its website names three dentists, among them a specialist orthodontist, and lists scaling, extractions and wisdom tooth surgery by a visiting oral surgeon, root canal treatment, crowns and bridges, dentures, whitening, braces and clear aligners; fees are published for braces, aligners and retainers only.

Listed on 2026-10-07 at the clinic's request (e-mail of 2026-10-06 from the agency that manages its listings) and researched to the same standard as every other card. The Malaysian Dental Council register lists four practitioners at the clinic's address for 2026: two dentists with the clinic as their principal practice, and a specialist orthodontist and a specialist oral and maxillofacial surgeon who practise there in addition to a principal practice elsewhere. The oral and maxillofacial surgeon is named only in the structured data of the clinic's home page; the visible text mentions a visiting specialist without a name. The clinic's website gives a clinic registration number, 230705-04197-12, and a company name, Smile YA Dental Sdn Bhd; the Ministry of Health register of private dental clinics is not published online, so the number could not be checked. Dental implants appear among the categories of the clinic's Google listing and in the description of its home page, but not in its list of treatments. Braces is the only treatment with its own page (in English, Malay and Chinese, published on 2026-10-06).

2026-10-07Listed on 2026-10-07 at the clinic's request (e-mail of 2026-10-06 from the agency that manages its listings). Researched from the clinic's website (all six pages: home, the braces page in English, Malay and Chinese, and the two language index pages), its Google listing (rating, star histogram and 15 reviews in four orders), its Facebook page, the Malaysian Dental Council register, WhatClinic and Hotfrog. Recorded: three dentists named with their qualifications and a visiting oral and maxillofacial surgeon named in the site's structured data, all four registered at the clinic's address; ten treatments listed; a fee table for braces, clear aligners and retainers and no other fees; WhatsApp contact; open daily, until 9pm on Wednesdays; no emergency appointments, no online booking, one treatment page. Google shows 5.0 from 1,120 reviews, and the clinic replies to its reviews. The five standard visibility searches for Penang were read the same day: the clinic is in none of them, and a search for its name returns its own site first. No TripAdvisor listing was found. The review-pattern criterion is not counted either way: 1,102 of the 1,120 ratings are five stars and four of the eight five-star texts read open with the same sentence, while the reviews read are spread over three years and most reviewer accounts carry other reviews. Still unverified: cone-beam CT, work with foreign patients, and the clinic registration number and company name given on the site.
