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 In-house IV sedation supervised by UK General Anaesthetist; complex/paediatric cases treated under GA in hospital via tie-ups. [dr-joy-dental-clinic-sedation] [dr-joy-dental-clinic-sedation-2]

| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility 'DR JOY DENTAL CLINIC L.L.C' at the identical Al Wasl Road villa address and email as this worklist entry; no separate numeric facility license code is published on the public page. No named doctors to verify (prior research found no individual dentist names published for this multi-branch operator). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: drjoydentalclinic.com returned HTTP 403 (Forbidden) on two attempts (with and without www), so it could not be confirmed live directly — likely bot-blocking rather than a closure, since Google Maps confirms the business open at the stored address (villa 1021, Al Wasl Rd, matching 'Villa 1021, Al Wasl Road, Jumeirah'). Phone was not re-confirmed today. Recorded Google rating 4.8 and review count 2271 (both previously unset). |
