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).

Reputation & Reviews
Public review signals. The Google rating is adjusted with a Bayesian prior (rating 4.0, weight 25) so a 5.0 from a handful of reviews does not outrank a 4.8 from hundreds.

| ? | Clinic responds to reviews 12 reviews were read (8 from the last 24 months) and none has an owner reply, but fewer than 10 reviews from the last 24 months could be read, too few to record that the owner does not reply. [wilson-schillerstrasse-r6rep] | 0/2 |
| ✗ | No recurring complaints Of 49 Google reviews, 13 are one- or two-star (27 %); three of the five lowest-rated (2017-2026) describe poor communication from the practice: a rude first call, a patient blocked after seeking second opinions, promised callbacks never made (read 2026-10-02).
