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 Smile Pattaya is a private dental clinic on Pattaya 3rd Road near South Pattaya, in operation since 2007 and relocated to a new office in April 2025. The website names nine dentists with their specializations, including a prosthodontist/implant dentist, an orthodontist, a periodontist, and an endodontist, and publishes a detailed THB price list. The clinic targets international patients, advertises English-speaking staff, and promotes All-on-4 implant treatment and 3D CT imaging.
The live website could not be reached from the research network (connection refused/timeout), so site content was verified via Internet Archive snapshots (homepage Mar 2026, contact page Jan 2026, price page Nov 2024, staff page Jul 2024) and Google search snippets of the live site. Footer address differs between archived pages: homepage (Mar 2026) shows 313/5 Pattaya 3rd Rd while contact and staff pages show 313/42-43 Pattaya 3rd Rd; the clinic moved offices in April 2025 and some pages appear not updated. The current site claims a 4.9/5 rating from 466 patient reviews (2026), while self-published schema.org markup on archived pages declares 4.8 from 90 reviews; neither figure could be independently verified on Google Maps. An archived map page links to the pre-2025 office location, so no current coordinates are recorded. Opening hours are not published.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).

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: 20103000668 (กรมสนับสนุนบริการสุขภาพ / Department of Health Service Support, Ministry of Public Health — private clinic establishment license, valid to 31 December 2034) (RE-ADJUDICATED 2026-08-25 (quarantine review): the earlier verified-false is OVERTURNED. The earlier pass — and the adversarial spot-check that re-confirmed it — both tried the Thai transliteration 'เดนทัลสไมล์' (no ไม้ไต่คู้), which returns 12 rows, none in Chonburi. The clinic's own Facebook page (facebook.com/dentalsmilepattaya, linked from its website) is titled 'Dental Smile Pattaya เด็นทัลสไมล์พัทยา', i.e. the clinic spells itself 'เด็นทัลสไมล์' WITH ไม้ไต่คู้ (เด็น-, not เดน-). Searching that exact string in the MOPH private-facility registry today returns 2 rows, the second of which is this clinic: 'คลินิกทันตกรรมเด็นทัลสไมล์สายสาม', เลขที่ 313/5 หมู่ 10 ตำบลหนองปรือ อำเภอบางละมุง จังหวัดชลบุรี, เลขที่ใบอนุญาตประกอบกิจการ 20103000668, ใช้ได้ถึงวันที่ 31 ธันวาคม 2577 (31 Dec 2034). Matched by exact house number (313/5) and by the branch qualifier 'สายสาม' = Pattaya 3rd Road, which is this record's stored address '313/5 Pattaya 3rd Road, near South Pattaya, Banglamung, Chonburi' and matches the clinic's own Google Maps listing title 'Dental Smile Pattaya - 3rd road dentists'. Cross-checked by license-number search (type=เลขที่ใบอนุญาต, keyword 20103000668), which returns the same single row. Thai variants tried today: เด็นทัลสไมล์ (HIT), เดนทัลสไมล์, เด็นทอลสไมล์, เดนทอลสไมล์. The clinic's own website still publishes no license number — absence there is not evidence of absence in the register.) [dental-smile-pattaya-lic] [s6] [s5]

Red Flags
- low Contradictory public information (-1 pts) — Own-site address inconsistency after the April 2025 relocation: homepage (archived Mar 2026) lists 313/5 Pattaya 3rd Rd while contact and staff pages (archived Jan 2026 / Jul 2024) list 313/42-43 Pattaya 3rd Rd; the archived map page still points to the pre-move location. [s1] [s2] [s4]
Red-flag penalty applied: -1 points (capped at -20).
