Anestesia general y sedación profunda
Si la clínica documenta tratamientos bajo anestesia general o sedación profunda / crepuscular — la «odontología del sueño», en la que el paciente duerme y no percibe nada (no siente, ve ni oye el procedimiento). La sedación consciente ordinaria, en la que el paciente permanece despierto y receptivo, no cuenta aquí. Es información orientativa y no afecta a la puntuación de transparencia.
- ✗ Anestesia general / sedación profunda (odontología del sueño) — Sin anestesia general ni sedación profunda documentada No sedation, general anaesthesia or nitrous oxide anywhere on the thirteen pages read or in the AI file, including the surgical and implant pages [st-prices] [st-llms]
Resumen
Clínica bilingüe en la Ave. Negrete, en Zona Centro, a unos diez minutos en auto del cruce de San Ysidro, orientada a pacientes que viajan desde San Diego y el resto de Estados Unidos: nombra a siete dentistas con su especialidad y su cédula profesional, publica una lista de precios de referencia en dólares para siete áreas de tratamiento y factura directamente los planes PPO de Aetna y MetLife tras una valoración. También publica un archivo escrito para asistentes de IA, cuyas líneas de precios difieren en cuatro puntos de su propia página de precios.
Both language versions of the copy ship inside every page and one is hidden with CSS, so the English home page carries 38 Spanish blocks next to 38 English ones (stylesheet read 2026-10-20). The file written for AI assistants prices a deep cleaning at $100, a simple extraction from $90, an E.max crown from $550 and a composite veneer from $250, while the price page gives from $150 per quadrant, from $120, from $450 and from $220 (both read 2026-10-20). The Google listing shows Sunday closed; the site and the AI file keep Sundays for emergencies by prior appointment. The 3D CBCT scan is taken at a partner imaging laboratory, not on site.

Historial de cambios
| Fecha | Cambio |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-20 | Listed on 2026-10-20 after the clinic asked for the free check (questionnaire of 2026-10-19). Researched from the own site of the clinic in both languages (home, team, treatments and prices, insurance, dental tourism, contact and booking pages, its sitemap, its stylesheet and the file it writes for AI assistants), its Google listing read in three review sorts, its WhatClinic and Dental Departures profiles, a TripAdvisor search, the CLUES catalogue of Mexican health establishments and the SEP professional-licence register. Visibility is taken from the five canonical Tijuana queries of 2026-10-20, read once for every clinic re-read in this pass: this clinic appears in none of them, while its own site ranks for its name. Seven dentists are named with the professional licence numbers the clinic publishes itself; those numbers could not be checked against the SEP register, which did not answer today. Still unverified: response speed. |
