Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked on 2026-09-30 against WhatClinic and Dental Departures: no profile on either, so it is now recorded as absent; the earlier value had no platform behind it. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and re-read the clinic's website: no TripAdvisor listing and no TripAdvisor link on the site. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.6 (was 4.7) and review count 40 (was 38) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's services page, homepage and Google listing. Recorded: a named prosthodontics specialist; CBCT and X-ray imaging; no price list anywhere on the site; no WhatsApp/LINE; detailed service explanations; hours to 19:30 on Monday; Facebook presence; no structured data and no dedicated service pages (all services are sections of one page). Google rating 4.7 from 38 reviews, newest review 2026-07-16, no recurring complaints or manipulation signs found. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection for the Slovenia Dental Transparency & Trust Index: verified via ludvigdental.si and Google Maps. No individual dentist names are published on the site, and a registry search for the practice name "Ludvig" found no Celje-based match, so no dentist could be safely attributed. No clinic-scope Slovenian registry exists to check the clinic itself. |
