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.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Deepen 2026-08-26: own website (malis-dental.com) is under construction / down again, so could not confirm current branch list from the primary source. Google Maps today resolves 'Malis Dental Clinic' to a single active listing at Exchange Square (Street 106), phone +855 89 899 015, rating 4.6 (96 reviews) - address/phone fields updated to this live listing. NOTE: this conflicts with the previously-stored Phnom Penh Tower address/phone (+855 12 513 222), which is still shown today by the directory cambodiayp.com (uncited source s2) - left s2 unresolved (neither cited nor pruned) since it may reflect a real second branch or simply a stale directory entry; flagging for a future visit to confirm via the clinic's own site once it is back online. Added expatlifecambodia.com and thewellfrog.com as independent external sources (Japanese-managed clinic, established standards) beyond Google Maps. Visibility scout: not present in top results for any of the 5 queries. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dental Council of Cambodia (DCC) public dentist registry: doctor Motomi Minemura not found under either name-part search (Minemura, Motomi); recorded null due to transliteration ambiguity, not verified false. |
