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
Encarnación unit of Odontolatina, a Brazilian dental franchise network that has operated in Paraguay since 2012 and reports more than fifty units across Brazil and Paraguay. It is the most reviewed dental place in the city on Google, with 4.9 from 159 reviews. The clinic runs its own Facebook and Instagram pages, but the network's website returns raw server-side source instead of a page, so nothing about services, staff, hours or prices could be read from a channel of the clinic's own.
The ortoplan.com domain formerly cited for this clinic is misconfigured and returns a raw PHP bootstrap file rather than HTML. The network’s working Paraguayan site is odontolatina.com, which lists this unit under ‘Encarnación - Alto Paraná’ with its street address and the same telephone number the clinic publishes on its own listing; that site is what the website criterion is judged on. The clinic also runs an active Facebook page of its own, which names its dentists and their specialities.

Score Breakdown
Every criterion below is scored from public sources. ✓ verified yes · ✗ verified no / not found · ◐ partial · ? unverified (scores 0, not a negative finding).
Information Transparency
Whether basic facts about the clinic - its team, premises, services, and location - are publicly verifiable.
| ✓ | Has a working website The clinic is covered by odontolatina.com, the Paraguayan website of the network it belongs to, which loads normally and carries an entry for this unit with its own street address and the same telephone number the clinic publishes on its listing. The older ortoplan.com domain remains broken and is no longer the clinic’s address on the web. [s8] | 4/4 |
| ✓ | Dentist names listed The clinic names its dentists on its own Facebook page: Dr. David Benítez, introduced in a post of 2026-09-11, and Dra. Alexandra Scholz. [s10] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Dentist specializations listed Both named dentists are published with their field: Dr. David Benítez as "especialista en Endodoncia" and Dra. Alexandra Scholz as "Clínica General y Estética Dental". [s10] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Real clinic photos The clinic publishes named portrait photographs of its two dentists on its own Facebook page. It publishes no pictures of its rooms; the rest of its album is marketing artwork. [s10] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Service list published The network site publishes a concrete list of treatments offered - orthodontics, endodontics, aesthetic dentistry, paediatric dentistry, dental sensitivity, bruxism, surgery, periodontics, implantology and prosthetics. [s9] | 3/3 |
| ✓ | Clear contact details the clinic's own Google Business listing publishes its street location, a telephone number and its opening hours [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✗ | English website version The network site is published in Spanish only; it carries no language switcher and no English pages. [s8] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | Address and map published street location published on the clinic's Google Business listing [s1] | 2/2 |
Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.
| ? | Prices or price ranges published | 0/3 |

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.
| ✓ | Google rating (Bayesian-adjusted) as of 2026-09-10 [s1] | 6/6 |
| ◐ | Google review volume as of 2026-09-10 [s1] | 2/3 |
| ✓ | Review recency newest review rendered on the clinic's own Google place page is two months old (read 2026-09-10) [s7] | 3/3 |
| ✗ | Clinic responds to reviews The clinic does not answer reviews. The listing was read twice on 2026-09-11 — the reviews panel and an automated fetch, the latter returning five of its 159 reviews, dated between 8 May 2026 and 23 July 2026 — and no record from either reading carries a reply. The listing is one the clinic controls: it carries photographs uploaded through its own Google Business account. [s7] | 0/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints no complaint theme in the reviews shown; the histogram is 2/0/0/4/153 across 159 reviews [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No suspicious review patterns the histogram carries a two-entry negative tail and a four-entry four-star band, and review ages run from two to four months; no burst pattern [s7] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | Active Facebook presence the clinic runs facebook.com/odontolatinaencarnacion [s3] | 1/1 |
| ✗ | TripAdvisor presence No TripAdvisor listing found via its search for "Odontolatina Encarnacion" and "Odontolatina" (2026-10-02); the clinic's site does not link to TripAdvisor. [odontolatina-encarnacion-deepen] [odontolatina-encarnacion-deepen-2] | 0/0.5 |

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's own website (homepage, robots.txt, sitemap and service pages) for site structure: business structured data present. |
| 2026-10-02 | Presence re-checked on 2026-10-02: no TripAdvisor listing (two searches of its index and the clinic's site). |
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Bookimed, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-11 | Browser check of the clinic’s live channels: the network site odontolatina.com was found to cover this unit with its own address and telephone, which restores the website criterion that had been judged on the broken ortoplan.com domain; two named dentists with their specialities were recorded from the clinic’s own Facebook page. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: telephone, opening hours and the whole reputation block recovered from the clinic's own Google Business listing, which the initial data collection had read only for rating and coordinates. |
| 2026-09-10 | Card created from a live Google place record and the franchise's indexed pages; the franchise website serves raw source, and the clinic's social pages need a browser, so most transparency fields are unchecked. |
