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
Asunción branch of a two-site dental and facial-aesthetics group that also operates in Ciudad del Este. The Villa Aurelia practice publishes opening hours of 08:00-19:00 and a single contact number. Its site lists eleven treatment areas — general dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, oral surgery, dental implants, prosthetics, endodontics, aesthetic dentistry, veneers and smile design, whitening and facial harmonisation — each with its own page. The site is a JavaScript application whose content is delivered by a client-side bundle; no dentist roster and no prices appear anywhere in it.
The Google Business listing is titled 'Dental Protection Center' while the clinic's own site and structured data say 'Protection Dental Center'; the card uses the clinic's own form, with the city appended because this is one of two branches. Address (Dr. Pedro P. Peña 7185) and phone (+595 981 600044) match between the site's schema.org department block, the site's own Asunción branch page and the Google place record. An older domain, protectiondentalcenter.net, no longer completes a TLS handshake (checked 2026-09-10) and was not used as a source.

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.

[s5] | 2/2 |
| ✓ | No recurring complaints no complaint theme in the reviews shown; the histogram is 4/0/2/4/215 across 225 reviews [s5] | 2/2 |

| 2026-09-10 | Recency re-derived under the rule that only starred, reviewer-linked records count: the three-week age first recorded belonged to the clinic's reply, not to a review. The enum value is unchanged. |
| 2026-09-10 | Adversarial verification: Saturday opening found on the clinic's own Business Profile (convenientHours corrected from false), reputation block filled from the live place page. |
| 2026-09-10 | Card created from the clinic's own site bundle and structured data plus a live Google place record; Paraguay publishes no clinic-licence roster, so the licence fields stay unverified. |
