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.
- ✗ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — No general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented Oral surgery explicitly under local anaesthesia only [cirkonij-centar-split-sedation]

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website (all pages in Croatian, English and Italian), its Facebook page (every post of the past 12 months) and its Instagram profile on 2026-09-30: published prices and the filling, crown and implant prices corrected to not published, as the clinic's own channels give no dental treatment prices and price only facial aesthetic treatments (the earlier values rested on a directory listing). |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (team, periodontology, imaging, digital-dentistry pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: two named dentists have a stated specialization (aesthetics, oral surgery); consultation is free, no cleaning and no imaging price; no emergency service documented; Facebook page linked from the site; owner replies to reviews with no recurring-complaint or suspicious-pattern signal; individual service pages confirmed; the site's JSON-LD is generic (no business-identifying markup). Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; CBCT, since the imaging page offers a panoramic X-ray while the implant and oral-surgery pages describe reading CBCT scans; and paediatric dentistry, a category on the clinic's Google profile that its website service list does not carry. |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured genuine Google rating (4.9, 601 reviews) and compliant canonical place URL for Cirkonij Centar Split, replacing previously-noted non-Google directory estimates. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Google Maps lookups for this business returned inconsistent results across attempts (name mismatches) and were not used; no rating or geo captured this time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: cirkonijcentar.eu opened directly, live and current (active hours, blog, multi-platform social presence); name/address/phone unchanged. Google Maps was not checked on this date; no reputation values were stored or captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Oral surgery explicitly under local anaesthesia only |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against HZJZ NRPZZ (Nacionalni registar pružatelja zdravstvene zaštite): clinic license found (Cirkonij Centar D.O.O., branch at Ulica Josipa Jovića 7) in HZJZ NRPZZ; none of the five named doctors have individual private-practice registration (searches for 'Kovačić' and 'Olujić' returned only unrelated same-surname practitioners elsewhere; 'Dr. Pavić' is too ambiguous to match against 21 unrelated Pavić entries). |
