General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

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

Price Transparency
Whether patients can estimate costs before visiting. Published price ranges count; exact prices are not required.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: WhatClinic profile of the same orthodontist's practice, as on the Rio de Janeiro site; the datum previously rested on the clinic's own site. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: MAJOR CHANGE — the clinic has relocated. The official site (gustavobastos.com.br) now shows the Rio de Janeiro unit in Leblon at Avenida Ataulfo de Paiva, 391/704 (not the stored Visconde de Pirajá 407, Ipanema address), with a new phone +55 21 98810-2383, confirmed by the matching Google Maps listing "Gustavo Bastos Odontologia - RJ". The stored second unit (Face Dental, Barra da Tijuca) has been replaced by a São Paulo unit in Itaim (Rua Jerônimo da Veiga, 45/11). Google rating essentially unchanged (5.0 vs stored 5) with review count up from 180 to 188. Captured Maps place URL and pin coordinates for the Leblon (RJ) location. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site is reachable (HTTP responds) but renders almost entirely client-side via JavaScript, so name/address/phone could not be independently re-read from the page content — left unchanged rather than claiming confirmation. No Google Maps link was present in the fetched markup. Google Maps itself did not return readable content, so rating/review count also left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against CNES: zero results for Gustavo Bastos Odontologia under 2 name variants in Rio de Janeiro state, and the clinic's own site shows no clinic-level number, so clinicLicense is marked false. |
