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

|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-16). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's English site (home, implants service page, office gallery, contact page) and its Google Business Profile. Recorded: a genuine own-domain photo gallery of the office and team; no prices published for any treatment despite a detailed 3D/CBCT-planning description on the implants page; a working contact form; hours closing at 19:00 on weekdays; a current Google rating of 4.4 from 111 reviews with active, recent owner replies. Still unverified: on-site equipment beyond what was already recorded, since no dedicated equipment page was found with the pages read 2026-09-17. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: Pavel Krastev confirmed by reading the clinic's own Cyrillic site (named as founder); source added. |

Re-cited dentistNamesListed, specializationsListed, pricesPublished, hasCBCT and offersPediatric onto the clinic's own official site (s1, re-fetched live and read directly, confirms all five) and onOtherPlatforms onto the already-live WhatClinic source (s5). reputation.reviewRecency ("within_year") is SmileJet-specific (review-date metadata) with no equivalent on any other cited source - left on the dead s2 citation, unresolved. s2 therefore NOT pruned (still cited via reviewRecency). |

| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live (k-dent.eu; also lists a second branch at bul. Tsar Boris III Obedinitel 161, not part of this record), address and phone unchanged. Google Maps lists this clinic as "DENTALNA KLINIKA K DENT" (Dental Clinic K Dent) (rating 4.3, 108 reviews) but every query resolved to a multi-result list rather than a single canonical place page, so no compliant (non-search-results) source URL could be obtained — rating/review data omitted per sourcing rules rather than recorded without a valid citation. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. A second K DENT branch (bul. Tsar Boris III Obedinitel 161) is also listed on the site but does not affect this record. Google reputation could not be checked before the session's web-search budget was exhausted. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Dedicated 'General anaesthesia (full anaesthesia)' page (the site's own term): controlled sleep, no pain or memory |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: Dr. Pavel Krastev confirmed in BZS with an exact address match (LPK 160001107, Ivan Vazov St. 33, Plovdiv) — the clinic's earlier note that the BZS register 'requires interactive form submission' was incorrect; it is an open GET-form search. Clinic-level LZIBPH registration not found under 'K DENT'/'Key Dent' (in Cyrillic) or the practice street name. |
