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) — Not verified Own site only mentions comfortable numbing (local); affiliated dr-rolandzhuka.com page snippet mentions 'conscious sedation or total...' but page returned 403 and could not be verified.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Viewed the clinic's photo gallery on 2026-10-01: it shows a panoramic X-ray unit in the clinic's own imaging room, so on-site X-ray is recorded; cone-beam CT is still not stated in words and stays unrecorded. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. The oral-surgery page mentions digital imaging and 3D scanning for surgical planning without naming CBCT or cone-beam equipment, so X-ray and CBCT are left unrecorded. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-28); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-28). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (main clinic page, dedicated implant and crown pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no price figures found for any procedure despite dedicated treatment pages; emergency dental service listed as a Google Business Profile category; no pediatric dentistry documented; online/WhatsApp appointment requests; Google 4.9 from 541 reviews, newest dated 2026-06-11, with no recurring complaints or manipulation signs; open until 8PM most weekdays and on Saturday. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and X-ray/CBCT equipment. |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against QKB Regjistri Tregtar and USSH Regjistri i Stomatologeve: clinic found registered as Implantus (NIPT M41310038B, sole admin Roland Zhuka, matching the named doctor); Roland Zhuka's USSH dentist license has expired (7/14/2025), no renewal shown. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (implantus.al), address unchanged, business open; own site lists two phone lines and both the stored +355 69 70 44 409 and the Google listing's +355 69 44 44 016 appear there, so no phone correction made; captured first Google rating 4.9 (530 reviews), place URL and coordinates. Note: a second Google listing 'Dr. Roland Zhuka | Dentisti in Albania' (4.9, 393 reviews, same address) exists for the same doctor/practice under a different site domain (dr-rolandzhuka.com) — the implantus.al-linked listing was used as primary. |
