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
Dental clinic inside the Dukley Gardens resort in Budva, managed by periodontology specialist Dr Tihomir Jović (UCLA-trained) alongside Dr Nikola Bogdanović. Publishes an English site version and a price-list page, offers pediatric care, and appears in organic search results for dental-implant queries.
Both named dentists are registered with SKCG under "Stomatološka ordinacija/PZU 'Dens'" in Cetinje rather than under Dukley Dental Clinic itself - the name/specialization match to the clinic's own team page is strong, but the registry's official home institution differs from where they currently practise day-to-day.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no owner replies found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's full price list (9 categories) and homepage. Recorded: a complete published price list with cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices; 3D (cone-beam) imaging and same-day first-aid care both priced and offered; a linked Facebook page. No structured business data (JSON-LD/microdata) found on the site. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked the WhatClinic directory for Montenegro and the clinic's own website: neither shows a review-platform presence. Recorded: not present on other review platforms. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.5 (was 4.4) and review count 23 (was 21) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google listing. The clinic's own website (dukleydentalclinic.com) could not be opened today - every attempt returned a security-check page, and no archived copy was available either - so its price list, equipment and structured-data pages could not be read this time. Recorded from the listing: a genuine branded building photo; opening hours are weekdays only, closing at 4 PM, so hours are not classed as convenient; no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: prices, CBCT, emergency care and structured data, all of which depend on the website; whether the clinic replies to reviews or has recurring complaints (the 13.6% low-star share is unread); Facebook and other review-platform presence. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial data collection: website, Google Maps listing and SKCG licence registry cross-checked; noted that both named doctors' registry home institution is "Dens" (Cetinje) rather than Dukley itself. |
