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 No sedation/GA info found on clinic site; site-wide search turned up nothing.

Reputation & Reviews

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 sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-10-02 | Google indexing quality changed from poor to partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-02 (own site not listed, though indexed). |
| 2026-10-01 | Other platforms set to yes: DabaDoc lists two dentists, Dr. Hamid Benkacem and Dr. Ahlam Bouzoubaa, at Marrakech Smile's address and number (checked 2026-10-01). |
| 2026-09-30 | The site's "follow us on Facebook" link leads nowhere on all 39 pages. A direct Facebook search found the page of Dr. Ahlam Bouzoubaa, one of the clinic's dentists (reviews on the clinic's Google listing name her), named after the clinic and checking in at it. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24/25: the clinic's website (the home page shows a renovation notice, but the service, clinic, testimonial and advice pages listed in its site map are still online) and its Google listing. Recorded: the clinic page names Dr Hamid Benkacem with his specialisation; service pages explain implantology, oral surgery, orthodontics (Invisalign), endodontics and other treatments; the clinic's reply to a review confirms X-rays are taken on site; Saturday hours on the Google profile; no English version, WhatsApp contact or structured data; not listed on WhatClinic or TripAdvisor. Corrected: dentists, specialisations, a service list and dedicated service pages are published; the site's 'Follow us on Facebook' link has no target, so the earlier Facebook finding is withdrawn. Google 4.6 from 225 reviews, newest 2026-09-23, owner replying with clinical detail. Still unverified: Facebook presence and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Google Maps now shows this listing as "Temporarily closed" (not permanently closed) — recorded as an operating-status change. Website (marrakechsmile.com, redirecting to its own index.php) is still live but displays a "site under renovation" banner; address and phone unchanged. Captured Google rating 4.6 and 216 reviews (previously unset). |
