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
DC Lieporiai operates from Sevastopolio g. 17 in Šiauliai and publishes an exceptionally detailed price list covering consultations, X-rays, hygiene, fillings, root canals, crowns, dentures and implant surgery (including All-on-4), alongside named specialists with detailed biographies. It was named among a "best 5" Šiauliai dental-clinic listicle. A German patient's review describes receiving emergency treatment while travelling through Lithuania. The clinic's institution licence could not be matched in the VASPVT register under its trading name; its named oral surgeon and general dentist are both confirmed current in the national dentist register.
