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 Lists oral surgery/implantology; no sedation or anaesthesia info found.
Summary
Clínica Médico Dentária Peter Nielsen Lda is an established dental clinic near Fórum Algarve shopping centre in Faro, operated by Dr. Peter Nielsen, a PhD-qualified dentist trained at the University of Copenhagen who also taught at the university. The clinic emphasises preventive dentistry in line with Scandinavian principles and uses digital X-ray and an air-abrasion system as alternatives to traditional drilling. Services include preventive dentistry, aesthetic medicine, periodontology, oral surgery, implantology, and orthodontics. English is the working language with the principal clinician. The clinic is listed on LinkedIn and in the Algarve Portal expat directory. Its team page gives the dentists' OMD numbers; no ERS number is published.
Two addresses appear in sources: 'Praceta Agostinho Ferreira Chaves 5b' (official website, GPS confirmed) and 'Urbanização Horta das Figuras Lote 33-lj Z, São Pedro, 8005-328 Faro' (clinicasdentarias.net directory). These likely refer to the same location approached from different sides, or one is outdated — the official website address is used. Mobile +351 965 528 383 also serves as WhatsApp. DocDental mirror shows 4.8/17 Google reviews. The clinic's team page also names the orthodontists Dr André Pires Antunes and Dra Helena Margarida dos Santos.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website in full on 2026-09-30: English website version corrected to absent, as every page is in Portuguese (the earlier value rested on a directory listing); the two further dentists and the OMD numbers on the clinic's team page are now reflected in the summary and notes. |
| 2026-09-30 | The clinic's site (home, about and team pages) links LinkedIn and WhatsApp but no Facebook page. Searched Facebook by the clinic's name, its trading name and its phone number; none of the searches found a page. Recorded absence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-06-23). |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's full itemised price list, treatments overview, about and team pages, and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine storefront photo; a detailed published price list covering cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants, X-ray and CBCT, an emergency consultation, and pediatric items; CBCT and same-day emergency care confirmed through the price list itself; no structured data and no individual service pages (one general treatments overview). Google rating steady at 4.8 from 19 reviews; no owner replies found among the reviews read. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, a Facebook page, whether the clinic responds to reviews beyond the sample read. Corrected: the published price list (first consultation 80 EUR) contradicts the earlier no-price-list record. |
| 2026-08-26 | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s2 [http://www.algarve-portal.com/detail.php?p=30&id=43]: http://www.algarve-portal.com/detail.php?p=30&id=43 (attempt1: HTTP 500; attempt2 (+30s): HTTP 500, other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, phone unchanged, open on Google Maps; captured full postal code 8005-328 (previously not on file); Google review count updated to 19, up from 17 (rating steady at 4.8); recorded geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against ERS: clinic ERS registration found (Registo 100842 / Licença 624, Licenciada), confirmed via matching phone/email despite an address discrepancy with the clinic's own website; Responsável Técnico Peter Aagaard Nielsen matches named doctor Dr. Peter Nielsen, confirming OMD affiliation (no Cédula number looked up). |
