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
Sharm Dental Clinic is a long-established private dental practice (founded 1999) on the second floor of Mall 8 in Naama Bay. The clinic's original website domain (sharmdental-egypt.com) resolves to a Hostinger placeholder page as of 2026-08-18 and is not operational. The founding dentist, Prof. Dr. Hassan Mokhtar El Sharkawy, holds a B.D.S. from Alexandria University (1979), an M.D.S. in Oral Surgery from Alexandria (1983), and a Ph.D. in Oral Surgery from Alexandria and Louisiana State University (1989). A second practitioner, Dr. Mostafa Harbi, appears on the clinic's Instagram and Facebook accounts. The clinic offers general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, implants, root canal treatment, and oral surgery. Contact numbers circulating in directories are +20 69 360 2302 and +20 122 1206078; the social-media phone is +20 11 1576 6640.
The clinic's official website domain is non-functional as of August 2026 (Hostinger placeholder). Contact data is drawn from directory listings and social media. Opening hours conflict across sources: WhatClinic lists Tue 11:00-14:00, Wed 11:00-22:00 (Mon/Thu/Fri closed); Clinictor lists Mon-Thu 09:00-18:00, Fri 09:00-17:00, Sat 10:00-14:00. The WhatClinic hours (very limited) seem anomalous; the Clinictor schedule is more typical but could not be verified against an official source. Clinictor's dollar-denominated price figures ($11,650-$20,000) appear to be auto-generated data artefacts and were not used. A price reference from WhatClinic mentions fillings at approximately €86. No prices were published by the clinic itself.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's Instagram in full on 2026-10-01 (every post of the past 12 months and its highlight albums), together with its Facebook page: it publishes no prices and shows no CT imaging, orthodontics or emergency service. |
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's Facebook page, Instagram account and Google listing on 2026-09-30: dentist names, service list and address now rest on them, and its Facebook posts are recorded as explaining treatments in plain language. The dentists' specializations, found only in directories, are now recorded as unconfirmed. |
| 2026-09-29 | Read the clinic's Facebook page, its only public channel: about section, contact information and links. Recorded: no WhatsApp or LINE contact (phone, email and Messenger only), and booking only by direct message, with no choice of service or time. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing; its listed website domain shows only a hosting-provider placeholder page. Recorded: no prices published on any readable channel; a real treatment room in the listing's photos; an owner reply to a negative review; hours to 10 PM on two weekdays; not listed on TripAdvisor. Corrected: recurring complaints, previously recorded as none on the basis of two third-party reviews, now reflect two Google reviews (2025-12 and 2026-06) describing restorations left painful or sensitive. Still unverified: equipment, orthodontics, emergency care, WhatsApp and online booking, which the clinic's Facebook page may show but which could not be read. |
| 2026-09-07 | Doctor licence data-standard normalisation: license:false -> null for Prof. Dr. Hassan Mokhtar El Sharkawy, Dr. Mostafa Harbi (no negative register/professional-body evidence naming them specifically was on file; the false value predates the methodology's null=unknown / false=documented-negative convention). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: address unchanged (Mall 8, 2nd floor, Naama Bay). Recorded phone +201115766640 from the Google Maps listing (the record on file had none). The Maps listing also shows a website, sharmdental-egypt.com, but fetching it today returned only a default Hostinger "You Are All Set to Go!" placeholder page with no clinic content, so it was NOT recorded as a live website. Captured Google rating 4.3 (34 reviews), place URL, and coordinates for the first time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Licensing red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials re-based on the recorded source check: the underlying licensing data now carries a verified "not published" (false) and the manual flag is replaced by the auto-derived one. See methodology v1.3.0. |
