Changelog

Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.

Date	Subject	Change
2026-10-16	Methodology v1.4.2	Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes.
2026-10-07	Methodology v1.4.1	Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes.

2026-10-01	Dentius Eilandje	Reviews on other platforms re-checked: the Dentius group, which runs this practice, has a Trustpilot page with patient reviews for its own domain, so this is now marked yes; the review page cited earlier only copied the branch's Google reviews.
2026-09-29	ALC Dental	Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-16).

2026-09-10	ALC Dental	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the doctoranytime profiles queued earlier for a browser check were opened in a real browser; the practitioner page attached to this clinic carries patient reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves from null to true.
2026-09-10	Cabinet Dentaire du Longdoz	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the Yelp page queued earlier for a browser check was read in a real browser and holds no reviews, and a doctoranytime name search returns nothing for this practice, so onOtherPlatforms becomes a checked negative. Pages d'Or, also listed on this card, still blocks the browser.
2026-09-10	Clinique Dentaire du Port des Yachts	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the Facebook page was opened logged in and its activity established - no posts at all, 18 followers, 2 reviews - so onFacebook stays true and the open question about how active the page is now has an answer on the card.
2026-09-10	Dental Treatment Center	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the Trustpilot profile queued earlier for a browser check was opened in a real browser and does carry reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves from null to true.
2026-09-10	Dentist Brussels	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the Pages d'Or profile was re-attempted in a real browser and the host blocks that too; the criterion stays null with the block on record, and a doctoranytime name search returned no profile for this practice.
2026-09-10	iDent Clinic	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the WhatClinic profile queued earlier for a browser check was opened in a real browser and carries verified patient reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves from null to true.
2026-09-10	Smiles Antwerp	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: the open question - does the group's Facebook page cover the Antwerp site, and is there a separate Antwerp page - is answered. There is no separate Antwerp page, but the Antwerp clinic's own footer links the SmilesByMaria page as its own, and that page is active and carries reviews, so onFacebook moves from null to true and the page is recorded in contacts.
2026-09-10	VIDENT Dental Clinic	Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: doctena.be did not serve its pages to a real browser across the whole host, so the queued profile could not be read and the criterion stays null; the readable doctoranytime profile for the same practice was found and carries no reviews.
2026-09-09	Cabinet dentaire Bredohl	Manual red flag aggressive_marketing (low) set at the editorial gate on the evidence the manual browser check supplied on 2026-09-08: four gambling question-and-answer blocks of the parasitic SEO injection stand in the ordinary page flow immediately above the clinic’s contact footer, so an ordinary visitor sees them. hasWebsite is deliberately left at true — the clinical content is genuine and the practice is not penalised for having been compromised.
2026-09-09	ORIS Tandartsen Gent	Editorial gate: the new-patients contradiction recorded by the verification pass on 2026-09-07 was no longer present in the rendered page on 2026-09-08 (the manual browser check). The disclosure is kept and dated rather than retired, and no manual contradictory_info flag is set — consistent with the methodology's decision that contradictions about availability are disclosed, not flagged.
2026-09-08	ALC Dental	Checked by hand in a browser: the base behind the flat 5.0 confirmed at 68 with a wholly five-star histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded; premises photography settled; a per-practitioner team page opened and the clinic found to publish a qualification and spoken languages for each named dentist.
2026-09-08	Antwerp Dental Care	Browser reputation pass: the 41-review count confirmed against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint reading (three critical accounts quoted) and manipulation reading recorded, premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	Arts Loi Dental Clinic	Checked by hand in a browser: the 17-review count confirmed against the histogram; recency recorded as older on a complete eight-review sample; the profile found to be unclaimed, which explains the absence of owner replies and of owner photography; three one-star accounts read and found to share no theme.
2026-09-08	Cabinet dentaire Bredohl	Checked by hand in a browser: review count established at 109 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled, the published week read and Saturday opening found; and the home page rendered to establish that the injected gambling text is visible to an ordinary visitor rather than hidden.
2026-09-08	Cabinet Dentaire du Longdoz	Browser reputation pass: review count established at 127 against the histogram, recency and owner-reply state recorded; recurring complaints withheld as null because 30.7 per cent of the base is one- or two-star and no theme repeats in the visible sample.
2026-09-08	Cabinet dentaire Paros	Browser reputation pass: review count established at 28 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled; the published Saturday opening the card already credited confirmed on the live record.
2026-09-08	Centre Dentaire des Guillemins	Checked by hand in a browser: the 75-review count confirmed against the histogram; recurring complaints recorded true on two unanswered one-star accounts sharing the theme of patients unable to obtain an appointment, including in pain; the published opening week read and the hours criterion settled; and the absence of a website link on the Business Profile confirmed live, without disturbing the criterion, which rests on the practice's own site.
2026-09-08	Centre Médico-Dentaire de Liège	Browser reputation pass: the three name variants re-confirmed as one place record, review count established at 52 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled, and the absence of any published opening hours confirmed on both of the clinic's channels.
2026-09-08	Clinique Dentaire du Port des Yachts	Browser reputation pass on the cohort's lowest-rated card: review count established at 32 against a strictly two-valued histogram, recency recorded, the profile found to be unclaimed (which explains the absent owner replies), and recurring complaints withheld as null because 37.5 per cent of the base is one-star and no theme repeats in the visible sample.
2026-09-08	Dental Treatment Center	Browser reputation pass: place page opened, rating re-verified, review count established at 142 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled, and the full published opening week read.
2026-09-08	Dentist Brussels	Browser reputation pass: place page opened, review count established at 145 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	Dentius Eilandje	Checked by hand in a browser: review count established at 49 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled; the branch's own place record confirmed to publish Entrepotkaai 3, the address the card and the branch page carry.
2026-09-08	Dentius Gent-West	Browser reputation pass: review count established at 37 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint reading (three one-star accounts quoted, no shared theme) and manipulation reading recorded, premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	Dentology	Browser reputation pass: the 35-review count confirmed against the histogram; recurring complaints recorded true on two unanswered one-star accounts sharing the theme of work that had to be redone at the patient's expense; owner-reply state recorded false; premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	Diamant Dental	Browser reputation pass: the 163-review count confirmed against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded; the place page's photography could not be rendered and stays null; a discrepancy between the clinic's site hours and its Google hours recorded without crediting the more favourable one.
2026-09-08	DS DENT	Browser reputation pass: the 40-review count and the 4.9 average reconciled against the histogram as the open question asked, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded.
2026-09-08	iDent Clinic	Checked by hand in a browser: the 198-review count confirmed against the histogram; recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded; premises photography settled from the profile's own lead image; the published week read and full Saturday opening found.
2026-09-08	Mondzorg Noord & Zuid	Browser reputation pass on the Zuid site only: review count established at 101 against the histogram, recency recorded, the profile found to be unclaimed (which explains the absent owner replies and rules its imagery out as clinic publication), and recurring complaints recorded true on two accounts sharing the theme of front-desk handling of patients and appointments.
2026-09-08	ORIS Tandartsen Gent	Checked by hand in a browser: the 16-review count confirmed against the histogram; recurring complaints recorded true on two unanswered one-star accounts that both name rude staff; owner-reply state recorded false; premises photography settled; the place record confirmed to publish no opening hours; and the contact page re-read, where the self-contradiction about new patients no longer appears.
2026-09-08	Smiles Antwerp	Checked by hand in a browser: review count established at 108 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded, premises photography settled; the rendered site found to carry neither the placeholder Latin nor either of the two contradictory hours blocks, leaving the Google record — with no Saturday and Monday closed — as the only published hours, so the convenient-hours criterion is revised down; the team page re-confirmed in a browser to name nobody, with the name value left standing on the home and new-patient pages.
2026-09-08	Tandheelkunde Gent	Browser reputation pass: the 25-review count confirmed against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded; the published opening week read on the Google record and the hours criterion settled as a checked negative.
2026-09-08	Tandheelkundig Centrum Gent	Browser reputation pass on the cohort's largest and lowest-rated base: the 212-review count confirmed against the histogram, recency and owner-reply state recorded, recurring complaints recorded true on two unanswered accounts sharing the theme of appointment scheduling and administration, and premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	VIDENT Dental Clinic	Browser reputation pass: place page opened, review count established at 219 against the histogram, recency, owner-reply state, complaint reading (two critical accounts quoted) and manipulation reading recorded, premises photography settled.
2026-09-08	Winston Dental Clinic	Checked by hand in a browser: the Google rating corrected from 4.9 to a live 4.8 reconciled against the histogram, the count updated to 47, recency, owner-reply state, complaint and manipulation readings recorded with the eleven-month review cluster disclosed, premises photography settled, and the published week — including Sunday opening — read.

2026-09-07	Clinique Dentaire du Port des Yachts	Adversarial verification: the register record for Fabienne Halbrecq was re-read to the end and does hold this clinic as a further work address, so the disclosure that it did not was withdrawn; the two further dentists the clinic names on its own home page were added to the licensing table, each with the register's disagreement on their work address recorded.

2026-09-07	Dentius Eilandje	Adversarial verification: the other-platform profile was re-read and turned out to hold no reviews of its own, only a copy of the Google base, so the field became a checked negative; the number of dentists the register places at this address corrected from three to four.

2026-09-07	Methodology v1.4.0	Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list.
2026-09-07	Mondzorg Noord & Zuid	Initial data collection (Belgium): the clinic's whole one-page site read live, including its fourteen-item fee table; Google Maps place record for the Franklin Rooseveltlaan site read live for rating, address, telephone, categories and coordinates; three named practitioners matched in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register by name, two of them with work addresses that disagree with the clinic's own attribution - recorded in the licensing block; three canonical visibility queries taken from the central capture of 2026-09-07, the implants query set aside as off-target and the expats query not run for this city.

2026-09-07	Mondzorg Noord & Zuid	Adversarial verification: the register record for Antonio Escolano Palacios was re-read to the end and does list this practice as a further work address, so the disclosure that it did not was withdrawn.

Prices left unresolved because the per-practitioner tariff views render in JavaScript; that and the reputation block are queued for a manual browser check.
2026-09-07	Tandheelkundig Centrum Gent	Adversarial verification: the whole price block was re-opened. The per-practitioner tariff control turned out to be a static PDF link rather than a JavaScript view, so the seven price fields moved off null onto evidence - four true, three checked negative. The visibility query for implants was re-run with a country qualifier and resolved to a checked negative. The founder's convention disagreement between the clinic and the register was re-confirmed live in both directions.
2026-09-07	VIDENT Dental Clinic	Initial data collection (Belgium): home, about, contact and implant-cost pages read live; Google Maps place record read live for rating, address, telephone, categories and coordinates; two dentists matched in the RIZIV/INAMI provider register, one by name and one by the number the clinic publishes itself, with the register's disagreement on her qualification and work address recorded in the licensing block; four canonical visibility queries taken from the central capture of 2026-09-07, the fifth not run for this city.

2026-09-03	Methodology v1.3.1	Clarified that the publication criteria refer to the clinic’s own channels: a service list, the names of the dentists and a price list count when the clinic itself publishes them (its website, its social profiles or its own Google Business profile) — registers, directories and review sites do not, and a time-limited promotional offer is not a price list. Added a third state for a dentist’s licence, "checked, not found in the public register": a dentist we searched for in the national register and did not find is now recorded as checked-but-unverified with the date of the check, instead of being shown either as "not checked yet" or as the "not published" red flag. Neither change alters any weight or penalty; the red-flag rule still fires only on a verified negative. Also corrected the wording of the penalty note under the ranking table, which rendered as "20−" in right-to-left dictionaries.
2026-08-25	Methodology v1.3.0	Corrected how the two licensing red flags are applied ("Clinic operating licence not published" and "Dentists / their licences not listed"). Previously they were applied whenever licensing data was absent from our records, which treated unchecked data as a negative finding — contrary to the methodology's own rule that unverified data is a fact about our coverage, not about the clinic. Both flags now apply only where we have verified that the information is not published. Manual licensing flags that rested on unverified data were removed from the affected clinics. No other scoring rules changed; most scores rise because the incorrect penalty is removed.
2026-08-23	Methodology v1.2.0	Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score.
2026-07-08	Methodology v1.1.0	Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section.
2026-07-03	Methodology v1.0.0	Initial public methodology.
