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. |

| 2026-10-02 | Thomas Dental Centre | Read the clinic's website HTML on 2026-10-02: structured data: present. |
| 2026-10-01 | Al Ain Advanced Dental Centre | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Practo, HeliumDoc or Doctify (its 2GIS listing does not accept reviews); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: a Doctify page under the clinic's name could not be opened, and no profile was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Practo or HeliumDoc; the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to not established. |
| 2026-10-01 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Found and read the clinic's Instagram account in full for the past year on 2026-10-01: like its Facebook page, it carries only time-limited offers, no standing price; recorded from its own posts that it offers orthodontics, emergency care, extractions and children's care. |
| 2026-10-01 | Al Jazeerah Dental Clinic | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: a Hospital Examiner page of the clinic (no reviews yet); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform. |
| 2026-10-01 | Al Naqeeb Dental Surgery Center | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Practo, HeliumDoc, Doctify or Trustpilot; the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |

| 2026-10-01 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Read the clinic's Instagram and both of its Facebook pages in full for the past year (read 2026-09-30): none publishes a dental price, nor does its Google listing. |
| 2026-10-01 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Practo, HeliumDoc or Doctify (its 2GIS listing does not accept reviews); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Bright Dental Clinic | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: a Hospital Examiner page of the clinic (no reviews yet); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform. |

| 2026-10-01 | NOA Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's website (JLT branch, team, treatment, cost, dental tourism and contact pages), its Google listing, its WhatClinic profile, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: genuine clinic photos, an on-site OPG X-ray machine, CBCT scans taken at a nearby diagnostic centre on prescription rather than in the clinic, free video consultations and treatment plans for patients abroad, plain-language treatment explanations, structured data, a Facebook page, a WhatClinic rating of 4.6 from 13 verified reviews, no TripAdvisor listing, and no recurring complaints. Corrected: prices are now recorded as published — scale and polish from AED 500, fillings from AED 550, a single implant with crown from AED 4,500–8,500, root canals from AED 1,600 — and the first consultation is free; crown and X-ray prices are still not published. Google 4.9 from 149 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-30, with owner replies. Still open: whether the review history shows signs of manipulation. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 2 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Oris Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's website (Jumeirah branch, team, services, treatment, medical tourism, insurance and contact pages, the Arabic version and the blog), its Google listing, its Yello profile, a TripAdvisor search and the Dubai Health Authority register. Recorded: genuine clinic photos, digital X-rays and CBCT imaging, treatment plans with estimated costs for patients who send their X-rays in advance, step-by-step treatment explanations, structured data, a Facebook page, a Yello profile, no TripAdvisor listing, and the clinic e-mail. Confirmed that no price list and no consultation fee are published (a free consultation appears only in one article on braces and aligners). Corrected: the clinic is no longer recorded as answering reviews: it replies to recent five-star reviews, but none of the three one-star reviews of the past year has a reply. Google 4.9 from 309 reviews, newest dated 2026-08-29. Still open: whether the clinic is reviewed on another platform (a Yello UAE profile has no reviews; no WhatClinic or TripAdvisor listing; Practo not readable); whether the reviews show a recurring complaint or signs of manipulation. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-10-01 | Rose Dental Center | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: a Hospital Examiner page of the clinic (no reviews yet); the Zavis page cited before only repeats Google data and is not a review platform. |
| 2026-10-01 | Sky Clinic Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-10-01: the clinic's full website (home, team, services and every service page, implant guide, contact, terms and 360-degree tour), its Google listing, its Facebook page, TripAdvisor, and the Dubai Health Authority register for the clinic and its dentists. Recorded: X-rays and CBCT scans documented; Dentist structured data with the clinic's address and phone; step-by-step service explanations; a booking form with a choice of treatment; Facebook page active in 2026; not listed on TripAdvisor; no recurring complaint and no signs of review manipulation (22 of 790 ratings are one or two stars); Google 4.9 from 790 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-29; DHA licence numbers for four listed dentists. Corrected: the clinic's FAQ states that consultations are free (previously recorded as no consultation price); the MOH number on the website is now FVB573LK (previously GEQDCZ5H). Still unverified: whether treatment under deep sedation or general anaesthesia is offered (the site mentions only laughing gas and unspecified sedation). Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-01 with the five canonical Dubai queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 1 of the five. |
| 2026-09-30 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Facebook page (contact section and every post of the past year) and Google listing: dentist names and specializations corrected to listed (Dr Mansour, a general dentist and dental surgeon with over 25 years of experience), WhatsApp corrected to available, and the service list recorded from its Facebook posts; no website, the contacts and the absence of a price list now rest on its own channels, the only figure being a one-week whitening offer. |
| 2026-09-30 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Google listing, its two Facebook pages and its Instagram profile: dentist names corrected to listed (its Instagram tags two of its dentists) and the service list recorded from its Google listing; dentist specializations, published prices and the six treatment prices are now unverified, as the earlier values rested on a directory listing and its active Instagram cannot be read in full; no website and the contacts now rest on its own channels. |
| 2026-09-30 | Bright Dental Clinic | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages), Facebook page (contact section and every post of the past year), Instagram profile and Google listing: the cleaning price is now unverified, as the clinic advertises time-limited cleaning offers whose figures are not all readable; real clinic photos recorded from its Facebook posts; contacts and the absence of filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now rest on its own channels. |
| 2026-09-30 | Bright Dental Clinic | Read the clinic's Instagram in full on 2026-09-30 (every post and highlight story of the past 12 months): like its website and Facebook page, it publishes no standing cleaning price, only time-limited offers; recorded that it takes X-rays and treats children. |
| 2026-09-29 | Ajman University Dental Clinics | Corrected 2026-09-29: no owner replies to reviews: the Google listing is unclaimed. |
| 2026-09-29 | Al Ain Advanced Dental Centre | Corrected 2026-09-29: the clinic's website address (alainadvanced.ae) no longer opens — the domain was not found in a DNS lookup — so it was removed from the contact details and the clinic is recorded as having no working website. Website features (English version, structured data, service pages) are recorded as absent; the entries that rested only on that website (dentist names and specialisations, photos, service list, contact details, prices) are now unverified; the address and map rest on the clinic's Google listing. |

Recorded: implant price ranges (single implant AED 4,500-9,000), digital X-rays and CBCT, emergency priority booking, remote treatment plans for visiting patients, genuine clinic photos, structured data, owner replies to reviews, no recurring complaints, Facebook and Practo presence, Google 4.8 from 157 reviews with the newest dated 2026-08-25. Corrected: implant price is published (was recorded as not published); no general price list and no standing consultation fee are published (the implant table covers one treatment family, and the free consultations are offers for travelling patients and orthodontics); no cleaning fee of the clinic's own is published today (the earlier figure is no longer on the site); the clinic is closed on Sundays (previously recorded as open). Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and the content of the one-star reviews (148 five-star and 9 one-star ratings, none in between). |

| 2026-09-10 | Al Naqeeb Dental Surgery Center | All 4 dentists (Al Dayri, Nadeen Al Naqeeb, Ajay Panicker, Basil Al Naqeeb) confirmed via the clinic's own 'our team' page, hosted on Google Sites and linked from the clinic's main site navigation — treated as own-site roster per the card's source note, not as a third-party aggregator. |
| 2026-09-10 | Ebtesama Clinic Dental Surgery | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: the site is Arabic-only (silent-script vs the card's Latin-transliterated doctor name), but the site's own Arabic body copy names and titles Dr. Amal Al-Quwaider directly (as "al-Duktura Amal al-Quwaider") in two separate places, strengthening the existing generic homepage citation with a specific quoted match. |
| 2026-09-10 | Snö Clinics (Abu Dhabi) | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: added the clinic's own /our-team/dentists/ roster page (not previously fetched) as a specific per-doctor source naming all 5 dentists, alongside the existing generic homepage source; Dr. Torunn Dalsgard is confirmed under the site's own diacritic spelling "Tórunn Dalsgarð". |
| 2026-09-09 | Alnoor Medical Center | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The practice's technology page names conscious sedation, which leaves the patient awake; nothing published documents general anaesthesia or deep sedation. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 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. |

| 2026-09-03 | 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 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (bayavenuedentalcentre.com), address unchanged, business open. Google rating unchanged at 4.8; recorded review count 156 (previously unset). Note: Google's listed primary contact is a mobile number (+971 55 146 5512); the previously stored landline (+971 4 277 0247) still appears on the clinic's own site as an alternate number, so it was left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility 'Bay Avenue Dental Centre' (Polyclinic, Burj Dubai) with matching address/email; no separate numeric facility license code published.

Updated Google rating 4.9→4.8 and review count 1235→1264 for the 'Dr. Michael's Dental Clinic - Umm Suqeim' listing, whose place link matches the one embedded on the clinic's own site for this branch (a separate 'Jumeirah Branch' listing at a different address/review count exists but is not this record on file entry). |
| 2026-08-25 | Gentle Dental Care (GDC) | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status): no changes. Google rating/review count could not be independently reconfirmed via an accepted source today; prior stored value of 4.8/246 left unchanged. |

| 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | NOA Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (noadentalclinic.com) and address unchanged (Unit 3808, Jumeirah Bay X2 Tower, JLT), business open. Corrected phone to +971521290431: the previously stored +97143987075 is, per the clinic's own website, the number for NOA's separate Trade Centre branch, not this JLT address — both the site and this Maps listing show +971 52 129 0431 for the JLT location.

Dr. Rabih Mahfouz (searched 'Rabih Mahfouz'/'Mahfouz'), Dr. Rabih Abi Nader (searched 'Abi Nader') and Dr. Sami Awa (searched 'Sami Awa'/'Awa') could not be matched under any searched name variant against the same open, dentist-scope registry — recorded null, not false, given the international/transliterated surnames and no exact or partial match found. |
