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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-07 | 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. |
| 2026-10-05 | Bow Lane Dental Group | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the DocDental page cited before only reproduces Google reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on Doctify, WhatClinic or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |

| 2026-10-05 | Harley Street Dental & Implant Clinic | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the DocDental page cited before only reproduces Google reviews; Doctify has only an unclaimed page without reviews and no profile was found on WhatClinic or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-05 | Wimpole Street Dental Clinic | onOtherPlatforms true → false: the Doctify entry it rested on is unclaimed and has no reviews; the Trustpilot page for its domain is an empty unclaimed stub and WhatClinic no longer has a profile for it. |

| 2026-09-29 | Condor Dent | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-10). |
| 2026-09-24 | Bow Lane Dental Group | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, dental-implants, technology and X-ray-safety pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine team/reception photo; consultation (including X-rays), hygiene, filling, crown and implant prices; in-house X-rays, a 3D CT bone scan and implant placement; WhatsApp offered as a contact option; a dedicated video-consultation booking page. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and a few low ratings that repeat complaints about rushed consultations and advice to have unnecessary treatment. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients. |
| 2026-09-24 | Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd) | Re-read the clinic's website (cost, FAQ, gallery, contact and implant-crown pages) and re-checked its Google Business Profile for the third time (after 2026-08-26 and 2026-09-10): the listing still shows no reviews and no star rating, and a map search for the business name and address found no other or newer listing. Recorded: genuine team photos; X-rays and cone-beam CT imaging included in the consultation and the all-inclusive implant price (no filling or cleaning prices, as the clinic focuses on implant treatment); no orthodontic or pediatric service; same-day consultations; no WhatsApp contact. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: Facebook presence, and whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients (the site's only mention of dental tourism warns patients against treatment abroad rather than documenting inbound international care). |
| 2026-09-24 | Harley Street Dental & Implant Clinic | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, team, contact, check-ups and oral-surgery pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: named dentists with GDC numbers; a genuine clinician photo; consultation, hygiene, filling, crown and implant prices (no separate X-ray charge); X-rays taken as part of check-ups; a linked Facebook page; a children's hygiene fee; an online appointment-request form. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and no recurring complaint theme among the small number of low ratings. No TripAdvisor presence found. No WhatsApp contact and no documentation of treating international/overseas patients. Still unverified: whether the CT scan mentioned for implant planning is taken at this practice. |
| 2026-09-24 | London Dental Centre | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, X-ray-explainer and implant-cost pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a full price list including consultation, hygiene, filling, crown, implant and standalone X-ray prices; a dedicated X-ray page describing periapical and panoramic imaging; online booking that includes a free Invisalign consultation; no WhatsApp/LINE contact found. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and at least two reviews describing unexpected or incorrect billing. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients, and whether the 3D imaging mentioned on its implant pages is cone-beam CT. |
| 2026-09-24 | Marylebone Smile Clinic | Re-read the clinic's website (fees and virtual-consultation pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a full cosmetic-treatment price list including consultation (with X-rays), hygiene, crown and implant prices (no restorative filling service); X-ray and 3D bone imaging for implants; a free virtual e-consultation with photo upload; Monday-Friday-only opening hours. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and no recurring complaint pattern. No TripAdvisor presence found. No pediatric or emergency dental service found. |
| 2026-09-24 | ODL Dental Clinic | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, general-dentistry, contact and implant pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: filling, crown and standalone X-ray prices; children's examination fees; an emergency appointment fee; extractions and wisdom-tooth removal; cone-beam CT imaging for implants; late weekday and Saturday opening hours; online appointment booking. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and at least two reviews describing appointments cancelled without notice. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients. |
| 2026-09-24 | ODL Dental Clinic | Corrected on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Meet the Team page names its dentists (orthodontists and general dental practitioners), so the earlier finding that no dentists are named is withdrawn. |
| 2026-09-24 | Wimpole Street Dental Clinic | Re-read the clinic's website (fees, contact, technical set-up, children's braces and Saturday-appointments pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: address and map published; a full price list with consultation, hygiene, filling, crown, implant and 3D X-ray (CBCT) prices; digital X-ray and CBCT equipment; children's orthodontic and hygiene services; online consultation booking; Saturday treatment appointments; a linked Facebook page; JSON-LD business markup. Google reviews: newest within 3 months, owner replies to reviews, and at least two reviews describing a poor treatment outcome. No TripAdvisor presence found. Still unverified: whether the clinic treats international/overseas patients. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd) | A later pass browser re-check 2026-09-10 (Google Maps, CQC, GDC). Google: the Business Profile was reopened - the recorded place id still resolves and the listing was also re-found by a Maps search on name plus street number - and it still shows no reviews and no star rating, so rating and review count stay null and 0; the stale '4.9 from 247 reviews' wording was removed from the clinic's own source and the 2026-07-10 search source now reads explicitly as a historical claim. CQC: correction to the 2026-08-26 entry - the published number 1-20629579981 does resolve, as the CQC provider id of Medical and Dental Limited at 20 Old Brompton Road SW7 3DL; the cqc.org.uk keyword search does not index provider ids, which is why it looked unresolvable. The clinic licence keeps its value, gains the CQC provider page as a source, and its note now names the provider and the registered dental service at this address ('South Kensington Medical and Dental', not yet inspected). GDC: the principal's registration 195843 (Yasha Yasamin Shirazi) was spot-checked again - Registered, Dentist, current period until 31 Dec 2026, unchanged. No red flag was added: an empty Google profile is not a verified adverse fact, and the licence question resolved in the clinic's favour. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd) | A later pass U-pre 2026-09-10: reputation.onOtherPlatforms corrected from true to false. The positive value cited only dil-search, a generic 2026-07-10 search whose source record now reads as a historical claim about a Google rating and says nothing about other platforms, while the deepen pass of 2026-08-26 had recorded the opposite on this card (the Doctify listing under this name is a different clinic in Kingston Vale; no WhatClinic, Trustpilot or RealSelf presence) and the 2026-09-10 browser re-check found only the Google Business Profile. The criterion now cites that deepen source and carries the negative in its note; dil-search moves to reputation.googleRating, whose note already refers to it as the historical record of the 4.9-from-247 figure, so it stays cited rather than orphaned. The score moves with the corrected criterion. No red flag was added: absence from optional review platforms is not a verified adverse fact. |

| 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Bow Lane Dental Group | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open) and CQC registration (still active); Google Maps rating newly captured via direct lookup (4.9/539, corrects homepage's informal 5-star badge) with geo pin and place URL; added 2 external sources (Google Maps, fresh CQC re-verification); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic. |
| 2026-08-26 | Bow Lane Dental Group | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers nitrous oxide ('laughing gas') and IV sedation framed as calming aids for nervous patients; conscious throughout. |
| 2026-08-26 | Condor Dent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); Google Maps rating newly captured (4.8/330, previously unset) with geo pin and place URL - review recency is comparatively stale (~7 months); added 2 external sources (Google Maps, Doctify); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); IMPORTANT correction - direct Google Maps verification today shows this clinic's Google Business Profile (20 Old Brompton Rd, phone/site confirmed matching) currently has NO reviews, contradicting the previously stored 4.9/247 (which was sourced from the clinic's own site/generic search, never independently Maps-verified) - rating/review-count corrected to null/0 with full explanation; a same-address but differently-branded/phoned listing ('South Kensington Medical and Dental Clinic') shows 4.9/434 but is a separate business profile and was not used. Added 1 external source (Google Maps) beyond the clinic's own site despite extensive additional searching (Doctify listing found under this name is a different address/clinic in Kingston Vale; the clinic's published CQC number 1-20629579981 does not resolve on cqc.org.uk today; no WhatClinic/Trustpilot/RealSelf presence found) - falls short of the usual 2-source target, documented honestly. Visibility scout 5 queries (implants and emergency = true via address match, others false); geo pin and place URL newly recorded; no uncited sources on this clinic. |

| 2026-08-25 | Condor Dent | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-6953603949). 4 of 5 named clinicians matched a single GDC Dentist entry; the fifth ('Dr Luis Hernan C.') is published with a truncated surname initial only and could not be reliably identified. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dental Implants London (Medical & Dental Ltd) | Doctor license verification 2026-08-25 against GDC by registration number (clinic already had a verified CQC registration number, 1-20629579981, so no new clinic-level search was performed): all 6 GDC numbers the clinic publishes for its clinicians were confirmed as Registered against the official register. |
| 2026-08-25 | E11even Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic's current CQC registration could not be confirmed (site's linked CQC reference is archived/address-mismatched per prior research) - left null, not false. Both named doctors share their full name with another currently-registered GDC dentist, so left null rather than guessed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Harley Street Dental & Implant Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-3957725008, exact address and phone match). No individual dentists are named on the clinic site, so no GDC doctor lookups were possible. |
| 2026-08-25 | London Dental Centre | Doctor license verification 2026-08-25 against GDC (clinic already had a verified CQC registration number, 1-220304412, so no new clinic-level search was performed): all 5 named clinicians matched single, unambiguous GDC Dentist entries. |

| 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 | ODL Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-4409994839), superseding the site's own unnumbered 'CQC-accredited' claim. No individual dentists are named on the clinic site, so no GDC doctor lookups were possible. |
| 2026-08-25 | Smile Cliniq | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-1503544149, St John's Wood address); 6 of 8 named doctors matched a single unambiguous GDC entry, 2 (both surnamed Patel) were ambiguous across multiple same-name registrants and left null rather than guessed. |
| 2026-08-25 | tooth dental care | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-11551511910). The one named team member is published with first name only (no surname), so GDC identity could not be verified - left null, not false. |

All 5 named clinicians are published with first name only (no surname) on the clinic site, so GDC identity could not be verified for any of them - left null, not false. |

| 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. |
