| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | E11even Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); Google Maps rating reconfirmed (4.8/318, up from 284) with geo pin and place URL; added 2 external sources (Google Maps, WhatClinic via Bing panel); visibility scout 5 queries (englishSpeaking query = true, others false); uncited-source triage: 'e11-cqc' (archived CQC record) genuinely supports the existing licensing.clinicLicense note explaining why current CQC status is unconfirmed - cited there rather than pruned. |
| 2026-08-26 | E11even Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Implants placed under local anaesthetic only; no sedation/GA option mentioned anywhere in site navigation or treatment pages. |
| 2026-08-26 | Harley Street Dental & Implant Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open) and CQC registration (still active); Google Maps rating newly captured (4.9/199, previously unset) with geo pin and place URL - notably 2 reviews flagged brand-new within the last 2-3 weeks; 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 | London Dental Centre | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); Google Maps rating newly captured (4.8/304, previously unset) with geo pin and place URL; added 2 external sources (Google Maps, Doctify); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today); no uncited sources on this clinic. |

| 2026-08-26 | ODL Dental Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (all confirmed, open); Google Maps rating newly captured (4.9/1,576, previously unset, largest review volume in this cohort) with geo pin and place URL; added 3 external sources (Google Maps, Doctify, Trustpilot via Bing panel); visibility scout 5 queries (all false today, including expats which is not reproduced from 2026-07-10); no uncited sources on this clinic. |
| 2026-08-26 | ODL Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Same-day implants page states procedure carried out under local anaesthetic; no other sedation option offered/mentioned on site. |

| 2026-08-26 | Smile Cliniq | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Optional sedation offered but site states explicitly 'It is not a general anaesthetic'; patient stays safe/responsive with reduced memory. |

| 2026-08-25 | Bow Lane Dental Group | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-17410257397); all 5 named clinicians matched single, unambiguous GDC Dentist entries. |
| 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 | Marylebone Smile Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: clinic CQC registration found (1-12502674502); the named dentist matched a single unambiguous GDC entry. |
| 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Whites Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC and CQC: both clinic locations (Waterloo and Marble Arch) found registered with CQC under provider One Dee Limited. 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Wimpole Street Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against GDC (Search the Registers) and CQC (Find care services): clinic CQC registration found (1-25993917110); all 6 named doctors matched single, unambiguous GDC entries. |
| 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. |
