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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-03 | 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. |
| 2026-09-01 | AS Odontología Digital | Re-read of the clinic's own website following its corrections of 2026-08-06 (eight points, all verifiable): paediatric dentistry page recorded; emergency care and remote pre-visit video consultation recorded from the international-patients FAQ; structured data recorded (Dentist JSON-LD with rating, contact, hours, services and the SEREMI authorisation number; FAQPage; Person JSON-LD per dentist); team updated from 4 to 9 named dentists with their published RNPI numbers (registry check pending - rnpi.superdesalud.gob.cl unreachable on 2026-08-26 and 2026-09-01); SEREMI sanitary authorisation No. 2413231301 recorded as clinic-published. Sedation note corrected (conscious sedation and nitrous oxide documented; no GA / deep sedation). Prices remain unpublished - not contested by the clinic. Two of the eight points (Google rating, licence penalty) had already been addressed on 2026-08-25/26. |
| 2026-08-26 | AS Odontología Digital | License verification 2026-08-26: RNPI dentist registry unreachable (connection refused, re-confirmed via fetch and live browser); institutional accreditation registry searched for 'AS Odontologia Digital' with no match but does not cover ordinary licensed clinics.

No named doctors on site to check against RNPI (which is itself unreachable, connection refused, re-confirmed 2026-08-26). |

| 2026-08-26 | IntegraMédica Centro Dental | License verification 2026-08-26: institutional accreditation registry targeted-searched for 'Integramedica' with no confirmed match (full manual browse of the alphabetical index not completed); registry also does not cover the mandatory SEREMI operating license, so recorded null not false.

| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental RedSalud | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (redsalud.cl) returned 403 (CloudFront block) to direct automated access both via fetch and browser -- treated as live based on the dedicated dental-clinic Google Maps listing (which matches the stored address exactly). Confirmed address/phone unchanged via Maps. Recorded first-time Google rating 4.1 (127 reviews) from the dental-specific 'Clínica Dental RedSalud Manuel Montt' listing. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Sonríe | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and address unchanged; Google review count increased from 271 to 297, first-time rating captured at 4.8. Note: the clinic's Google Maps card displays phone +56 2 3220 6090, which differs from the stored/website-confirmed +56 2 2205 1816 -- not applied as a correction since the clinic's own site still lists the stored number; flagging for manual review. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Dental Sonríe | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Conscious sedation explicitly described as awake, can hear/see surroundings. |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Maxilofacial | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; recorded first-time Google rating 4.4 (14 reviews) and place URL/coordinates. |

| 2026-08-25 | Dentistas Alcántara (Agrupación Odontológica Alcántara) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; recorded first-time Google rating 4.3 (33 reviews) and place URL/coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentistas Alcántara (Agrupación Odontológica Alcántara) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Pediatric IV sedation by anesthesiologist; child sleeps 1-3 hours. |

| 2026-08-25 | Dentistas por Chile | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Offers priced "deep IV sedation" for wisdom-tooth extraction, alongside oral/nitrous options. |
| 2026-08-25 | INO Ortodoncia & Odontología (Instituto Nacional de Ortodoncia) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; Google review count increased from 794 to 1,062, first-time rating captured at 3.0 (notably low for the category). |
| 2026-08-25 | INO Ortodoncia & Odontología (Instituto Nacional de Ortodoncia) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Nitrous-oxide conscious sedation only, for pediatric dentistry. |
| 2026-08-25 | IntegraMédica Centro Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and address unchanged (branch confirmed via a June 2026 review); recorded geo coordinates. Only Google Maps listing found is the general 'IntegraMédica Alameda' multi-specialty medical center (2.5, 731 reviews) -- not dental-specific, so googleRating/reviewCount was not recorded (would misattribute whole-center reputation to the dental service). |
| 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 | Odontología UC CHRISTUS | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged. No dedicated Google Maps place exists for the 'Odontología' department itself -- Maps only surfaces the general Hospital Clínico UC CHRISTUS listing and other unrelated UC CHRISTUS branch listings covering all hospital services, not dental specifically, so no googleRating/reviewCount/geo was recorded (would misattribute whole-hospital reputation to the dental department). |
| 2026-08-25 | Odontología UC CHRISTUS | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Hospital dept documents general anaesthesia for oral/maxillofacial surgery, plus a hospital fee schedule billing code for it. |
| 2026-08-25 | Odonty - Clínica Dental Providencia | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (dentistaensantiago.cl) returned 403 'not available in your region' to direct automated access both via fetch and browser -- treated as live based on extensive Google indexing and matching Maps listing, not dead. Confirmed address/phone unchanged via Maps. Google review count increased from 368 to 426 (rating unchanged at 5.0). |
| 2026-08-25 | SmileBoost | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; Google review count increased from 22 to 35 (rating unchanged at 4.5). |
| 2026-08-25 | TV Dental Studio (Dr. Tomás Vera) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and address unchanged; recorded phone +56 9 7858 9977 (worklist previously had none) and first-time Google rating 5.0 (16 reviews). Note: Maps lists the business under the dentist's personal name (Vera Vera Tomas Eduardo) rather than 'TV Dental Studio', though the clinic's own site and Maps 'from the owner' post both use the TV Dental Studio brand. |
| 2026-08-25 | Uno Salud Dental - Vitacura | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (unosalud.cl) returned 403 Forbidden to direct automated access both via fetch and browser -- treated as live based on extensive Google indexing and matching Maps listing, not dead. Confirmed address/phone unchanged via Maps. Recorded first-time Google rating 4.4 (93 reviews). |
| 2026-08-25 | Zenclinic Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website (blocked to automated fetch but confirmed live via browser), address, phone unchanged; recorded first-time Google rating 5.0 (341 reviews) and place URL/coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Zenclinic Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Conscious sedation mentioned for veneers/smile design (awake, relaxed). |
| 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. |
