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. |
| 2026-10-13 | AS Odontología Digital | Re-read on 2026-10-13: the clinic's website (237 pages in Spanish and English: home, 14 treatment pages, team, international-patients, emergency, technology and location pages, blog) and its Google listing in four review orders. Recorded: Google 5.0 from 196 reviews (was 185), newest 2026-10-10, no owner replies on the 10 reviews read. Confirmed: nine named dentists with their areas of work, emergency care with same-day slots when possible, a remote consultation before travel, an English-speaking team, Saturday hours, cone-beam CT, conscious sedation only, and no published prices on any page. Noted: children are now seen at Bites, the clinic's sister pediatric practice at the same address, and the former pediatric page leads there. Still unverified: Facebook and TripAdvisor presence. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Santiago queries, read once for every clinic of the Santiago list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 4 of the five. |
| 2026-10-13 | Clínica Dental Beladent | Re-read on 2026-10-13: the clinic's website (home, team and dentist pages, all specialty pages, clinics, contact and blog) and its Google listing in four review orders. Recorded: Google 4.9 from 193 reviews (was 5.0 from 191), newest 2026-10-01; owner replies on recent reviews, a critical one included; 14 dentists named with their specialities; diagnostic X-rays at the first visit; online booking through the clinic's agenda; urgent dental care stated on the clinic's pages; no repeated complaint. Corrected: the site's markup is a bare Organization without address or phone, not clinic markup. Still unverified: cone-beam CT. The dentists listed now follow the clinic's own pages (fourteen). Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Santiago queries, read once for every clinic of the Santiago list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted.

Corrected: the clinic states on its home and treatment pages that the first evaluation is free, so the consultation price is published. Recorded: six named dentists with their specialties (two before); immediate care for dental emergencies; an online booking page with a choice of treatment or a general estimate and an embedded booking calendar; Google 4.9 from 192 reviews (was 188), newest 2026-09-26, with owner replies. Confirmed: no standing price list — the clinic's FAQ says it quotes only after an evaluation, and the implant figures on its blog are Santiago averages. Still unverified: cone-beam CT and TripAdvisor presence. The dentists listed now follow the clinic's team page (six). Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-13 with the five canonical Santiago queries, read once for every clinic of the Santiago list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted.

Recorded: Google 4.5 from 17 reviews, newest 2026-09-09; the clinic's WhatsApp number; English-language materials for patients; weekday-only opening hours; orthodontic care for children; no repeated complaint among the low ratings. Corrected: consultation prices are published (implant and wisdom-tooth evaluations free, maxillofacial consultation $40,000). Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence.

Recorded: Google 5.0 from 4988 reviews, newest 2026-10-12; owner replies to recent reviews including critical ones; dentists who see patients in English.

Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. Corrected 2026-10-13: four five-star Google reviews posted on 2026-10-12 for the same orthodontist and assistant follow one story line and one closing phrase, so "no signs of review manipulation" can no longer be confirmed; recorded as unverified.

| 2026-09-17 | Clínica Dental Dentelite | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic’s Google listing; its website could not be loaded today. Recorded: the clinic’s website domain is no longer connected to a live site; Google rating steady at 4.9 with review count essentially unchanged (199); evening and Saturday hours from the Google listing. Corrected: the "has a working website" record, since the domain now returns a Wix connection error instead of the clinic’s content. Still unverified: pediatric care, work with international patients, CBCT, English-speaking staff, Facebook presence, structured data and TripAdvisor presence remain unverified while the site is down. |
| 2026-09-17 | Clínica Dental Dentelite | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard patient searches: the clinic's own site ranked for "dental implants Santiago"; not present for "best dentist Santiago", "English speaking dentist Santiago", "emergency dentist Santiago" and "Santiago dental clinic for expats". |

Recorded: Google rating steady at 4.9 with review count up to 71; one owner reply found among the readable reviews; evening and Saturday hours from the Google listing; structured data present on the network site. Still unverified: equipment, oral surgery, emergency care, English-speaking staff and an online pre-visit consultation tool remain unverified because the clinic’s own branch page loaded mostly as framework code with little readable text; TripAdvisor presence also remains unverified. |

| 2026-09-17 | Clínica Dental RedSalud | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic’s Google listing; its website remained blocked to automated access today, as in the last check. Recorded: Google rating steady at 4.1 with review count up to 128; the clinic replies to all five readable Google reviews. Still unverified: equipment, oral surgery, emergency care, English-speaking staff, an online pre-visit consultation tool, structured data and TripAdvisor presence remain unverified while the site blocks automated access. Complaint and review-pattern readings are also left unrecorded: one readable review concerns a non-dental (psychiatric) consultation, so this Google listing appears to mix reviews across co-located RedSalud services at the same address. |

| 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. |
| 2026-09-01 | 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | 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. |

This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
