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 | Oral Imagen | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 — it is named only "Dental Clinic", but its address, phone and website field are the clinic's: 5.0 from 141 reviews, no low ratings to repeat a complaint and no sign of review manipulation. |

| 2026-10-01 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Doctoralia, Bookimed or Trustpilot; the directory pages cited earlier only repeated the clinic's Google rating, so this is now marked no. |
| 2026-10-01 | DentiOral | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on Doctoralia, WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Dentisalud | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on Doctoralia, WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot; "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Oral Láser | Found the clinic's own Doctoralia profile on 2026-10-01 at the address on this card, so presence on other review platforms is recorded (no patient reviews there yet). |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Ártica | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-18); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2025-11-11). |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Dental Home (Sede Poblado) | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29. Recorded from the clinic's website (homepage, team, specialties, FAQ, location, emergency, international-patients, sedation and equipment pages, in Spanish and English) and its Google Business Profile: a multi-specialist practice with two Medellín locations, of which this entry covers El Poblado; eleven named dentists, ten with a stated specialty; an English site and remote pre-assessment for international patients. No treatment prices are published. Google rating 4.9 from 170 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-20, with individual owner replies. Not found on TripAdvisor or WhatClinic. The El Poblado location is registered in Colombia's national provider registry (REPS) at its exact address; the individual dentists' professional-licence numbers have not been verified. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Viena | Confirmed that the clinic's pediatric-dentistry sister site (Viena Kids, vienakids.com.co) opens normally and is branded as part of Clínica Viena. Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-29 | Colombia Care Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-04); red flag "Suspicious review patterns" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the review history shows no sign of manipulation. |
| 2026-09-29 | DentiOral | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-01). |
| 2026-09-29 | Dentisalud | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-29 | English Speaking Dentist Medellin | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-29 | Odontología OPAL - Diseño de Sonrisa | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29. Recorded from the clinic's website (homepage, about, contact, dental-tourism, patient-stories, terms and three treatment pages, in Spanish and English) and its Google Business Profile: a digital-dentistry practice in El Poblado offering smile design, oral rehabilitation and orthodontics, with a dental-tourism page for international patients and a free assessment with a personalised treatment plan. No treatment prices are published, and the site names no dentist. Google rating 4.9 from 136 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-16; the newest owner replies found date from January 2025. Not found on TripAdvisor or WhatClinic. The practitioner, Dr. Carlos Andrés Granados David, is registered in Colombia's national provider registry (REPS) at the clinic's exact address. |
| 2026-09-29 | Oral Imagen | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-29); owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-08-31). |
| 2026-09-29 | Oral Láser | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-29 | OralStudio | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 1012 (was 959) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-17 | Clínica Ártica | Aligned with the clinic's entry on colombiadentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (no) from sources read on 2026-08-23. |
| 2026-09-17 | Clínica Viena | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (97-page sitemap, price pages, dental-tourism guide, dedicated emergencies and pediatric-referral pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: a dedicated implant-price page publishes specific figures and a free consultation is offered with an online photo/x-ray review leading to a quote; a Facebook page is linked from the site; the site documents a dedicated pediatric-dentistry referral, a same-day emergency service and a dental-tourism program for international patients; Saturday hours are published; structured data identifies the business as a dentist. Google rating 4.9 from 362 reviews, the owner replies to reviews, no recurring complaint theme and no signs of manipulation. Read but not confirmed as the clinic's own price: a crown-cost article that compares market rates by country/city rather than quoting Clínica Viena's own price. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-17 | Dentisalud | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (homepage, Medellín location page and own blog articles on pediatric dentistry and oral surgery) and its Google listing for the La Playa branch. Recorded: the clinic's own articles document a network-wide pediatric-dentistry team and an oral/maxillofacial surgery team; X-rays and CBCT/3D imaging are documented for implant planning; the Google listing shows a genuine storefront photo, while the site's own imagery is generic stock photography; Saturday and evening hours are published; a WhatsApp booking button publishes a direct contact number; structured data identifies the business as an organization. Google rating 4.2 from 287 reviews (up from 278), and the owner has replied to at least one review; no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, and whether the clinic serves foreign patients or speaks English. Today's Google listing and the site's national call-centre line each show a different phone number from the one in this entry, which keeps the number on file until one of them can be confirmed with the clinic. |
| 2026-09-17 | English Speaking Dentist Medellin | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (FAQ and full service-list pages) and its Google listing. Corrected: the FAQ page publishes specific prices for a cleaning and for a consultation, previously recorded as unpublished. Recorded: X-rays are a listed service, with no CBCT/cone-beam imaging mentioned; emergency dental work is a listed service; no oral-surgery or pediatric-dentistry service found on the site; structured data identifies the business as a dentist. The Google listing remains verified but still shows no star rating or reviews. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; whether the paid, in-practice consultation includes an online treatment estimate. |
| 2026-09-17 | Oral Láser | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (quienes-somos, service pages, preventive-dentistry/radiology page and dental-tourism page) and its Google listing. Corrected: the team page names four specialists with their specializations, and the dental-tourism page publishes an implant price and a free online consultation - all previously recorded as absent. Recorded: dedicated service pages confirm implants, orthodontics, oral/maxillofacial surgery and pediatric dentistry; periapical X-ray is documented but no CBCT; fluent English and a dental-tourism program for international patients are documented; genuine premises photos on the Google listing. Google rating 3.9 from 68 reviews (up from 66), newest review from July 2026; two independent reviews describe difficulty reaching the clinic by phone; no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and listings on other review platforms. |
| 2026-09-17 | Oral Láser | The "no named dentists" flag has been withdrawn: the clinic's own team page names four specialists with their fields - Carlos Vega Diez (oral rehabilitation), Nathalia Botero Moreno (aesthetic dentistry), Juan Restrepo Ramírez (orthodontics) and Mauricio Gómez Correal (aesthetic dentistry) - and they are now listed on this entry. Individual professional licence numbers have not been looked up for them yet. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | Website https://www.clinicacolombianadeimplantes.com has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |

| 2026-09-07 | Clínica Ártica | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | DentiOral | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Dentisalud | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | English Speaking Dentist Medellin | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | International Smiles | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-07 | Oral Láser | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | OralStudio | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 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. |

Sedation research (separate file) found the clinic's own site explicitly documents conscious sedation only, patient stays aware -> recorded false. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Viena | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Site documents conscious sedation only; patient explicitly stays aware ('sin perder la conciencia'). |

| 2026-08-26 | Dentisalud | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked network website (live, though homepage now shows a multi-city network rather than only Medellín) and confirmed the La Playa branch specifically via Google Business Profile (4.3/278) and a local directory; contacts/operating status (open) confirmed; added geo + Maps URL; added 1 new external source (colombiabz.com local directory) beyond Google Maps, and newly recorded recurringComplaints=true from two independent recent reviews describing billing/administrative issues; visibility scout 5 queries run (not present in any top-10 today); both existing sources already cited, none uncited to triage.

Sedation research (separate file) found the clinic's own blog explicitly contrasts its sedation with general anesthesia ('remain awake but deeply relaxed') -> recorded false, not true. |
| 2026-08-26 | International Smiles | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Site contrasts sedation with GA: 'most sedation options allow you to remain awake but deeply relaxed' — patient stays conscious. |
| 2026-08-26 | Oral Imagen | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts, Google reputation (5.0/139) and operating status (open) via Google Business Profile (which curiously has the generic display name 'Dental Clinic' rather than 'Oralimagen' - noted); own-site fetch failed today (no response) so 'website live' could not be independently re-confirmed by direct fetch, though the domain is linked from the active Google Business listing; added geo + Maps URL; added 1 new external source (DentaVacation top-10 page, distinct from the already-cited individual listing) beyond Google Maps; visibility scout 5 queries run (not present in any top-10 today, a decline from the prior 2026-07-12 scout which had it present for 3/5 queries - visibility appears to have dropped); both existing sources already cited, none uncited to triage. Sedation could not be researched today (site unreachable) -> left null in the separate sedation file. |

| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Ártica | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: found active habilitación for Clínica Ártica S.A.S. (codigohabilitacionsede 050011040201) matching address, phone and email exactly. No individual REPS record found for the 8 named specialists (they appear to work under the clinic's IPS habilitación rather than personal Profesional-Independiente registrations); ReTHUS is ID-only/blocked, so personal license numbers remain unverified (null, not false). |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: found active habilitación for Grupo Dos Mil Clínica Colombiana de Implantes Dentales S A (codigohabilitacionsede 050010549501), address/phone/email matching exactly. No individual REPS record found for the 3 named specialists; ReTHUS is ID-only/blocked, so personal license numbers remain unverified (null, not false). |
| 2026-08-25 | Clínica Viena | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: no single clinic-level habilitación under 'Clínica Viena', but all 7 named dentists (Peláez, Contreras, Otálvaro, Hernández, Lozano, Gutiérrez, Palacio) hold individual REPS Profesional-Independiente habilitación codes at the exact office address (Cl. 7 Sur #42-70, Of. 420, Edificio Forum) — strong positive evidence the practice operates on a licensed basis even without a single company-level number. |
| 2026-08-25 | Colombia Care Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: Colombia Care Dental's office is registered to named dentist María Paulina Gutiérrez García's individual Profesional-Independiente habilitación (050012611701), serving as both the clinic-level and doctor-level finding; a same-building 'Colombia Care Hair Restoration S.A.S.' entry is registered for a non-health purpose and does not apply here. |
| 2026-08-25 | DentiOral | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS (Registro Especial de Prestadores de Servicios de Salud, datos.gov.co): found active habilitación for Inversiones Dentioral S.A.S. at both listed addresses (Almacentro and Belén). No individual REPS record found for the 4 named dentists; ReTHUS (national dentist registry) is ID-number-only and blocked from outside Colombia, so their personal license numbers remain unverified (null, not false). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentisalud | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: found active habilitación for the Dentisalud network across all three locations named in clinics.json (La Playa, El Poblado, La Floresta), under two related legal entities. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's site, so no doctor-level lookups were performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | English Speaking Dentist Medellin | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: confirmed active habilitación for Su Consultorio S.A.S. (codigohabilitacionsede 050011430501), the legal entity clinics.json already names as operating this brand, at the same Torre Salud y Servicios building. No individual dentist is named on the clinic's site, so no doctor-level lookup was performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | International Smiles | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: no habilitación found under 'International Smiles' or 'Smiles' variants, and the clinic's own site publishes no license number. The clinic's street address does carry an active REPS habilitación under a different (unnamed-on-site) individual dentist, so recorded as null rather than verified-false. No doctors were named on the site to look up individually. |
| 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 | Oral Imagen | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: found active habilitación for Oralimagen S.A.S. (codigohabilitacionsede 050011187201), confirmed via matching email/phone though REPS still lists an older Laureles address. No REPS record found for director Dr. Johana Ossa Gómez by name; ReTHUS is ID-only/blocked so her personal license remains unverified (null, not false). |
| 2026-08-25 | Oral Láser | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: found active habilitación for the Oral Láser network under Unidad Estomatológica Las Vegas S.A. (codigohabilitacionsede 050010417209), address matching the clinic's emergency-unit location exactly. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's site, so no doctor-level lookups were performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | OralStudio | License verification 2026-08-25 against REPS: OralStudio is registered as director José Fernando Espitia Mesa's individual Profesional-Independiente habilitación (050010831501) at the clinic's exact address, serving as both the clinic-level and doctor-level finding. |
| 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. |
