Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site documents general anaesthesia used for zygomatic implant placement. |
| 2026-08-26 | 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 documents general anaesthesia for zygomatic implants -> recorded true. |
| 2026-08-25 | 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. |
