| 2026-10-07 | Metodología 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. |

| 2026-09-29 | Centro Odontológico Asiri | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-29 | Clínica Odontológica Fernando Sandoval | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4 (was 4.3) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dental Quito Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 101 (was 93) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-14). |
| 2026-09-29 | Dr. Bracket's | 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; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-29 | Maxilar Implant | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency older than a year (newest review dated 2024-09-15). |
| 2026-09-24 | Clínica Dental Implantek | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (services overview and sitemap) and its Google listing. Recorded: dedicated orthodontics and pediatric-dentistry pages; a free initial consultation with an evaluation-then-plan process; no same-day emergency wording; weekday-only hours ending at 5pm; no structured data; not found on TripAdvisor. The listing's only review dates to 2019, too old and too few (1) to assess recurring complaints, manipulation or reply behaviour, which stay unscored. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment and English-speaking or foreign-patient experience. |
| 2026-09-24 | Clínica Dental La Prensa | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's single-page website and its Google listing (newest and lowest reviews). Recorded: digital radiography but no CBCT/3D tomography; no pediatric or same-day emergency service in the published list; online booking promises a personalized plan; Saturday hours; homepage carries Dentist structured data; Google listing now shows 4.6 from 12 reviews (previously 4.3 from 13), with an owner reply and no recurring complaints. Not found on TripAdvisor or in the WhatClinic Quito directory. Still unverified: English-speaking staff and international-patient experience. Corrected: review recency lowered to older than one year - the newest review on the listing is dated 2025-09-18 and the review count has not grown since the previous check. |
| 2026-09-24 | DENT | Clínica Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's one-page website and its Google listing. Recorded: no English version; weekday hours until 7pm; no structured data; not found on TripAdvisor; the Google listing has no reviews yet (confirmed empty after repeated reads), so a rating, recurring complaints, manipulation signs and reply behaviour cannot be assessed. Still unverified: CBCT equipment and online consultation booking. |
| 2026-09-24 | Dentimagen Centro Odontológico | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (full 15-page sitemap, including the northern-branch page) and its Google listing (Norte Quito branch, newest and lowest reviews). Recorded: a landline contact number; implant placement described as surgery; orthodontic treatment offered for children; online booking of an evaluation visit; urgent care at the northern branch arranged via WhatsApp; Saturday hours; Dentist structured data; a Facebook page; no recurring complaints and no signs of review manipulation; not found on TripAdvisor. Still unverified: English-speaking staff and international-patient experience. |
| 2026-09-24 | Depau Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (full sitemap, surgery, FAQ, general-dentistry and blog pages) and its Google listing (newest and lowest reviews). Recorded: no English site version; wisdom-tooth extraction and orthognathic surgery on the surgery page; the clinic's own blog cites feedback from international patients, and reviews from US patients describe travelling to Quito for treatment; consistent English-language reviews with English owner replies; a rapid-care protocol for urgent pain relief described on the clinic's blog; homepage carries Dentist structured data; Google listing now shows 83 reviews (previously 81), newest dated 2026-09-11; no recurring complaints and no signs of review manipulation; not found on TripAdvisor. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment and online consultation booking. |
| 2026-09-24 | Implantes Dentales Quito (ID Ecuador) | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (specialties, guided-surgery pages, full 19-page sitemap) and its Google listing (newest and lowest reviews). Recorded: 3D tomography used for guided implant planning; an online request for an implant assessment; no structured data found; not found on TripAdvisor or in the WhatClinic Quito directory; Google listing unchanged at 5.0 from 33 reviews, but with two independent signs of review manipulation (all-5-star histogram at this volume plus mostly single-review accounts) and no recurring complaints. Still unverified: plain X-ray equipment, pediatric and same-day emergency care, and English-speaking or foreign-patient experience (a single US-patient review is not enough on its own). |
| 2026-09-24 | Innovadent Quito | The clinic's live website could not be reached on 2026-09-24 (SSL connection error, confirmed independently); an archived copy from 2026-04-15 was used only to correct two facts. Corrected: the site does name a treating dentist (previously recorded as not shown). The same archived copy carries structured data about the clinic. Re-read the Google listing: an owner reply is present; recurring complaints about lateness and unanswered calls are confirmed with two independent, dated reviews; no signs of review manipulation; not found on TripAdvisor; the listing's hours run until 7pm on weekdays and include Saturday morning. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, pediatric and emergency care, and English-speaking or foreign-patient experience, pending the site coming back online. |
| 2026-09-24 | ORIS Odontología Especializada | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (full 19-page sitemap, urgent-care and orthodontics pages) and its Google listing, including its photo strip. Recorded: genuine branded clinic photos on the Google listing; a dedicated orthodontics page; orthodontic patients accepted from age 10; weekday-only hours ending before 6pm; Dentist/MedicalBusiness structured data; not found on TripAdvisor or in the WhatClinic Quito directory. The listing's only review is recent but alone (1), too few to assess recurring complaints, manipulation or reply behaviour, which stay unscored. Still unverified: same-day emergency care (the urgent-care page offers appointments within the week), English-speaking staff and international-patient experience. |
| 2026-09-24 | Proboca Clínicas Dentales | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website and a TripAdvisor search. Recorded: the site documents daily opening hours specifically enabling both consultations and emergencies; no structured data; not found on TripAdvisor. This is a 9-branch chain with no single Google Business listing identified for the brand as a whole — the one branch listing found (Isla Genovesa / Av. Río Coca) is unclaimed with a single review, too weak and too local to represent the chain's rating, review recency, reply behaviour or complaint patterns, which are left unscored rather than guessed from one branch. |
| 2026-09-11 | Centro Odontológico Asiri | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-04-25. |
| 2026-09-11 | Clínica Odontológica Fernando Sandoval | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 3 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-07-08. |
| 2026-09-11 | Depau Dental | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-04-27. |
| 2026-09-11 | Dr. Bracket's | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-06-02. |
| 2026-09-11 | Maxilar Implant | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 5 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2024-09-17. |
| 2026-09-11 | Proboca Clínicas Dentales | Address and map re-read: the clinic publishes no street address and no map or pin, only a road or a list of neighbourhoods, so the criterion was corrected to not published. The score drops by two points. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dr. Bracket's | Website https://www.drbrackets.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 | Metodología 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 | Metodología 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Centro Odontológico Asiri | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live), refined address from vague 'Iñaquito area' to precise street address via Maps, updated Google rating 4.8/84 (up from 81), added pin coords + place URL + owner-responds-to-reviews finding; added Facebook page as new external source to onFacebook; visible for 5 of 5 canonical queries (dominant page-1 presence, strongest of the cohort); cited previously-uncited s2 (own about-us page) to communication.englishSpoken; sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental Implantek | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/phone (unchanged, live); refined address, added Google rating 5.0 (very low volume: 1 review) + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook, confirming 30 years in business (citeExisting preserves s1); found an independent directory mention on ecuapinoo.com but could not capture a clean dedicated URL; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Dental La Prensa | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/phone (unchanged, live); resolved vague stored address ('La Prensa area') to precise street address via Maps + independent Facebook confirmation; added Google rating 4.3/13 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added new independent Facebook source to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Odontológica Fernando Sandoval | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live) and phone; identified the correct Maps listing among 2 similarly-named results by matching stored phone number (4.3/16 reviews; a different 'matriz' listing shows 4.6/41 under a different phone); added pin coords + place URL; added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook; visible for 5 of 5 canonical queries (strong page-1 presence, tied with Asiri/DQC as the only cohort clinics visible); pruned s2 (well-reviewed.online listing, now returns HTTP 403/dead); sedation researched, no info found on homepage despite maxillofacial-surgery offering. |
| 2026-08-26 | DENT | Clínica Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/WhatsApp (unchanged, live); confirmed exact address match on Maps + pin coords + place URL for the 'DENT Especialidades Odontologicas' GBP listing; identified a SECOND Google Business listing 'DENT clínica dental' (5.0/6 reviews, matches stored landline) at a nearby address, but could not capture a stable place URL for it, so googleRating is left unset pending a valid source; added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Quito Clinic | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live), added Google rating 4.8/93 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset); visible for 5 of 5 canonical queries (strong page-1 presence via WhatClinic/PlacidWay/Facebook); cited previously-uncited s2 (WhatClinic listing, confirmed live with ServiceScore detail) to reputation.onOtherPlatforms; sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentimagen Centro Odontológico | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live); IMPORTANT finding - independently verified Google rating is 4.3/7 reviews, far below the clinic's self-reported '4.9, 50+ reviews' claim on its own site; added pin coords + place URL; confirmed separate Tumbaco branch; found independent mentions (Revista Gestión business-press Facebook post citing '20 años de experiencia'; a patient testimonial in a Cotacachi-expats Facebook group naming Dr. Roberto Campuzano and matching phone; directoriomedicoquito.com directory listing matching address) but could not capture clean dedicated URLs for a second citable external source - only the Maps place page was cited; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found (only generic 'sin dolor' marketing claim). |
| 2026-08-26 | Depau Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live), added Google rating 5.0/81 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset), noted LGBTQ+-friendly/woman-owned GBP attributes; cited previously-uncited s2 (Facebook page, title-confirmed live) to reputation.onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dr. Bracket's | Deepen 2026-08-26: RECHECK FINDING - clinic website drbrackets.com is currently unreachable (connection refused/error page, tested both with and without www, via two independent tools) as of 2026-08-26, despite the business itself being clearly very active on Google Maps (5.0/999 reviews at the matched 'matriz' branch, plus two sibling GBP-listed branches with 545 and 554 reviews); added Google rating + pin coords + place URL (was unset, matched by exact address+phone); could not render the clinic's own Facebook page via available tools (content did not load) so only 1 clean independent external source (Google Maps) was obtained for the >=2 target; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found - website unreachable, no other source located. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dr. Bracket's | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://www.drbrackets.com/]: https://www.drbrackets.com/ (attempt1: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443; attempt2 (+30s): connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:443, other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | Implantes Dentales Quito (ID Ecuador) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live); added Google rating 5.0/33 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added new independent Facebook source (7.5K followers) to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries despite implant specialization; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found (guided surgery mentioned but no anaesthesia protocol). |
| 2026-08-26 | Innovadent Quito | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live); added Google rating 3.9/12 reviews (lowest in cohort so far) + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Maxilar Implant | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live); added Google rating 4.6/10 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added Facebook page (found via clinic's own contact page) as new source to onFacebook; cited previously-uncited s2 (contactanos page) to infoTransparency.clearContacts; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries (though this clinic runs paid Google Ads for implant-related queries, not organic visibility); sedation researched: FALSE - site describes "sedoanalgesia" with anesthesiologist monitoring for surgery, which is IV conscious sedation, not general anaesthesia/asleep. |
| 2026-08-26 | Maxilar Implant | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. IV conscious sedation only: 'realizamos nuestras cirugías con sedoanalgesia...con el monitoreo de un médico anestesiólogo' (sedation-analgesia with anaesthesiologist monitoring); not stated as general anaesthesia or patient asleep/unaware |
| 2026-08-26 | ORIS Odontología Especializada | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/phone (unchanged, live); Google Business Profile does not list a website link despite oris.clinic being live; added Google rating 5.0 (1 review) + pin coords + place URL (was unset); added new independent Facebook page confirming lead dentist name to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Proboca Clínicas Dentales | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/phone (unchanged, live); identified the specific branch matching our stored phone among many same-brand Google listings across the metro area ('PRO-BOCA CLINICA DENTAL SAN RAFAEL', 4.5/4 reviews) but could not capture a stable dedicated place URL for it, so googleRating is left unset pending a valid source; added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries; no uncited sources existed (only s1); sedation researched, no info found. |
| 2026-08-26 | Zirconia Dental Center | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/address/phone (unchanged, live), added Google rating 4.9/255 reviews + pin coords + place URL (was unset) - by far the largest review volume seen for this clinic; confirmed separate Cumbayá branch on Maps; added Facebook page as new source to onFacebook (citeExisting preserves s1); cited previously-uncited s2 (own implants page) to infrastructure.offersImplantology; visible for 0 of 5 canonical queries despite implant specialization; sedation researched: FALSE - site states "tratamiento se realiza bajo anestesia local" (local anesthesia only), no general anaesthesia/sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-08-26 | Zirconia Dental Center | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Local anaesthesia only: 'El tratamiento se realiza bajo anestesia local y planificación digital precisa' |
| 2026-08-25 | Metodología 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. |
| 2026-08-23 | Metodología 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 | Metodología 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 | Metodología v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
