Journal des modifications
Chaque mise à jour de données, correction et modification de la méthodologie est consignée ici et dans l'historique propre à chaque clinique. Le classement est mis à jour dès que les données publiques sous-jacentes changent.
| Date | Objet | Modification |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Dentix24 Dental Clinic | Dentist names re-read on 2026-10-16: the clinic publishes its dentists' full names; the note now says so. No score change. |
| 2026-10-16 | Méthodologie 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. |
| 2026-10-07 | Méthodologie 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. |

| 2026-10-01 | Centre Street Dental Clinic | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: Dentist 365 clinic profile (no reviews); its Birdeye page only repeats Google reviews and is not counted; the datum previously rested on the clinic's own site or a professional-association listing. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clinique dentaire de la Montagne | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no RateMDs, WhatClinic or Trustpilot profile and Yelp unreadable, so onOtherPlatforms is now unknown; the Birdeye page, which only repeats Google reviews, is no longer cited for this. |
| 2026-10-01 | Dentistry on King | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: RateMDs practice page with 10 reviews; the datum previously rested on the clinic's own site or a professional-association listing. |

| 2026-09-29 | Beacon Hill Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-29 | Centre Street Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 8 reviews were checked for owner replies; active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clinique dentaire de la Montagne | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 9 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Clinique Dentaire Galeries du Parc | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 23 of 152 and the low reviews themselves were not read. |

| 2026-09-29 | Dentix24 Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists. |
| 2026-09-29 | Granville Station Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-24). |

| 2026-09-10 | 150 Elgin Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | 150 Elgin Dental | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario public register (read 2026-09-10) lists Mais Sweidan, registration 89157, Specialty Periodontist, Status Member, with "150 Elgin St #104, Ottawa, ON K2P 1L4, Phone (613) 594-4631" — this card's own address and telephone — among her practice locations; added as a fifth named dentist with that register as the source. This is the periodontist the clinic's own site refers to by role without naming. |
| 2026-09-10 | Alta Dental Studio | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Yelp page now opens in a real browser but carries no review at all, so onOtherPlatforms stays null with the obstacle correctly described. |
| 2026-09-10 | Alta Dental Studio | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: the card carried no dentist at all, because the clinic's own site is unreadable behind CloudFront. The British Columbia College of Oral Health Professionals public register (read in a real browser 2026-09-10) lists Rosalie Gu, Full Dentist since 15 August 2022, with "Alta Dental Studio, 2212 Kingsway, Vancouver BC V5N 3A8, P: 604-876-5032" — this card's own address and telephone — as her third practice address; added as a named dentist with that register as the source. The register publishes no licence numbers, so no licence number is recorded. |
| 2026-09-10 | Bank Street Dentistry | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the RateMDs profile for the practice owner opens in a real browser, names Bank Street Dentistry and carries 30 ratings, so onOtherPlatforms moves null to true; realClinicPhotos moves null to false after the whole site was read and found to carry no photograph and the Google record's owner photographs proved to be a stock marketing portrait. |
| 2026-09-10 | Beacon Hill Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; hasXray moves null to true after a 39-page read of the clinic site found a first-person statement that the practice takes X-rays at routine visits. |
| 2026-09-10 | Centre Dentaire Oracare | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Centre Street Dental Clinic | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clinique dentaire de la Montagne | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clinique Dentaire Drs Patrick McCabe & Robert McCabe | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clinique Dentaire Galeries du Parc | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clinique Dentaire La Cité | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Yelp business page, refused to an automated client, opens in a real browser at the practice's own suite address with 3.5 from 11 reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves null to true. |
| 2026-09-10 | Clinique Dentaire Regency | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Medicard profile opens but carries no review, so onOtherPlatforms stays null. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dr. Tracey Downtown Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; hasXray moves null to true after the service sub-pages, never read before, were found to publish a Step 1 X-Rays stage in the practice’s own cleaning sequence. |
| 2026-09-10 | East Ottawa Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Enlighten Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing for the practice; the Yelp business page opens in a real browser and carries two filtered patient reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves null to true. |
| 2026-09-10 | Granville Station Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Haysboro Dental Care | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; realClinicPhotos moves null to true after the team page, whose delivered HTML carries no images, was rendered in a browser and found to carry the practice's own watermarked staff photographs. |
| 2026-09-10 | Hemlock Dental Clinic | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing for the practice (its own search index queried under two query forms); the Yelp business page, refused to an automated client, opens in a real browser and carries two filtered patient reviews, so onOtherPlatforms moves null to true. |
| 2026-09-10 | Kent Street Dental Centre | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; hasXray moves null to true after the new-patient page was found to state that the practice performs a complete oral exam including X-rays. |
| 2026-09-10 | Macleod Trail Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Midtown Dental Centre | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: 'Dr. Perelgut' appears neither on the clinic's own roster (https://midtowndental.ca/meet-the-doctors/, read 2026-09-10, which names exactly three current dentists — Dr. Ramlaggan, Dr. Sepehr Torabi, Dr. Debono) nor at this address on the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario public register (https://www.rcdso.org/find-a-dentist/search-results/dentist?id=12048, read 2026-09-10, whose All Practice Locations list for Michael David Perelgut, registration 12048, gives only Bright Edge Dentistry, 6 Eglinton Ave E #316 and Quad Dental, 95 The Pond Rd); removed. The register shows him licensed and practising, at other clinics. |
| 2026-09-10 | Pathways Dental Clinic | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Preston Dental Centre | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Yellow Pages listing answers a CloudFront 403 to a real browser too, so onOtherPlatforms stays null; hasXray moves null to true after the clinic site, previously inaccessible, was read in a browser and found to state that its own x-ray equipment is chosen to minimise patient dose. |
| 2026-09-10 | Preston Dental Centre | Re-checked on 2026-09-10: the identification question on "Dr. Sassi" was re-tested against the Ontario register, and the single Ontario record under that surname was read in full in a real browser. It still publishes no practice address, and an address search of the register for 343 Preston Street still returns only the two other dentists on this card, so the record still cannot be tied to this practice. The gate decision of 2026-09-09 stands: no registration number is attributed to this dentist and nothing from that individual record is reported on this card. The licence entry remains "not found in the public register (checked 2026-09-07)". |
| 2026-09-10 | River Dental | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; the Yelp page now opens in a real browser, is confirmed to be this Ottawa practice and not the same-name Medicine Hat one, but carries no review, so onOtherPlatforms stays null. |
| 2026-09-10 | Van Dental Clinic | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: onTripAdvisor moves null to false — TripAdvisor's own search index, queried in a real browser under two query forms, carries no listing for this practice. |
| 2026-09-10 | Vancouver Dental Implant Center | Checked by hand in a browser on 2026-09-10: TripAdvisor carries no listing; realClinicPhotos moves null to true after the clinic's own Instagram account, linked from its site, was found to publish photographs of its own surgery; onOtherPlatforms stays null, with the record's dead Instagram handle corrected to the real one. |
| 2026-09-09 | East Ottawa Dental | The clinic's own "Dental Technology" page was found and read, and names digital X-rays explicitly. hasXray null → true. |
| 2026-09-09 | Pathways Dental Clinic | The clinic's own general-dentistry page states its exams screen for pathologies detectable on radiographs. hasXray null → true. |
| 2026-09-09 | Preston Dental Centre | Editorial-gate decision, option (b). The RCDSO registration number previously printed against "Dr. Sassi" is withdrawn to licenseNotFound: the identification rested only on the surname being unique in Ontario, with no address corroboration on either side, and the register record carries a published 2017 regulatory outcome. Publishing the number while withholding what the same record says would be the least defensible option; attaching a regulatory finding to a person on an uncorroborated surname match would be worse. The dentist stays in the roster under the name the clinic publishes, and the register record is not cited about the individual. |
| 2026-09-08 | 150 Elgin Dental | Checked by hand in a browser: the clinic’s Google Maps place page was opened in a real browser and read on both its Reviews and Overview tabs.

| 2026-09-08 | Dentistry on King | Reputation measured live on 2026-09-08, which opened this clinic’s Google Maps place page in a real browser on both its Reviews and Overview tabs. This card also enters the canada country directory as a twin and carries no entry in data/research/*.json, so import-research.js never touched it and respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns had never been assessed at all. Written now: googleRating 4.9 → 4.9 (unchanged, re-verified); googleReviewCount 549 → 552 (histogram 533/5/1/2/11 = 552, weighted mean 4.897); reviewRecency within_3_months (unchanged, now proved on a measured sample); respondsToReviews null → true; recurringComplaints null → false; suspiciousReviewPatterns null → false. The histogram sums to the place-page header count exactly and its weighted mean reproduces the published rating to one decimal. The published opening week and the lead owner photograph were read on the same visit and corroborate the values the card already carries, which are left untouched. Fields this pass did not measure are untouched. The country twin was re-synchronised from this card in the same step; the two copies are identical except for the twin’s city key. |

| 2026-09-07 | Hemlock Dental Clinic | Initial data collection (automated): clinic site read in full including the dentist page, financial policy and the implant cost guide; Google place page read automatically; the single named dentist confirmed in the BCCOHP public register; the five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass; index quality probed with a name-quoted search query. Reputation fields other than the rating and the count are left for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the platform-presence and TripAdvisor fields, which rested on search-result snippets, were returned to unchecked with the platforms that were actually opened named, and the sedation level was corrected to a checked negative because the clinic publishes oral sedation only. |
| 2026-09-07 | Kent Street Dental Centre | Initial data collection (no browser): clinic site read page by page for services, the named dentist, contacts, hours and fees; the live Google place record read through the automated map endpoint for rating, categories and pin coordinates, which also carries the network campaign tag on the listed website URL; the named dentist matched in the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario public register by the practice name and suite address printed on his record, with the three different published phone numbers and the register concern link disclosed; a name query used for indexing quality and independent listings; the four canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass. Review count, recency and the complaint and manipulation readings are left null and queued for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the review count missing from the earlier run was read from the live place record (253, matching the hellodent syndication), the Ontario register record was opened and cited — it settles cone-beam CT and the sedation level as checked negatives and publishes a 2026 complaints-and-reports outcome on the named dentist, now disclosed in the summary — and the clinic licence citation now names the Ontario regulator. |
| 2026-09-07 | Macleod Trail Dental | Initial data collection (no browser): clinic site read page by page for services, named dentists, contacts, financing and fees; the live Google place record read through the automated map endpoint for rating, categories and pin coordinates; all three named dentists matched in the College of Dental Surgeons of Alberta public register, one by the suite address printed on the permit; a name query used for indexing quality and independent listings; the four canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass. Review count, recency and the complaint and manipulation readings are left null and queued for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the review count missing from the earlier run was read from the live place record (1,030), radiography became a checked positive on the clinic own service wording, cone-beam CT a checked negative, the sedation page was added as a source, and the Acadia location page stopped being an uncited source. |
| 2026-09-07 | Méthodologie 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 | Pathways Dental Clinic | Initial data collection (no browser): clinic site read page by page for services, named dentists, contacts and fees; the live Google place record read through the automated map endpoint for rating, review count, categories and pin coordinates; all three named dentists matched in the College of Dental Surgeons of Alberta public register, two of them by the practice address printed on the permit; a name query used for indexing quality and independent listings; the four canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass. The reputation block beyond rating and count is left null and queued for a manual browser check. |
| 2026-09-07 | Pathways Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification (no browser): all four mandatory sweeps run on the card; every cited URL re-fetched for liveness; the Google rating and coordinates re-read independently from the live place record and confirmed; the licensing block re-run against the province statutory register; TripAdvisor probed directly and found unreadable to an automated client. On this card, cone-beam CT was settled as a checked negative on the clinic channel, radiography was left unchecked with its reason, the sedation level was corrected to a checked negative on the practice own description of its IV sedation as conscious sedation, and the TripAdvisor field gained its reason. |
| 2026-09-07 | Preston Dental Centre | Initial data collection (no browser): clinic site read page by page for services, named staff, contacts, hours and fees; the live Google place record read through the automated map endpoint for rating, category and pin coordinates; all three named dentists matched in the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario public register, two of them by the suite address and phone printed on the record; a name query used for indexing quality and independent listings; the four canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass, with the Ottawa, Illinois contamination of one of them recorded. Premises photography, review count, recency and the complaint and manipulation readings are left null and queued for a manual browser check. |
| 2026-09-07 | Preston Dental Centre | Adversarial verification (no browser): all four mandatory sweeps run on the card; every cited URL re-fetched for liveness; the Google rating and coordinates re-read independently from the live place record and confirmed; the licensing block re-run against the province statutory register; TripAdvisor probed directly and found unreadable to an automated client. On this card, the Ontario register record for the practice was opened and cited directly: it settles cone-beam CT as a checked negative and the sedation level as a checked negative, and it adds a Type A sedation facility permit to the summary. The Sassi identification was re-run and its caveat, including what the register publishes on that record, was written down. The clinic licence citation now names the Ontario regulator. |
| 2026-09-07 | River Dental | Initial data collection (no browser): clinic site read page by page in English for services, named dentists, premises, contacts, hours and fees; the live Google place record read through the automated map endpoint for rating, categories and pin coordinates; both named dentists matched in the Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario public register, each corroborated by the second office their clinic biography names; a name query used for indexing quality and independent listings, with two same-name Ottawa practices noted; the four canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass. Review count, recency and the complaint and manipulation readings are left null and queued for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the two dentist identifications were re-grounded on the register corporate section, which prints this card exact address and telephone for the Audet and Simon professional corporation; cone-beam CT, sedation and the paediatric field were settled as checked negatives; the clinic licence citation now names the Ontario regulator. |
| 2026-09-07 | Van Dental Clinic | Initial data collection (automated): clinic site read in full including the our-clinic and contact pages; Google place page read automatically; both named dentists confirmed in the BCCOHP public register; the five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass; index quality probed with a name-quoted search query. Reputation fields other than the rating and the count are left for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the platform-presence field was re-sourced from the TrustAnalytica review page instead of a search-result snippet and the TripAdvisor field was returned to unchecked. |
| 2026-09-07 | Vancouver Dental Implant Center | Initial data collection (automated): clinic site read in full including both doctor pages, the contact page and the implant cost page; Google place page read automatically (rating captured, review count not returned in eight attempts); both named dentists confirmed in the BCCOHP public register; the five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility pass; index quality probed with a name-quoted search query. Reputation fields other than the rating are left for a manual browser check. |

On this card, the Facebook field was re-sourced from the clinic own page, the platform-presence and TripAdvisor fields were returned to unchecked, and the missing review count was re-attempted across fifteen further query forms and three other Google surfaces without success. |
| 2026-09-03 | Méthodologie 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 | Dentistry on King | License verification 2026-08-26 against RCDSO: Dr. Mahan Alavi found as a Member (#109112), a unique name match in Toronto, though the registry's primary-practice address (Market Dental) differs from the clinic's own address. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentix24 Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-26: clinic website names its dentists by first name only (Hamed, Leila, Yazden, Rob), with no surnames published, so none could be matched to a specific RCDSO registration — all left null rather than false. |
| 2026-08-26 | Midtown Dental Centre | License verification 2026-08-26 against RCDSO: all 4 named doctors matched a single, unambiguous RCDSO Member record; Dr. Ramlaggan's registry primary practice matches the clinic exactly, the other 3 are registered at different primary addresses. Dr. Perelgut's record shows a pending-discipline flag on the RCDSO register. |
| 2026-08-26 | Uptowne Dental Centre | License verification 2026-08-26 against RCDSO: all 3 named doctors matched a single, unambiguous RCDSO Member record; Dr. Singer's registry primary practice matches the clinic exactly, Dr. Segall's and Dr. Poon's registry primary-practice addresses are at different offices. |
| 2026-08-26 | Yonge Eglinton Dental | License verification 2026-08-26 against RCDSO: all 3 named doctors matched a single, unambiguous RCDSO Member record, each with Yonge Eglinton Dental Centre as their registry primary practice. Dr. Katsnelson's record shows a conditions/complaints flag on the RCDSO register. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentistry on King | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed. Google Maps rating steady at 4.9 but review count grew sharply from 300 to 549; recorded Maps place URL and pin coordinates (newly captured). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentistry on King | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dentist is certified to provide moderate IV sedation (conscious/responsive), not general anaesthesia or deep sleep. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentix24 Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed (open 24 hours). Newly captured Google rating 4.9; review count grew from 239 to 605. Recorded Maps place URL and pin coordinates (newly captured). |
| 2026-08-25 | Dentix24 Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site states clinic offers deep sedation and general anesthesia, administered/overseen by anesthesiologists. |
| 2026-08-25 | Méthodologie 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 | Midtown Dental Centre | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed. Newly captured Google rating 4.8 (437 reviews), Maps place URL and pin coordinates (previously unset). Maps listing shows business name as "Midtown Dental" (site header also uses this); the stored name "Midtown Dental Centre" left unchanged pending confirmation. |
| 2026-08-25 | Midtown Dental Centre | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Oral, nitrous & IV sedation offered; site says patients remain awake, 'fully conscious and responsive' throughout. |
| 2026-08-25 | Uptowne Dental Centre | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed. Newly captured Google rating 5.0 (751 reviews), Maps place URL and pin coordinates (previously unset). |
| 2026-08-25 | Uptowne Dental Centre | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers nitrous oxide and oral sedation; site says patient breathes independently and stays in control of bodily functions. |
| 2026-08-25 | Yonge Eglinton Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, not permanently closed. Google Maps rating steady at 4.9 but review count grew from 663 to 678; recorded Maps place URL and pin coordinates (newly captured). |
| 2026-08-23 | Méthodologie 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. |
