2026-08-26Clínica Dental Rosel (Rosel Quijano)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (4.7, 162 reviews), phone, and WhatsApp link; added 2 new independent sources (SmileJet 4.7/104, Doctoralia 615 opinions) confirming multi-platform reputation; visibility scout 5 queries (1 true, for 'dental implants Merida'); cited uncited own-site source s2 (confirmed live, gives address/doctors/sedation detail) to addressAndMap; sedation research found explicit 'sedación consciente' (conscious sedation) - recorded false in the sedation file per the strict bar.
2026-08-26Clínica Dental Rosel (Rosel Quijano)Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers 'sedación consciente' (conscious sedation) explicitly labeled as such - patient stays conscious, not general anesthesia/deep sedation
2026-08-26CODY - Central Odontológica de YucatánDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts/Maps; found a live official website (codyscp.com, previously unset) which lists 'sedación, anestesia local' among services and a WhatsApp line; Google review count rose to 59 from 51, rating steady at 4.6; added WhatClinic (4.8/2) as new source; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); uncited source s2 (buscodentista.com.mx) returned HTTP 403 (bot-blocked) today, could not verify content - left untouched, not pruned.
2026-08-26Dental Implant YucatánDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts; own site (dentalimplantyucatan.com) is live, names Dr. Ricardo Peniche as lead specialist and gives the identical CMA address/suite (Calle 54 365 interior 314) as the separate worklist entry 'Peniche Implantology' - together with implantologiayucatan.com's 301-redirect to this same domain, this is strong evidence the two worklist entries are now the same consolidated practice/web presence (flagged for site-owner review, not merged here); captured a new phone (+52 999 127 0391, distinct from Peniche's stored +52 999 926 4434 - may be a separate department line within CMA); could not find this practice under its own name as a distinct Google Maps listing (only the 'Dr. Ricardo Peniche Rodríguez' listing exists at this address), so no independent googleRating was recorded for this slug; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no uncited sources existed to triage (its single source, s1, is already cited); no qualifying new independent 3rd-party source found today.
2026-08-26Dentalia AltabrisaDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (3.9, 138 reviews, notably lower than most other worklist clinics) and a toll-free phone (+52 800 003 3682); the clinic's own location page (uncited s2) instead lists a direct line 999 211 0274, noted rather than substituted; cited s2 (live, confirms Altabrisa shopping-center location/hours) to addressAndMap; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no qualifying new independent source found today.
2026-08-26Dentaly Clínica DentalDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; Google review count grew to 599 from 557, rating steady at 4.9; added SmileJet (4.9/194) as new independent source; visibility scout 5 queries (2 true, 'prominent dentist' and 'emergency dentist'); cited uncited source s2 (trust.sistemia.mx, live, corroborates review-aggregator presence) to onOtherPlatforms - its own cached count (557) is now stale versus today's live Google figure (599), so it was not reused for the rating datum itself.
2026-08-26Dr. Pedro Durán Smile DesignerDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (5.0, 53 reviews) and phone (+52 999 547 9110) from a Google Business listing 'pedro duran smiledesigner' whose domain matches the stored practice name, but that listing's address (C. 16, San Antonio Cucul, 97113) differs from the stored address (Plaza Town Square, Col. San Ramón, 97138) - possible relocation; left the address field unchanged pending stronger confirmation since the listed website (pedroduransmiledesigner.com) fails to resolve (DNS error) and could not corroborate; pruned uncited source s2 (topdoctors.mx doctor page, HTTP 404 - dead, consistent with the existing licensing note that both TopDoctors pages for this clinic now 404); visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no qualifying new independent source found today - this practice has no working own website to anchor further verification.
2026-08-26GIO Clinic (Grupo Interdisciplinario Odontológico)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; the clinic's Google Business Profile and current live website now present as 'GIO Alineadores Invisibles en Mérida' (GIO Invisible Aligners) rather than the stored 'GIO Clinic' name, but confirmed at the same address (Star Médica, Calle 26 199, Col. Altabrisa) - flagging as a likely rebrand/aligners-focused sub-brand, not a different business; captured first Google rating (5.0, 66 reviews, very active - most recent review ~4 days old), phone, and website; one review from ~10 months ago alleges being overcharged as a foreigner (isolated, within an otherwise 5.0-rated profile - noted, not added as a formal red flag); cited uncited source s2 (dentalmexico.com, live, itemized USD pricing) to addressAndMap and newly set pricesPublished=true from it; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true).
2026-08-26Grupo Dental ARBODeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (4.5, 23 reviews) - the visible reviews shown are all 5-6 years old, suggesting low recent Google review activity worth flagging; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); cited uncited source s2 (DentalDepartures, live, confirms Dr. Carolina Zozaya's English/French/Spanish fluency) to englishSpoken; no qualifying new independent source found today despite search effort.
2026-08-26Merida Smiles by Ideal Dental (Ideal Dental Center)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; corrected Google rating to 4.9 from 31 reviews (direct Google check) - materially lower than the previously recorded 5.0/124, which traced to a third-party aggregator; captured phone (+52 999 422 8839), independently corroborated by the exact same number in 2 separate Bing local-pack listings under 'Ideal Dental' / 'Dental Clinic and Implants - Medical Tourism' during the visibility scout; added WhatClinic (5.0/1) as new source; visibility scout 5 queries (3 true); cited uncited source s2 (DentalDepartures, live, confirms bilingual/ASL team, doctor names, and lists 'sedation dentistry' among services without depth detail) to englishSpoken/dentistNamesListed.
2026-08-26Peniche Implantology (Dr. Ricardo Peniche)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked contacts/Maps; captured first-ever Google rating (4.8, 19 reviews) and a live website - implantologiayucatan.com now 301-redirects to dentalimplantyucatan.com, the SAME domain used by the separate worklist entry 'Dental Implant Yucatán', and that site names Dr. Ricardo Peniche at the identical CMA address (Calle 54 365 interior 314); strong evidence the two worklist entries are now the same consolidated practice/web presence (flagged for site-owner review, not merged here); pruned uncited source s2 (dental-news.org, domain no longer resolves/DNS failure - dead); visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no qualifying new independent source found today beyond the practice's own newly-identified website.
2026-08-26Smart Smile Clínica DentalDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; found a live official website (smartsmile.mx, previously unset) and first Google rating (4.8, 17 reviews); reviews name lead dentist Dr. Ignacio Ávalos with ~20 years in practice; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true); no uncited sources existed to triage for this clinic (its single source, s1, is already cited); no qualifying new independent 3rd-party source found today beyond Google/own site.
2026-08-26Soluciones Dentales MéridaDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; rating eased to 4.8 from 4.9 while review count rose to 181 from 160; captured phone (+52 999 200 6926); the Google Business listing's address (C. 43 510, Sol Campestre, 97113) differs from the stored address (Av. Correa Racho, 97130) - possible relocation or listing drift, left the address field unchanged pending stronger confirmation; added SmileJet (4.8/93) as new source; confirmed the stored DentalDepartures URL (s2) is live, newly setting hasWebsite=true; visibility scout 5 queries (0 true).
2026-08-26Whiteline Clínica DentalDeepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; Google rating rose to 5.0 from 303 reviews (was 4.9/98), most recent reviews ~5 months old; added 2 new independent sources (WhatClinic 4.9/12, SmileJet 4.9/240) confirming multi-platform reputation; visibility scout 5 queries (3 true); cited uncited own-site source s2 to englishVersion/englishSpoken; s3 (Yelp) returned HTTP 403 (bot-blocked) today, could not verify content - left untouched, not pruned.
2026-08-26Yucatan Dental (Dra. Claudia)Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/Maps; captured first Google rating (5.0, 40 reviews) from the Google Business listing at the exact stored address (Calle 53 518-B), though that listing is titled 'Dr. Jesús Sánchez Ruz. YUCATANDENTAL Original' with phone +52 999 910 0890 - differs from the stored 'Dra. Claudia' identity and stored phone +52 999 924 9895; the clinic's own live site (yucatandental.com) does name a dentist 'Claudia C. Flota Gallareta,' consistent with a multi-dentist practice sharing one address/Google listing - left the stored phone unchanged, noting the Maps-listed alternate number; visibility scout 5 queries (2 true, both via the address-matched Google listing); cited uncited source s2 (yucatandental.com, live, confirms doctor name and address) to dentistNamesListed/addressAndMap.

2026-08-25Methodology v1.3.0Corrected 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.
2026-08-25Peniche Implantology (Dr. Ricardo Peniche)License verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES and RNP: both unreachable/non-functional today, and this practice has no own website to check for a self-published number.

2026-08-23Methodology v1.2.0Added 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.
2026-07-08Methodology v1.1.0Added 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.
