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 | 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. |
| 2026-10-05 | Akra Dental Clinics | onOtherPlatforms true → false: the AdvisorLB page it rested on has no reviews of its own and nothing showing that the clinic manages it. No profile found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot. |

| 2026-09-30 | Dr. Ahmad El Zein Dental Care Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Facebook page (About, services and all posts) and its Google listing: mobile number and Facebook page added to the contacts; the dentist's specializations, service list and clear contact details recorded from the Facebook page, and the dentist's name, address and the absence of a website now rest on it. Recorded: no prices are published on either channel. |
| 2026-09-30 | Dr. Sandra Maalouf - Me & My Tooth Pediatric Dental Clinic | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by the dentist's name with the city and by the dentist's name in Arabic; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-30 | Ferrari Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the group's two websites (all pages), the Jounieh clinic's Google listing and the group's and the founder's Facebook pages (posts of the past year): none publishes a price. Corrected: published prices and the crown, implant and consultation prices to not published. |
| 2026-09-30 | Maalouf Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages), Google listing and Facebook page: the free consultation now rests on the website. Corrected: published prices and the implant price to not published, as none of these channels gives a price. |
| 2026-09-30 | Medic8 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city, by its name with the country and by its address; none of the searches found a page of the clinic. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-30 | Medic8 | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages) and Google listing: website corrected to present, as medic-8.com carries pages on the clinic's services, technologies and contacts beside unfinished template pages, and recorded as English; website and phone added to the contacts. Service list, contacts and address now rest on these channels, and the dentists' names on the clinic's own reply to a Google review. Corrected: published prices and the implant and consultation prices to not published, and dentist specializations to unverified. |
| 2026-09-30 | Michel P. Jazzar Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the dentist's own website (all pages), Google listing and Facebook page: dentist specializations corrected to stated (a state doctorate in dental surgery from Bordeaux, oral surgery and implant training); name, services, contacts and address now rest on these channels; Facebook page added to the contacts. Corrected: published prices and the cleaning, crown, implant and consultation prices to not published, as none of the channels gives a price. |
| 2026-09-30 | Saatdjian Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (in full), Google listing, Facebook page and Instagram: phone and Facebook page added to the contacts; the dentist's name, service list, contacts and address now rest on them, and no qualification or price list is published. Corrected: consultation price to not published, as no own channel states one. |
| 2026-09-30 | Smile Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Google listing and Facebook page (About and the posts of the past year): phone and Facebook page added to the contacts; the dentist's name, contacts, address and the absence of a website now rest on them. Corrected: service list and consultation price now unverified, as neither channel publishes them and the clinic's Instagram could not be read in full. |
| 2026-09-30 | Smile Dental Clinics | Read the clinic's Instagram in full on 2026-09-30 (every post of the past 12 months and its highlight albums): no prices are published there or on its Facebook page; its highlight albums list its treatments by name, including children's dentistry, and its profile presents the dentist as an aesthetic dentist; with no website, there is no English website version. |
| 2026-09-30 | Smile Poly Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages), Google listing and Facebook page: the website names six dentists with their qualifications and publishes the service list, contacts and address; the Google listing states a free consultation. Corrected: published prices to not published, as none of these channels publishes a price list. |
| 2026-09-29 | Akra Dental Clinics | Corrected 2026-09-29: clear service explanations now unverified: the only evidence was an archived copy of the clinic's website from 2025-03-29, more than a year old; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 8 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Akra Dental Clinics | Read the clinic's full site (Home, About, all six specialty pages, Technology, Laboratory, Contact). Recorded: no price figures anywhere and no dedicated pricing page; no emergency or international-patient wording; a genuine (non-stock) treatment-room photo; a generic contact form without service or time selection; no WhatsApp/Line contact link; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic listing. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dr. Ahmad El Zein Dental Care Clinic | Found the clinic's own Facebook page by name search; name and city match the card exactly. Recorded a confirmed Facebook presence. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dr. Ahmad El Zein Dental Care Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: dentist specializations listed, clear contact details, 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 | Dr. Sandra Maalouf - Me & My Tooth Pediatric Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: real clinic photos 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 | Hosni Dental Center | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 5 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet; 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 | Lebanon Dental Studio | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established; review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-06-01). |
| 2026-09-29 | Lounge Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-29 | Maalouf Dental Clinic | Re-checked on 2026-09-29 whether the clinic has an identifiable Facebook page: a search of Facebook found the clinic's own page, address matching Zahle. |
| 2026-09-29 | Michel P. Jazzar Dental Clinics | Re-read the clinic's own website and public listings on 2026-09-29. Recorded: hasXray. |
| 2026-09-29 | Michel P. Jazzar Dental Clinics | Re-checked on 2026-09-29 whether the clinic has an identifiable Facebook page: a search of Facebook found the clinic's own page, address matching Jounieh. |
| 2026-09-29 | Nassar Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: 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 older than a year (newest review dated 2025-07-15). |

| 2026-09-29 | Saatdjian Dental Clinics | Re-checked on 2026-09-29 whether the clinic has an identifiable Facebook page: a search of Facebook found the clinic's own page under its exact name. |
| 2026-09-29 | Samarani Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-09-29 | Smile Dental Clinics | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-06-23). |

| 2026-09-29 | Smile Dental Clinics | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | White 32 Dental Clinic | Re-checked on 2026-09-29 whether the clinic has an identifiable Facebook page (the site itself carries no Facebook link): a search of Facebook found the clinic's own page, its username matching the clinic's website domain. |
| 2026-09-24 | Akra Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing. Its live website could not be read on this date, so an archived copy dated 2025-03-29 was used only to confirm that its service descriptions explain each procedure rather than just naming it. Prices, equipment, WhatsApp contact, international-patient claims and presence on TripAdvisor or other review platforms remain unverified pending a live read of the site. Corrected: the "no recurring complaints" finding was withdrawn: 3 of the 8 Google reviews are 1-2 stars and two of them carry no text, so a repeated complaint can be neither confirmed nor ruled out. |
| 2026-09-24 | Bizri Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (home, doctors, Hollywood smile, Miles for Smiles, clinic tour, spotlight, blog, contact and appointment pages; no sitemap exists) and its Google listing. Recorded genuine treatment-room photos on the Google listing. Confirmed that no prices are published anywhere on the site and that only one short treatment page exists. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Equipment and detailed services remain unverified because the site's service content is limited to three short technology blurbs (laser, sedation, CAD/CAM). Corrected: the "no recurring complaints" finding was withdrawn: 4 of the 17 Google reviews are 1-2 stars (dated December 2025 to August 2026) and raise different issues or none, so a repeated complaint can be neither confirmed nor ruled out. |
| 2026-09-24 | Dr. Ahmad El Zein Dental Care Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website. Recorded a genuine treatment-room photo and Saturday opening hours; confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. The listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible and its categories cannot count as the clinic's own documentation. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found; a Facebook page could not be confirmed. |
| 2026-09-24 | Dr. Sandra Maalouf - Me & My Tooth Pediatric Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website. Recorded a 5.0 rating from its single review, dated 2026-09-16. Confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. The listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible; its only photo is a promotional logo graphic rather than a real premises photo. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. |
| 2026-09-24 | Habli Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's single-page website (comprehensive service list, team, contact) and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine named-doctor and premises photos, business-entity structured data, and hours open on Saturday and to 7 PM on weekdays. No prices, no CBCT, no emergency care and no online booking widget are documented, though a WhatsApp chat button is available. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. |
| 2026-09-24 | Hosni Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website (its listed website field is a Facebook page). Recorded a genuine treatment-room photo, Saturday opening hours, and confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. The listing is unclaimed, so its service categories cannot be counted as the clinic's own documentation; specialisations, equipment, languages and online booking remain unverified. |
| 2026-09-24 | Maalouf Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (6 service pages, contact, about and appointment pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: dental X-rays and implant surgery listed among the clinic's services, hours closing at 7 PM on weekdays, 6 separate service pages, and a reply from the practice to a recent Google review; Google review count updated to 198 (rating 5.0). No emergency care and no WhatsApp contact are documented; the site's "pricelist" downloads turned out to be unedited template files with no real prices. No TripAdvisor listing was found; a genuine Facebook page could not be confirmed (the only social links found belong to the website's theme vendor). |
| 2026-09-24 | Medic8 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the website address listed on the clinic's Google profile (medic-8.com) currently shows only unfinished template pages and a demo news section with no information about the clinic, so the clinic is recorded as having no working website. Recorded a genuine reception-desk photo from the Google listing and confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable. No TripAdvisor presence found. Equipment, services detail and online contact channels remain unverified without a real website. |
| 2026-09-24 | Michel P. Jazzar Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's own website (a doctor bio and booking site) and its Google listing. Recorded: an online booking page for implant surgery with a clear explanation of the procedure; genuine photos (owner photos of the waiting area on the Google listing, a team photo on the site); the Google listing has zero reviews. Corrected: the clinic is open on Saturday mornings (9 AM-1 PM on its Google listing and in the site's booking calendar). No filling or X-ray prices and no WhatsApp contact are published on the clinic's own site. No TripAdvisor listing was found; a Facebook page could not be confirmed (the only social link found belongs to the website-builder platform, not the clinic). |
| 2026-09-24 | Nassar Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, as it has no website. Confirmed no prices are published anywhere reachable, and recorded Saturday opening hours. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. The listing is unclaimed, so equipment, services detail and online contact channels remain unverified. |
| 2026-09-24 | Saatdjian Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's own website (a single-page site found via its Google listing, not previously on file), which was rendered from its JavaScript bundle since the raw HTML is an empty shell, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic does have a website. Recorded: a genuine photo of the dentist with a patient, an English-only site, a welcoming-of-international-patients statement, and short explanations for each of 6 listed services. No prices, no WhatsApp contact, no structured business data and no separate service pages are present; opening hours are weekdays only, closing at 5 PM. No TripAdvisor listing was found. |
| 2026-09-24 | Smile Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing (photos, reviews) as it has no website. Recorded genuine premises photos on the Google listing. No prices are published anywhere reachable (no website; Google profile carries none), and no TripAdvisor listing was found. Most other facts remain unverified because the clinic has no website or social page to read. |
| 2026-09-24 | Smile Poly Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's own website (found via its Google listing; not previously on file), which covers services, technology, international patients, FAQ and contact pages, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic does have a website, and its phone number was updated to match the site and Google listing. Recorded: genuine staff photos, English-language site, Facebook page, CBCT/panoramic imaging, WhatsApp booking, an international/diaspora-patients page, and clear explanations for each of 8 listed services. The clinic's blog documents an emergency service for urgent cases and same-day pain relief. No price figures appear anywhere, including on a blog post that explicitly avoids quoting a number. No TripAdvisor listing was found. Still unverified: whether real photos beyond the team page are genuine premises shots. |
| 2026-09-24 | White 32 Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's single-page website (about, specialities, team, contact) and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine named-staff photos, an English-only site, and an empty Google review count confirmed live. No prices, no emergency care and no online booking are documented; WhatsApp is not linked despite Facebook/Instagram icons pointing nowhere. No TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. A linked Facebook page could not be confirmed and is left unverified. |
| 2026-09-11 | Ferrari Dental Clinic | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 2 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-05-29. |
| 2026-09-11 | Habli Dental Clinic | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 2 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2022-04-04. |
| 2026-09-11 | Maalouf Dental Clinic | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading its Google listing on 2026-09-11: none of the 5 reviews that opened carries a reply, and with 180 of the 185 published reviews unread the criterion was left unscored instead of credited. |
| 2026-09-11 | Medic8 | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 8 of the 8 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2026-07-31. |
| 2026-09-11 | Smile Dental Clinics | Rechecked whether this practice answers its Google reviews by reading the reviews on its own Google listing on 2026-09-11: confirmed, 2 of the 5 reviews read carry a dated reply from the practice, the newest dated 2023-12-12. |
| 2026-09-11 | Smile Poly Clinic | 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 2026-08-09. |
| 2026-09-10 | Ferrari Dental Clinic | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (N-R2): the group’s own /team/ page names only the founder individually, so it cannot deny the five associate dentists this card carries; the card’s cited WhatClinic listing was re-read on 2026-09-10 and still names all five as staff of the Jounieh location. The listing was re-cited on each of the five and nothing was removed. |
| 2026-09-10 | Maalouf Dental Clinic | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (N-R2): the clinic’s home and about pages were read in full on 2026-09-10 and carry no staff roster — both are built around the founder — so they can neither confirm nor deny Dr. Rebecca Bteiche, and the card’s source for her, the clinic’s Instagram, needs a logged-in browser. Left unchanged and queued for a manual browser check. |
| 2026-09-10 | Michel P. Jazzar Dental Clinics | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10 (lot A-4): Michel P. Jazzar confirmed on the clinic's own site (micheljazzar.mystrikingly.com); source added alongside the existing WhatClinic aggregator citation. |
| 2026-09-09 | Akra Dental Clinics | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The clinic's own technology page lists "Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)"; nitrous oxide leaves the patient awake and does not meet the general-anaesthesia or deep-sedation bar. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-03 | Akra Dental Clinics | Browser spot-check: akradentalclinics.com, previously unreachable behind a 403, was opened in a browser and the card rebuilt from it — hasWebsite null -> true, dentistNamesListed REFUTED false -> true (seven named dentists), addressAndMap REFUTED false -> true, plus specializations, service list, contacts, English version, X-ray, CBCT, sedation, four service criteria, opening hours, dedicated service pages, hasStructuredData false and the clinic Facebook page; Google rating re-read live (3.4 / 8, unchanged). |
| 2026-09-03 | Akra Dental Clinics | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 3/2/0/1/2); responds=false, complaints=false, suspicious=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Bizri Dental Center | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live on the Maps place page (4.0 / 17, unchanged); the published star histogram was recorded with them. |
| 2026-09-03 | Bizri Dental Center | Reputation pass: the Maps place page's Reviews tab was read in a browser (8 reviews visible in relevance order, histogram 12/0/1/1/3); reviewRecency=within_3_months, responds=false, complaints=false, suspicious=false. Rating and review count reproduced from the histogram, unchanged. |
| 2026-09-03 | Chtaura Specialized Dental Clinic (Abou Hamdan Dental Clinics) | Browser spot-check: Google rating and review count re-read live (5.0 / 65, unchanged); reviewRecency and respondsToReviews set from the Maps review list. |

| 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | Khoury Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Own site's IV-sedation page: patient stays 'conscious but deeply relaxed'; site contrasts this with GA which 'makes you fully unconscious'. GA not offered. |
| 2026-08-25 | Khoury Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against MOPH Health Facility Locator and LDA Search Members: MOPH's open registry has no dental-clinic category (only Dental Lab), so clinicLicense is null (registry does not cover this facility type); LDA (the dentists registry) did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) on every path, so both doctors' licenses are null (registry inaccessible). |
| 2026-08-25 | Lebanon Dental Studio | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged and clinic open; rating 4.9 already stored is confirmed, and Google review count (94, not previously recorded) is now captured. Google Maps lists the business under the practitioner's name (Dr Rita Kanbar Dentist), consistent with this single-doctor practice. |
| 2026-08-25 | Lebanon Dental Studio | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) so Dr. Rita Kanbar's license is null. |

| 2026-08-25 | Lounge Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) so Dr. Alain Romanos's license is null. |
| 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 | Samarani Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: corrected address - samaraniclinic.com lists locations in Byblos/Jbeil and Sin-El-Fil, not the stored 'Verdun Plaza, Verdun, Beirut'; the clinic's only Google Maps listing is the Byblos location (Moussa Farhat Center, Voie 13, 3rd floor), which we used as the mappable address. Stored phone (+961 3 566020) matches the site and was kept; Maps additionally shows a Byblos-specific number (+961 9 545 678). Clinic confirmed open. Captured Google rating 5.0 (339 reviews). |
| 2026-08-25 | Samarani Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) so all four named doctors' licenses are null. |
| 2026-08-25 | Smile Avenue Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged and clinic open; captured Google rating 5.0 (66 reviews, most recent review 1 month ago). |
| 2026-08-25 | Smile Avenue Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry has no dental-clinic category so clinicLicense is null; LDA dentists registry did not serve its pages (HTTP 403) so Dr. Omar Hasbini's license is null. |
| 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. |
| 2026-07-08 | Méthodologie 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 | Méthodologie v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
