Changelog
Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.
| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-03 | Methodology 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 | ARC Dental Clinic Bali | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (open, unchanged); added Google rating 4.5/188 and phone +62 361 4727824 (both previously unset), with pin/place URL; added Honeycombers and bestdentistbali.com as external sources (the latter also flags some billing-related complaints worth future monitoring, not yet corroborated further); cited the previously-uncited s2 (expatchoice.asia) to reputation.onOtherPlatforms, which it directly supports; visibility scout 5 queries - appears only for the implants query via its own ranking page. |

Harry Iskandar); visibility scout 5 queries - not present in any top results; no uncited sources to triage beyond the already-cited PDGI licensing source. |
| 2026-08-26 | Fidelity Dental Bali | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/rating/operating status (open, unchanged address/phone); review count updated to 244 (was 218), added pin/place URL and Maps link (previously null); confirmed dentist names (previously null) from own site; added 3 independent external sources (Honeycombers, balidoneright.com, bestdentistbali.com); visibility scout 5 queries - appears for bestDentist/implants/emergency/expats; pruned s2 (smilejet.app top-10 listing page, checked today, no longer shows Fidelity-specific data and was never cited). |

| 2026-08-26 | Hydro Medical (Dental) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (open, unchanged); added Google rating for the Subak Sari Canggu location (4.9/52, plus 4.9/314 for the Batu Bolong branch) - previously unset; despite a genuine search effort (Bing, expat-guide site-searches, Facebook/Instagram) no independent, clinic-specific external source beyond Google Maps and the clinic's own site could be found for this multi-branch medical-group brand, so the >=2-external-source bar is not met today; visibility scout 5 queries - appears only for the emergency-dentist query; no uncited sources to triage (only s1 exists). |
| 2026-08-26 | Kalm Dental Care | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (open, unchanged); added Google rating 4.9/258 (previously unset) with pin/place URL; confirmed dentist names (previously null: Dr. Irene, Dr. Dewi, Dr. Anda) via the existing Trustindex source, now cited; added bestdentistbali.com as a 2nd independent external source; visibility scout 5 queries - appears for bestDentist (local pack) and implants (own pages); cited the previously-uncited s2 (Trustindex) to reputation.onOtherPlatforms, which it directly supports. |

| 2026-08-26 | Rejuvie Dental Bali | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/rating/operating status (open, unchanged); recorded direct Maps rating for the Kuta branch (4.7/85, pin/place URL) since the stored Sanur-branch aggregator (doctor.global, s2) is now unreachable - pruned s2; cited the existing but previously-uncited Trustindex source (s3) to reputation.recurringComplaints, which it directly supports (rushed-treatment and quick-cleaning complaints); added Honeycombers as a 2nd independent external source; visibility scout 5 queries - appears for bestDentist and expats. |

| 2026-08-25 | Bali Family Dental Care (BFDC) | License verification 2026-08-25 against PDGI (Persatuan Dokter Gigi Indonesia) e-Sertifikasi: the three named staff (Adhi, Tamara, Ayu) are bare first names/nicknames with no surname published by the clinic, so PDGI's name search returns too many or zero unambiguous nationwide matches to confirm identity — left null rather than false per the transliteration/ambiguity rule. No mapped Indonesian registry has clinic/establishment scope, so clinicLicense was not searched. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bali International Dental Center (BIDC) | License verification 2026-08-25 against PDGI e-Sertifikasi: found a single exact-name-match active PDGI registration for Sucipto Angga Husada (Cabang Denpasar, Anggota Aktif) matching the clinic's implant-dentistry lead/clinic founder. No mapped Indonesian registry has clinic/establishment scope, so clinicLicense was not searched. |
| 2026-08-25 | BIMC Hospital Dental Centre (Nusa Dua) | License verification 2026-08-25 against PDGI e-Sertifikasi: 2 of 3 named dentists (Harry Iskandar, Regina Sylvie Saputri) have active PDGI registrations matching branch and specialization; drg. Putu Ari Listya Nurina's PDGI registration (unique exact-name match, Cabang Denpasar) is shown by the registry as 'Tidak Aktif' (inactive) as of today. No mapped Indonesian registry has clinic/establishment scope, so clinicLicense was not searched for any of these clinics. |
| 2026-08-25 | KYND Dental Care | License verification 2026-08-25 against PDGI e-Sertifikasi: both named staff (Tomi, Manik) are bare first names with no surname published by the clinic; PDGI searches returned multiple same-branch (Badung) candidates for each with no way to confirm which, if any, is the intended person, so left null rather than false. No mapped Indonesian registry has clinic/establishment scope, so clinicLicense was not searched. |
| 2026-08-25 | Methodology 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 | Sunset Dental Bali | License verification 2026-08-25 against PDGI e-Sertifikasi 'Cek Dokter Gigi': found an active PDGI registration for 'Suriansyah Tenggara' (Cabang Badung, Dokter Gigi Spesialis Prostodonsia, Anggota Aktif) matching the clinic's founder Dr. Suriansyah by specialization and branch. No mapped Indonesian registry has clinic/establishment scope, so clinicLicense was not searched. |
| 2026-08-23 | Methodology 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 | Methodology 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 | Methodology v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
