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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Bali Family Dental Care (BFDC) | Dentist names reassessed on 2026-10-16 under the clarified rule (methodology 1.4.2): a name counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register. The clinic names its dentists by first name only, so dentist names no longer count. |
| 2026-10-16 | KYND Dental Care | Dentist names reassessed on 2026-10-16 under the clarified rule (methodology 1.4.2): a name counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register. The clinic names its dentists by first name only, so dentist names no longer count. |
| 2026-10-16 | Methodology 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 | Methodology 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. |

| 2026-09-30 | GiO Dental Care (Dewi Sri Kuta) | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website, its Google listing and the chain's Facebook page: none of them names the branch's dentists. Corrected: dentist names to unverified. |
| 2026-09-30 | KANOU Dental | The clinic's site and its own link page list only Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. A direct Facebook search by the clinic's name found its own small page, matching the clinic's address and phone and posting in September 2026. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-30 | KLÍN Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's website and Google listing: the address and map now rest on them. Recorded: service list published, with a website page per service and a treatment list on the Google listing. |

| 2026-09-30 | Paradental Bali | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's Google listing: the address and map now rest on it. Corrected: service list to published, as the owner's description on the listing lists the clinic's treatments. |
| 2026-09-29 | ARC Dental Clinic Bali | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-29 | ARC Dental Clinic Bali | Read the rendered about-us, home and contact pages (the site's embedded Nuxt page data, not just the empty shell): no dentist is named anywhere and no structured data is present on any of the three pages. |
| 2026-09-29 | Bali Family Dental Care (BFDC) | Read the clinic's lowest-rated Google reviews: recurring complaints about cost transparency (a quote not honoured, undisclosed extra charges). Recorded: recurring complaints confirmed. |

| 2026-09-29 | Rejuvie Dental Bali | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.8 (was 4.7) and review count 108 (was 85) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25. |
| 2026-09-29 | Rejuvie Dental Bali | Read the clinic's own treatments and price-list pages (the question's URL pointed to a different clinic's domain by mistake): no pediatric dentistry, and X-ray is priced but CBCT is not. |

| 2026-09-29 | Sunset Dental Bali | The clinic's website opened normally on 2026-09-29, including its price list and service pages: its price list publishes figures for consultation, cleaning, filling, crowns, implants and X-rays, including panoramic, cephalometric and CBCT imaging; it places implants itself; WhatsApp contact is on the homepage. The treatment list has no pediatric entry; same-day emergency care is not documented on the pages read. |

Recorded: no price figures published anywhere (FAQ confirms costs are estimates only); CBCT and baby-tooth (pediatric) treatment offered as bookable items; no emergency/same-day option in the 20-item treatment list; WhatsApp contact and JSON-LD business markup present. Google listing newest review posted 2026-09-09; low-rated reviews repeatedly describe rushed 15-minute cleanings and pain after treatment; no signs of review manipulation.

Google listing newest review posted 2026-09-06. No TripAdvisor listing found.

| 2026-09-25 | Hydro Medical (Dental) | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's dental-clinic-bali and about-us pages and its dental articles (a general medical clinic where dentistry is one of several departments). Recorded: no dentist named; no standing price list, only two Monday/Saturday cleaning promotions; implants and tooth extractions documented in the clinic's dental articles; no orthodontics found; WhatsApp contact present but the appointment button is a plain link with no booking form.

Still unverified: which Google listing corresponds to this entry (the brand runs a general clinic and a separate dental listing), so rating and review checks remain as previously recorded. |
| 2026-09-25 | Hydro Medical (Dental) | Corrected: the entry is now linked to the clinic's own dental Google listing, 'Hydro Medical Dental Care Canggu' at Jl. Subak Sari No.20, which carries the same phone number and website as this entry (the earlier link was a map search page).

| 2026-09-25 | KANOU Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's price list, facilities and homepage, its Google Business Profile photos, and its Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews).

| 2026-09-25 | So Smile Teeth Whitening | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's homepage, pricing, FAQ and booking pages, and the Google listing of its flagship branch (Seminyak Oberoi).

| 2026-09-25 | Sunset Dental Bali | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (newest and lowest-rated reviews). Recorded: rating 4.7 from 1,232 reviews, newest posted the same day; the owner replies to reviews, including negative ones; the low-rated reviews cover different, unrelated issues rather than a repeated complaint, and show no signs of manipulation. No TripAdvisor listing found. The clinic's own site returns HTTP 403 to a direct request; the homepage was confirmed live as text (post dated 2026-09-23) but its price list, service and equipment pages could not be reached on 2026-09-25 and remain unverified. |
| 2026-09-25 | Sunset Dental Bali | Aligned with the clinic's entry on indonesiadentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (no) from sources read on 2026-08-25. |
| 2026-09-10 | Sunset Dental Bali | Name and registration verification 2026-09-10: the indonesia and bali copies of this card carried two different PDGI numbers for the founder — NPA 1603.023596 and NPA 1606.018414. Re-querying the PDGI e-Sertifikasi register shows these are two different dentists who share a given name: "SURIANSYAH", a general dentist (Dokter Gigi) of the Buleleng branch, and "SURIANSYAH TENGGARA", a prosthodontist (Dokter Gigi Spesialis Prostodonsia) of the Badung branch. The clinic sits in Badung and its own site calls its founder its "lead prosthodontist" and "a certified prosthodontist in Bali", so the Badung prosthodontist record is this clinic's founder; NPA 1603.023596 belonged to the namesake and has been removed. Both copies of the card now carry NPA 1606.018414. |
| 2026-09-07 | Methodology 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 | 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 | Bali International Dental Center (BIDC) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/rating/operating status (open, unchanged); Google rating updated to 4.3/105 (was 4.5/62) with pin/place URL; added 2 independent external sources (Honeycombers guide with local 'Genteng Biru' nickname, Dental Departures medical-tourism platform corroborating the PDGI-verified dentist); visibility scout 5 queries - not present in any top results; pruned s2 (smilejet.app clinic page, now 404, never cited). |

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 | 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. |

| 2026-08-25 | 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. |
