Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-07 | Re-read on 2026-10-07: every page of the clinic's website (home, about, team, international patients, 17 treatment pages, fees, gallery, contact) and its Google listing. Corrected: prices are published — the fees page is a dated list (“correct as from 1 August 2026”) of 37 priced lines, where the card still said the site published no price list; WhatsApp contact is available — every page has a WhatsApp button for +356 7942 2026. Confirmed: four dentists named with their qualifications; cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices; 3D CT; sedation with anaesthetic consultants; a page for international patients; an online booking form with a choice of treatment, dentist, date and time; emergency care listed on the Google listing; no structured data describing the clinic. Google 4.9 from 153 reviews (was 151), newest 2026-10-03, with an owner reply on all 15 reviews read. The four dentists’ registration numbers were read in the Medical Council of Malta register. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence (not re-read) and activity on the Facebook page. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-07 with the five canonical Malta queries, read once for every card compared; AI Overviews, the Places block and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 5 of the five. |
| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 (its lowest-rated and newest reviews with the star histogram): no repeated complaint; no sign of manipulated reviews. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-01). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's fees-and-finance page (dated 1 August 2026) and its Google listing. Recorded: cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation, X-ray and CBCT prices all published; an online booking form with treatment, dentist and time selection; a Facebook link; no WhatsApp contact; no structured business markup beyond a Product type; no TripAdvisor listing, though the practice has a WhatClinic profile with three patient reviews. Google review data could not be refreshed on 2026-09-17 — the listing served no reviews section — so recency and complaint patterns are unchanged from the prior read. |
| 2026-09-11 | 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 2026-07-13. |
| 2026-09-09 | Sedation criterion re-checked against methodology 1.4.0 (general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation, patient asleep and unaware). The value stands, and the note now carries the evidence it rests on. The centre publishes "Sedation or general anaesthesia" among the ways it treats patients who need it. |
| 2026-08-27 | Initial verification: confirmed live website, address, phone and Google rating (4.9, 151 reviews); matched two named dentists to Medical Council of Malta registrations; recorded strong AI/search-visibility signals across four of the five fixed queries. |
