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 | 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. |
| 2026-10-16 | Queen Anne Dentistry - Da Nang | 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. |
| 2026-10-07 | 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. |

| 2026-10-01 | Hi-Care Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Hi-Care) | Review platforms re-checked: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or Trustpilot, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Magic Dentist | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, vietnam-dental.com or Trustpilot; onOtherPlatforms set to false. |
| 2026-10-01 | Magic Dentist | Read the whole clinic website on 2026-10-01: it publishes a price list (scaling, fillings, crowns, braces), offers a free consultation and presents its own cone beam CT unit, so these are recorded. |
| 2026-10-01 | My Smile Dental Clinic | Read the clinic's own price pages on 2026-10-01: listed prices for fillings and implants and a free consultation are published, and the clinic documents its own CBCT scanning, braces and wisdom-tooth extraction, so these are recorded; scaling and X-ray prices remain unpublished as the clinic's own. |
| 2026-10-01 | My Smile Dental Clinic | Read the clinic's English pages on 2026-10-01: it addresses and treats international patients and offers WhatsApp contact, so both are recorded. |

| 2026-10-01 | Win Smile Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Read the whole Win Smile website on 2026-10-01: its own filling price table and a free consultation are published, and the site documents its imaging equipment and its implant, orthodontic and extraction services, so these are recorded; the dentists are now cited from the live team page. |
| 2026-09-30 | Aesthetic Dental Centre - Da Nang | Re-checked 2026-09-30: no website, social page or Google listing run by the clinic at 107 Le Dinh Duong was found, so its service list is no longer recorded as published; the only service lists are on directory pages. |
| 2026-09-30 | Dr. Bao Dental Clinic - Dental Implant Center | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages listed in its sitemap) and Google listing: its website, dentists, their qualifications, services and English version now rest on them; the address with an embedded map on the contact page is now recorded as published. |

| 2026-09-30 | My Smile Dental Clinic | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages listed in its sitemap) and Google listing: its lead dentist, his qualifications, the service list, contacts, English version and address with a map now rest on them. The description no longer says little is published about the clinic: its website names its director and describes its implant workflow. |

| 2026-09-30 | Win Smile Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the Win Smile website (its capture of 2026-09-23; the site did not load on 2026-09-30) and the branch's Google listing: website, dentists with their fields and service list now rest on them; contacts and address now recorded as published. Corrected: English website version to no, as the site is in Vietnamese only. |

| 2026-09-29 | Passion Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: 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 | Picasso Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Found the clinic group's official Facebook page; its handle matches the clinic's website domain, its bio links that website, and a post describes the Da Nang branch at Vinmec. |
| 2026-09-29 | Queen Anne Dentistry - Da Nang | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29 after reading the clinic's English-language website (home, about, services and contact pages, its page and post sitemaps, and a blog post on implant cost), its Google listing (most relevant, newest and lowest-rated reviews), TripAdvisor's own search and WhatClinic's Da Nang catalogue. |

| 2026-09-24 | Passion Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing. Corrected: the website previously on file (passiondental.com.vn) no longer resolves under any path, including the one linked from the clinic's own Google Business Profile, so hasWebsite is now false and price criteria fall back to the Google listing, which publishes no prices.

| 2026-09-10 | Dr. Bao Dental Clinic - Dental Implant Center | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: both aggregator-only doctors confirmed via own-site Staff section. |
| 2026-09-10 | Magic Dentist | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Dr. Huynh Khoa confirmed via own-site About page. Dr. Thao not found by name on the same page — a review quote there names a similarly-spelled but distinct 'bác sĩ Thái' (Dr. Thai), too weak a match to confirm or contradict; queued as silent/inconclusive, data not changed. |
| 2026-09-10 | Passion Dental Clinic | Website https://www.passiondental.com.vn/en has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-09-10 | Viet Anh Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Viet Anh) | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Dr. Tran Xuan Viet Anh confirmed via own-site Doctor Team page (not previously fetched by an earlier read); clinic is named after him. |
| 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 | Aesthetic Dental Centre - Da Nang | Deepen 2026-08-26: no website or phone on file, none found. IMPORTANT — could not locate any Google Maps listing for this clinic under its stored name or address (107 Le Dinh Duong) via multiple targeted searches; a broad-radius search returned zero plausible matches (results jumped to unrelated clinics across SE Asia), so operatingStatus is left 'unclear' rather than confirmed open, and no rating/reviews/coordinates could be captured this round. The clinic still appears on WhatClinic and a second independent directory (dentalclinicvietnam.com) at the same address, both re-verified live today, but neither confirms current operating status independently of Maps. No stored uncited sources to triage (only s1, already cited); visibility scout 5 queries (absent from all 5). |
| 2026-08-26 | Australian Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Deepen 2026-08-26: website live; Google rating/review count newly captured via Maps (4.7, 265 reviews, place URL+coords); added dentaltrip.io and idcdanang.com competitor guide as new external sources, re-cited s2 (vietnam-dental.com, re-verified live) to englishSpoken; visibility scout 5 queries (present in 4 of 5, strongest local-pack presence in cohort). |
| 2026-08-26 | Citi Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Deepen 2026-08-26: clinic now has its own website (citidental.vn), previously unset — newly observed, but the site is minimal/under construction; Google rating/review count newly captured via Maps (4.7, 85 reviews, place URL+coords); no second brand-new independent source found beyond Maps and the already-cited WhatClinic listing (re-verified live today, still only s1). No stored uncited sources to triage (only s1, already cited); visibility scout 5 queries (present in best-dentist/english-speaking/emergency). |
| 2026-08-26 | Da Nang Implant Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Implant Da Nang) | Deepen 2026-08-26: website live; Google rating/review count rechecked via Maps (4.9, 784 reviews, up from 124 — place URL+coords captured); added dentaltrip.io as new external source and re-cited dentaldepartures.com (s2, still live, shows a legacy 4.96/124 snapshot) to offersImplantology; visibility scout 5 queries (present via image carousel for best-dentist/english-speaking, local-pack+own-site for implants). |

| 2026-08-26 | Hi-Care Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Hi-Care) | Deepen 2026-08-26: website live; Google rating/review count rechecked via Maps (5.0, 973 reviews, up from 386 — place URL+coords); website now also publishes a specific Ministry of Health licence number ('được bộ y tế cấp phép hoạt động số 01170/ĐNA - GPHĐ') not present at last check — flagging for licensing.clinicLicense follow-up since this delta format has no licensing slot; added dentaltrip.io and bestdentistdanang.com as new external sources, re-cited s2 (smilejet.app) to offersImplantology; visibility scout 5 queries (absent from all 5, despite highest review count in cohort — weak AI/search visibility outlier worth noting). |
| 2026-08-26 | Hi-Care Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Hi-Care) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. site says 90% of implant cases need no pain medication, describing a local-technique approach; no GA/deep sedation documented |

| 2026-08-26 | Magic Dentist | Deepen 2026-08-26: clinic now has its own website (magicdentist.vn), previously unset — newly observed, led by 'bác sĩ Khoa' (matches stored Dr. Huynh Khoa) with 30+ years' experience per site; Google rating/review count rechecked via Maps (4.8, 107 reviews, up from 57 — place URL+coords); added ohdental.vn as new external source (confirms clinic expanded to 2 branches); visibility scout 5 queries (present via image carousel for best-dentist only).

Recommend flagging contacts.website as broken rather than removing the fact of the business. Google rating/review count newly captured via Maps (place URL+coords); re-cited s2 (dentaltrip.io, still live) to offersImplantology; visibility scout 5 queries (absent from all 5). |
| 2026-08-26 | Passion Dental Clinic | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s1 [https://www.passiondental.com.vn/en]: https://www.passiondental.com.vn/en (getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND www.passiondental.com.vn, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | Picasso Dental Clinic - Da Nang | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website (live, network now 6 locations incl. 2 in Da Nang); Google rating/reviews rechecked via Maps for the Vinmec-branch listing specifically (5.0, 12 reviews, place URL+coords captured) — sharply down from stored 185 reviews, most likely because the CBD branch (222 Phan Chau Trinh) now has its own separate Maps listing rather than a real reputation drop; added idcdanang.com competitor guide as new external source; visibility scout 5 queries (present in best-dentist/english-speaking/emergency, absent from implants/expats); pruned s2 (serenitydentalclinic.com) — today it serves what appears to be Picasso's own promotional content under a different domain (matching phone/branding) with numbers inconsistent with the figure it was originally cited for, so it is not a genuine independent source. |
| 2026-08-26 | TGM Dental - Da Nang Branch (Nha Khoa Tam Gia Minh) | Deepen 2026-08-26: website live; street number corrected to '01 An Thuong 24' per Google Maps (stored was '08'); Google rating/review count captured for the Da Nang-branch-specific Maps listing (4.8, 157 reviews, place URL+coords) — distinct from a same-brand Hoi An listing; re-cited s2 (whatclinic.com, re-verified, shows a much lower 3.2/5 WhatClinic-only score); no second brand-new external source found beyond Maps for this smaller listing; visibility scout 5 queries (absent from all 5). |

| 2026-08-26 | Viet Anh Dental Clinic (Nha Khoa Viet Anh) | Link-rot re-check 2026-08-26 (round 2): s2 (hanamihotel.com/en/teeth-whitening-in-da-nang/) was flagged cited-dead by an external-link check but re-fetched directly 2026-08-26 and is live with matching content (specialization/credentials description unchanged) — a false positive. specializationsListed was already double-sourced with s1 (dentaltrip.io, live); dropped s2 in favor of the still-live s1 and pruned it, since re-verifying s2 would not have changed anything about the fact. |

| 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. |
