Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's full website (24 pages: services, team, implants, general dentistry, orthodontics, pediatric, contact) and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine own-hosted staff photos; online booking with a personalised pre-visit assessment via the site and Doctoralia; an oral surgeon on the team; hours running to 20:00 on three weekdays; Dentist/Organization structured data sitewide; Google rating 4.9 from 35 reviews, newest 2026-01-14, with an owner reply to its one critical review and no recurring complaint pattern. Corrected: the dentists' names and specialisations are published on the clinic's Spanish-language team page (previously recorded as not listed, based on the English page only). Still unverified: on-site X-ray (mentioned in a single review only, not clinic material), CBCT/3D imaging, and TripAdvisor presence (not found in a name search, though inconclusive on its own). |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic establishment licence not found via REGCESS (technical failure) or the clinic's own site; left null. No individual doctors named on file to check against GuiaDentistas. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (a direct fetch initially failed to connect; confirmed live via browser), address and phone unchanged, operating status open; captured Google rating 4.9 (35 reviews, previously unset); captured place URL and geo coordinates; a second related Maps listing 'Villanueva Clínica Dental - Cauma Espai Dental' (4.9/15) exists at the same address/phone, not used as primary. Sedation research: own site (orthodontics, implantology, paediatric dentistry pages) has no sedation/anaesthesia info. |
