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.

DateSubjectChange
2026-09-03Methodology v1.3.1Clarified 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.

2026-08-25Alva Clinica DentalRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and phone; corrected postal code to 48335 (was 48354 in worklist) and refined address per Maps; captured first Google rating 4.9 (217 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Alva Clinica DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Alva Clinica Dental's clinic license and its 3 named doctors' cédulas could not be verified; all left null, none marked false.
2026-08-25Bienstar DentalRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone; Maps lists the business as "Clínica Bienestar Dental - Dentista Puerto Vallarta"; captured first Google rating 4.5 (11 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Bienstar DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES (clinic-scope registry): host unreachable (TLS certificate expired / master workbook host times out) — could not verify Bienstar Dental's clinic authorization; left null, not marked false. No doctor names are listed for this clinic, so no dentist-registry lookups were possible.
2026-08-25Boca Oficina DentalRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and phone; refined address with full street details from Maps (was a vague plaza-only stored address); Google rating unchanged at 4.9; captured first review count of 132; added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Boca Oficina DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Boca Oficina Dental's clinic license and its 5 named doctors' cédulas could not be verified; all left null, none marked false.
2026-08-25Clinica Dental Plaza MarinaRe-verification 2026-08-25: no website; confirmed address and phone unchanged via a distinct Google Maps listing (same phone and plaza as 'Alva Clínica Dental Plaza Marina' — likely a legacy secondary listing for the same practice), rating 4.2 from 6 reviews observed directly on Maps; not flagged permanently closed. Repeated attempts to open this specific listing's own place page kept returning the search-results view rather than a dedicated /place/ URL, so no compliant rating source URL or pin coordinates were captured this cycle — omitted rather than guessed.
2026-08-25Clinica Dental Plaza MarinaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES (clinic-scope registry): host unreachable (TLS certificate expired / master workbook host times out) — could not verify Clinica Dental Plaza Marina's authorization; left null, not marked false. No doctor names are listed for this clinic, so no dentist-registry lookups were possible.
2026-08-25Dental AlemanRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and address; captured phone number +52 322 178 7341 (previously unset in worklist); captured first Google rating 4.4 (31 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Dental AlemanLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Dental Aleman's clinic license and Dr. Lupita Aleman's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25Dental Estetic (Dr. Melisa Meneses)Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone; captured first Google rating 4.9 (135 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Dental Estetic (Dr. Melisa Meneses)License verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Dental Estetic's clinic license and Dr. Melisa Meneses's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25Dental Express MexicoRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and phone; replaced vague stored address with the specific street address from Maps; Google rating changed to 4.6 (was 4.7), review count now 131 (was 56); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Dental Express MexicoLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Dental Express Mexico's clinic license and Dr. Antonio Fernandez Sanchez's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25Dental Office Puerto VallartaRe-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file (worklist has none), and no matching Google Maps listing could be found for "Dental Office Puerto Vallarta" at Plaza Marina Local G24/G25 after multiple targeted searches (exact name, exact name + neighborhood). A differently-addressed, unrelated-looking 1.9-star listing named "Dental Office PV" exists elsewhere in the city (Blvd. Francisco Medina Ascencio 1630) but its address does not match the stored Plaza Marina location, so it was not assumed to be the same business. Unable to confirm any live facts today; no changes recorded. Recommend manual follow-up to determine if this clinic is still operating under this name.
2026-08-25Dental Office Puerto VallartaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES (clinic-scope registry): host unreachable (TLS certificate expired / master workbook host times out) — could not verify Dental Office Puerto Vallarta's authorization; left null, not marked false. No doctor names are listed for this clinic, so no dentist-registry lookups were possible.
2026-08-25Dental Solutions Puerto VallartaRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone unchanged; Google rating changed to 4.7 (was 4.8), review count now 218 (was 170); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Dental Solutions Puerto VallartaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment (RNP connection refused; CLUES host TLS certificate expired) — Dental Solutions Puerto Vallarta's clinic license and Dr. Arturo Pereyra's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25DentoamericaRe-verification 2026-08-25: www.dentoamerica.com no longer resolves (DNS failure) but dentoamerica.com (no www) is live with matching content — recorded as website correction; replaced vague stored address with the specific address (Nuevo Vallarta/Mezcales, Nayarit); confirmed local phone; captured first Google rating 4.5 (99 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25DentoamericaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Dentoamerica's clinic license and Dra. Mireya Munoz's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25Dr. Ignacio Gomez GutierrezRe-verification 2026-08-25: no independent clinic website (only a Doctoralia directory listing); confirmed address unchanged; captured first Google rating 3.9 (16 reviews), most recent review about a year old; added geo coordinates and Maps URL. Note: a separate nearby Maps listing, 'Dentist Dr. Ignacio Gómez' (4.3★, 6 reviews, phone +52 322 222 5359), also exists at the same address and may be a duplicate profile.
2026-08-25Dr. Ignacio Gomez GutierrezLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — this solo practice's clinic license and Dr. Ignacio Gomez Gutierrez's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-25Esthetic Dentistry Puerto VallartaRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone; captured first Google rating 5.0 (165 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Esthetic Dentistry Puerto VallartaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — the 5 cédula numbers already self-published on the clinic's own site (Abrego, Lopez, Montserrat, Cortes, Salinas) could not be cross-checked against the official RNP record, and the clinic's own CLUES/establishment status could not be verified; all left null, none marked false.
2026-08-25Justsmiles (Clinica Dental Dr. Guillen)Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone; Google rating changed to 4.2 (was 4.7), review count now 53 (was 42); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Justsmiles (Clinica Dental Dr. Guillen)License verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Justsmiles (Clinica Dental Dr. Guillen)'s clinic license and its 4 named doctors' cédulas could not be verified; all left null, none marked false.
2026-08-25Methodology v1.3.0Corrected 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.
2026-08-25PV SmileRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live; corrected address neighborhood/postal code to Col. Gustavo Díaz Ordaz, 48310 (worklist had Col. Versalles); Google Maps profile lists a different contact number (+52 322 150 7442) than the website's listed phone (+52 322 224 8879, left unchanged as the website confirms it); website documents only conscious/inhalation sedation (not sleep dentistry); captured first Google rating 4.3 (40 reviews); added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25PV SmileRecorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers conscious and inhalation sedation only (patient stays awake); no GA/deep sedation mentioned.
2026-08-25PV SmileLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — PV Smile's clinic license and its 3 named doctors' cédulas could not be verified; all left null, none marked false.
2026-08-25Rio Grande DentalRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, phone; captured first Google rating 5.0 (3 reviews, small/newer Maps listing for the Puerto Vallarta location); site FAQ confirms IV sedation with an anesthesiologist is available; added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Rio Grande DentalRecorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. IV sedation with anesthesiologist available; site also references general anesthetic for implant post-op care.
2026-08-25Rio Grande DentalLicense verification 2026-08-25 against CLUES (clinic-scope registry): host unreachable (TLS certificate expired / master workbook host times out) — could not verify Rio Grande Dental's clinic authorization; left null, not marked false. No doctor names are listed for this clinic, so no dentist-registry lookups were possible.
2026-08-25Smile VallartaRe-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed address and phone; website has moved to smilevallartadental.com (old wixsite.com/dental link still resolves with matching content, kept working as fallback); Google rating changed to 4.7 (was 4.8); captured first review count of 87; added geo coordinates and Maps URL.
2026-08-25Smile VallartaLicense verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Smile Vallarta's clinic license and Dr. Alejandro Sanchez's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.

2026-08-25Unident (Dr. Benjamin Valle)License verification 2026-08-25 against SEP RNP (dentists) and CLUES (clinics): both national registries unreachable from this environment — Unident's clinic license and Dr. Benjamin Valle's cédula could not be verified; left null, not marked false.
2026-08-23Methodology v1.2.0Added 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.
2026-07-08Methodology v1.1.0Added 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.
2026-07-03Methodology v1.0.0Initial public methodology.
