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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-26 | AB Dental Studio (AB Dental Clinic) | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (abdentalphuket.com), Phuket Town branch address, and phone unchanged. Google rating unchanged at 4.9, review count rose from 380 to 477; captured coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | AB Dental Studio (AB Dental Clinic) | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s4 [https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinic/a-b-dental-studio/]: https://us-uk.bookimed.com/clinic/a-b-dental-studio/ (HTTP 404, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | AB Dental Studio (AB Dental Clinic) | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: Bookimed aggregator listing (s4) confirmed dead. onOtherPlatforms re-declared onto the already-live well-reviewed.Online source (s2); worksWithForeigners re-declared onto the clinic's own official site (s1, re-fetched and read directly, explicitly offers "International Dental Tourism Services"). s4 pruned (no longer cited by anything). |
| 2026-08-26 | Bangkok Hospital Phuket Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website, address, and phone unchanged. No standalone Google Maps place could be found for the 'Dental Center' department itself despite several targeted searches; recorded rating/review count from Bangkok Phuket Hospital's overall Google Business listing (shares the dental center's address/pin), which rose from 4.1/1756 to 4.5/3697 since last check. Flagging that this jump may partly reflect that today's figure represents the whole-hospital listing rather than a department-specific one. |
| 2026-08-26 | CUBE Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (cube.in.th), address, and phone unchanged. Google rating unchanged at 4.8, review count rose from 264 to 273; captured coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | D.D.S. Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: no website on record (unchanged, still none found). Confirmed address (109/12 Phuket Rd) and phone (076 212 766) match a 'Dds Dental Clinic' Google Maps listing showing 4.4 stars / 29 reviews with normal posted hours (not closed). A place-page URL in an acceptable citable format (google.com/maps/place/..., a cid link, or a short link) could not be obtained despite repeated navigation and click attempts on that listing — it only ever resolved to a /maps/search/ results page — so the rating and review count are not recorded as sourced criteria per the sourcing rules; operating status and contact details are recorded as confirmed since they did not require the same citation format. |
| 2026-08-26 | DentalJoy Phuket Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (dentaljoyphuket.com), address, and phone unchanged. Google rating unchanged at 4.9, review count rose from 189 to 197; captured coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | DentalJoy Phuket Clinic | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 2 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in the fleet external-link sweep (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. Llic [https://www.dentaljoyphuket.com/dentists.php]: https://www.dentaljoyphuket.com/dentists.php (HTTP 404, rotten) | s2 [https://www.dentaljoyphuket.com/fees.php]: https://www.dentaljoyphuket.com/fees.php (HTTP 404, rotten) |
| 2026-08-26 | DentalJoy Phuket Clinic | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: dentaljoyphuket.com/dentists.php and /fees.php (Llic, s2) confirmed dead (HTTP 404) - the site restructured around 2026: root domain and /about, /services, /pricing, /technology are live but the old paths are gone. offersImplantology re-cited onto the new /services page. Added the new /about page as an additional source for Dr. Kulwadee Kulsrisombat (Dr. Joy), who is still named there. Dr. Boonyanat Guensri is not named on the new /about page (team may have changed) - her citation, and the 6 price-transparency facts and hasXray (no equivalent confirmed on the restructured site; /pricing returned inconclusive content), are left unresolved. Llic and s2 remain cited (doctors union-merge; unresolved pricing facts), not pruned. |
| 2026-08-26 | Nava Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (nava-dental.com), address, and phone unchanged (Google Maps shows the unit as '28/4-5' vs the stored/site value '28/4-6' — noted as an observation, not changed, since the clinic's own site matches the stored value). Google rating rose from 4.7 to 4.8 and review count rose from 188 to 359; captured coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | New Smile Dentists | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (newsmiledentists.com), address, and phone unchanged. Google rating unchanged at 4.8, review count rose from 159 to 165; captured coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | Phuket Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (phuketdentalcenter.com), address, and phone unchanged. Captured first-time Google rating 4.8 (71 reviews) with coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | Phuket Dental Home Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (phuketdentalhomeclinic.com), address, and phone unchanged. Captured first-time Google rating 4.9 (55 reviews) with coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | Phuket Dental Signature | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (phuketdentalsignature.com) live, address and phone unchanged, and clinic operating (site states OPEN, Maps shows normal hours). Captured first-time Google rating 4.7 (130 reviews) with coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-26 | Phuket Dental Studio | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live via r.jina.ai mirror (direct WebFetch failed with a self-signed-certificate error on both http and https for phuketdentalstudio.com); address and phone (081-787-8038, per the clinic's own site) unchanged. Google rating rose from 4.7 to 4.9 and review count rose sharply from 60 to 285 — flagging given the size of the jump, though directly observed on today's Google Maps place page. Note: the Google Maps listing itself shows a different phone number (090 872 6656) than the clinic's own site; the official phone was kept per the clinic's own site. |
| 2026-08-26 | Phuket Smile Signature | Re-verification 2026-08-26: the clinic's own website (phuketsmilesignature.com) is live and now shows the business operating from 189 Rat-U-Thit 200 Road, Patong (in alliance with Phuket Dental Signature, same building/phone) — corrected from the stored '1189 Rat-U-Thit 200 Road'; phone (+66 91 889 6199) unchanged. However, the only discoverable Google Maps profile under this business name ('Phuket Smile Signature Dental Clinic') is marked Temporarily Closed at the old address (104 Thaweewong Rd), with stale reviews (rating 4.3, 20 reviews, most recent dated years ago); no separate current Maps listing was found at the new address despite targeted searches. Recorded operatingStatus as unclear given this contradiction between the live website and the Google listing's closed status. |
| 2026-08-26 | Rang Hill Smile Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website live via r.jina.ai mirror (direct WebFetch returned 403 Forbidden), address, and phone unchanged. Google rating rose from 4.8 to 4.9 and review count rose sharply from 312 to 1135 since last check. Flagging that this review-count jump is far larger than typical organic growth for the period, though it reflects what was directly observed on the clinic's Google Maps place page today. |
| 2026-08-26 | Sea Smile International Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (patongsmileinterdental.com) live with unchanged address and phone (+66 2 105 4288, per the clinic's own site). Google rating unchanged at 4.8 but review count rose from 174 to 229 since last check; captured coordinates and Maps URL. Note: the matching Google Maps place shows an alternate contact number (085 318 0990) and a different website (thaidentalcenter.com) than the clinic's own site — recorded as an observation only; official contact fields kept per the clinic's own live website, which was directly re-confirmed today. |
| 2026-08-26 | Tooth Therapy Dental Clinic (Phuket) | Re-verification 2026-08-26: confirmed website (tooth-therapy.com), Phuket branch address, and phone unchanged. Captured first-time Google rating 4.5 (8 reviews) with coordinates and Maps URL. |
| 2026-08-25 | AB Dental Studio (AB Dental Clinic) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://abdentalphuket.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged; site also lists a second Boat Avenue/Cherngtalay branch not in scope here. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | AB Dental Studio (AB Dental Clinic) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no clinic establishment license match found under reasonable Thai-name transliteration; own site publishes no license number for either branch, but Thai trade name unconfirmed, so recorded null. All 9 named doctors recorded null against the Dental Council of Thailand register (Thai-script-only exact-match requirement confirmed live). |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok Hospital Phuket Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Dental Center page live at bangkokhospital.com/en/phuket, name and phone (+66 76 254 425) confirmed unchanged; page did not display the street address so address could not be independently re-confirmed today. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok Hospital Phuket Dental Center | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no match for this hospital-based dental center under reasonable Thai-name transliterations (likely licensed as a hospital, a different track); own page publishes no license number — recorded null, not false. All 9 named doctors recorded null against the Dental Council of Thailand register (Thai-script-only exact-match requirement confirmed live). |
| 2026-08-25 | CUBE Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://www.cube.in.th, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | CUBE Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no clinic establishment license match found under reasonable Thai-name transliteration; own site publishes no license number, but Thai trade name unconfirmed, so recorded null. The sole named doctor (head doctor) recorded null against the Dental Council of Thailand register (Thai-script-only exact-match requirement confirmed live). |
| 2026-08-25 | D.D.S. Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file to check, and web search tools were unavailable this session (WebSearch budget exhausted; Google Maps and third-party search engines unreachable via WebFetch), so nothing could be independently re-verified today. No fields changed. |
| 2026-08-25 | D.D.S. Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no clinic establishment license match found under a reasonable Thai-name transliteration; clinic has no own website to check, so recorded null rather than false. No doctors currently listed in this clinic's licensing record to check (six dentists are named only in the general listing, not yet in the licensing sub-record). |
| 2026-08-25 | DentalJoy Phuket Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://www.dentaljoyphuket.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged (site uses 'Rat-U-Thit-Songroipi', a transliteration variant of Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee, same road). Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | DentalJoy Phuket Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no clinic establishment license match found under reasonable Thai-name transliterations; own site publishes no license number, but Thai trade name unconfirmed, so recorded null. Both named doctors recorded null against the Dental Council of Thailand register (Thai-script-only exact-match requirement confirmed live). |
| 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 | Nava Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://nava-dental.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |

No doctors currently listed for this clinic to check. |
| 2026-08-25 | New Smile Dentists | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://www.newsmiledentists.com (site itself notes it is 'formerly Promjai Dental Clinic'), name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | New Smile Dentists | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no clinic establishment license match found for reasonable Thai-name transliterations (current name and former name 'Promjai'); own site publishes no license number, but Thai trade name unconfirmed, so recorded null. All 9 named doctors recorded null against the Dental Council of Thailand register (Thai-script-only exact-match requirement confirmed live). |
| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://www.phuketdentalcenter.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Center | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: clinic establishment license FOUND (83103000456, valid to 31 Dec 2032) at an exact address match.

| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Home Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://www.phuketdentalhomeclinic.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |

| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Signature | Re-verification 2026-08-25: site live at https://phuketdentalsignature.com, name/address/phone confirmed unchanged. Google Maps unreachable this session (search tools blocked/exhausted), so reputation/geo were not re-checked. No changes. |
| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Signature | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry (Dept. of Health Service Support): clinic establishment license FOUND (83103001257, valid to 31 Dec 2033) matching the clinic's exact address. All 13 named doctors could not be checked against the Dental Council of Thailand register because it requires exact Thai-script names (confirmed via a live test query) and only Latin-transliterated names are available from the clinic's English-only site — recorded null (transliteration ambiguity, not evidence of no license). |
| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Dental Studio | Re-verification 2026-08-25: http://www.phuketdentalstudio.com (and https variant) failed with an invalid/self-signed TLS certificate on repeated attempts; could not open the site or confirm content today.

| 2026-08-25 | Phuket Smile Signature | License verification 2026-08-25 against Thailand's Private Healthcare Facility Verification registry: no distinct clinic establishment license found under reasonable Thai-name transliterations; own site publishes no license number and the clinic may share its establishment license with sister brand Phuket Dental Signature (same contact channels) — recorded null, not false, pending clarification. No doctors currently listed for this clinic to check. |
| 2026-08-25 | Rang Hill Smile Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: https://ranghillsmile.com returned HTTP 403 Forbidden to automated fetch on repeated attempts (www, non-www, http and https); could not open the site or confirm content today.

| 2026-08-25 | Tooth Therapy Dental Clinic (Phuket) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Phuket location live at https://www.tooth-therapy.com, address/phone confirmed unchanged; site now names the Phuket location 'Tooth Therapy & Skin Elements Dental & Dermatology Clinic' (core 'Tooth Therapy' brand retained, noted but not changed in fields). Sedation page confirms conscious/awake sedation only (nitrous oxide, oral) — recorded in sedation research file. Google Maps unreachable this session, so reputation/geo were not re-checked. |
| 2026-08-25 | Tooth Therapy Dental Clinic (Phuket) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Offers conscious (awake) sedation only — nitrous oxide and oral sedation; not deep/general anaesthesia. |
