| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-03 | Ajman University Dental Clinics | Wave-3 aiMention top-up: ran the five canonical city queries fresh (2026-09-03) to settle the remaining null aiMention_* values (0 true / 4 false). |
| 2026-09-03 | Ajman University Dental Clinics | Citation upgraded from a /maps/search/ results URL to the actual Maps place page (cid 12129496770640137433), which is what the rating is read from; rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.3 / 173); geo set to the place page coordinates 25.413419 / 55.5054218 (a 1 m adjustment). The place page also publishes a direct clinic line, +971 6 705 6289, distinct from the university switchboard in contacts. |
| 2026-09-03 | Ajman University Dental Clinics | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints true; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Ain Advanced Dental Centre | Wave-3 aiMention top-up: ran the five canonical city queries fresh (2026-09-03) to settle the remaining null aiMention_* values (0 true / 2 false). |

| 2026-09-03 | Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center | Wave-3 aiMention top-up: ran the five canonical city queries fresh (2026-09-03) to settle the remaining null aiMention_* values (1 true / 0 false). |

| 2026-09-03 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Wave-3 aiMention top-up: ran the five canonical city queries fresh (2026-09-03) to settle the remaining null aiMention_* values (0 true / 3 false). |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (cid 12054218235667788804): 4.8 / 422, unchanged and therefore corroborated. The older third-party count of 433 does not reconcile with it and is not used. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — sourced only to the zavis.ai directory record ("General dentistry listed"), not the clinic's own channel; this clinic has no website or Facebook to check, and the Google Business profile is not checkable for a services list via curl. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Jawhara Dental Clinic | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |

| 2026-09-03 | Al Jazeerah Dental Clinic | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. googleReviewCount 696 -> 699 (histogram sum on the live page); reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Naqeeb Dental Surgery Center | Google rating and review count re-read live in a browser on the Maps place page (cid 5464598254041550087): 4.9 / 134, unchanged and therefore corroborated against the older 5.0 / 93 third-party snapshot. |
| 2026-09-03 | Al Naqeeb Dental Surgery Center | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Alnoor Medical Center | Rename to Alnoor re-confirmed on a second independent primary source: the Maps place page publishes the name, the phone +971 7 228 8451, the site alnoordental.com and the address already on this card, and is business-managed (updated 11 weeks ago). Rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.7 / 314). |
| 2026-09-03 | Alnoor Medical Center | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Identity confirmed against a primary source, closing the one rename in this group that had none: the Maps place page at the recorded coordinates publishes the name "Atheer Medical and Dental Center" together with the phone +971 7 243 7999 that this card carries, so the practice at this address trades as Atheer and not under the former name. Rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.9 / 395). |
| 2026-09-03 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Rule A: serviceListPublished true->null — sourced only to the zavis.ai directory record (registered services: General Medicine, General Dentistry, Dermatology, Orthodontics), not the clinic's own channel; this clinic has no website or Facebook to check, and the Google Business profile's services listing is not checkable via curl. |

| 2026-09-03 | Bright Dental Clinic | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_year. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Davinci Dental Clinic | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was no Google Maps citation at all - the listing was found today by a Maps search for the clinic name plus Abu Dhabi, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (website davincidental.ae and phone +971 2 222 2616 - both match this card exactly; address Marina Office Park, Villa A 27/18, Marina Village, near Marina Mall. The listing's own Maps title is a marketing superlative and has deliberately not been adopted as the clinic name), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.474257, 54.3185833. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.8/402 -> 4.8/436. Applied identically to sites/abudhabi-dental and the imported copy in sites/uae-dental; import-existing.js was not run. |
| 2026-09-03 | Dazzling Smile Dental Clinic | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Dr. Shiyas Dental Center | Wave-3 aiMention top-up: ran the five canonical city queries fresh (2026-09-03) to settle the remaining null aiMention_* values (0 true / 4 false). |

| 2026-09-03 | Dubai Smile Dental Clinic (Al Ain Branch) | Reputation pass 2026-09-03 (browser): the clinic's Google Maps place page was reopened on its Reviews tab and the star histogram, the visible reviews, their dates, their reviewer profiles and the owner replies were read. reviewRecency, respondsToReviews, recurringComplaints and suspiciousReviewPatterns set from that read, each carrying the sample size and the read order on the criterion itself. googleReviewCount 302 -> 303 (histogram sum on the live page); reviewRecency "unknown" -> within_3_months. recurringComplaints false; suspiciousReviewPatterns false. |
| 2026-09-03 | Ebtesama Clinic Dental Surgery | Citation upgraded from a /maps/search/ results URL to the actual Maps place page (cid 15884567562428245235); rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.8 / 259). The two-phone question is resolved: both numbers are published by the clinic itself - +971 56 203 3882 on its website, +971 55 544 1787 on its own Google Business Profile, which the business updated 12 weeks ago. Neither is a third-party error; both are recorded rather than one being deleted. |

| 2026-09-03 | Gentle Dental Care (GDC) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a goo.gl/maps short link (https://goo.gl/maps/o6FyfwHTUe5AKz6KA), so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Gentle Dental & Invisalign Clinic Abu Dhabi", website gdcabudhabi.ae and phone +971 2 676 4642 - both the website and the phone match this card exactly; address Junction of Delma, Villa No. 6, Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.4486982, 54.358277. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.8/246 -> 4.8/321. Applied identically to sites/abudhabi-dental and the imported copy in sites/uae-dental; import-existing.js was not run. |
| 2026-09-03 | Harley Street Dental Clinic (HSDC) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a maps?q= query URL (https://www.google.com/maps?q=Harley+Street+Dental+Center+-+Marina+Village,+Villa+A15+-+Abu+Dhabi), which re-runs a search rather than naming a place, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Harley Street Dental Center", address "Marina Village, Villa A15 - Abu Dhabi" reproducing the query string verbatim, phone +971 2 491 6885 and website hsdc.ae - all three match this card), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.4730876, 54.3191585. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.5/199 -> 4.6/479. Applied identically to sites/abudhabi-dental and the imported copy in sites/uae-dental; import-existing.js was not run. |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-03 | Modern Al Salam Orthodontic & Dental Center | Citation upgraded from a /maps/search/ results URL to the actual Maps place page (cid 7043676641890872053); rating and count re-read live and unchanged (4.7 / 314); geo corrected from {"lat":24.227194,"lng":55.7612934} to the place-page coordinates 24.2271556 / 55.7593983, closing the ~190 m offset the verifier measured. The place page publishes the phone and website already on file. |

| 2026-09-03 | Snö Clinics (Abu Dhabi) | Geo and Maps citation resolved in a browser (2026-09-03): the stored Maps reference was a g.co/kgs short link (https://g.co/kgs/ap9U1rh), which the browser is not permitted to open, so this card had no coordinates. The listing was opened, its identity confirmed (place header "Snö Clinics", address "Plaza 30 - Villa 4 Miraykh St - Al Nahyan" matching this card's "Villa 4, Plaza 30, Al Nahyan", phone +971 800 239355 and website snoclinics.com. Disambiguated from the two other Snö-branded Abu Dhabi listings a Maps search returns - Snö Clinics at Beach Lamar Residence, Al Raha St (4.4/159) and Snö Wellness at Plaza 30 Villa 2A Delma St (4.6/44) - by that Al Nahyan address, which is the same address the DOH facility licence MF4817 was matched on), and geo taken from the place URL's !3d/!4d map pin: null -> 24.470931, 54.3851973. contacts.googleMapsUrl replaced with the resolved place page and a source (gmaps-2026-09-03) added carrying the old reference verbatim. Google rating/review count re-read on the same page: 4.3/192 -> 4.2/242. Applied identically to sites/abudhabi-dental and the imported copy in sites/uae-dental; import-existing.js was not run. |

| 2026-09-02 | Al Bahri Dental & Orthodontic Center | Wave-3 adversarial verification: team and contact pages opened; the roster is chain-wide and names eleven dentists without branch attribution, so the six-dentist claim in the summary was corrected and the chain-wide basis disclosed. Structured data, eighteen dedicated service pages, 2D/3D X-ray and dental CT scanning confirmed from the site and added. |

| 2026-09-02 | Al Naqeeb Dental Surgery Center | Wave-3 adversarial verification: the five canonical city queries were already recorded as run with no appearance, so the five AI-visibility criteria were changed from unassessed to a recorded negative and given the citation they lacked. |
| 2026-09-02 | Alnoor Medical Center | Initial data collection. |
| 2026-09-02 | Alnoor Medical Center | Live Google Maps rating/review count added; live listing identified as "Al Noor Medical Center / Al Noor Dental Clinic" via exact phone/address match, resolving the directory's dual-name ambiguity; aiVisibility scout run, no mentions found (wave 3). |
| 2026-09-02 | Alnoor Medical Center | Wave-3 adversarial verification: the directory carries three separate records on this one telephone number, all showing the same Google figures, so the earlier phone-match identity check was circular. The business trading on that number is Alnoor Medical Center, confirmed from its own website; name and address corrected, the website, twelve named dentists, treatment list, cone-beam CT, sedation and opening hours added, and an unwarranted “no dentists listed” red flag removed. |
| 2026-09-02 | Atheer Medical and Dental Center | Initial data collection. |

AI-visibility negatives recorded. |

| 2026-09-02 | Ebtesama Clinic Dental Surgery | Wave-3 adversarial verification: the clinic's own site was opened in full and is Arabic-only, so the bilingual-site reading was refuted and the English-language and international-patient claims re-sourced to the directory record; structured data confirmed; wisdom-tooth surgery and per-service explanations added; coordinates replaced (the previous pair was the viewport centre of a Maps search URL, about 540 m out); AI-visibility negatives recorded. |

| 2026-09-02 | Rose Dental Center | Wave-3 adversarial verification: the business at this address and telephone number was identified from its own website as Rose Dental Center LLC and the published name corrected. The clinic does have a website; the no-website, no-named-dentist and no-specialisation readings were all refuted, removing an unwarranted “no dentists listed” red flag, and seven named dentists, an itemised treatment list, imaging, WhatsApp, Facebook and insurance evidence were added. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (bayavenuedentalcentre.com), address unchanged, business open. Google rating unchanged at 4.8; recorded review count 156 (previously unset). Note: Google's listed primary contact is a mobile number (+971 55 146 5512); the worklist's stored landline (+971 4 277 0247) still appears on the clinic's own site as an alternate number, so it was left unchanged. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bay Avenue Dental Centre | License verification 2026-08-25 against Dubai Medical Registry: clinic confirmed as registered facility 'Bay Avenue Dental Centre' (Polyclinic, Burj Dubai) with matching address/email; no separate numeric facility license code published.

Updated Google rating 4.9→4.8 and review count 1235→1264 for the 'Dr. Michael's Dental Clinic - Umm Suqeim' listing, whose place link matches the one embedded on the clinic's own site for this branch (a separate 'Jumeirah Branch' listing at a different address/review count exists but is not this worklist entry). |

| 2026-08-25 | Harley Street Dental Clinic (HSDC) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.5 (199 reviews) via a directory mirror since Google Maps itself was not renderable — previously unset in worklist. |
| 2026-08-25 | Harley Street Dental Clinic (HSDC) | License verification 2026-08-25 against DOH Abu Dhabi (TAMM Find A Medical Professional): 6 of 7 named doctors found with active licences and facility affiliation confirmed to Harley Street Dental Center; Dr. Ahmed Osman not located in registry (left null, not false, due to name ambiguity). |
| 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. |
