Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages) and Google listing: specializations corrected to not stated, since neither names a dentist or a qualification; website, English content, address and map and the absence of published prices now rest on them. The website's contact page still gives the earlier address, 80 Jorissen Street. |
| 2026-09-29 | Looked for the clinic on Facebook under its name: no page exists. Recorded: not present on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-24 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for the five pending Johannesburg queries — "best dentist Johannesburg", "English speaking dentist Johannesburg", "dental implants Johannesburg", "emergency dentist Johannesburg" and "Johannesburg dental clinic for expats": not present for "best dentist Johannesburg", "English speaking dentist Johannesburg", "dental implants Johannesburg", "emergency dentist Johannesburg" and "Johannesburg dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's full 12-page website (services, education, gallery, hours, contact and appointments) and its Google listing. Recorded: X-rays and extractions documented, no implants or orthodontics in the service list; no dentist named on the site; a plain contact form with no booking option; procedures explained in plain language on an education page; Saturday hours; genuine reception and shopfront photos on the Google listing; consistent owner replies to reviews; no recurring complaints and no signs of manipulated reviews; no structured data and no separate pages per service. Still unverified: Facebook presence, TripAdvisor presence, CBCT, and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website live, phone unchanged, clinic open; Google Maps address corrected to 19 Ameshoff St, Braamfontein, 2001 (was 80 Jorissen St); Google rating 4.9 (82 reviews, latest review ~1 month ago). |
