Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | Presence on other review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures or DocDental, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing shows an owner reply (2026-09-14) to a low review, so the clinic is recorded as replying to reviews. |
| 2026-09-24 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for five Porto, Portugal queries — "best dentist Porto, Portugal", "English speaking dentist Porto, Portugal", "dental implants Porto, Portugal", "emergency dentist Porto, Portugal" and "Porto, Portugal dental clinic for expats": not present for "best dentist Porto, Portugal", "English speaking dentist Porto, Portugal", "dental implants Porto, Portugal", "emergency dentist Porto, Portugal" and "Porto, Portugal dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's website (team, Porto-specific service pages, contact/booking) and its Google listing. Recorded: the Porto clinic's director and team named, no English site version, dedicated Porto orthodontics and pediatric dentistry pages, oral surgery offered, no emergency wording, an online booking form, Saturday and evening hours, no structured business data, and no TripAdvisor listing. Google listing unchanged at 59 reviews (4.8), newest review from mid-2026 (just past the three-month mark). Still unverified: on-site X-ray/CBCT (not described on the site; one review mentions X-rays being taken, short of the independent-review threshold), English-speaking staff and work with international patients. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: clinic license found via ERS, Número de Registo 150739, address matches exactly (distinguished from same-brand Oliveira de Azemeis and Viseu branches). No named doctors on file for this clinic. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live; corrected address to R. de António Cardoso 391, 4150-079 Porto (record on file had 385, 4150-742); captured first phone number +351 220 925 530 (previously unset); captured first Google rating 4.8 (59 reviews); added geo coordinates. |
