Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): suspicious review patterns no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Read the clinic's website on 2026-10-01: it offers a free first consultation with a check-up and treatment plan, so a pre-visit consultation is now recorded. |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's services, scaling, filling, crown, implant and pedodontics pages, plus its Google listing (newest and lowest reviews). Recorded: estimated prices for cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants and X-rays, with a free checkup; digital X-ray and 3D CT scanning; pediatric dentistry priced; no emergency service found; no structured data; no TripAdvisor presence; the site's dentists page link is broken and no dentist is named elsewhere on the site; recent reviews describe different prices charged to foreigners. Corrected: the clinic publishes prices on its own site. Still unverified: whether the online booking form offers more than name, phone and message. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25: no Thai-script clinic name or licence number found on either language version of dcdental.clinic; no dentists individually named in the site data to cross-check. |
