| 2026-10-01 | Dr M Dental Clinic Ipoh | Re-read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-09-30, including its lowest-rated reviews: recurring complaints corrected to present, as the one-star reviews repeat complaints of rough or inexperienced treatment (two crown cases in 2022, a long extraction in 2023); the earlier value rested on search results. |

| 2026-10-01 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | Read the clinic's Facebook page in full for the past year on 2026-10-01: it documents X-ray and CBCT imaging, emergency care, its treatments and pre-treatment cost explanations, and publishes no prices or dentist names. |
| 2026-10-01 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | Searched TripAdvisor on 2026-10-01 for the clinic by its name with and without the city: no TripAdvisor listing, so TripAdvisor presence is recorded as absent. |
| 2026-09-30 | Klinik Pergigian iDentist | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages), Facebook page (About and a year of posts) and Google listing: the dentist's name, service list, contacts and address now rest on them, and no prices are published. Corrected: dentist specializations to listed, as all three present Dr. Chitra Devi as a paediatric dentist; convenient hours to yes, as the clinic opens until 9pm on weekdays and at weekends. |
| 2026-09-30 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | Re-read on 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own Facebook page (About and a year of posts) and Google listing: contacts, address and the absence of a website now rest on them.

| 2026-09-18 | Family Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: all 59 pages of the clinic's website, its Google listing and reviews, its Facebook page and the Malaysian Dental Council register. The practice has two units at Prima Tanjung Business Centre, Tanjung Tokong; the other place names on its site are nearby areas it serves, not branches. Corrected: the price tables on the site (implants, crowns, fillings, consultation and X-rays) are general Malaysian market ranges, and the site states its price guide does not represent the clinic's own rates, so no fees are recorded as published; the structured data names the organisation only. Confirmed from the clinic's own pages: same-day care for sudden tooth pain, visits from tourists and expats, children's dentistry up to age 7, evening hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays and weekend opening. Google: 4.9 from 231 reviews; three one-star reviews from about 2018 to 2025 describe bills higher than quoted, and the clinic answered all six reviews of three stars or fewer. The three dentists on the team page are registered at the clinic's address in the dental council register. |
| 2026-09-18 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic group's website and braces page, the branch's Google listing and reviews, the group's Facebook page and the Malaysian Dental Council register. The website names Dr. Gillian Tham as the dentist at this branch but states no qualifications; several of its treatment pages carry placeholder text. No standing fees are published; braces are advertised as monthly instalments. Braces are offered for children and teens, and the clinic's reply to a review calls care for children a priority. Google: 5.0 from 187 reviews, the newest within the past month, every review answered; one reviewer writes that the clinic gave a free toothbrush after the review was posted and another thanks it for a free gift, which is recorded as a suspicious review pattern. Open Monday to Saturday. The dental council register lists Dr. Gillian Tham at 33-B Jalan Cantonment under an earlier clinic name. |
| 2026-09-18 | SmileBay Signature Implant Centre (Weld Quay) | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: all pages of the clinic's website, its Google listing and reviews, including every review below five stars, its Facebook page and the Malaysian Dental Council register. Corrected: the clinic offers orthodontic treatment, with Invisalign and clear aligners among its dentists' focuses and Invisalign consultations bookable online, and its website describes treating a visiting patient who needed urgent care on the same day. Confirmed: five dentists named with their qualifications, all registered at the clinic's premises; implants, CBCT and X-ray imaging, WhatsApp, Saturday opening, international patients and replies to reviews. No prices are published, the website mentions no children's dentistry or sedation, and its structured data does not describe a dental clinic. No Tripadvisor listing was found. Google: 5.0 from 139 reviews, none below three stars. |
| 2026-09-18 | The Garden Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's website now names three dentists with their training on a team page, shows photos of the premises, describes digital X-rays and 3D imaging for implant planning, and lists opening hours of 9:30 to 17:30 every day; no fees are published and its structured data does not describe a dental clinic. The clinic replies to Google reviews; the reviews read raise no complaints. No Tripadvisor listing was found. The clinic's address is a premise registered with the Malaysian Dental Council. Google: 5.0 from 794 reviews, newest read dated 2026-08-17. |
| 2026-09-18 | TRIA Dental Specialist Centre | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: every page of the clinic's website, including service pages not linked from its menu, its Google listing and reviews, including all one-star reviews, its Facebook page and the Malaysian Dental Council register. Added: X-ray and cone-beam CT imaging, and that implants are placed under local anaesthetic. Confirmed: six dentists named for the Penang centre, five of them registered at its premises; orthodontics, gum treatment and implants, root canal treatment, WhatsApp, Saturday opening, emergency appointments for braces patients and structured data describing the clinic. Two of the four one-star Google reviews describe rude front-desk staff, and the clinic replies to few reviews. The paediatric dentists named on the website work at the Kuala Lumpur branch. No prices are published and no Tripadvisor listing was found. Google: 4.9 from 194 reviews. |
| 2026-09-17 | DMH Dental Surgery | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (treatments and contact pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: an implant price published on the implant surgery page, no prices for cleaning, fillings, crowns, consultation or X-rays; wisdom-tooth extraction and guided implant surgery documented as oral-surgery services; no online pre-visit estimate feature; Google 4.6 from 41 reviews, no owner replies visible on the readable sample. |
| 2026-09-17 | Dr M Dental Clinic Ipoh | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (about, services and individual treatment pages for scaling, filling, crowns; contact page) and its Google listing. Recorded: self-hosted team and interior photos; no prices published for cleaning, filling, crowns, consultation or X-ray; no dental implants or CBCT offered; Myobrace documented for children aged 3-15; no online pre-visit estimate feature; Google 4.8 from 232 reviews, no signs of review manipulation. |
| 2026-09-17 | Family Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (treatments, team, contact and crown-price pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: dentist names and an address with a map link now published; children's dentistry and braces offered; evening hours on Wednesday and Thursday; a Facebook page linked from the site; Google 4.9 from 231 reviews, no repeated complaint pattern and no signs of review manipulation. Corrected: the crown page's price range is explicitly marked as general market reference rather than the clinic's own price, so the crown price criterion is recorded as not published. Still unverified: whether the clinic documents emergency or same-day care. |
| 2026-09-17 | Family Dental Clinic | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard Penang queries: the clinic's own site ranked for "dental implants Penang" and for "Penang dental clinic for expats"; not present for "best dentist Penang", "English speaking dentist Penang" or "emergency dentist Penang". |
| 2026-09-17 | Family Dental Clinic | Recorded on 2026-09-17 from the clinic's own Google Business Profile: emergency dental service is one of the categories the clinic lists for itself, which resolves the point left open when only its blog articles mentioned the word. |
| 2026-09-17 | Gentle Dental Surgery | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (about-us and online-enquiry pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; a dentist's documented interest in emergency dentistry; a dedicated online-enquiry feature for pre-visit questions; Google 5.0 from 204 reviews, owner replies visible on all readable reviews. |
| 2026-09-17 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (service pages for scaling, fillings, crowns, implants, whitening, extractions and wisdom teeth) and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; X-ray imaging used for implant planning but no CBCT; wisdom-tooth and extraction surgery offered; no pediatric or emergency service documented; Saturday opening hours; Google 5.0 from 187 reviews, no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-17 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard Penang queries: the clinic was not present for "best dentist Penang", "English speaking dentist Penang", "dental implants Penang", "emergency dentist Penang" or "Penang dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-17 | Klinik Pergigian Dr. Karthi | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (services, crown & bridge, contact pages, in English/Bahasa/Chinese). Recorded: no prices published for cleaning, filling, crowns, implants or X-ray; free consultation covers both adults and children; no CBCT or emergency service documented; a WhatsApp number published for contact; clinic-uploaded gallery photos present. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |
| 2026-09-17 | Klinik Pergigian iDentist | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google listing and its website, found linked from that listing. Corrected: a live English-language website exists (previously recorded as having none). Recorded: business-uploaded photos on the Google listing; WhatsApp contact; emergency dental care, tooth extraction and implants offered; no prices published for any treatment. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing, on-site imaging equipment and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-17 | Klinik Pergigian iDentist | Re-sourced on 2026-09-17: children's dentistry is documented by the clinic itself, in the service list on its website and as a category on its Google Business Profile, replacing a single third-party review as the basis for this point. |
| 2026-09-17 | Klinik Pergigian JDT Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (its full price table and one dedicated service page) and its Google listing. Recorded: filling and X-ray prices published; no consultation price; each treatment has its own page but without a plain-language description; LocalBusiness structured data published; a same-day emergency accommodation and child patients documented in the clinic's own testimonials; Google 4.9 from 2334 reviews, no signs of review manipulation, no owner replies visible on the readable sample. Still unverified: whether the site's photos are genuine (gallery page appears empty and only patient-uploaded photos surfaced on the Google listing) and whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |
| 2026-09-17 | Klinik Pergigian Unique (Unique Dental Clinic) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (homepage/FAQ, contact page, and a blog article) and its Google listing.

Still unverified: on-site imaging equipment. |
| 2026-09-17 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Google Business listing (no official website exists; only a third-party directory link is on file). Recorded: business-uploaded photos; reviews in English describing treatment in English; Google 4.7 from 398 reviews, no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: whether complaints about being charged more than the quoted price repeat beyond the one readable review, the clinic's Facebook page, on-site equipment, emergency care and international-patient handling, since the clinic has no website of its own. |
| 2026-09-17 | Q&M Dental Surgery (Taman Austin) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic group's website (services and appointment pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: X-ray but not CBCT documented; emergency dental treatment and WhatsApp contact documented; weekend opening hours; Google 4.8 from 259 reviews, owner replies including on a critical review, only one isolated complaint and no signs of review manipulation.

Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |

Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; CBCT/X-ray imaging on site; WhatsApp available; documented international patient care; Google 5.0 from 139 reviews, owner replies on all readable reviews, no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |
| 2026-09-17 | SmileBay Signature Implant Centre (Weld Quay) | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard Penang queries: the clinic's own site ranked for "dental implants Penang"; not present for "best dentist Penang", "English speaking dentist Penang", "emergency dentist Penang" or "Penang dental clinic for expats". A related but separate SmileBay Dental listing on a different host appeared for "best dentist Penang". |
| 2026-09-17 | Surinder & Sumeeta Dental Surgery | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (services, imaging/CBCT, appointment pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: business-uploaded photos on the Google listing; a dedicated CBCT scanner documented; a free pre-visit consultation form; no prices published for any treatment; no emergency service documented; Google 5.0 from 15 reviews. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-17 | Tiew Dental Centre (Bukit Indah) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (Bukit Indah branch page and the group treatments page) and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for cleaning, consultation or X-ray; no emergency service documented; business-uploaded photos on the Google listing; Google 4.9 from 337 reviews with owner replies visible even on a critical review. Still unverified: on-site imaging equipment and whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |
| 2026-09-17 | TRIA Dental Specialist Centre | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's one-page website (Orthodontics, Periodontics & Implants, Endodontics sections for both Penang and Kuala Lumpur branches) and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published; WhatsApp available for both branches; weekend opening hours; no pediatric service documented; Google 4.9 from 194 reviews, no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing, on-site equipment, and whether the clinic works with foreign patients. |
| 2026-09-17 | TRIA Dental Specialist Centre | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-17 for the five standard Penang queries: the clinic was not present for "best dentist Penang", "English speaking dentist Penang", "dental implants Penang", "emergency dentist Penang" or "Penang dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-17 | TRIA Dental Specialist Centre | Recorded on 2026-09-17 from the clinic's own Google Business Profile: emergency dental service is one of the categories the clinic lists for itself, which its website neither describes nor rules out. |
| 2026-09-17 | True Dental Co | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (services page) and its Google listing. Recorded: business-uploaded photos on the Google listing; no pediatric or emergency service documented; evening and weekend opening hours; Google 4.9 from 206 reviews, owner replies on all readable reviews, no repeated complaint pattern and no signs of review manipulation. Still unverified: on-site imaging equipment and whether the clinic has a TripAdvisor listing. |
| 2026-09-10 | Beverly Wilshire Dental | Twin parity review 2026-09-10: the licence number the twin card publishes for "Dr Tan Yang Yin" was deliberately NOT copied here — the twin's own register reading found no record under the name this clinic publishes, and the same number is published on that site for another dentist at another clinic. The row stays "not verified"; the reasoning is recorded in the row's internal research note. |
| 2026-09-10 | Beverly Wilshire Dental | Twin-parity pass 2026-09-10: "Dr Tan Yang Yin" now carries licenseNotFound 2026-09-10 instead of a silent null — the Malaysian Dental Council register, re-read today, returns no record for the name this clinic publishes, and the twin card kualalumpur-dental has withdrawn the number RES 0027 it used to show for this row. The search transcript is in the row's internal research note. |
| 2026-09-10 | Gentle Dental Surgery | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 2 dentists confirmed on the clinic's own roster page https://gentledentalkk.com/about-us/; sources added. |
| 2026-09-10 | Klinik Pergigian JDT Dental | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (N-R2): the Malaysian Dental Council register was searched by premise on 2026-09-10 and lists six practitioners at this clinic, among them Shanthan a/l Rajendran — the register’s form of the "Dr. Shan" this card carries — so his entry was confirmed and the register cited on it. No practitioner matching "Dr. Shila" is registered at the premise and she is not named on the clinic’s own staff page, but the card’s cited directory still names her and patients name her in the clinic’s own review widget, so her entry is kept and the disagreement recorded. |
| 2026-09-10 | Klinik Pergigian Unique (Unique Dental Clinic) | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 1 dentist confirmed on the clinic's own homepage https://uniquedental.my/; source added. |

| 2026-09-10 | The Garden Dental | Twin parity 2026-09-10 (clinicLicense): this card published "licence not published" for a premise that is in fact registered with the Malaysian Dental Council. The 2026-08-25 negative came from three Premise Name variants that a prefix-matching search form cannot resolve against a registered name beginning "KLINIK PERGIGIAN"; the twin card penang-dental found the premise with a broad scan, and the register was re-read here today to confirm it — KLINIK PERGIGIAN THE GARDEN DENTAL at this card's own address, six practitioners on file. MDC publishes no clinic-level licence number, so the value is withdrawn from verified-false to "not verified" rather than replaced by a number, matching the twin. |
| 2026-09-07 | Hello Dental Clinic | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Klinik Pergigian Adda (Adda Dental) | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre (KLIDC) | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Methodology v1.4.0 | Narrowed the "Opaque or bait pricing" red flag to what its published definition describes. Until now the flag was applied automatically to every clinic that does not publish a price list — a harsher statement than the evidence supports, since the catalogue defines the flag as complaints about final bills materially exceeding quoted prices, or advertised prices that are not honoured. Not publishing prices is already scored: it costs the clinic points in the price transparency category, and it is not, on its own, evidence of bait pricing. The automatic rule is removed, so the flag and its 2-point penalty come off about 1,300 clinic pages across the index; no clinic gains a flag, and no weight, severity or other scoring rule changed. The flag can still be recorded against a clinic by hand with cited sources, and about 210 clinics carry such an entry today; we are reviewing those entries in a follow-up pass, because some of them were also written for nothing more than an unpublished price list. |
| 2026-09-07 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Q&M Dental Surgery (Taman Austin) | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Tiho Dental | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | True Dental Co | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Beverly Wilshire Dental | Doctor license verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): Datin Dr Norma confirmed (OMS 0009, matching specialization, registered at Prince Court Medical Centre); Dr Tan Yang Yin, Dr Ryan Raj and Datuk Dr Awang returned no match under the name forms searched. Clinic license already on file (KKLIU 1598/2025) -- not re-searched. |

| 2026-08-25 | Dentalist Kuala Lumpur (North Kiara) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council (MDC) practitioner/premise register (mhps.moh.gov.my): all 4 named doctors hold current MDC registrations; the clinic premise 'KLINIK PERGIGIAN DENTALIST' is independently confirmed via 2 of them, while the other 2 show a different registered premise (likely secondary practice locations); no separate clinic license number is published by MDC or the clinic's own site. |

| 2026-08-25 | DMH Dental Surgery | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-25 | DMH Dental Surgery | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered; named doctor Dr Michael Heng matched; no distinct clinic license number is published. |

| 2026-08-25 | Family Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered at its Tanjong Tokong address (4 dentists); no distinct clinic license number is published. |

| 2026-08-25 | Gentle Dental Surgery | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered; 4 of 6 named doctors matched directly (one via an inferred dropped English first name), 2 not found; no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Gentle Dental Surgery | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged; site also lists a secondary landline (088-278927). Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so no rating/review/coordinate data could be captured this time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Hello Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Wisdom tooth surgery page: local anaesthesia only (painless injection device); no GA/sedation mentioned. |
| 2026-08-25 | Hello Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): all 5 named doctors confirmed as currently registered dental surgeons at KLINIK PERGIGIAN HELLO branches; clinic premise strongly confirmed as genuine MDC-registered (20 practitioners listed) but no distinct clinic license number is published anywhere. |
| 2026-08-25 | Hello Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged, clinic operating normally. Google rating steady at 5.0 but review count grew from stored 301 to 494; site shows a mobile contact number (+6013-998 8806) alongside the stored landline. |
| 2026-08-25 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): the 'KLINIK PERGIGIAN JOY DENTAL' chain is confirmed genuinely MDC-registered in Penang, but the specific Pulau Tikus branch was not among the addresses returned, so left unverified rather than marked false; no clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Joy Dental Clinic (Pulau Tikus) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged, clinic operating normally. Google rating steady at 5.0 but review count grew from stored 75 to 185; captured a phone number for the first time from the Google Maps profile (+60 12-775 8150) — note the clinic's own website displays a different mobile number (+6012-729 8150), possibly a different branch/staff line. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Adda (Adda Dental) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): all 8 named doctors confirmed as currently MDC-registered dental surgeons at KLINIK PERGIGIAN ADDA (found via full Premise Name search, superseding the prior note that individual name searches had failed); no distinct clinic license number is published anywhere. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Adda (Adda Dental) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged, clinic operating normally; Maps profile phone (+60 17-713 5166) is a second contact number alongside the stored main line. Captured first Google rating/review data: 4.8 stars, 1162 reviews. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Dr. Karthi | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): neither the clinic premise (3 name variants) nor any of its 3 named doctors returned a match, and the clinic's own site publishes no license number -- clinicLicense set to false per the verified-false criteria. Doctor licenses left null (name-search absence is not treated as proof of no license, per transliteration-ambiguity guidance). |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Dr. Karthi | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address (main branch) and phone unchanged, clinic operating normally. Captured first Google rating/review data: 4.9 stars, 329 reviews, plus map coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian iDentist | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered (10 dentists); both named doctors matched, one via an inferred shortened first name; no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian iDentist | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file (none on record); confirmed address and phone unchanged via the Google Maps profile, clinic operating normally. Captured first Google rating/review data: 4.9 stars, 199 reviews. Note: the Maps profile lists a candidate site at klinikidentist.wixsite.com, but the bare domain returned 404 and could not be verified as live, so it was not added as a confirmed website. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian JDT Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered; Dr. Kaushalya Chandran and Dr. Presha matched exactly; Dr. Shan and Dr. Shila left unconfirmed (one possible but ambiguous match, one no match). Supersedes the prior note that individual doctor searches had failed -- the clinic itself is confirmed via the full premise listing. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian JDT Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: the clinic's website is live and current — its copyright footer reads 2022-2026, it carries an embedded Google-reviews widget and its header lists the contact number +6017-717 1927. The Google listing's own rating, review count and coordinates could not be confirmed on that date, so none of them were recorded from the widget. The address was not visible in the page text and could not be re-confirmed. The number on the site differs from the stored landline (+60 7-336 5791), but it appears to be a mobile or WhatsApp line rather than a replacement, so the stored number was left unchanged pending a later check. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Unique (Unique Dental Clinic) | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |

| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Unique (Unique Dental Clinic) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered; Dr Low Li Tyng matched, Dr Jerome Tew left unconfirmed (a possible but ambiguous same-premise match exists); no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinik Pergigian Unique (Unique Dental Clinic) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged. Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so no rating/review/coordinate data could be captured this time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre (KLIDC) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): all 4 named doctors confirmed currently MDC-registered; clinic premise confirmed via its Malay registered name 'PUSAT PERGIGIAN ANTARABANGSA KUALA LUMPUR' for 2 of them; no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Kuala Lumpur International Dental Centre (KLIDC) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone (HQ branch) unchanged, clinic operating normally. Captured first Google rating/review data: 4.6 stars, 377 reviews, plus map coordinates. |
| 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 | Platinum Dental Group | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-25 | Platinum Dental Group | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Dedicated sedation page explicitly says conscious sedation (nitrous oxide), not GA; patient stays awake. |
| 2026-08-25 | Platinum Dental Group | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): clinic premise confirmed as genuinely MDC-registered (19 dentists across 5 branches); Dr Jet Yong and Dr Reagan Chong matched, Dr Simon Chin and Dr Sabrina Goh not found; no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Platinum Dental Group | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone (Api-Api Centre branch) unchanged. The site itself claims "552 verified Google reviews (4.9★ rating)", but that is a self-reported figure rather than an acceptable Maps source URL; Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so no independently-sourced rating/review/coordinate data could be captured this time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): the R&F Mall branch is confirmed as part of the genuinely MDC-registered 'KLINIK PERGIGIAN PUTERI' chain; no distinct clinic license number is published. |
| 2026-08-25 | Puteri Dental Johor Bahru (R&F Mall) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website on file, and Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25. A Google search results snippet (not a page directly opened, and not an admissible source) showed the clinic's Facebook business page still active with an address matching the stored one, suggesting it is likely still operating, but this could not be formally confirmed via a Maps profile or first-party site. |
| 2026-08-25 | Q&M Dental Surgery (Taman Austin) | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): the Taman Austin branch premise was not located under the searched name forms; left null rather than false since the Premise Name field is prefix-matched and the branch's exact registered name is unknown (chain premises are often registered under franchisee-specific names, not 'Q&M'). |
| 2026-08-25 | Q&M Dental Surgery (Taman Austin) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: the Q&M Dental corporate site is live, but it surfaces only its Subang Jaya (Selangor) HQ contact details in fetched content, not a page specific to the Taman Mount Austin, Johor Bahru branch, so address/phone for this branch could not be re-confirmed. Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so operating status and rating/review data could not be verified this time; needs a follow-up check. |
| 2026-08-25 | Sabah Dental Surgery | Removed manual red flag(s) no_clinic_license, no_doctor_credentials: they asserted unpublished licensing while the underlying data was unverified (null means "not checked", not "not published"). See methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-25 | Sabah Dental Surgery | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): all 3 named doctors confirmed as currently MDC-registered at the clinic's own premise (registered under a longer specialty-prefixed name); no distinct clinic license number is published. |

| 2026-08-25 | SmileBay Signature Implant Centre (Weld Quay) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address unchanged, clinic operating normally. Google rating steady at 5.0 but review count grew from stored 118 to 136; captured a phone number (WhatsApp line) for the first time, matching the number shown on the clinic's own site. |

| 2026-08-25 | The Garden Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against Malaysian Dental Council register (mhps.moh.gov.my): no matching registered premise found under 3 name variants in Pulau Pinang, and the clinic's own site publishes no license number either -- clinicLicense set to false per the verified-false criteria. |
| 2026-08-25 | The Garden Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address and phone unchanged, clinic operating normally. Google rating rose from stored 4.9 to 5.0 and review count grew substantially from stored 66 to 768. |

Supersedes the prior note that Dr. Tiew Soon Tat could not be found -- he is confirmed via the full premise listing. |
| 2026-08-25 | Tiew Dental Centre (Bukit Indah) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and current, address and phone unchanged (site lists the area as "Nusajaya", a common alternate name for Iskandar Puteri — not a discrepancy). Google Maps did not load on 2026-08-25, so no rating/review/coordinate data could be captured this time. |

| 2026-08-25 | True Dental Co | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and current (2026 copyright), address and phone unchanged. A third-party directory site (not an acceptable Maps source) cited a 4.9-star Google rating, but Google Maps itself did not load on 2026-08-25, so no rating/review/coordinate data could be independently captured this time. |
