Changelog
Every data update, correction, and methodology change is logged here and in each clinic's own change history. The rating updates whenever the underlying public data changes.
| Date | Subject | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-16 | Methodology v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Methodology v1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |
| 2026-10-05 | Framada Dental Clinic | Read 10 of the clinic's Google reviews on 2026-10-02: the owner replies to reviews. |
| 2026-10-05 | Platinum Orthodontics & Advanced Dentistry | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-05: the Go Africa Online page cited before is an unclaimed directory entry with no reviews, and no profile of the clinic was found on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-05 | Robinson Medical and Dental Clinic | TripAdvisor presence checked on 2026-10-02: no listing found for this clinic. |
| 2026-10-02 | Adombi Dental Clinic | Facebook presence checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's identified page has not posted since 2021-09-14 and has no reviews, while its Google listing has reviews up to February 2026. |
| 2026-10-02 | Adombi Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-10-02: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-10-02 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Presence on review platforms checked 2026-10-02: verified GhanaYello page. |
| 2026-10-02 | Mayak Dental Clinic | Facebook presence checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's own page is active (latest post 2026-10-01). |

| 2026-10-02 | White Star Dental Clinic | Facebook presence checked on 2026-10-02: the clinic's own page is active (latest post 2025-02-12). |
| 2026-10-01 | Platinum Orthodontics & Advanced Dentistry | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: the clinic has a Go Africa Online business page with its address, website and phone, so presence on other review platforms is now marked yes. |
| 2026-10-01 | Robinson Medical and Dental Clinic | Re-checked on 2026-10-01: the Google listing "Robinson Dental and Beauty Bar" is this clinic - its pin lies in Lashibi (Regimanuel Gray Estate), the HeFRA locality, and its own storefront photo carries the Robinson Dental Clinic name and phone. The listing is now attributed: rating 5.0 from 168 reviews, recent reviews, no owner replies, no recurring complaints, phone, map, hours and a premises photo. |
| 2026-09-29 | Adombi Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-29 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |

| 2026-09-29 | Framada Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies; review count 21 (was 19) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-16). |
| 2026-09-29 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints and no suspicious review patterns now unverified: 4 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 4 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Mayak Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints and no suspicious review patterns now unverified: 2 Google reviews are too few to show a pattern; clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 2 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Omabod Dental & Wellness Center | Corrected 2026-09-29: Google rating 4.8 (was 4.9) and review count 90 (was 81) from the Google listing on 2026-09-25; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-25). |
| 2026-09-29 | Stelin Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies; review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-06-16). |
| 2026-09-29 | White Star Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 3 reviews were checked for owner replies. |
| 2026-09-25 | Adombi Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (no website is published there). Recorded: no prices of any kind on the Google profile, so all seven price fields are false rather than unproven; a genuine interior photo (framed licences and mission plaque) on the listing; Saturday opening hours; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Most other fields remain unverified because the clinic has no website or other own channel to read: no dentist names, service list, equipment, WhatsApp, language or booking information could be checked. |
| 2026-09-25 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole site (all 71 pages in its sitemap and menu) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant or X-ray prices published anywhere on the site; the clinic states in a reply on its Google listing that it charges no consultation fee (specialist consultations are charged); a Facebook link in the footer; no TripAdvisor presence; no WhatsApp or Line contact; only general enquiry forms, not a booking widget with service or time selection; individual service pages explain procedures rather than just naming them; Saturday opening hours; around 22 dedicated per-procedure service pages. Still unverified: presence on other review platforms, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Community Dental Practice | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's one-page site (its other 200 posts are unrelated gambling articles, not clinic content) and its Google listing (no reviews). Recorded: no dentist is named on the site; eleven dental specialties are listed and individually explained, including orthodontics, oral surgery and pediatric dentistry, but implants and X-rays are not mentioned, so all seven price fields are false; the site's four phone numbers differ from the number on the Google listing; the address is Tema Community 25 with an embedded map (the footer label says HFC Estate, Accra); a Facebook link; no WhatsApp contact; no online booking form; Saturday opening hours; Organization structured data; a genuine treatment-room photo on the Google listing; no TripAdvisor presence. Reputation fields stay unset because the listing has no reviews. |
| 2026-09-25 | Esperanza Dental Consult | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's own site (about-us, services, contact, appointment-booking pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no dentist is named anywhere on the site; services are described only as four generic department tiles, not itemized dental procedures, so no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray price is published; a Facebook link; no real WhatsApp contact (only a generic share-widget mention of the word); a genuine multi-step booking form with clinic, department and date/time selection; Saturday and Sunday opening hours; Organization structured data on the homepage; a genuine reception photo on the Google listing; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Still unverified: equipment, specific dental procedures offered, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Framada Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's site (home, about, services and its three category pages, contact, appointments, FAQ) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published anywhere; tooth extraction documented; the FAQ says the clinic treats children; a Facebook link; an appointment form with service and preferred-date selection; each service explained on its category page, though key treatments have no page of their own; Saturday opening hours; genuine photos of the clinic's own X-ray-unit signage and a treatment room on the Google listing; no TripAdvisor presence. Still unverified: CBCT, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole multi-branch site (134 pages from its sitemaps) and its Kumasi/Abrepo Junction Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published anywhere; the site names its Facebook page; tooth extraction (incl. wisdom teeth) documented; a WhatsApp chat button on every page; an online scheduling widget with selectable appointment times; detailed per-procedure explanations; 10 dedicated service pages; Saturday and Sunday opening hours; no TripAdvisor presence. The site's About Us page carries an unrelated theme-demo company history (a fictional New York clinic) which was not used as evidence. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Takoradi/Adisco Junction Google listing (unclaimed, no reviews) and its shared multi-branch site (134 pages). Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published anywhere on the site; the site names its Facebook page; a WhatsApp chat button and an online scheduling widget with selectable times; tooth extraction documented; individual service pages explain each procedure; 10 dedicated service pages; Saturday opening hours on the listing; no TripAdvisor presence and absence from WhatClinic's Takoradi catalogue; the listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible. |
| 2026-09-25 | Mayak Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (no website is published there). Recorded: no prices of any kind on the Google profile, so all seven price fields are false rather than unproven; the newest of the listing's two reviews dates to 2022, so review recency is older; Saturday and Sunday opening hours; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Most other fields remain unverified: the clinic's only public channel is its Google listing, which does not name staff, list services or equipment, or offer online booking; its two roadside-signboard photos do not clearly show the premises interior or team. |
| 2026-09-25 | Newshorn Dental Consult | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole site (23 pages from its menu: dental-service, aesthetic, about, branch and contact pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published anywhere; extractions documented; a named customer-service representative handles WhatsApp/phone bookings rather than an on-site form; detailed per-procedure explanations; 7 dedicated service pages; a genuine reception photo on the Google listing; Saturday opening hours; no TripAdvisor presence. Still unverified: Facebook presence, emergency care (the site's only emergency paragraph names a different practice), CBCT, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Omabod Dental & Wellness Center | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's whole site (70 pages from its sitemaps and menu, including its cost articles) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant or X-ray prices published (the site asks patients to call for current prices); the homepage FAQ offers a free initial consultation; the site names its Facebook page; no TripAdvisor presence; wisdom-tooth extraction documented as a service; the appointment form is a general enquiry form without service or time selection; individual service pages explain procedures in depth; Saturday opening hours; 41 dedicated per-procedure pages; a genuine staff photo and storefront signage on the Google listing. Still unverified: CBCT, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Platinum Orthodontics & Advanced Dentistry | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing, including its newest reviews, and its whole site (75 pages from its sitemaps, including an empty Fees page). Corrected: the owner does reply to reviews - replies dated 17 September 2026 appear under the newest reviews. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published; a Facebook link and a genuine building photo on the Google listing; treatment pages open with explanatory text rather than bare labels; distinct pages per treatment/category; the site's "Book Online" link leads only to a general enquiry form, not a booking widget; Saturday and weekday-evening hours; no TripAdvisor presence and absence from WhatClinic's Greater Accra catalogue. Still unverified: X-ray/CBCT equipment, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Right Dental Care | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing and its own site, including the client code that renders its pages. Recorded: genuine treatment-room and waiting-room photos on the Google listing; Dental Implants, Teeth Straightening (orthodontics) and Kids Dentistry as public service categories; a WhatsApp contact link used as the site's main booking call to action, though it is a chat link rather than an on-site form with service or time selection; Saturday opening hours; no TripAdvisor presence and absence from WhatClinic's Greater Accra catalogue. Still unverified: Facebook presence, X-ray/CBCT equipment, emergency care and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-25 | Robinson Medical and Dental Clinic | Re-checked on 2026-09-25: Google's place search for this clinic's registered name in Lashibi returns only "Robinson Dental and Beauty Bar" in neighbouring Community 18 (Tema West). With a different name, a different locality and no phone or street address on file to compare, that listing is not attributed to this clinic. Recorded: the clinic is absent from WhatClinic's Greater Accra catalogue and from TripAdvisor's own search. Still unverified: website, contact details, prices, services and Google reputation. |
| 2026-09-25 | Stelin Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing (no website is published there). Recorded: no prices of any kind on the Google profile, so all seven price fields are false rather than unproven; genuine storefront and reception photos on the listing; Saturday opening hours; no TripAdvisor or WhatClinic presence found. Most other fields remain unverified because the clinic has no website or other own channel to read: no dentist names, service list, equipment, WhatsApp, language or booking information could be checked. |
| 2026-09-25 | White Star Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's own pages (home, about-us, team, services, FAQ, testimonials, contact, booking) and its Google listing. Recorded: no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray prices published (a testimonial recalls a 2016 implant cost, not a fee list); child and adolescent dentistry listed on the about-us page; no emergency service documented; no WhatsApp/Line contact; the online booking page shows an unrendered plugin placeholder rather than a working form; each listed treatment carries its own short explanation; Saturday opening hours; genuine photos of a treatment session and the clinic's own corridor on the Google listing; no TripAdvisor presence. Corrected: the site does mention a "Dr Ansah" (in a patient testimonial), so the earlier finding that no dentist is named is withdrawn; the team page itself lists a dental assistant and two dental technologists. The site also carries unrelated demo blog posts left over from its website theme, which were not used as evidence. Still unverified: Facebook presence, X-ray/CBCT equipment, English-speaking and works-with-foreigners claims. |
| 2026-09-10 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 3 dentists confirmed via the clinic's own dentists roster page https://www.betheldentalghana.com/doctors/ (not previously fetched -- the previously-fetched /about-the-staff/ page lists only hygienists/assistants/management, a separate roster); sources added. |
| 2026-09-10 | Right Dental Care | Name-verification write-back 2026-09-10: 1 dentist (Esi Fuaba Afful) confirmed via the clinic's own og:description meta tag (the page body is a client-rendered SPA with no server-side text); source added. |
| 2026-09-09 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The sedation page publishes nitrous oxide only and says the practice prefers it to oral and intravenous sedation; local anaesthesia is delivered with The Wand. The patient stays awake. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-09-09 | Platinum Orthodontics & Advanced Dentistry | Sedation criterion re-read against methodology 1.4.0, which counts only general anaesthesia or deep intravenous sedation where the patient is asleep and unaware. The sedation page publishes nitrous oxide and intravenous sedation, describing the intravenous option as leaving the patient "conscious but less aware"; no general anaesthesia or asleep-and-unaware sedation is documented. The value moves from true to false: what this practice offers is published, and it is not sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-09-07 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Close-out, 2026-09-07: the two betheldentalghana.com pages that blocked were read — the gallery settles realClinicPhotos with a negative and the technology page re-confirms the cone-beam CT on the clinic's own publication. |
| 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 | White Star Dental Clinic | Close-out, 2026-09-07: the clinic's own /our-team page was read and the existing negative is now evidenced directly rather than inferred. |

| 2026-09-05 | Framada Dental Clinic | Manual browser check: rendered framadadental.com in full. Confirmed it is the live clinic site (the Google listing links it), and that it publishes only partial clinician names, which is why neither dentist can be matched in the MDC register. |
| 2026-09-05 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Checked by hand in a browser: Google Maps place page read live for rating, review count, star histogram, review recency, owner replies, complaint and manipulation reading and pin coordinates; the clinic Facebook page opened for reputation.onFacebook; the five canonical visibility queries re-run as browser SERPs. |

| 2026-09-04 | Adombi Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: MDC Permanent Register 2022 (names a licensed dentist at this exact clinic) and HeFRA facility-licence PDF. No clinic-owned website or social-media channel could be reached: direct domain guesses failed, Facebook did not open and no search could be run that day, so the search is queued for a further check. All clinic-published criteria (services, dentist names, prices) are left null, not false, since no clinic channel was reached to check them. |
| 2026-09-04 | Bethel Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: betheldentalghana.com, MDC Permanent Register 2022, HeFRA Facilities-with-Valid-Licence PDF, five canonical visibility queries. Google Maps rating/geo not collected (Chrome MCP forbidden in this research pass) —. |
| 2026-09-04 | Community Dental Practice | Initial data collection: HeFRA facility-licence PDF only. A Yandex Maps search under this name returned an unrelated Turkish company (fuzzy-match failure) and was not used. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null; addressAndMap left null given the single-source situation. |
| 2026-09-04 | Esperanza Dental Consult | Initial data collection: HeFRA facility-licence PDF (legal entity) cross-checked by district against a third-party maps listing giving the trading name and street address. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null. |
| 2026-09-04 | Framada Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: framadadental.com (framadadentalclinic.com blocked, HTTP 403), Instagram (clinic channel), HeFRA PDF. HeFRA entry's address/ownership do not match the web-sourced address — flagged, not merged. Web search budget exhausted before canonical visibility queries could be run for this clinic — aiVisibility left null throughout. |
| 2026-09-04 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: gengimeddentalclinic.com homepage + contact page, HeFRA PDF. Site carries leftover WordPress-theme demo content (dead pricing link, a Hanoi-hospital Maps embed) — treated as evidence of no real pricing page rather than ignored. A second Kumasi address ("Bantama High Street 75") surfaced on a third-party maps listing and is unresolved — queued for a manual browser check. |
| 2026-09-04 | Gengimed Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: gengimeddentalclinic.com contact page (confirms real Takoradi branch), HeFRA PDF. Criteria mirror the Kumasi/Accra branch findings since all three share one chain-wide site. Canonical visibility queries not run for Takoradi (web search budget exhausted) — aiVisibility left null. |
| 2026-09-04 | Mayak Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: HeFRA facility-licence PDF plus a third-party maps listing for street-level address corroboration. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located (MDC register has no "Mayak" entry) — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null. |
| 2026-09-04 | Newshorn Dental Consult | Initial data collection: newshorndentalconsults.com, MDC Permanent Register 2022, HeFRA PDF, canonical visibility queries (adapted set — see notes; web search budget exhausted before all 5 discrete queries could be run per-clinic). |
| 2026-09-04 | Omabod Dental & Wellness Center | Initial data collection: omabodent.com (incl. sitemap-listed service pages), MDC Permanent Register 2022, HeFRA PDF, canonical visibility queries. Google Maps fields not collected — queued for a manual browser check. |
| 2026-09-04 | Platinum Orthodontics & Advanced Dentistry | Initial data collection: platinum-dental.com (incl. embedded schema.org data), MDC Permanent Register 2022 (3 of 5 named dentists found by exact address match), HeFRA PDF, canonical visibility queries. Google Maps rating/reviews not collected — queued for a manual browser check; a search-snippet figure ("4.7 from 109 reviews") was seen but is explicitly not used as it is not a live Maps reading. |
| 2026-09-04 | Right Dental Care | Initial data collection: rightdentalcare.com is a React SPA that answers automated requests with HTTP 406 and returned only a page title, not its full content — team/prices/services remain unconfirmed. Address/phone/dentist name corroborated via Instagram (clinic channel) and third-party directories; MDC and HeFRA checked. |
| 2026-09-04 | Robinson Medical and Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: HeFRA facility-licence PDF only. A same-name Yandex Maps hit resolved to "Ring Road Central, Accra", inconsistent with HeFRA's Lashibi/Tema address, and was excluded as a likely different business (namesake risk) rather than used as a weak second source — flagged, not merged. No clinic-owned website/social channel or named dentist located — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null; addressAndMap left null given the single-source situation. |
| 2026-09-04 | Stelin Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: MDC Permanent Register 2022 (names a licensed dentist at this exact clinic) plus a third-party maps existence check. Not found in HeFRA under this trading name. No clinic-owned website/social channel located — queued for a manual browser check. All clinic-published criteria left null. |
| 2026-09-04 | White Star Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: whitestardentalclinic.com (incl. team page), HeFRA PDF, canonical visibility queries. No dentist named anywhere on site — a genuine checked-false, not an unchecked gap. |
| 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 | 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. |
| 2026-08-23 | Methodology v1.2.0 | Added an informational "Sedation & general anaesthesia" availability field to every clinic and a new "Sleep Dentistry (Sedation / GA)" list, for patients who cannot tolerate — or would rather not be awake for — treatment. This field is informational and does not change any transparency score. |
| 2026-07-08 | Methodology v1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
| 2026-07-03 | Methodology v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
