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 | Anveli Dental | Corrected on 2026-10-07: the card already listed the clinic's prices for a crown, an implant and a consultation from its prices page, while the general entry on published prices still said no. The page was read again on 2026-10-07 (implants, three kinds of crown and full-arch treatments, each with a price) and the entry now says yes. Nothing else on the card was re-read. |
| 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. |
| 2026-10-07 | VM Dent | Corrected on 2026-10-07: the card already listed the clinic's prices for a crown, an implant and a consultation from its implantology and contact pages, while the general entry on published prices still said no. The implantology page was read again on 2026-10-07 (five priced treatments) and the entry now says yes. Nothing else on the card was re-read. |
| 2026-10-05 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Corrected on 2026-10-05: the card had been tied to a second Google listing of the dentist (ul. Todor Kozhuharov 16, 10 reviews). The clinic's own website gives bul. Hristo Botev 94a and links the listing there, so the address, map and website links and the review data (4.9 from 59 reviews, recency, replies, review patterns) now come from that listing. |
| 2026-10-05 | Markov-Dent | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 6 review orders (12 distinct reviews, dated 2020-01-23 to 2026-09-15; 4.6 from 72): owner replies false. |
| 2026-10-05 | Sofia Dental | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 6 review orders (14 distinct reviews, dated 2018-02-11 to 2025-07-15; 5.0 from 35): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Markov-Dent | Read the clinic's website HTML on 2026-10-02: structured data: absent. |
| 2026-10-02 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | Read the clinic's website HTML on 2026-10-02: structured data: present. |
| 2026-10-01 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, SuperDoc or Bookimed, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Searched TripAdvisor on 2026-10-01 for the clinic by both of its names: no TripAdvisor listing, so TripAdvisor presence is recorded as absent. |
| 2026-10-01 | Markov-Dent | Review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, SuperDoc, Trustpilot or Bookimed, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Sofia Dental | Review platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, SuperDoc, Trustpilot or Bookimed, so "reviewed on other platforms" changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-30 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name, by the dentist's name in Cyrillic and by its phone number; none of the searches found a page of the clinic, and its website links none. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-29 | Anveli Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2025-11-07). |
| 2026-09-29 | Anveli Dental | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Corrected 2026-09-29: address and map published and the cleaning, filling, crown, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | IG Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-05-07); red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists. |
| 2026-09-29 | IG Dental | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. The "3D-navigated dentistry" phrase noted earlier was not found on the about-us or contacts pages, so X-ray and CBCT stay unrecorded. |
| 2026-09-29 | Impression Dent | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: the site's only "tripadvisor" occurrence is an unused icon-sprite id from a reviews-widget plugin, not a real link; no matching profile found. |
| 2026-09-29 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Markov-Dent | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Markov-Dent | Facebook presence re-checked directly on Facebook (no link found on the clinic's site): a page under the clinic's exact name and matching address was found. |
| 2026-09-29 | Medstom Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-21). |
| 2026-09-29 | Medstom Dental Clinic | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Ortodent Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-21); red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists. |
| 2026-09-29 | Ortodent Dental Clinic | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Ortodent Dental Clinic | Checked whether the clinic is listed on other review platforms: WhatClinic carries a profile for it as "Dental Clinic 'Orthodent'", whose founding dentist is the clinic's chief dentist and owner; the profile shows a different street address (106 Tsar Asen St.). |
| 2026-09-29 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 5 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | Checked whether the clinic is listed on other review platforms: it is absent from WhatClinic's full Sofia dentist catalogue, has no TripAdvisor listing, and neither its site nor its Google listing links a review platform. |
| 2026-09-29 | Sofia Dental | Corrected 2026-09-29: red flag "No dentists identified anywhere" removed: it contradicted the recorded finding that the clinic names its dentists. |
| 2026-09-29 | Sofia Dental | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | Sofia Implant Centre | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: none found on either channel. |
| 2026-09-29 | VM Dent | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 183 (was 174) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-29 | VM Dent | Checked TripAdvisor's own search and the clinic's website for a TripAdvisor profile: the site's only "tripadvisor" occurrence is an unused Font Awesome icon class, not a real link; no matching profile found. |
| 2026-09-17 | Anveli Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's price page, service pages and basal-implant surgery page (English, with Russian-language detail on imaging), plus its Google listing. Recorded: crown, implant and free-consultation pricing published; no separate cleaning, filling or imaging fee; a pre-surgical 3D scan documented; no orthodontics, pediatric or emergency service; a remote quote/consultation path; Google Business Profile hours extending to 9 PM on weekdays; Organization structured data on the site; no recurring complaints or manipulation signs in the Google reviews, which the clinic answers. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-17 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's own live site at its alternate address (the two previously-recorded domains remain offline), and its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published (cleaning, fillings and implants are mentioned only as unpriced promotions); no orthodontics or pediatric dentistry; no WhatsApp; no online consultation mechanism, booking by phone only; opening hours including both Saturday and Sunday; a working listing on the Grabo.bg platform. Google reviews (8 of 10 read) are all 5-star with no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; on-site imaging equipment; a documented emergency service (one review describes an urgent weekend booking, not enough on its own). |
| 2026-09-17 | IG Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's Bulgarian-language price list, team page and contact page (the English site does not carry this detail), plus its Google listing. Corrected: a full price list is in fact published (cleaning, filling, crowns, implants and a priced routine exam), and three dentists are named with biographies on the team page — both previously recorded as not published. Recorded: aligner orthodontics offered; emergency care as a Google Business Profile category; no WhatsApp; opening hours to 19:00 on weekdays; Dentist/Organization structured data on the site. Google reviews show no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; on-site imaging equipment; whether the single 1-star review reflects a wider pattern. |
| 2026-09-17 | Impression Dent | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website is now directly reachable (previously not directly fetchable) — its X-ray diagnostics, team, contacts, services, crown and implant/surgery pages in English, plus its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published anywhere despite an extensive site; own digital segmental/panoramic X-ray equipment, no CBCT; children's orthodontic treatment offered; no WhatsApp; an online booking form with file upload; hours to 20:00 on weekdays; Organization structured data; own-hosted team photos. Google reviews are recent, individually answered even when critical, and show no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; a documented same-day emergency service (not a Google Business Profile category and only incidental 'emergency' wording in unrelated blog posts). |
| 2026-09-17 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's English and Bulgarian prices pages, service list and contacts page, plus its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; implants, orthodontic treatment, oral surgery and pediatric dentistry not offered; short-notice weekend appointments for urgent problems; no WhatsApp; no structured data on the site. Google reviews show no signs of manipulation and are individually answered, including a disputed 1-star review. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence and whether the clinic has a Facebook page (none linked from the site or its Google listing). |
| 2026-09-17 | Markov-Dent | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's detailed itemised Bulgarian-language price list and site-wide contact footer, plus its Google listing. Corrected: a very detailed price list is in fact published, covering exams, cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants and X-rays — previously recorded as not published. Recorded: an explicit out-of-hours/emergency surcharge policy; own sectoral X-ray equipment, no CBCT; no orthodontics; no WhatsApp; no online consultation/booking mechanism; hours to 20:00 on weekdays. Google reviews include two independent complaints about high prices relative to quality, but no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor and Facebook presence (no link found on the site); whether the clinic works with international patients. |
| 2026-09-17 | Medstom Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's two dedicated price-list pages, X-ray page, branch gallery and price page in English, plus its Google listing. Recorded: a full published price list (exam, cleaning, fillings, crowns, implants); own panoramic/intraoral X-ray equipment with a 3D imaging mode; a WhatsApp/Viber number for sending X-rays and getting a remote treatment plan; branch photo gallery; hours to 20:00 on weekdays with Saturday opening. Google reviews show two independent complaints about unexpected charges (billing not fully explained in advance) but no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; a documented same-day emergency service (the site states only a general professional duty to treat acute cases, and the Google category list does not include emergency dental service). |
| 2026-09-17 | Ortodent Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's team page, detailed itemised price list, dedicated service pages and contact page in Bulgarian, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic in fact names six dentists (including a dedicated oral surgeon) with bio pages, publishes a full street address, and a very detailed price list covering exams through implants and orthodontics — all three previously recorded as not published or district-only. Recorded: X-ray use advertised free of charge, implantology and oral surgery documented; no WhatsApp; English-language service shown by independent review evidence though the site has no English version; ten dedicated service pages. Google reviews show no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor and other review-platform presence; a documented emergency/same-day service. |
| 2026-09-17 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's full service list, team, contact and hours pages in English, plus its Google listing. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; implantology, orthodontics, oral surgery and emergency care not among the clinic's services; no WhatsApp/LINE; online appointment booking available; hours Monday-Friday 8:00-17:30 with no weekend opening. Google reviews (all 5) are positive with no owner replies and no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor and other review-platform presence; on-site imaging equipment. |
| 2026-09-17 | Sofia Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's about, services, gallery and contact pages in English, plus its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic's About page names and credentials its owner-dentist, previously recorded as not named (a separate 'Team' section on the site is unfinished placeholder content and was not used as evidence); a photo gallery of the premises is published. Recorded: no prices published for any treatment; no orthodontics or pediatric dentistry; no WhatsApp; an online consultation-request form. Google reviews (all 5) are positive, individually answered, with no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; on-site imaging equipment. |
| 2026-09-17 | Sofia Implant Centre | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's transparent-pricing service page, FAQ and working-hours page, plus its Google listing. Recorded: cleaning, filling, imaging and a free initial consultation now priced or documented; an own CBCT scanner; a dedicated emergency-care contact; no orthodontics or pediatric service; Friday hours to 22:00 and Saturday opening on the clinic's own site, longer than the hours shown on its Google listing; no structured data found on the site; no recurring complaints or manipulation signs in the Google reviews, which the clinic answers even when critical. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-17 | VM Dent | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's service pages (implantology, periodontology, aesthetic dentistry), contact page and full service list in English, plus its Google listing. Recorded: implant and bundled implant-crown pricing, and a free consultation, published; no standalone cleaning, filling or imaging price; a panoramic X-ray and oral surgery (extractions, cyst removal, sinus lift) documented, no CBCT; no pediatric or emergency service; a WhatsApp contact channel; no structured data found on the site. Google reviews are recent, positive, individually answered by the clinic, and show no signs of manipulation. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-17 | VM Dent | Aligned with the clinic's entry on bulgariadentalrating.com: recorded General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) (yes) from sources read on 2026-09-17. |
| 2026-09-10 | Anveli Dental | Twin parity review 2026-09-10: the licence number the twin card publishes for "Dr. Glavinov" was deliberately not copied here — both cards read the same BZS search, the clinic publishes only a surname, and the twin's own licence cell calls the match "likely, not certain". The row stays "not verified"; the reasoning is in the row's internal research note. |
| 2026-09-10 | Anveli Dental | Twin-parity pass 2026-09-10: recorded that the twin card bulgaria-dental has withdrawn the hedged licence number it published for "Dr. Glavinov"; both cards now show this row as not verified. No value changed here. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Website https://dentalimplantbulgaria.com/en/ has been offline since the 2026-08-26 link sweep and was re-probed dead on 2026-09-10 (3 attempts, protocol and host variants, Maps listing checked for a replacement); removed from the card. |
| 2026-09-10 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Twin parity 2026-09-10 (clinicLicense): the two cards of this clinic published two DIFFERENT Sofia registrations, and reading all three candidates by number through the registry's record-detail endpoint today showed that neither of them was this clinic. The registration that is — 220311200724, "Dr. Radostin Uzunov … ViR DENTAL" EOOD — is owned by this card's own lead dentist, carries this card's Dr. Pascaliev among its registered staff, is active with a certificate on file, and lists the twin card's stored street address as its branch. Both cards now publish it, with the two excluded numbers and the reason for excluding each recorded in the note. |
| 2026-09-10 | Impression Dent | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10 (browser): 'Dr. Karteva' appears neither on the clinic’s own exhaustive fourteen-person team page (impressiondent.com/ekip/, read 2026-09-10) nor in the BZS national register under the Cyrillic spelling of Karteva at all (surname searches for Karteva and Kartev in that spelling both return 0 in a real browser, with a passing positive control Ivanov → 430); the one Sofia dentist whose surname romanises to “Karteva” under the statutory transliteration and whose specialty is endodontics — Dr. Teodora Georgieva Karteva (a different Cyrillic spelling of the surname), LPK 160010843 — is registered at a different practice, Sofia, bul. Tsarigradsko shose № 96, not at 13 Henrik Ibsen St.; removed. |
| 2026-09-10 | VM Dent | Twin parity 2026-09-10 (clinicLicense): this card left the clinic licence unverified; the twin card bulgaria-dental, which publishes the same clinic (same phone and website), holds a sourced value. This card tried the IAMN/his.bg registry twice by trade name ("VM" — too short to filter, "VM Dent" — 0 results, both in Cyrillic) and left it null for want of a legal-entity name; the twin searched the same registry by the named dentist instead (searchMedicalStaff="Mitov", in Cyrillic) and the clinic came out directly: 220811200593, "VI EM DENT — Outpatient clinic for individual practice for primary medical care – dental" EOOD, Sofia, statusCode 2 (active), registered 2020-05-20 — a literal transliteration of the brand. The value, the note and the twin's own cited source(s) are copied here without new research. |
| 2026-09-07 | Anveli 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 | IG 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 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Markov-Dent | 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 | ProDent Clinic Sofia | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no evidence of bait/opacity; non-publication is scored by price criteria). |
| 2026-09-07 | Sofia 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 | VM Dent | 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | Anveli Dental | License verification 2026-08-26 against BZS national dentist register and IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: clinic registration number 221613300501 exists but its record is marked deregistered (statuslabel 'Zalicheno LZ') - recorded as verified false; named doctor 'Dr. Glavinov' not disambiguated among 4 same-surname BZS members. |
| 2026-08-26 | Anveli Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/rating/operating status; added Google rating (4.7/80) with Maps source and geo/pin; confirmed sedation/general-anaesthesia offering with a source (previously null); visibility scout 5 queries; no uncited sources found to triage (all 5 stored sources already cited). |
| 2026-08-26 | Anveli Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own site (basal implant surgery page): 'general anaesthesia or sedation' offered for comfort; also general anesthesia listed as a WhatClinic service. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | License verification 2026-08-26 against BZS dentist register and IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: clinic registration found (220911200690, also cross-referenced via 220311200724); Radostin Uzunov and Pascaliev confirmed active BZS members at the same Tsar Simeon 132 address; Boteva not disambiguated among 9 same-surname members. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Deepen 2026-08-26: IMPORTANT - both the clinic's known domains, dentalimplantbulgaria.com and its rebrand wirdental.com, are unreachable today (connection refused, same server IP) - the site is effectively dead. However the clinic itself is confirmed operating: its Google Business listing (now titled 'Radostin Uzunov - Dentalna klinika' (dental clinic) / 'WiR Dental') is active with recent reviews at a newly-confirmed address, ul. Todor Kozhuharov 16 (previously only 'Sofia, Bulgaria' was on file), cross-confirmed via the doctor's own Google Sites professional page (external, still live) and phone match; added Google rating (5.0/10) and a live Facebook page (WIRDENTAL Dental Centre) as external sources; visibility scout 5 queries - not present in any; no uncited sources found to triage; no sedation info found (left null). |
| 2026-08-26 | Dental Implant Bulgaria (ViR Dental) | Link-rot cleanup 2026-08-26: pruning 1 dead source(s) confirmed unreachable in an external-link check (checked 2026-08-26) and re-confirmed dead by direct recheck where applicable. s11 [https://dentalimplantbulgaria.com/en/]: https://dentalimplantbulgaria.com/en/ (attempt1: Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: dentalimplantbulgaria.com:443, timeout: 10000ms); attempt2 (+30s): Connect Timeout Error (attempted address: dentalimplantbulgaria.com:443, timeout: 10000ms), other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-26 | IG Dental | License verification 2026-08-26 against IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: no clinic registration identified for IG Dental under the variants tried; no named doctors on the clinic's site to check against BZS. |
| 2026-08-26 | IG Dental | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (unchanged); added Google rating (4.2/15) and a WhatClinic listing as external sources; confirmed genuine general-anaesthesia offering (true) with a dedicated source page - a strong sedation-cohort finding; visibility scout 5 queries - not present in any; no uncited sources found to triage. |
| 2026-08-26 | IG Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Dedicated service page: general anaesthesia offered, useful for dentophobia, children and lengthy procedures; team experienced treating severely damaged patients under general anaesthesia. |
| 2026-08-26 | Impression Dent | License verification 2026-08-26 against BZS dentist register and IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: founder Dr. Byalev confirmed active BZS member at Impression Dent's own address, with matching clinic registration found (220911200751); Yana Mohammad-Byaleva and Karteva not found under name/surname variants tried (recorded as null, not false). |
| 2026-08-26 | Impression Dent | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (unchanged); added Google rating (4.8/220) and a Bulgarian dental-clinics Facebook community discussion as external sources; recorded a recurring-complaints pattern (pricing/quality) visible across two independent Google reviews plus the community thread (previously null); visibility scout 5 queries - appears only for expats; sedation left null - one community comment said general anaesthesia is not offered, another implied it was used elsewhere in the same thread, so the evidence is contradictory and not treated as reliable; no uncited sources found to triage. |
| 2026-08-26 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | License verification 2026-08-26 against BZS dentist register and IAMN/his.bg outpatient-care registry: Dr. Manya Pencheva confirmed active BZS member at JolyDent's own address; matching clinic registration found (221011200735). |
| 2026-08-26 | JolyDent (Sofia-Dentist.com) | Deepen 2026-08-26: rechecked website/contacts/operating status (unchanged); added Google rating (4.5/10) and a Bulgaria expat-directory listing (mybulgariacenter.com) as external sources; visibility scout 5 queries - appears only for englishSpeaking; no uncited sources found to triage; no sedation info found (left null). |

| 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. |
