Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 4 review orders (12 distinct reviews, dated 2021-07-23 to 2026-07-06; 4.7 from 90): owner replies false. |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the four pending Tijuana queries: not present for "best dentist Tijuana", "English speaking dentist Tijuana", "emergency dentist Tijuana", "Tijuana dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: The implant, crown, root canal, veneers and cosmetic pages, and the full service menu, re-read; No cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray price found on any service page; 3D X-ray/CT scanning used for implant planning; the clinic performs implant surgery itself; No pediatric dentistry service found; Emergency dental service listed on the clinic's Google category; Structured business data present; Google 4.7 from 90 reviews; recurring complaints recorded about a metal instrument fragment left in a tooth after root canal work. Still unverified: whether the owner replies to reviews. |
| 2026-08-26 | License verification 2026-08-26 against CLUES: registry's master-file download timed out and it has no search form, so this clinic's license could not be found or ruled false; recorded null. No individual dentists are named on the clinic's site, so no RNP dentist-registry lookups were attempted. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Clinic states implant placement is done under general anesthesia |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website (pacificimplantcenters.com) live, address and phone unchanged; captured Google rating 4.7 (91 reviews, was unset) and place URL/coordinates. Correction noted: the Google Business Profile for this address/phone/website now displays under the name 'Pacific Dental Tijuana' rather than 'Pacific Implant Center'. Sedation research: clinic's own site states implant placement is 'performed under general anesthesia' (true). |
