Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 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). |
