| 2026-08-25 | City Dental Clinic CDC | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, business open (was mid-closed for daily hours at time of check, not permanently closed); captured first Google rating 4.9 (171 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | City Dental Clinic CDC | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own site lists General Anesthesia as a priced service, separate from IV conscious sedation. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dodbiba Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: found and confirmed a live official website (dodbibadental.al, previously unset) and phone (+355 4 225 1944, previously unset), both matching the Google listing exactly; refined address with house number; business open; captured first Google rating 4.8 (48 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Ekdent Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: no website is listed in the worklist or on the clinic's Google profile (still unset; only social-media pages found, none confirmed as an official site); phone confirmed unchanged and matches the Google listing exactly; address refined to the Google-listed location description (Gener 2 complex near the lake dam); business open; captured first Google rating 5.0 (119 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Elite Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, address/phone match Google listing, business open; captured first Google rating 5.0 (2,432 reviews), place URL and coordinates. Note: Google listing's own website link points to a second clinic domain (dentistalbania.it) in addition to the confirmed elitedental.al. |
| 2026-08-25 | Family Dental Care | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, business open; captured first Google rating 4.9 (254 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Family Dental Care | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Site testimonial cites 'sedazione conscia' (conscious sedation) only; no general anaesthesia mentioned. |
| 2026-08-25 | Implantus (Dr. Roland Zhuka) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (implantus.al), address unchanged, business open; own site lists two phone lines and both the stored +355 69 70 44 409 and the Google listing's +355 69 44 44 016 appear there, so no phone correction made; captured first Google rating 4.9 (530 reviews), place URL and coordinates. Note: a second Google listing 'Dr. Roland Zhuka | Dentisti in Albania' (4.9, 393 reviews, same address) exists for the same doctor/practice under a different site domain (dr-rolandzhuka.com) — the implantus.al-linked listing was used as primary. |
| 2026-08-25 | Klinika Dentare Megadent | Re-verification 2026-08-25: website megadent.al is DEAD (expired TLS certificate; both https and http connection attempts failed) — no successor site found; business itself is still active and open per its Google Maps profile (recent reviews, normal hours), so treated as operating despite the broken website. Phone corrected to +355 69 426 5603 as shown on the live Google listing (differs from stored landline +355 42 356 426, which could not be re-confirmed since the site is down). Captured first Google rating 4.9 (50 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Kristi Dental Clinic (KDK) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, business open; captured first Google rating 5.0 (10 reviews), place URL and coordinates. Note: the clinic's own site displays a self-reported '4.9/5, 152 reviews' badge that does not match the Google listing tied to this exact address/phone (5.0, 10 reviews) — recorded the directly observed Google Maps figures. |
| 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 | Tirana Dental Hospital | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, business open; captured first Google rating 4.9 (491 reviews), place URL and coordinates. Site's price list also documents a second after-hours phone (+355 67 255 4966), not used to replace the primary listed number. |
| 2026-08-25 | Tirana Dental Hospital | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own price list lists general anaesthesia (with overnight hospital stay) as a paid service. |
| 2026-08-25 | Trio Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and name/address/phone unchanged; Google rating changed 4.9→4.8 and review count 189→249 (place URL and coordinates newly captured). |
| 2026-08-25 | Trio Dental Center | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Site testimonial: patient had full rehab 'in anestesia totale' (under general anesthesia). |
| 2026-08-25 | Virtus Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address/phone unchanged, business open; captured first Google rating 5.0 (86 reviews), place URL and coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Virtus Dental Center | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. Own FAQ page documents conscious sedation only; no general anaesthesia mentioned. |
| 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. |
