Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review count 39 (was 37) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-25 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-25 for the five pending Playa del Carmen queries: not present for "best dentist Playa del Carmen", "English speaking dentist Playa del Carmen", "dental implants Playa del Carmen", "emergency dentist Playa del Carmen", "Playa del Carmen dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's single-page website (all sections) and its Google listing. Corrected: the clinic does have a live website (previously recorded as none), with a WhatsApp booking button, an implant treatment explanation that mentions tomography and X-rays for planning, and a genuine branded treatment photo — but no dentist names, no English version and no prices anywhere on it. Recorded: a Facebook link; owner replies to some reviews; no recurring complaints (only one low-rated review); no signs of manipulated reviews; not found on TripAdvisor. Still unverified: English-language service (only reviews mention it). |
| 2026-08-26 | 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. s2 [https://www.serviexperto.com/listing/dental-kaab/]: https://www.serviexperto.com/listing/dental-kaab/ (attempt1: HTTP 500; attempt2 (+30s): HTTP 500, other->stable-dead on recheck) |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's only clinic-scope registry (CLUES, DGIS): master-file host unreachable, no query could be run, clinicLicense left null. No individual dentist names are published for this clinic, so no doctor lookups applied. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed not permanently closed; found and confirmed a website (dentalkaab.com, the record on file had none); phone unchanged; Google Maps lists address as P.º Coba local 223 (differs from stored Avenida 45 Sur address) so corrected address; recorded first Google rating 4.9 (37 reviews) and geo coordinates. |
