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 |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-01 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | Re-read on the clinic's own website (homepage, about, services and its patient brochures, over plain http): CBCT (Planmeca panoramic and CT units), orthodontics, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery and daily 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. hours recorded, and IV sedation documented in the wisdom-tooth brochure; X-ray, implants, emergency care and international patients now rest on the site instead of a third-party review; no structured data and no separate service pages; the 'no dentists listed' flag now rests on the site and Facebook page themselves. |
| 2026-10-01 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: no profile of the clinic on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed or Trustpilot; the gurulist.net page cited before repeats Google ratings and is not a review platform; changed from yes to no. |
| 2026-09-30 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | Re-read 2026-09-30 on the clinic's own website (all pages over plain http, plus its patient brochures), its Facebook page and its Google listing. Recorded: a published service list, clear contacts, an English website with German, Japanese and Thai versions, the address with a map, and real clinic photos; no published prices and no cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation or X-ray price. Dentist names and specializations remain not listed, now confirmed on the clinic's own website. The note that the website could not be reached was corrected: it loads over plain http. |
| 2026-09-29 | Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-22). |
| 2026-09-29 | Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic — Nana Branch (MALO) | Corrected 2026-09-29: owner replies to reviews confirmed on the Google listing (owner reply dated 2026-09-14). |
| 2026-09-29 | Smile and Shine Dental Clinic | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29: read from the clinic's English and Thai website (home, price list, a dedicated implant-price page, dentists, about, contact, FAQ and technology pages, and the page sitemap), its Google listing (histogram, the most relevant, newest and lowest-rated reviews, owner replies, opening hours, photos), the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities, the Dental Council of Thailand register and TripAdvisor's own search. Recorded: operating licence 10103012665 (valid until 31 December 2031), which the clinic's own website does not display; a standing fee list including single-tooth implant prices by brand and a no-cost consultation; 15 named dentists with degrees and fields, 14 confirmed on the Dental Council register and one not found under the name as published; CBCT and digital X-ray on site; schema.org Dentist markup on the home page; a Google rating of 5.0 from 1,156 reviews with the owner replying to praise and to complaints alike and no recurring complaint pattern; a LINE contact channel; severe out-of-hours emergencies referred to the nearest hospital; local anaesthesia only, no general anaesthesia or deep sedation documented. |
| 2026-09-29 | Smile and Shine Dental Clinic | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-29 for the five standard Bangkok queries: present for "English speaking dentist Bangkok"; not present for "best dentist Bangkok", "dental implants Bangkok", "emergency dentist Bangkok" and "Bangkok dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-29 | SmileBox Dental Clinic (Thonglor Branch) | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29: the clinic's website (home, team, price, contact, Thonglor branch, X-ray, sedation, surgical extractions, paediatric dentistry, virtual-consultation and suggested-treatment-plan pages, and the full site sitemap), its Google listing, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Recorded: operating licence 10103006866 for the Thonglor clinic (valid until 31 December 2032); 23 named dentists grouped by specialization, two of them confirmed on the Dental Council register (the others are published in Latin script only, and the register is searched by Thai name); a Thai-baht price list covering general, restorative, cosmetic, implant, prosthodontic, surgical, orthodontic, endodontic and paediatric treatment; on-site X-ray and CBCT imaging with prices; WhatsApp and LINE contact; a documented paid virtual consultation with photo and X-ray review and a written treatment plan before travel; a schema.org Dentist entity on the home page. Google: 4.9 from 772 reviews, newest dated 2026-09-28, with an individual owner reply to each of the five lowest-rated reviews and a repeated complaint across several of them about waiting past the scheduled appointment time. Not found: a TripAdvisor listing (TripAdvisor's own search returns no match). Not established: whether the IV-sedation and partner-hospital sedation options leave the patient asleep and unaware, and a profile on other review platforms. |
| 2026-09-29 | SmileBox Dental Clinic (Thonglor Branch) | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-29 for the five standard Bangkok queries: present for "dental implants Bangkok"; not present for "best dentist Bangkok", "English speaking dentist Bangkok", "emergency dentist Bangkok" and "Bangkok dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-18 | Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's English and Thai site, its Google listing and lowest-rated reviews, its Facebook page, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Corrected: the Ratchadaphisek clinic holds operating licence 10103003359 (valid until 2035), which had not been matched to the register; all 65 dentists named on the clinic's site hold a licence in the Dental Council register; the site's structured data does not describe a dental clinic. Fees are shown as the standing list, with package rates to 30 September 2026 noted separately; fluoride treatment and Invisalign for children and same-day appointments by phone are documented. The clinic does not reply to Google reviews; low-rated reviews of the last two years repeat complaints about treatment beyond what was asked for and long waits past appointment times. Google: 4.8 from 1,843 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | BFC Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's English and Thai sites, the Google listing and reviews of the Bangna head office, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Corrected: the Bangna clinic holds operating licence 10103006657 (valid until 2033), which had not been recorded, and fourteen of the fifteen dentists named on this page hold a licence in the Dental Council register. The site documents CT scanning, a free initial consultation by email with an estimate, emergency services and opening hours of 10 AM to 8 PM every day; the only sedation offered is nitrous oxide. Low-rated Google reviews repeatedly describe fees not made clear before treatment, and the clinic has replied to few of them. The Facebook link now points to the clinic's active page. Google: 4.8 from 808 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | CDC Dental | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's Thai and English website, its Google listing and reviews, its Facebook page, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. The Saphan Khwai branch holds operating licence 10103002556 (valid until 2032); all fifteen dentists the clinic lists are licensed in the Dental Council register, and the licence numbers the clinic publishes for four of them are now shown. Newly recorded: dentist markup on the site, photos of the clinic, consultation fees and a free check-up, emergency pain relief, preliminary assessment from photos, and reviews on WhatClinic; no Tripadvisor listing was found. The clinic replies to most Google reviews, including critical ones; low-rated reviews repeat complaints about waiting past the appointment time and about cleaning quality. Google: 4.8 from 364 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | DentalWise Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's Thai, English and Japanese website, its Google listing and reviews, its Facebook page, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Corrected: the clinic holds operating licence 10103014859 (valid until 2035), found in the register under its Thai name; fourteen of the dentists on this card are licensed in the Dental Council register. Newly recorded: a cone-beam CT page, photos of the clinic, a page per treatment, a Japanese-language line and interpreter, and reviews on Wongnai; the price list gives no consultation or X-ray fee, the site has no dental-clinic markup, and no Tripadvisor listing was found. The clinic answers all Google reviews read, including critical ones; low-rated reviews of the last year repeat complaints about orthodontic treatment left unfinished or with a worse bite. Google: 4.7 from 201 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-18 at the clinic's request: the clinic's site, its Google listing and reviews, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Corrected: the clinic holds operating licence 10103001158 (valid until 2034), which had been recorded as not published; all nine dentists the clinic lists with licence numbers are licensed in the Dental Council register, and their numbers are now shown; the site has dentist markup and a page for each main treatment. The suspicious-reviews flag is removed: it rested on a single forum allegation. The upselling flag stays, now citing what can be checked: four patients on a travel forum in 2018–2020 and Google reviews of recent years describe pressure toward extra or costlier treatment; low-rated reviews of the last five years carry no reply. Google: 4.7 from 1,073 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's English and Thai sites, the Google listing and reviews of the Ratchadaphisek head office, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. The head office holds operating licence 10103002557 (valid until 2033), and the fifteen dentists named on this page hold a licence in the Dental Council register. The fee list gives standing prices for check-ups (free), X-rays, cleaning, fillings, crowns and root canal treatment; implant fees are shown only as promotions. The site also describes 3D CT scanning, children's dentistry and same-day appointments by phone. Four Google reviewers state that the clinic offered a discount or a promotional price in return for a review, several low-rated reviews describe long waits or an appointment not kept, and the clinic does not reply to Google reviews. Google: 5.0 from 2,834 reviews. |
| 2026-09-18 | Thantakit International Dental Center | Re-read on 2026-09-18 together with a neighbouring clinic's re-read: the clinic's English and Thai site, its Google listing and lowest-rated reviews, its Facebook page, the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities and the Dental Council of Thailand register. Confirmed: operating licence 10103004657 (valid until 2033); the four dentists shown here and 42 other dentists named on the clinic's site hold a licence in the Dental Council register. Added from the clinic's own pages: photos of the premises, a LINE contact and e-mail address, walk-in emergency care; opening hours from the clinic's Google listing. The clinic replies to most low-rated Google reviews; reviews of the last year repeat complaints about bills above the quote, including two recent Invisalign cases. The site's structured data does not describe a dental clinic. The earlier rating of reply speed is withdrawn: no source that can be checked supports it. Google: 4.9 from 3,127 reviews. |
| 2026-09-10 | CDC Dental | The corrections of 2026-08-26 were added to this page: clinic licence 10103002556 in the Ministry of Public Health register under the Thai trade name Chatuchak at the Saphan Khwai address, and the Dental Council register dates for the three dentists who share one surname. |
| 2026-09-10 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | The clinic licence found on 2026-08-26 was added to this page: the Ministry of Public Health register lists 'Sun Thantakam Samai Siknechoe Ratchadaphisek' (Smile Signature Dental Center Ratchadaphisek) at the clinic's address, 257/26-27 Ratchadaphisek Road, Din Daeng, with operating licence 10103002557, valid to 31 December 2033; the earlier "not published" entry is withdrawn. |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-03 | 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. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website, address, and phone unchanged; captured first-time Google rating 4.8 (1,844 reviews, previously unset) plus Maps URL and geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own site: 'total sleep (General Anesthesia)' and 'Deep Sleep Sedation' offered via alliance hospital, ASA-monitored. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) | License verification 2026-08-25: the MOPH registry confirms 2 other BIDC-branded branch clinics (EmQuartier, Siam Paragon) under license, but the specific Ratchadaphisek flagship location tracked in this record could not be matched to any registry entry under the 'BIDC' name, and its own website publishes no license number — recorded null pending identification of its exact registered legal name. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address/phone unchanged; the clinic's primary Google Maps listing now shows a rating of 4.3 (219 reviews), a notable drop from the previously recorded 4.8 (a secondary/older duplicate listing shows 4.2/75 — not used). Captured Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own site explicitly offers general anaesthesia and IV sedation with 'no re-collection of dental treatment'; calls it sleep dentistry. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) | License verification 2026-08-25: searched the MOPH private healthcare facility registry with 2 name variants (BIDH / International Dental) — no match for either; the clinic's own website also publishes no license number. clinicLicense marked verified-false per methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic — Nana Branch (MALO) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: Google Maps lists this location as 'Bangkok Smile MALO Dental Clinic' / 'Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic, Nana Branch' rather than 'Malee' — phone matches the stored number exactly, confirming it is the same clinic (likely a transliteration correction). Captured previously-unset address, Google rating 4.8 (760 reviews, up from 723), Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic — Nana Branch (MALO) | License verification 2026-08-25: searched the MOPH private healthcare facility registry with 3 name variants (Bangkok Smile / Malee Dental / Malo) — no match for any; the clinic's own website also publishes no license number. clinicLicense marked verified-false per methodology v1.3.0. |
| 2026-08-25 | BFC Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address unchanged; Bangna branch phone verified as +66 2 396 1075 via both the clinic's own site and Maps (stored +66 2 396 1073 appears outdated by one digit). Google rating steady at 4.8 (807 reviews, was 808). Captured Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | BFC Dental | License verification 2026-08-25: MOPH registry searches under the BFC brand name and an unconfirmed guess at its full expansion returned no match, and the clinic's own website publishes no license number, but the uncertain second variant falls short of the verified-false bar — recorded null. |
| 2026-08-25 | CDC Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website and both branch addresses/phones unchanged. Saphan Khwai/Phahonyothin branch (listed on Maps as 'Chatuchak Dental Center' / 'CDC Dental — Saphan Khwai') shows Google rating 4.8 (348 reviews, up from 156) and is used as the primary reputation source. Ladprao 109 branch has its own separate Maps listing at 4.9 (123 reviews) — not used for the primary rating but confirms the branch is open and unchanged. Captured primary Maps URL and geo (Saphan Khwai). |
| 2026-08-25 | CDC Dental | Licence check 2026-08-25: the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities returned no match under the names CDC and Jindachakr, so the clinic licence was shown as not published (corrected on 2026-08-26: licence 10103002556 under the Thai trade name Chatuchak). |
| 2026-08-25 | DentalWise Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address/phone unchanged; captured first-time Google rating 4.7 (199 reviews), up from the previously recorded 4.5 with no review count. Captured Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | DentalWise Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25: one MOPH registry name search (DentalWise) returned no match and the clinic's own website publishes no license number, but only a single genuine name variant was tried — recorded null rather than verified-false. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address/phone unchanged; Google rating now 4.7 (1,046 reviews), up from 4.6/850. Captured Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic | Licence check 2026-08-25: the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities returned no match under the two English-derived names tried, so the clinic licence was shown as not published (corrected on 2026-09-18: licence 10103001158). The clinic's site publishes licence numbers for its dentists; they had not yet been matched to the Dental Council register. |
| 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 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address unchanged; phone verified today as +66 2 693 6933 via both the site and Maps (stored +66 91 002 2288 was not found on either source and appears outdated). Google rating jumped to 5.0 (2,826 reviews) from 4.8/683 on the head-office Ratchada listing. Clinic's own site confirms 'total sleep dentistry' via partner BIDH. Captured Maps URL and geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. Own site states clinic partners with BIDH Dental Hospital to offer 'total sleep dentistry' for anxious patients. |
| 2026-08-25 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | Licence check 2026-08-25: the Ministry of Public Health register of private healthcare facilities returned no match under the two spellings tried, so the clinic licence was shown as not published (corrected: licence 10103002557, found on 2026-08-26). |
| 2026-08-25 | Thantakit International Dental Center | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website/address/phone unchanged; Google review count grew from 2,461 to 3,101 while rating held at 4.9; captured Maps URL and geo coordinates. |
| 2026-08-25 | Thantakit International Dental Center | License verification 2026-08-25 against the MOPH private healthcare facility registry (hosp.hss.moph.go.th): clinic establishment license 10103004657 found and matched by exact registered address. Individual dentist license numbers could not be checked against the Dental Council of Thailand — its FindDentist search requires an exact Thai-script full name and rejects Latin transliterations entirely (per this country's registry mapping), and no Thai-script names are available for this clinic's listed dentists, so no clinic in this pass had per-doctor Council results. |
| 2026-08-25 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | Re-verification 2026-08-25: both http://www.dentalhospitalbangkok.com/ and http://dentalhospitalbangkok.com/ are dead (TLS cert mismatch pointing at ns19.vwebgroup.com; browser shows a connection-error page) — website could not be confirmed live and no sedation info could be gathered from it. The clinic itself remains open and active per Google Maps (name shows generically as 'Dental Hospital'; rating 3.2, 214 reviews, up from 208, recent activity within the last month), consistent with the stored 3.2 rating. Refined address to 7 Habito Rd (Habito Mall, T77/On Nut complex) and captured Maps URL/geo. |
| 2026-08-25 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | License verification 2026-08-25 against the MOPH private healthcare facility registry: establishment license 10203000161 found, matched by house number and subdistrict/district (the clinic's own website could not be reached to cross-check, per prior notes on this record). No doctors are tracked in licensing.doctors for this clinic. |
| 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. |
| 2026-07-08 | Bangkok International Dental Center (BIDC) | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | Bangkok International Dental Hospital (BIDH) | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic — Nana Branch (MALO) | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | BFC Dental | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | CDC Dental | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | DentalWise Clinic | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | Dr. Sunil International Dental Clinic | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | Methodology v1.1.0 | Added licensing transparency: clinics are now penalised when they do not publish their operating licence, or do not list their dentists together with their professional licence numbers. Each clinic page now shows a Licensing & Credentials section. |
| 2026-07-08 | Smile Signature Dental Clinics | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | Thantakit International Dental Center | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
| 2026-07-08 | The Dental Hospital (Dental Hospital Bangkok) | Added Licensing & Credentials (methodology v1.1): clinic licence and dentists/their licence numbers. |
