Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-25 | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's home page, price list, treatment pages and sitemap, and its Google listing. Recorded: cleaning and filling prices published; X-rays, 3D CBCT and intraoral scans at no additional cost; no pediatric dentistry; emergency appointments offered through the booking form; a WhatsApp contact; a booking form with a choice of treatment; no business schema markup; no TripAdvisor listing; the phone number on file is listed on the clinic's website. Google rating is now 4.4 from 105 reviews (was 4.5 from 103); the newest review is from September 2026, with owner replies; no signs of manipulated reviews. Still unverified: the consultation fee (the site says exams needed for the treatment plan carry no additional cost). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed oceandentalcancun.com live, address/phone unchanged. Page header text now reads "Ocean Dental Cancun (Cancun Dental Specialists)", suggesting a possible brand association — noted but not independently confirmed. No Google Maps link found on site and Google Maps browse access was rate-limited , so rating/reviews could not be re-verified; no changes recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against Mexico's mapped registries (RNP - SEP cédula profesional; CLUES - Secretaría de Salud): both registries were confirmed unreachable/non-functional today (RNP connection refused/timeout; CLUES master workbook download timed out, no online search form exists). CLUES clinic-registry search not executable (workbook download timed out); RNP dentist-registry search not executable for 4 named doctor(s) (SEP cédula lookup unreachable). No new registry matches found; existing licensing data left unchanged. |
