| 2026-10-08 | ImplArt Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-10-08: the clinic's website (all 668 addresses of its sitemap, Portuguese and English, with their markup), its Google listing in four review orders (15 reviews read), and its social profiles as linked from the site. Recorded: Google 4.7 from 288 reviews, newest 2026-09-11; the owner answers reviews, including all five lowest-rated ones read; of those five, two from 2026 object that no price guidance is given before the paid first visit; contact e-mail contato@implart.com.br. Confirmed: no price list on any page — the first consultation is charged and its amount is not stated; the clinic does not treat children; own radiology centre with CT imaging; emergency appointments in business hours; online consultations with exams sent in advance; open to 19:30 on weekdays and on Saturday mornings. No value was corrected. No TripAdvisor listing was found in TripAdvisor's own search. The marketing-practices note was re-read against the pages it rests on and stays. Still unverified: the content of the clinic's Yelp page. Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-08 with the canonical São Paulo queries, read once for every clinic of the list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 2 of the four read; the query for an emergency dentist showed only round-the-clock practices, and its reading of 2026-09-23 is kept. |
| 2026-10-08 | MOAI Odontologia | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-08 with the canonical São Paulo queries, read once for every clinic of the list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted.

| 2026-10-08 | Odontoclinic Vila Mariana | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-08 with the canonical São Paulo queries, read once for every clinic of the list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted.

| 2026-10-08 | Valnella Odontologia | Visibility re-checked on 2026-10-08 with the canonical São Paulo queries, read once for every clinic of the list; AI Overviews, local results and the first page of web results all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the four read; the query for an emergency dentist showed only round-the-clock practices, and its reading of 2026-09-23 is kept. |
| 2026-10-07 | Methodology v1.4.1 | Added a limit on re-checks made at a clinic's request: the next request from the same clinic about its own page is taken up no sooner than one month after the last re-check made at its request, which is dated in the clinic's change history; requests sent earlier are not processed. Corrections reported by anyone else are handled as before. No score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Odontoclinic Vila Mariana | Re-checked on 2026-10-07 at the clinic's request, limited to the one point it raised: the marketing-practices flag. The clinic's site, all 117 pages in its sitemap and their markup, no longer gives the clinic a position among Brazilian clinics; it now says the clinic is listed in the GCR 2026 ranking and links to it. The two newspaper items on the home page and on the dentist's page are labelled as sponsored content. Both grounds of the flag are gone and the flag was removed. Nothing else on the card was re-read. |
| 2026-10-05 | Benatti Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 6 review orders (18 distinct reviews, dated 2016-08-22 to 2026-08-27; 4.9 from 424): owner replies false. |
| 2026-10-05 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | Google indexing quality changed from good to partial after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-05 (own site not listed, though indexed). |
| 2026-10-05 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | Google indexing quality changed from partial to good after a Google search for the clinic's name and city on 2026-10-05 (own site at position 1). |
| 2026-10-05 | MOAI Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-05 in 6 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2023-08-16 to 2026-08-05; 5.0 from 91): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-05 | Odontoclinic Vila Mariana | Re-checked on 2026-10-05 at the clinic's request, limited to the three points it raised. English pages: the site now has an English section of twelve pages, recorded; the three English-language visibility queries the clinic named were run again as web searches and it was not among the results, so those three criteria are unchanged. Google reviews: 4.9 from 1,001 reviews; both 1-star reviews recorded earlier are still published; two reviews on one subject among the five lowest-rated, with 1-2 star reviews at 9 of 1,001, do not make a recurring complaint under the directory's rule, and the criterion was corrected. Other review platforms: the Doctoralia profile of Dr. Hugo Robertson at the clinic's address, with 11 patient opinions, recorded. Nothing else on the card was re-read. |
| 2026-10-02 | BCX Odontologia | Presence re-checked on 2026-10-02: its own Facebook page, active within the last two years. |
| 2026-10-02 | BCX Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2025-08-27 to 2026-09-14; 5.0 from 377): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Benatti Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 4 review orders (15 distinct reviews, dated 2016-08-22 to 2026-08-27; 4.9 from 424): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2020-09-03 to 2026-09-10; 4.8 from 451): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Clínica Simonetti | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2017-07-25 to 2026-09-30; 4.9 from 197): recurring complaints false. |
| 2026-10-02 | Consultório Odontológico Dra. Michelle C. Rodrigues | Presence re-checked on 2026-10-02: its dentist's Doctoralia profile at the practice's address. |
| 2026-10-02 | Dentar Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2023-06-20 to 2026-09-28; 5.0 from 685): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-02 | ImplArt Odontologia | Read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-10-02 in 2 review orders (10 distinct reviews, dated 2021-02-05 to 2026-09-11; 4.7 from 288): suspicious review patterns false. |
| 2026-10-01 | Clínica da Villa | Other review platforms re-checked on 2026-10-01: the clinic has a Dentistas.net.br page with a rating at its address, so presence on other review platforms is now marked yes. |
| 2026-09-30 | Clínica Simonetti | No Facebook link on the clinic's site or its Google listing. Opened the clinic's own page directly and confirmed it belongs to the clinic: matching domain and address, active posting. Recorded presence on Facebook. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica da Villa | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (treatments index and treatment pages, about, contact) and its Google listing. Recorded: real photos of the building and waiting room; X-ray and tomography documented for surgical and implant planning; structured business data on the homepage; no emergency wording; no online booking form beyond WhatsApp; not listed on TripAdvisor, Doctoralia or WhatClinic; owner replies to recent reviews; no recurring complaint theme among the few negative reviews. Corrected: opening hours close at 18:30 on weekdays with no weekend hours on both the Google listing and the website, so the convenient-hours criterion is not met. Still unverified: English-speaking staff, work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-25 | Clínica Simonetti | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (service pages including general dentistry, oral rehabilitation, oral surgery and pediatric care, plus the blog) and its Google listing. Recorded: on-site diagnostic imaging including CT scans; a dedicated pediatric and prenatal care page; no emergency wording; no online booking form beyond WhatsApp; structured business data on the homepage; not listed on TripAdvisor, Doctoralia or WhatClinic; owner replies to recent reviews; the newest review is from 2026-09-01 and no low rating has been posted since 2018; Monday and Wednesday hours until 19:00 on the Google listing (18:30 on the website). Still unverified: Facebook presence, English-speaking staff, work with international patients. |
| 2026-09-25 | Dentar Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (a single content page covering services and team) and its Google listing. Recorded: no emergency wording in the service list; pediatric dentistry listed as a category on the clinic's Google Business Profile; no online booking form beyond WhatsApp; no structured business data on the page; Saturday opening hours; not listed on TripAdvisor, Doctoralia or WhatClinic; no recurring complaint pattern; owner replies found on reviews from 2023 and 2025. Corrected: the website's team section names the clinic's dentists, so the no-dentists-identified flag was removed. Still unverified: English-speaking staff, work with international patients, on-site X-ray or CBCT (the site does not describe equipment). |
| 2026-09-25 | MOAI Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (technology, treatment and blog pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: real photos of the reception area; digital X-ray documented on a dedicated technology page, which does not mention CBCT; structured business data on the site; a linked Facebook page; no emergency wording; no online booking form beyond a general contact form; not listed on TripAdvisor, Doctoralia or WhatClinic; owner replies to most recent reviews; no recurring complaint pattern. Updated: the newest review is from 2026-08-05 (previously recorded as within the past year). Still unverified: English-speaking staff, work with international patients, whether the all-five-star review pattern reflects normal variation. |
| 2026-09-25 | Odontoclinic Vila Mariana | Added to the directory on 2026-09-25 after reading the clinic's website (every page in its sitemap and menu, Portuguese and English), its Google listing, TripAdvisor and Doctoralia, the GCR ranking it cites and the national register of health establishments (CNES). Still unverified: Facebook, Instagram, other review platforms and the CRO-SP register entries. |
| 2026-09-25 | Valnella Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-25: the clinic's website (services index and service pages, about page, blog) and its Google listing. Corrected: the website names its responsible dentist, Dr. Felipe Gasques, with his CROSP license number. Recorded: a real photo of a dentist in the practice's own office; structured business data on the homepage; a linked Facebook page; no emergency wording; opening hours that do not meet the convenient-hours bar; not listed on TripAdvisor, Doctoralia or WhatClinic; owner replies to critical reviews; independent reviews about last-minute rescheduling. A blog article's general cost-guide figures for teeth whitening were not counted as the clinic's own published price. Still unverified: English-speaking staff, work with international patients, on-site CBCT, pediatric care. |
| 2026-09-23 | BCX Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (31 pages and 433 blog posts in Portuguese and English), its Google listing, its Doctoralia and Best Clinic Abroad profiles and the CNES register of health establishments. Recorded: Google 5.0 from 377 reviews, with owner replies to every readable review (latest 2026-04-22) and no repeated complaint; six dentists named with CRO-SP numbers; digital X-rays and cone-beam CT in use; emergency dental service listed on its Google profile; open until 20:00 on weekdays and on Saturdays; LocalBusiness structured data; no price for cleaning, fillings, a single crown, a consultation or imaging; no clinic-level registration found in CNES. Corrected: prices — the clinic's blog publishes its own US-dollar ranges for single implants (1,200–1,800), porcelain veneers, smile makeovers and full-mouth restorations; sedation — besides conscious sedation the clinic offers intravenous sedation with an anaesthetist and sedation to sleep through treatment. Still unverified: the review-pattern check, Facebook and TripAdvisor presence, children's dentistry. |
| 2026-09-23 | BCX Odontologia | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical São Paulo queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 2 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | BCX Odontologia | Five dentists recorded with the CRO-SP numbers the clinic publishes on its treatment pages: Rafaela Campos, Leticia Hashizume, Milena Giatti, Lucas Maia and Marcelo Shirouzu. |
| 2026-09-23 | Benatti Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (all 158 pages, Portuguese and the English page), its Google listing, its Doctoralia profile and the CNES register of health establishments. Recorded: Google 4.9 from 425 reviews, newest dated 2026-04-07, with no repeated complaint (12 one- or two-star reviews of 425); no emergency or same-day care stated; no Dentist or LocalBusiness structured data; initial consultation booked through WhatsApp; contact e-mail. Corrected: the register reading — CNES does hold the practice's record at Av. Paulista 925 (CNES 7208413), deactivated in March 2020, and no active record; other-platform presence now rests on the Doctoralia profile (one patient opinion, 2020); opening hours follow the Google profile (weekdays to 19:00; the site footer says 18:00). Still unverified: owner replies to reviews and the review-pattern check, X-ray and cone-beam CT equipment, children's dentistry, TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-23 | Benatti Odontologia | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical São Paulo queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 3 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (all 151 pages, Portuguese only), its Google listing and its Doctoralia profile. Recorded: Google 4.8 from 453 reviews, newest 2026-08-13, with owner replies on the readable reviews; no recurring complaint (20 of 453 ratings are 1-2★); digital X-ray equipment; extractions and implant surgery; care for urgent cases and dental trauma; a callback form and WhatsApp booking; Dentist markup with address and phone; the clinic's email atendimento@nippodents.com.br. Corrected: genuine clinic photos are shown (the clinic's own photos of its reception, a treatment room and the waiting area on its Google listing). Still unverified: cone-beam CT (an article mentions 3D CT planning, the equipment list names none), review manipulation (19 of 453 ratings are 1★ and the low reviews were not readable), English-speaking staff, work with international patients and TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-23 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical São Paulo queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Consultório Odontológico Dra. Michelle C. Rodrigues | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the practice's website (all 93 pages, Portuguese only), its Google listing, directory listings and the national register of health establishments (CNES). Recorded: Google 5.0 from 216 reviews, newest 2026-08-19, with owner replies on every readable review; no recurring complaint and no sign of review manipulation among the readable reviews; the practice's own photos of its treatment room and reception on its Google listing; a first assessment visit bookable by WhatsApp. Not offered or not shown: prices, a current clinic-level registration (CNES lists the practice as record 3832120, deactivated since March 2020 because it was not updated), emergency appointments, cone-beam CT, structured business markup. Still unverified: X-ray equipment on site, English-speaking staff, work with international patients, TripAdvisor and other review platforms. |

Rodrigues | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical São Paulo queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 0 of the five. |
| 2026-09-23 | Family Dentistry | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website in Portuguese, English and Spanish (home, team, check-up, payment, visiting-patient, testimonial and treatment pages), its Google listing and the national register of health establishments (CNES). Recorded: dental X-rays on site; emergency consultations; video pre-consultation before a visit; owner replies to Google reviews (latest 2026-09-20); no recurring complaints and no signs of review manipulation (18 reviews, all 5 stars); Dentist and LocalBusiness structured data. Confirmed: no prices are published (the payment page says prices are not advertised online); Google 5.0 from 18 reviews, newest 2026-08-23; six specialists named on the team page besides Dr. Patricia C. de Luna. Corrected: the earlier licence note said CNES held no record at this address; it does list this office as CNES 7182244 under the dentist's own name, deactivated since March 2020, so no current clinic-level registration is confirmed; presence on other review platforms is no longer recorded - the testimonials page cited for it no longer names Yelp, and neither Yelp nor Doctoralia lists the clinic. Still unverified: TripAdvisor, cone-beam CT, and licence numbers for the six specialists. |

Valim (orthodontics), Tadashi Carlos Orii (prosthodontics and implants), Diego Gil (endodontics, TMD and orofacial pain), Hellen Tavares (orofacial harmonization) and Liliani de Abreu (endodontics); the clinic publishes no registration numbers for them. |
| 2026-09-23 | Flori Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (all 121 pages in the sitemap plus the team, facilities, treatments and contact pages, Portuguese and English), its Google listing, its Trustindex and Doctoralia pages and the national register of health establishments (CNES). Recorded: Google 4.9 from 46 reviews, newest 2026-06-24, owner replies to reviews, no pattern of complaints or signs of manipulation; digital X-ray and CBCT-based implant assessment; laser frenectomy for babies and children; open to 19:00 on weekdays and on Saturday mornings; online appointment requests; Dentist structured data; clinic registered in CNES as Flori Clínica Odontológica Ltda. Confirmed: eight dentists named with their CRO-SP numbers; no price list — treatment pages give São Paulo market averages and the paid first consultation has no stated amount. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence. |
| 2026-09-23 | Flori Odontologia | Visibility re-checked on 2026-09-23 with the five canonical São Paulo queries, run once for every card compared in this pass; local results, the first page of web results and AI Overviews all counted. The clinic appears in 4 of the five. |

| 2026-09-23 | ImplArt Odontologia | Re-read on 2026-09-23: the clinic's website (all pages in the sitemap, Portuguese and English) and its Google listing in English and Portuguese.

Confirmed: no price list — the first consultation is charged and its amount is not stated.

| 2026-09-10 | BCX Odontologia | Twin parity 2026-09-10 (clinicLicense): this card left the clinic licence unverified because CNES — the open national establishment register — was returning HTTP 503 host-wide on its verification day and CRO-SP is captcha-gated, so no open registry search could be completed here. The twin card brazil-dental completed exactly that CNES search on 2026-08-25 (two name variants plus a São Paulo/Rio state filter, with the nearest namesake named in the reading as proof the register was answering) and found no establishment for this clinic, while the clinic's own site publishes no clinic-level number. That is a read registry negative, not an absence of a reading, so it is copied here with its source; this card's own record of the outage and of its CRO-SP search is kept in the note. |

| 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. |
| 2026-08-26 | BCX Odontologia | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: confirmed both Dra. Beatriz Kawamoto (CRO-SP 133746) and Dra. Priscila Uehara (CRO-SP 105986, registered as Priscila Nakasone Uehara) are active. No clinic-level entity found under "BCX"; CNES unreachable so clinic status stays null. |
| 2026-08-26 | Benatti Odontologia | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: found and confirmed active CRO-SP numbers for Dr. Pedro Augusto Benatti (90260, new) and Dr. Luiz Octavio Benatti Jr. (87677 active; a duplicate registration 87678 under the same name is deactivated as REGISTRO INDEVIDO). Dr. Luiz Octavio Benatti (no suffix) not found under 2 name variants ("LUIZ OCTAVIO BENATTI", "LUIZ BENATTI") -> null, not false. No clinic-level entity found for the clinic name; CNES unreachable so clinic status stays null. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica da Villa | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: confirmed active CRO-SP registrations for 8 of 9 named dentists, matching or clarifying the numbers already on file (Catharina Cordazzo's surname is actually spelled with double Z). Dr. Fernando Goulart could not be disambiguated: CRO-SP has both an active FERNANDO GOULART TORMIN JUNIOR (30121) and a deactivated LUIS FERNANDO GOULART CARDOSO (84377) matching the partial name, so left null rather than guessed. Clinic-level license (CRO 16665) already on file - not re-checked. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Odontológica Nippodents | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: all 7 named dentists confirmed active (ATIVO) with CRO-SP numbers matching those already on file. Clinic-level license (CRO-SP 18698) already on file - not re-checked. |
| 2026-08-26 | Clínica Simonetti | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: confirmed both Dr. Leandro Simonetti (CRO-SP 99905) and Dr. Rodrigo Simonetti (CRO-SP 86676) are active. Clinic-level license (CRO-CL 7874) already on file - not re-checked. |
| 2026-08-26 | Consultório Odontológico Dra. Michelle C. Rodrigues | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: confirmed Dra. Michelle C. Rodrigues (registered as Michelle Cano Rodrigues) CRO-SP 70859 is active (ATIVO). No separate clinic-level entity found (solo practice); CNES unreachable so clinic status stays null. |
| 2026-08-26 | Dentar Odontologia | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos: found and confirmed active CRO-SP registrations for 4 of 7 named dentists (Lucas Teijeira Credie 154739, Joao Paulo Prata Martins Zonta 118980, Marcella de Carvalho Silva Mello 146916, Thais de Oliveira Coqueiro 130495) - none previously on file. Dr. Thiago Lelis and Dra. Taline Lelis returned no CRO-SP match. Dra. Beatriz Oliveira is too common a name (100 results, no matching middle/surname on file) to disambiguate -> null. No clinic-level entity found for "Dentar"; CNES unreachable so clinic status stays null. |
| 2026-08-26 | Family Dentistry | License verification 2026-08-26 against CRO-SP Consulta de Inscritos (Conselho Regional de Odontologia de São Paulo): confirmed Dra. Patricia C. de Luna's CRO-SP 60715 is active (ATIVO). No clinic-level CROSP-CL registration found for the clinic trade name; CNES was unreachable so clinic status stays null rather than false. |

| 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. |

Note: the Google Maps listing at this address currently surfaces website drfelipegasques.com and phone +55 11 5084-6395, which differ from the clinic's own site/phone (valnellaodontologia.com.br, +55 11 2638-4113) that we independently fetched and confirmed live today — flagging for review, not applied as a correction. |
| 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. |
