| Fecha | Objeto | Cambio |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-25 | Century Smile Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (centurysmile.com), phone and name unchanged, clinic operating (open). Google Business profile lists suite '#701' not previously recorded, so address was refined; review count changed from stored 261 to 274, rating steady at 4.8. Note: Maps listing shows phone +1 310-742-0708, differing from the site's/worklist's +1-310-836-6161 (likely a call-tracking number); stored phone left unchanged since site matches worklist. |
| 2026-08-25 | Century Smile Dental | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): not documented in public sources. IV sedation offered but keeps patient in 'twilight sleep/awake' state (still awake, less aware); general anesthesia explicitly not available. |
| 2026-08-25 | Century Smile Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against NPPES NPI Registry: no confirmed match for any of the 3 named doctors (Moghaddam, Rafiee, Gu) - all first-name-sparse entries with either no NPPES record or multiple ambiguous same-surname candidates none located at the clinic's Culver City address; all left null. No clinic-level NPI found. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (drkezian.com), address and phone unchanged, clinic operating (open). Newly captured Google rating 5.0 (1,273 reviews, previously unset), Maps place URL, geo coordinates and review recency. |
| 2026-08-25 | Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS | License verification 2026-08-25 against NPPES NPI Registry: all 3 named Kezian dentists (Arthur, Michael, Steven) found with CA license numbers 31647, 62997 and 105168 respectively, all at or immediately adjacent to the clinic's Larchmont Blvd address. No separate clinic-level organizational NPI exists; the practice's dentists are each individually enumerated. |
| 2026-08-25 | Implant Clinic LA | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (implantclinicla.com), phone unchanged, clinic operating (open). Google Business profile lists suite detail '2nd Floor, Suite 203' not previously recorded, so address was refined; review count changed from stored 4 to 10, rating steady at 5.0. Note: Google lists the business name as 'Implant Clinic' (site/brand remains 'Implant Clinic LA'). |
| 2026-08-25 | Implant Clinic LA | License verification 2026-08-25 against NPPES NPI Registry: no clinic-level NPI found under two business-name variants. No doctors are individually named in this clinic's licensing.doctors list, so no doctor-level lookups were performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Kevin B. Sands, DDS Cosmetic Dentistry | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (beverlyhillscosmeticdentist.com), address and phone unchanged, clinic operating (open). Google rating changed from stored 4.6 to 5.0 and review count from 332 to 174 (Google appears to have recalculated/pruned reviews); recorded Maps place URL, geo coordinates, and review recency. |

Sands found with CA license 46951 and exact address match; Ashraf Ghoneim not confirmed in CA (only a same-named Arizona prosthodontist found), left null. No clinic-level NPI found. |
| 2026-08-25 | LA Dental Clinic | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (ladentalclinic.com), address and phone unchanged, clinic operating (open, not permanently closed). Google rating reconfirmed at 4.7 but review count changed from stored 690 to 519; recorded Maps place URL and geo coordinates. Site's IV-sedation page describes patients may have little to no memory of the procedure. |
| 2026-08-25 | LA Dental Clinic | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. IV sedation offered; site says patients may have little to no memory of the procedure (deeper relaxation). |
| 2026-08-25 | LA Dental Clinic | License verification 2026-08-25 against NPPES NPI Registry (federal, open): both named dentists found with matching CA license numbers and exact practice-address match (Arezoo Nasiry DMD lic. 48153; Azy/Azadeh Nasiry DMD lic. DDS100971). No separate clinic-level NPI found under the business name or owner surname; California does not license dental clinics as facilities. |
| 2026-08-25 | Metodología 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 | Mi Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (midentalla.com), address and phone unchanged, clinic operating (open). Newly captured Google rating 4.7 (77 reviews, previously unset), Maps place URL, geo coordinates and review recency. |

No doctors are individually named in this clinic's licensing.doctors list, so no doctor-level lookups were performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | PhD Dental | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (phddental.com), address and phone unchanged, clinic operating (open). Newly captured Google rating 4.8 (1,177 reviews, previously unset), Maps place URL, geo coordinates and review recency. |
| 2026-08-25 | PhD Dental | License verification 2026-08-25 against NPPES NPI Registry: no clinic-level NPI found for 'PhD Dental' (CA or nationwide search). No doctors are individually named in this clinic's licensing.doctors list, so no doctor-level lookups were performed. |
| 2026-08-25 | Prime Dental Group - East Los Angeles | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live (primedentalgroupca.com), phone and name unchanged, clinic operating (open). Newly captured Google rating 4.3 (28 reviews, previously unset), Maps place URL, geo coordinates and review recency. Google's address for this location reads 'Los Angeles, CA 90022' rather than 'East Los Angeles' (same unincorporated-area location; USPS treats it as Los Angeles), so address left unchanged. |
