| 2026-10-16 | Uburyo v1.4.2 | Clarified when dentist names count: a name published by the clinic counts when it lets a patient find the dentist in a professional register; a first name alone is not enough, nor is a first name with a patronymic where surnames are in use. Applied the same day to the clinics whose own channels name their dentists by first name only, which lose the points for dentist names. No other score changes. |
| 2026-10-07 | Uburyo 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. |

| 2026-10-02 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Platform presence checked 2026-10-02: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, RwandaYP. |
| 2026-10-01 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: the Instagram account cited before is not a review platform, and WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in Rwanda, so this is now marked unknown. |
| 2026-10-01 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Presence on other review platforms re-read: WhatClinic, Dental Departures and Bookimed list no clinic in Rwanda and have no profile for this clinic, so this criterion is now no. |
| 2026-10-01 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Read the clinic's Instagram on 2026-10-01 (profile and every post of the past 12 months): it gives a WhatsApp number and daily hours of 7 AM to 9 PM and is written in English, so WhatsApp and English are now recorded; it names no dentist and publishes no prices. |
| 2026-09-30 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Re-checked on 2026-09-30: found the clinic's Facebook page (URBAN Dental Clinic Kigali, same telephone and building as its Google listing) and read its intro, details and contact sections together with the Google listing. Recorded: the page address, a WhatsApp contact and English among the languages the clinic lists; no dentist named and no treatment list published. Still unverified: prices, since the page's posts and photos could not be read in full. |
| 2026-09-30 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Re-read the clinic's Google listing on 2026-09-30: rating 4.7 from 20 reviews (previously 17), newest review dated 2026-09-28. Corrected: the absence of review manipulation is now unrated, since four of the five newest reviews arrived within four days, three of them on the same day; responding to reviews stays unverified, since the newest owner reply read dates from June 2025. The one critical review still stands alone, so no complaint repeats. |
| 2026-09-29 | Gentle Dental Clinic (Kigali) | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established; review recency within a year (newest review dated 2026-06-17). |
| 2026-09-29 | GreenDent Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 9 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: with 8 Google reviews a missing owner reply shows nothing yet. |
| 2026-09-29 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: no recurring complaints now unverified: 1–2★ ratings are 2 of 11 and the low reviews themselves were not read; review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-08-21). |
| 2026-09-29 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this. |
| 2026-09-29 | Royal Specialized Dental Clinic | Added to the directory on 2026-09-29: initial data collection from the clinic's own website (home, about, team, contact, blog and six service pages) and its Google Business Profile (rating, review histogram, structured hours, owner replies, and its own uploaded photos of the premises and an in-clinic service-list poster). Rwanda's dental register was checked for all four named dentists, the country's facility-licensing platform was checked for the clinic itself, and TripAdvisor's own search returned no listing. Not yet verified: a Facebook presence. |
| 2026-09-29 | Royal Specialized Dental Clinic | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-29 for the five standard Kigali queries: present for "best dentist Kigali Rwanda", "dental implants Kigali" and "emergency dentist Kigali"; not present for "English speaking dentist Kigali" and "Kigali dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-29 | SMILE AVENUE Dental Clinic | Corrected 2026-09-29: active Facebook presence now unverified: no Facebook search is on record, so the absence of a page is not established. |
| 2026-09-29 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Corrected 2026-09-29: clinic responds to reviews now unverified: only 5 reviews were checked for owner replies; dentist names listed, dentist specializations listed, service list published, published prices and the cleaning, filling, crown, implant, consultation and X-ray prices now unverified: the clinic has no website and its social page was not checked for this; Google rating 4.7 (was 4.6) and review count 17 (was 12) from the Google listing on 2026-09-26. |
| 2026-09-24 | Gentle Dental Clinic (Kigali) | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing, including its photo strip, and a TripAdvisor name search. Recorded: genuine photographs of the treatment room and a dentist with a patient, uploaded through the business's own Google tools; no TripAdvisor listing found. |
| 2026-09-24 | Kigali Adventist Dental Clinic (Town) | Re-read on 2026-09-24 and 2026-09-25: the clinic's own site in full (home, services, about, contact, story pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: genuine photos of the premises and team on the About page; no price is published for any treatment; periapical X-ray imaging only, no cone-beam imaging; same-day emergency care and WhatsApp/Line contact are not documented; no online booking form; no TripAdvisor listing found. Google 5.0 from 14 reviews. |
| 2026-09-24 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24 and 2026-09-25: the clinic's homepage, services page and all six of its service pages, plus its Google listing. Recorded: no price for any treatment; surgery listed among the services; Facebook page linked from the site; no WhatsApp/Line contact found; no TripAdvisor listing found. Google 3.1 from 17 reviews. |
| 2026-09-24 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's own site in full (48 pages) and its Google listing. Recorded: no price for any treatment; emergency appointments documented; Facebook page linked from the site; digital X-ray only, no cone-beam imaging; no WhatsApp/Line contact; no TripAdvisor listing found. |
| 2026-09-24 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing (still no reviews, no price information) and a TripAdvisor name search. Recorded: no prices published anywhere, since the clinic has no website and its Google listing shows none; no TripAdvisor listing found. Still unverified: the clinic's Instagram page. |
| 2026-09-24 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Re-read on 2026-09-24 and 2026-09-25: the clinic's Google listing sorted by newest review, and a TripAdvisor name search. Recorded: Google 4.6 from 12 reviews, newest 2026-08-28; no price for any treatment, since the clinic has no website and its listing shows none; no TripAdvisor listing found. |
| 2026-09-24 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for the five standard Kigali, Rwanda queries (general dentist recommendations, English-speaking dentist, dental implants, emergency dentist, dental clinic for expats): the clinic did not appear in the top results of any of them. |
| 2026-09-11 | DMC Dental | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google review panel and of its own services page (2026-09-11). Eight of the twenty-eight reviews were read and four carry owner replies. The services page was opened for the real-photo check: it publishes its own before-and-after case photographs, and the same page names digital and panoramic radiography, which had not been recorded. |
| 2026-09-11 | DMC Dental | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Gentle Dental Clinic (Kigali) | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing and review panel (2026-09-11). Its own Google Business profile publishes Saturday hours, which settles the opening-hours criterion left unknown before. Eight reviews were read and all carry owner replies. A Facebook page search returned no Rwandan page, so the clinic’s Google listing is confirmed as its only own channel. |
| 2026-09-11 | GreenDent Dental Clinic | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing, its review panel and its own About page (2026-09-11). Eight of the nine reviews were read and not one carries an owner reply, which settles the reply question left open before. The About page’s facility photographs were checked and are of the clinic’s own treatment rooms; they show no cone-beam CT unit, so the single reviewer’s mention of one remains unconfirmed. |
| 2026-09-11 | GreenDent Dental Clinic | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing, its review panel and its home page (2026-09-11). All eight reviews were read: none carries an owner reply, which settles the reply question left open before, and nothing in the base sits below four stars. The home-page team photograph was checked for the real-photo criterion. |
| 2026-09-11 | Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Kigali Adventist Dental Clinic (Town) | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing and review panel (2026-09-11). Eight of the thirteen reviews were read and not one carries an owner reply, which settles as a negative the reply claim the previous pass had refuted but left unset. The listing’s own published hours were compared with the site’s and disagree about Friday afternoon while agreeing that the clinic does not open at weekends. |
| 2026-09-11 | Kigali Adventist Dental Clinic (Town) | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Browser reading of the clinic’s own home page (2026-09-11) for the real-photo criterion: the page opens on a photograph of the clinic’s own reception. |
| 2026-09-11 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Editorial review of the review record, against the live listing on 2026-09-11. The three reviews about undisclosed costs now carry their exact dates and run from 2024-09-09 to 2026-02-10, and a recurring-communication-complaints flag is recorded on that pattern at medium severity. The opening-hours note now discloses that the clinic's Google Business profile publishes a different week from its own site, one containing a Friday entry that cannot describe opening hours; the criterion continues to rest on the week the clinic maintains on its booking site. |
| 2026-09-11 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google review panel and of its own gallery page (2026-09-11). Eight of the eleven reviews were read: all eight carry owner replies, which settles the reply question the previous pass could not resolve, and the newest of them is six months old. The gallery page, which serves its images as CSS backgrounds and so is invisible to a plain fetch, was added as a source for the real-photo check. |
| 2026-09-11 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Editorial review of the licence column: each registration now shows the registration number the Rwanda Medical and Dental Council register carries for the practitioner, and the description of the register itself - its edition, its size and the name spelling it uses - moved out of the identifier field, where it was printed in full on this page. The register, its edition and the reading remain cited as the source of the number. |
| 2026-09-11 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Browser reading of the clinic’s Google listing and of the Instagram account indexed under its name (2026-09-11). The account was confirmed to be this clinic’s own — its profile names Huye and one of its posts publishes the clinic’s telephone number — and its nine posts were read: they carry no photograph of the practice, only stock and computer-generated marketing imagery. The Google listing was confirmed to hold no reviews at all, and its own Google Business profile publishes round-the-clock opening. |
| 2026-09-11 | SMILE AVENUE Dental Clinic | Browser reading of the clinic’s own site and of the Facebook address it publishes (2026-09-11). That address opens a different practice of the same name in Hyderabad, India, so the Facebook presence recorded from the clinic’s own structured data was withdrawn and the address removed from its contacts; a page search found no Rwandan page for the clinic. The About page’s photograph of the waiting area was checked for the real-photo criterion. The rendered pages were also compared with the content previously read out of the site’s JavaScript bundle and carry the same nine service groups, the same single named dentist and no prices. |
| 2026-09-11 | URBAN Dental Clinic, Kigali | Added to the Rwanda Dental Transparency & Trust Index. The clinic was carded after it was confirmed on two independent channels: its own Google place record, read twice and carrying photographs the business uploaded itself and replies written by the owner, and a Facebook page under the clinic's name in Kigali whose published address is the same building the listing names. Its published record — 4.5 from eleven reviews, a weekly grid open to 20:00 and a full Saturday, and its own photographs of reception and of a treatment in progress — was read at the same time. |
| 2026-09-10 | DMC Dental | Initial data collection: all five pages of the clinic site read; live Google place listing read for rating, review count and pin; two of three named dental surgeons found in the RMDC register snapshot; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Review dates, owner replies and complaint reading could not be obtained — the place-detail record Google returned for this listing carries no review block;. |
| 2026-09-10 | DMC Dental | Adversarial verification. The place-detail record carried a review block on re-reading, which it had not before: reviewRecency (within_year), respondsToReviews (true), recurringComplaints (false) and suspiciousReviewPatterns (false) are now read from the live place page. Services page re-read and the general-anaesthesia sedation line confirmed verbatim; the homepage meta description that carries implants confirmed. RMDC register re-extracted independently: both licence numbers reproduce, and neither IRATSINZE nor a dental KIZITO appears in the edition. |
| 2026-09-10 | Gentle Dental Clinic (Kigali) | Initial data collection: live Google place page read for name, address, phone, rating, review count, review dates and text, owner replies and pin; MMI accredited-dental-clinic panel checked; an own-name search run to establish that the clinic operates no website; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. |
| 2026-09-10 | Gentle Dental Clinic (Kigali) | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live with its review block: 4.6 from 39 reviews, newest 2 months, and five individually written owner replies naming the reviewers — respondsToReviews, reviewRecency and both complaint fields all reproduce. Four of the five reviews shown describe months-long brace treatment, which is what offersOrthodontics rests on. Sweep 2: the search: pseudo-source was removed from hasWebsite, which the Google Business profile carries on its own. |
| 2026-09-10 | GreenDent Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: homepage, about and services pages read in full; live Google place listing read for rating, review count and pin; U.S. Embassy dentist list checked; founder matched to the RMDC register snapshot through his own professional profile's fuller name form; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Review dates, owner replies and complaint reading could not be obtained — the place-detail record Google returned for this listing carries no review block;. |
| 2026-09-10 | GreenDent Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification. The place-detail record carried a review block on re-reading, which it had not before: reviewRecency (within_3_months), recurringComplaints (false) and suspiciousReviewPatterns (false) are now read from the live place page. respondsToReviews stays unset — no owner reply appears among the five reviews shown. One reviewer describes a cone-beam CT scanner at the clinic; the clinic itself publishes no such thing, so hasCBCT stays unset and goes to the manual browser check. Sweep 2: the search: pseudo-source was removed from the founder's licence citation. Services recounted off the live page: 26 named procedures, not 25. The U.S. Embassy entry for GreenDent carries no languages line, so it no longer backs englishSpoken. |
| 2026-09-10 | Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali | Initial data collection: homepage, team page, service index and contact page read; live Google place page read for rating, review count, review dates and pin; MMI accredited-dental-clinic panel checked; two of four named dental surgeons found in the RMDC register snapshot; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Owner replies could not be settled from the place-page record —. |
| 2026-09-10 | Jubilee Dental Clinic Kigali | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live with its review block this time: rating 4.8, 8 reviews, newest 2 months, and the three reviews shown are exactly the ones the card describes — no owner reply among them, so respondsToReviews stays unset and goes to the manual browser check. Team page, service index and hours re-read on the clinic's own site. RMDC register re-extracted independently: both licence numbers reproduce, KABAGAMBE is absent from the edition entirely and the four NGOGA rows carry no dental qualification. |
| 2026-09-10 | Kigali Adventist Dental Clinic (Town) | Initial data collection: clinic site read in full, live Google place page read for rating/review count/recency/owner replies/pin, U.S. Embassy and FCDO medical lists checked, both named dental surgeons found in the RMDC register snapshot, five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. |
| 2026-09-10 | Kigali Adventist Dental Clinic (Town) | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live: rating 5.0 and pin reproduce exactly. Refuted: respondsToReviews (no owner reply in the seven reviews the record renders) and the recurringComplaints note (it quoted a review from the Kacyiru listing). Removed the FCDO source and the FCDO claim in aiMention_expats — that entry is the Kacyiru branch. Dropped the unsourced "Bolivian-trained" from the summary. RMDC register re-downloaded and re-extracted independently, byte-for-byte identical to the copy the research pass used; both licence numbers reproduce, and the two "registered there as" strings were reordered to the register's own First/Last columns. |
| 2026-09-10 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: the clinic site, its service sitemap and two service pages read; live Google place page read for rating, review count, review dates and text, owner replies and pin; MMI accredited-dental-clinic panel checked; the clinic's namesake dental surgeon found in the RMDC register snapshot; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. |
| 2026-09-10 | Pineda Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live: 2.9 from 18 reviews, newest 6 months, and every quoted complaint reproduces word for word on the page, including the 8:45 start, the single invoice covering two alternative procedures, "the charges were not clearly explained… I felt pressured to agree to costly treatments" and "you took all my money without delivering what we had agreed upon" — recurringComplaints stands. The owner reply directing a one-star reviewer to admin@pinedadentalclinic.com also reproduces. convenientHours filled from the hours the clinic publishes on its own homepage. Sweep 2: the search: pseudo-source was removed from the doctor's citation. |
| 2026-09-10 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: homepage, About, services, contact and appointment pages read; live Google place listing read for rating, review count and pin; four of six named dentists found in the RMDC register snapshot; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Review dates, owner replies and complaint reading could not be obtained — the place-detail record Google returned for this listing carries no review block;. |
| 2026-09-10 | Rehoboth Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification. Google place listing re-read live twice: rating 4.2 and pin reproduce exactly, but the place-detail record carries no review block on either read, so reviewRecency, respondsToReviews and the two complaint fields stay unset and go to the manual browser check. RMDC register re-extracted independently: all four licence numbers reproduce, and AGHOLOR and AMALIMEH are absent from the edition entirely. |
| 2026-09-10 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: live Google place listing read for name, category, town, phone, pin and the absence of any rating or review; an own-name search run to establish that the clinic operates no website and to locate its Instagram account. The Instagram account is behind a login wall and was not read —. A Facebook page under the same brand name was checked and rejected: it belongs to RevitaSmile Dental Clinic in Angeles City, the Philippines, not to this clinic. |
| 2026-09-10 | Revita Smile Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification. Google place listing re-read live: still no rating, no review counter and no website link, and the pin reproduces exactly. The Instagram account was fetched and returns HTTP 200 carrying Instagram's generic error shell; a control fetch of a known-good profile returns the identical shell, so this is a bot wall and not evidence either way — the account is queued for a manual browser check and now backs googleIndexingQuality rather than sitting unreferenced. Sweep 2: the search: pseudo-source was removed from hasWebsite. |
| 2026-09-10 | SMILE AVENUE Dental Clinic | Initial data collection: the site is a browser-rendered SPA, so its own JavaScript bundle was read for the about, services and contact content; live Google place page read for rating, review count, review dates and text, owner replies and pin; the founder was searched for in the RMDC register snapshot and is not in that edition; five canonical visibility queries taken from the AI-visibility file. Real-photo check on the rendered pages. |
| 2026-09-10 | SMILE AVENUE Dental Clinic | Adversarial verification. Google place page re-read live: 4.9 from 31 reviews, newest 1 month, owner replies on all five reviews shown — all reproduce. The site's hard-coded aggregateRating of 4.8/127 was re-read in the served structured data and remains unusable, as the card already says. onFacebook filled from the clinic's own sameAs block. RMDC register re-extracted independently: the edition carries eleven INGABIRE rows, only one of them dental and under a different first name. |
| 2026-09-07 | Uburyo 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 | Uburyo 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 | Uburyo 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. |
| 2026-08-23 | Uburyo 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 | Uburyo 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. |
| 2026-07-03 | Uburyo v1.0.0 | Initial public methodology. |
