Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-07 | priceTransparency re-evaluated 2026-09-07 (wave-4 Y16): clinic now publishes a full itemised price list (previously false). pricesPublished, cleaningPriceListed, fillingPriceListed, crownPriceListed, implantPriceListed and consultationPriceListed (free, stated explicitly) now true; xrayPriceListed stays false — X-rays are only ever described as bundled into treatment prices, never priced on their own. See smile-dental-turkey-prices-2026-09-07 and smile-dental-turkey-packages-2026-09-07. |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag removed under methodology v1.4.0 (no citable evidence found on re-verification: smiledentalturkey.com/dental-treatment-prices-in-turkey/, fetched 2026-09-07, publishes a full itemised price table in GBP/EUR/USD — 'Implants From £392, Crowns & Veneers From £167' — plus per-patient case studies with itemised cost breakdowns, so the 'Save 80% without figures' premise no longer holds). |
| 2026-09-07 | opaque_prices flag reviewed under methodology v1.4.0 and kept: the note hints at opacity but cites nothing verifiable, so it is annotated for re-verification at the next crawl. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against T.C. Sağlık Bakanlığı Sağlık Turizmi Yetkili Diğer Sağlık Tesisleri list, Özel Hastane Listesi and the clinic's own site: not found under any searched name variant despite the clinic itself claiming an 'official Health Tourism Certificate' — recorded as verified-false; all 8 named doctors could not be checked — no accessible individual-dentist registry. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live, name/address unchanged, clinic not closed; newly captured Google rating 4.8 (102 reviews, both previously unset) plus Maps place URL and pin coordinates. |
