| 2026-10-02 | Read the clinic website (homepage, sitemap and service pages): no structured data found; separate service pages found. |
| 2026-10-02 | Google indexing quality changed from partial to good after a name-and-city web search on 2026-10-02 (own site first listed at position 3 of 10). |
| 2026-09-30 | Searched Facebook for the clinic by its name with the city and by its name alone; none of the searches found a page of the clinic, and its website links none. Recorded absence from Facebook. |
| 2026-09-24 | Search visibility checked on 2026-09-24 for the five pending Cape Town queries — "best dentist Cape Town", "English speaking dentist Cape Town", "dental implants Cape Town", "emergency dentist Cape Town" and "Cape Town dental clinic for expats": not present for "best dentist Cape Town", "English speaking dentist Cape Town", "dental implants Cape Town", "emergency dentist Cape Town" and "Cape Town dental clinic for expats". |
| 2026-09-24 | Re-read on 2026-09-24: the clinic's Google listing (newest and lowest review sorts, photos) and the opening hours on its home page; the rest of the website did not load on 2026-09-24. Recorded: genuine photos of the signed building and reception on the listing; the Google listing is unclaimed, so owner replies are not possible; recurring complaints about being charged for services not provided or needed, across 2019 and 2025 reviews; no signs of manipulated reviews; opening hours limited to weekdays. Still unverified: most website-dependent criteria, pending the site loading again. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against HPCSA iRegister: found active registration for the only 'Everson' on the dentist register (Aubrey Alfred Everson, DP 0057118, Cape Town 7708 - matches the practice's Claremont postal code), taken as the match for the clinic site's 'Dr Everson'. |
| 2026-08-25 | Recorded sedation / general anaesthesia availability (informational): documented as available. IV Sedation described: 'many patients do sleep through their dental appointment', 'Few patients have any memory of their treatment' (twilight-type). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed website live and open status; resolved the previously vague 'Upper Claremont' address to 43 Protea Rd, Claremont, 7708 and captured the previously-missing phone number +27 21 683 1863, both via Google Maps. Captured first Google rating 3.7 (28 reviews). Sedation research: site's IV Sedation page states 'many patients do sleep through their dental appointment' and 'few patients have any memory of their treatment'. |
