Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-05 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing: it has no reviews, so recurring complaints, owner replies to reviews, suspicious review patterns stay unassessed. |
| 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 6 of 10). |
| 2026-10-01 | Checked WhatClinic, Hellopeter, Trustpilot and Dental Departures on 2026-10-01: no profile of the practice on any of them, so presence on other review platforms is recorded as absent. |
| 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 full website (44 sitemap pages, 40 read) and its Google listing. Recorded: a genuine photo of the dentist and clinical case photos; Organization/Person structured data present; no orthodontics, paediatric or emergency care in the service list; no WhatsApp contact; booking forms take a free-text message only, no service or time selection. The Google Business listing is claimed but has no reviews yet. Still unverified: CBCT equipment, whether implant surgery is performed in-house or referred, work with international patients, opening hours, TripAdvisor and other-platform presence. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against HPCSA iRegister: found active registration for Dr Rustim Moosa (DP 0054828) - the only dentist nationally with this full name. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: CAUTION - the only Google Maps listing found for this phone number (+27 21 439 7696), under the name 'Dr Rustim Moosa - Sea point Prosthodontist' at Room 303, Artem Centre, Main Rd, Sea Point, is marked 'Permanently closed' with no rating/reviews shown. The practice's own website (prosthodontist.capetown) is still live and lists the same phone number and the stored Floor 2, 74 Loop Street address, with no closure notice, but its only dated content is from 2019, suggesting the site may be stale. Could not find a current Google Maps listing for the Loop Street address to confirm active operation. Recommend manual follow-up (call the number) before treating this listing as confirmed open. Sedation research: no anaesthesia/sedation info found on the site. |
