Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | Reputation check 2026-10-02 on the clinic's Google listing (10 reviews read): owner replies to reviews no. |
| 2026-10-02 | Reviews on other platforms re-checked: no profile on WhatClinic, Dental Departures, Bookimed, Booking Dentist, Wupdoc or Trustpilot; the dental-tourism guide cited earlier only repeated the clinic's Google reviews, so this is now marked no. |
| 2026-09-29 | Checked for a TripAdvisor listing: a name-and-city search on TripAdvisor found no matching profile, and the clinic's own website carries no TripAdvisor link. Recorded: not listed on TripAdvisor. |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (its compiled page content, including an English-language toggle) and its Google listing. Recorded: 50 reviews, newest from three weeks before this check; a genuine treatment-room photo on the clinic's own site; surgical implant procedures documented; no pediatric or emergency service found; Dentist structured data present; no individual treatment prices published. Hours: the site states Monday-Saturday 09:00-19:00, while the Google listing shows a shorter weekday schedule with Saturday closed — both are recorded, with the discrepancy noted. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence, on-site X-ray/CBCT equipment, and whether the clinic responds to reviews. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verification 2026-08-26: website live (a minimal single-page site with WhatsApp booking; it does not itself state an address to cross-check), phone unchanged, not permanently closed; ADDRESS CORRECTED from stored "Rr. Studenti, Pallati Fishta 2, Shkodër" to "Rruga Gjylbegaj, Shkodër" per the clinic's Google Maps listing (name+phone confirm same clinic); captured first Google rating 4.9 (review count not visible on render). |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: confirmed bushatidental.com is live and returns the expected title 'Bushati Dental | Klinikë Dentare Shkodër - Dentist in Shkoder' (name matches). The page is heavily JS-rendered and repeated fetch attempts (home, /contact/, /en/contact) could not extract address/phone text beyond the title, so address and phone are left unchanged, not independently reconfirmed this round; no closure evidence found anywhere. Google reputation not captured; no changes recorded. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against USSH register: both named dentists, Ormir Bushati and Irta Dibra, confirmed licensed. |
| 2026-08-18 | Imported from the city-tier dataset. |
