Change History
| Date | Change |
|---|---|
| 2026-09-30 | Re-read the clinic's website (team pages in English, Croatian and German, and its treatment pages) on 2026-09-30: published prices corrected to yes, as the treatment pages give starting prices for cleaning, crowns, veneers and implants; dentist specializations now rest on the clinic's own team pages (an oral surgeon and an orthodontist) and its implants page (a prosthodontist). |
| 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. |
| 2026-09-29 | Corrected 2026-09-29: review recency within 3 months (newest review dated 2026-09-24). |
| 2026-09-17 | Re-read on 2026-09-17: the clinic's website (treatment pages, contact page) and its Google listing. Recorded: cleaning, crown and implant prices published, consultation free; no filling and no imaging price; surgical implant placement documented; individual treatment pages confirmed; no structured data on the site. Owner replies to reviews. Still unverified: TripAdvisor presence; the clinic's own imaging equipment — its pages describe a 3D intraoral scan and the review of a CBCT scan without saying where that imaging is taken — and emergency care, which the clinic's Google profile lists as a category while its website does not describe it. |
| 2026-09-10 | Name-verification pass 2026-09-10: Dr. Ivica Pelivan confirmed via own-site Our Team page (dentelli.dental/our-team/). Dr. Gordana Paic Karega not found on the same full 10-name current team roster — logged as removal candidate for Opus review, data not changed. |
| 2026-08-26 | Live Google Maps browse 2026-08-26: captured genuine Google rating (4.9, 319 reviews) and compliant canonical place URL for Dentelli, replacing previously-noted non-Google aggregator estimates. |
| 2026-08-26 | Re-verified live facts (website, contacts, operating status, Google reputation): no changes. Business name and address matched on Google Maps but rating and pin coordinates could not be captured with a citable source this time. |
| 2026-08-25 | Re-verification 2026-08-25: dentelli.dental opened directly, live and current (active hours, social links); name/address/phone unchanged. Google Maps was not checked on this date; no reputation values were stored or captured. |
| 2026-08-25 | License verification 2026-08-25 against HZJZ NRPZZ (Nacionalni registar pružatelja zdravstvene zaštite): clinic license found (Dentelli D.O.O.) in HZJZ NRPZZ; Dr. Nikolina Bubalović Maretić also confirmed via her own separate registered practice in Solin; the other three named doctors were not found individually. |
| 2026-08-18 | Initial data collection. |
