These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence
The domain belongs to an actual, operating dental practice at 70-102 Hampton Circle, Saskatoon, with a 952-day registration history, valid SSL, and clean antivirus scans. Business registration confirms active status, BBB A+ rating, and insurance provider listings. Patient reviews on independent aggregators average 4.4/5 stars with praise for staff friendliness and care quality. However, our research uncovered a significant compliance issue: in 2023, the clinic's owner Wes Antosh was investigated by the Saskatchewan privacy commissioner (reports 014-2023 and 015-2023) for breaching patients' personal health information to pressure removal of negative Google reviews. This is not a scam in the traditional sense—the clinic delivers real dental services—but the privacy violation demonstrates a willingness to mishandle sensitive patient data for reputation management. Negative patient reviews also cite concerns about unnecessary treatments and high costs relative to competitors.
Full dossier
Analysis complete

Page Content

The website displays standard dental-clinic content: service listings (implants, cleanings, cosmetic dentistry), appointment booking, contact phone (306-979-2022), and address (102 Hampton Cir #70, Saskatoon, SK S7R 0L5). Meta tags and body text target local search terms ('dentist in Saskatoon'). No login forms, countdowns, or malware signatures detected. Two social links (Facebook, Instagram) are active with community engagement posts.

Infrastructure

Domain registered 952 days ago via GoDaddy with privacy protection disabled. SSL certificate valid (Google Trust Services issuer, 83 days to expiry). Hosting IP 104.21.4.191 has zero abuse score and only 1 historical abuse report. No redirects to suspicious domains. External scripts load from legitimate CDNs (Google Fonts, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity). Clean across all antivirus engines and browser blocklists.

Domain History

The domain is not a clone or homoglyph. It matches the real clinic's name, address, and phone number across multiple platforms (Google Business, Facebook, Instagram, Birdeye, Reddit). Business registration confirms active status in Canada, operated by Wes Antosh, with physical clinic location verified.

Web Reputation

Independent review aggregators show 4.4/5 stars from 129 Google reviews. Positive feedback praises friendly staff, gentle care, and comfortable environment. Negative reviews cite unnecessary treatments, high costs (e.g., $2,200 quote for 9 fillings vs. $420 elsewhere), and one misdiagnosis charge. A 2023 CBC News investigation and Saskatchewan privacy commissioner reports (014-2023, 015-2023) document that owner Wes Antosh breached patients' personal health information to pressure removal of negative reviews—a serious compliance violation. Reddit threads mention the privacy breach as a reason to avoid clinics owned by Antosh.
