Confidence
This is a real dental practice operating at a verified Edmonton address (596 Riverbend Square NW #210) for approximately 4.8 years. The domain is nearly 5 years old, SSL is valid, and our antivirus network flagged nothing malicious. The practice lists three licensed dentists — Dr. Henry Pon (practicing since 1984), Dr. William Woo, and Dr. Nick Churchill — with verifiable credentials. Patient reviews on independent medical-rating sites praise the clinic's service, and the business is registered and active in Alberta. The site loads standard dental-practice content: service menus, appointment booking, insurance information, and social-media links. No scam reports, fraud complaints, or phishing indicators appeared in our research.

Risk Factors

  • No contact email address published on the site; communication limited to phone and appointment form.

Positive Signals
5

Research summary
Narrative write-up from our AI analyst, grounded on the facts above

We searched scam-report databases, consumer-review sites, and general web sources for riverbendsquaredental.com and found no scam reports or fraud complaints. The practice is confirmed as a legitimate, active dental clinic in Edmonton with licensed practitioners, a physical address, and positive patient feedback on independent medical-rating sites. A 2021 regulatory sanction against Dr. Henry Pon for inadequate record-keeping and informed-consent procedures is a matter of public record but does not indicate fraud or malicious intent on the website itself.

Still, stay alert

No major threat indicators — but a clean scan does not guarantee every page is safe, and phishing emails routinely spoof real domains.

  • Double-check the exact URL in your address bar

    Confirm you are actually on riverbendsquaredental.com and not a lookalike like r-iverbendsquaredental.com.com or an IDN homoglyph.

  • Use a password manager

    Password managers only auto-fill on the exact domain they were saved for — they refuse to fill lookalike domains, which is the single best phishing defence.

  • Discuss this site on the forum

    If you have first-hand experience with this site — good or bad — share it with the MalwareTips community.

Safety FAQ

Common questions about this site, answered directly from the scan data above — so the answers always reflect the latest verdict on this page.

  • Our automated security review found no threat indicators on riverbendsquaredental.com. The site appears legitimate based on the signals we checked, but always stay alert for phishing emails that spoof real domains.
  • riverbendsquaredental.com passed our automated security checks with a trust score of 82/100. No antivirus engines or major blacklists flagged the site at the time of the last scan.
  • Yes. riverbendsquaredental.com presents a valid TLSv1.3 certificate issued by Google Trust Services · WE1, expiring in 58 days. Note that SSL only encrypts the connection — it does not guarantee that the site itself is trustworthy.
  • riverbendsquaredental.com is 4.8 years old, registered on 8/25/2021 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. Scam domains are often freshly registered — a site under 6 months old warrants extra caution.

  • No. riverbendsquaredental.com is not currently listed on the major browser blocklist feeds that modern browsers use.
  • riverbendsquaredental.com resolves to an IP operated by Cloudflare, Inc. in US (usage type: Content Delivery Network). Hosting location alone doesn't make a site good or bad, but unusual geography for a brand's claimed country is one of many signals we weigh.
  • This is a permanent record of the scan run on June 9, 2026. The verdict and evidence above reflect that scan and do not change on their own. If circumstances around riverbendsquaredental.com have changed, MalwareTips staff can run a fresh scan, which re-runs every check from scratch and publishes an updated report.
