Oral Exams in Aurora, CO

Are Regular Dental Exams Covered by Insurance?

Most dental insurance plans cover preventive exams twice per year. If you’re unsure about your coverage, our team can help you verify your benefits before your appointment.

For patients without insurance, we offer clear, upfront pricing and flexible payment options, including financing through Cherry.

How Often Should You Get a Routine Dental Exam?

For most patients, we recommend a dental exam every six months to maintain optimal oral health and catch issues before they become serious.

Those with certain conditions—like periodontal disease, frequent cavities, or chronic medical issues—may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Castro will guide you on the best timeline for your unique needs during your initial comprehensive dental exam.

What Are Signs You Might Need a Comprehensive Dental Exam?

Even if you’re not due for your regular checkup, certain symptoms signal that it’s time to schedule a dental health exam:

• Tooth pain or sensitivity
• Bleeding or swollen gums
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose or shifting teeth
• Jaw discomfort or clicking

These signs can point to deeper issues that are easier and less costly to treat when caught early.

How Long Does a Dental Health Exam Take at Our Office?

Most oral exams at Odonto Dental take between 30 and 60 minutes. Your appointment time may vary depending on your dental history, whether X-rays are needed, and whether you’re also receiving a teeth cleaning during the visit.

We’ll always make sure you have plenty of time to ask questions and understand your results without feeling rushed.
