Comprehensive dental examinations to assess oral health and catch problems early.
Looking for dental exams in Phoenix, AZ? At Rodeo Dental Phoenix, our experienced dental team provides dental exams services for patients of all ages — from toddlers to seniors. We accept most insurance plans, Medicaid, and CHIP, and offer flexible payment options for families without coverage.
AHCCCS and CHIP verification at the 85043 front desk
Our front desk runs live AHCCCS and Arizona CHIP eligibility checks at check-in before your child is seated, so any noncovered codes are flagged and explained in English or Spanish before the hygienist starts. You won't get a surprise statement in the mail two weeks later.

Spanish-first abuela-in-the-operatory protocol
If a Spanish-speaking parent or grandparent is accompanying the patient, the hygienist and doctor will conduct the entire recall — intake, findings, home-care review — in Spanish at chairside rather than pulling in a separate translator. Maritza and the bilingual team handle the family paperwork at the front.

Sibling-stacked chairs before the 7 PM close
When multiple kids from one household are on the schedule, we try to seat them in adjoining operatories so parents aren't hopping rooms. After-school slots between 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM are where this happens most often.

Prevention is 10x cheaper than treatment. A little care now saves a lot later.
✓
Early-stage cavities and gum inflammation are reversible with a cleaning, fluoride, and home-care adjustment — the same lesion six months later usually needs a filling instead.
✓
Kids who have a calm, uneventful first prophy are far less likely to develop the dental anxiety that carries into adulthood and skipped adult cleanings.
✓
A recall exam is how we catch the enamel demineralization, bite-wear, and early orthodontic crowding that are silent at home but obvious on bitewings and intraoral photos.

Rodeo Dental Phoenix • Dental Exams & Check-ups for all ages
What's Included in Your Dental Exams & Check-ups — Phoenix
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Phoenix, AZ for dental exams & check-ups:
1.
Bitewing and periapical recall radiographs
Digital bitewings capture interproximal caries between the posterior teeth, and targeted periapicals are added when the exam flags a symptomatic tooth or deep restoration.
2.
Full-mouth periodontal probing with six-point charting
The hygienist records pocket depths at six sites per tooth plus bleeding and recession readings, establishing the baseline that determines whether you're on a prophy or periodontal maintenance interval.
3.
Ultrasonic scaler plus hand-instrument prophy
Supragingival and light subgingival calculus is removed with a piezo ultrasonic tip, then Gracey and universal curettes finish the surfaces the ultrasonic can't reach cleanly.
4.
5% sodium fluoride varnish for pediatric recalls
After polishing, a 5% sodium fluoride varnish is painted onto the enamel of child and high-caries-risk patients — it sets on contact with saliva and doesn't require the 30-minute eat/drink delay older gel trays did.
5.
Intraoral camera and oral cancer screening
An intraoral camera documents any enamel cracks, wear facets, or soft-tissue findings chairside, and the doctor completes a visual and palpation screening of the tongue, floor of mouth, and lateral borders during the exam.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & Check-ups
Where exactly is the Buckeye office and where do I park?
We're at 7710 W Lower Buckeye Rd, Suite 120, Phoenix, AZ 85043 — the strip set back from Lower Buckeye just east of the 75th Ave light. The shared lot wraps around the building, so stroller and car-seat unloading happens a few steps from the Suite 120 door.
What are your hours for preventive cleanings?
Monday through Friday 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM and Saturday 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. We're closed Sundays. The late weekday window is designed for after-school and after-work recall visits.
Do you accept AHCCCS for my kids' cleanings and exams?
Yes — we verify AHCCCS and CHIP eligibility for children at check-in, and our bilingual front desk will walk through what's covered before the hygienist brings your child back. Call (623) 387-9101 if you want to confirm your plan before booking.
Can you see my kids and me on the same visit?
Most of the time, yes. If you book together, we try to pair adjoining chairs so siblings and a parent can be cleaned in overlapping windows rather than back-to-back round trips from 85043.

What makes our Phoenix office unique for dental exams & check-ups
Dental Exams & Check-ups for Phoenix Families
Our Buckeye office sits on the south side of West Lower Buckeye Road, in Suite 120 just east of the 75th Avenue crossroad in the 85043 ZIP — the Estrella corridor stretch that pulls families from Laveen, Tolleson, and the newer rooftops off Baseline. Preventive Dentistry here is shaped by what West Phoenix actually deals with: hard municipal tap water from the Verde-Salt system that leaves mineral staining on enamel, soccer-heavy weekends at Estrella Community Park and Cesar Chavez Park that send kids in with chipped edges, and a lot of bilingual households juggling AHCCCS coverage for the children and out-of-pocket visits for Mom or Dad.
We keep the schedule built around that reality — after-school cleaning slots until 7 PM, Saturday morning visits until 2 PM, and Spanish-first intake so abuela can sit in the operatory without a translator app in her lap.
