About Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics of Aurora
An arcade-filled lobby and staff who work with several siblings at once make this a go-to for families juggling multiple kids in braces.
Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics of Aurora is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and clear aligners. Reviews highlight how comfortable young children and anxious patients tend to feel here, often crediting an arcade in the lobby and staff patience during scary procedures like extractions. Several reviews mention juggling more than one child's treatment at the office at a time, and a number of parents note the braces process and steps were explained before starting. Wait times and scheduling mix-ups come up often, and a smaller number of reviews describe billing surprises or insurance claims that weren't submitted as promised.

My wife went in today for a check up and cleaning and as soon as we walked in the place was lively and full of what looks to be like arcade games! How cool. The staff up front are great and kind, they got us in quickly and they did the procedure and was very thorough and explained everything very well. Her assistants were fast and organized. Shout out this place all the way from the mountain tops! Bring yourself down and just get that dental work done!! 👏🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Dr. Al is a wonderful dentist and has taken care of me through for several years now. Shes very kind, and takes her patients comfort into consideration very well. She also performs some of the more scary procedures like extractions or root canals in a very calm yet efficient way, which is great for someone with anxiety regarding dental work.

Super friendly staff , and they even have an arcade in the waiting area that my kids will really enjoy. This is my first visit here and everybody knows how it is going to the dentist.It's not the funnest thing ever, but this place really does a great job to lighten the vibe. I will definitely be back as it's very hard to find an office that you really click with
