What follows is built from the registry rather than from impressions: the counts, the streets, the registration dates, and the real distances to the specialties Old Town does not have. It also flags what our listings cannot tell you, so you know which questions to save for the phone.
What is listed in Old Town
The mix is heavily general. Twenty five of the 31 practices list general dentistry and five are recorded as dental clinics. Only two specialist listings appear at all: one in oral and maxillofacial surgery and one in orthodontics.
The addresses concentrate on a handful of streets. Mobil Ave has 10 practices, Pickwick Dr seven, Ventura Blvd six, Palm Dr three and Daily Dr one. Everything falls within ZIP code 93010, which makes Old Town easy to cover on foot or in a single short drive if you want to visit more than one.
Eighteen practices are registered as individual practitioners and 13 as organizations. Twenty of the 31 were registered before 2010, and the oldest registration in the neighborhood dates to 2005.
- 31 practices, 25 listing general dentistry
- 10 on Mobil Ave, seven on Pickwick Dr, six on Ventura Blvd
- One ZIP code: 93010
- 18 individual practitioners, 13 organizations
- 20 registered before 2010, oldest in 2005
How to choose between them
When 25 of 31 listings are general dentistry, the practical question is not which specialty to pick but how far each general dentist will take your treatment before referring you out. Ask whether root canals, extractions, implants and crowns are done in house. Given how few specialists are listed nearby, that answer decides how much travel your care involves.
Ask who you will see. A listing in one dentist's name usually means one dentist. The 13 organizations may have several clinicians, which can mean shorter waits but less continuity.
Registration age is a rough signal of stability. Twenty of these practices have been on the register since before 2010. It says nothing about the quality of the dentistry, but it does mean the address has not just appeared.
If you need something Old Town does not have
Three common specialties are missing here, and unlike some neighborhoods the alternatives are not around the corner. Pediatric dentistry and endodontics both take you to Oxnard, about 7.7 miles away, where the directory records 17 pediatric practices and 11 endodontic ones. Prosthodontics means a longer trip to Westlake Village, roughly 12.1 miles out, where nine practices are listed.
Old Town has only one immediate neighbor in the directory. Camarillo Heights, 1.2 miles away, holds five practices. So if the 31 listings here do not suit you, the next real pool of choice is in another town rather than another neighborhood.
That is worth planning around. If you know a root canal or a child's course of treatment is coming, ask your general dentist early who they refer to and how far it is, rather than finding out on the day.
Insurance and paying
The first question to settle is network status. In network means your insurer has already agreed the fee with the practice. Out of network usually leaves you paying a larger share, even for a covered procedure. Ask the practice, then confirm it with your insurer, since plans vary within the same company.
For anything more than a cleaning, ask for a written estimate showing the procedure codes, the practice fee, what insurance is expected to pay and what you owe. If a referral sends you to Oxnard or Westlake Village, ask the same of that practice before you travel.
Our listings record registration details only. They hold no fees, no opening hours and no insurance information, and none of the 31 Old Town practices has claimed its listing or added a website or hours. A claimed listing is the only way that detail reaches this page.
If it is urgent
For a broken tooth, a lost filling or pain that will not settle, call early and ask plainly whether the practice can see you today. With 25 general listings inside one ZIP code, working down the list is realistic even if your own dentist is booked.
Some problems belong in an emergency room instead. Go to hospital if swelling is spreading toward your eye or down your neck, if you are struggling to breathe or swallow, if you have a fever alongside facial swelling, or if bleeding will not stop. Those point to a spreading infection or a bleed that a dental appointment cannot safely handle.
If you would rather search outward from your own address, dentist directory ranks practices by distance instead of by neighborhood.
Questions patients ask
How many dental practices are in Old Town, Camarillo?
The directory lists 31, all in ZIP code 93010. Twenty five list general dentistry, five are recorded as dental clinics, and there is one oral and maxillofacial surgery listing and one orthodontics listing. That is more than a quarter of the 118 practices listed across Camarillo as a whole, packed into a few streets around Mobil Ave and Pickwick Dr.
Where is the nearest pediatric dentist to Old Town?
No Old Town practice lists pediatric dentistry. The nearest listings are in Oxnard, about 7.7 miles away, where the directory records 17 pediatric practices. Many general dentists treat children for routine checkups, so ask locally first. A pediatric specialist is more likely to matter for anxious children or for treatment beyond a simple filling.
Do I have to leave Camarillo for a root canal?
Not necessarily. No Old Town practice carries an endodontics listing, and the nearest endodontists are in Oxnard about 7.7 miles away, where 11 are recorded. However, plenty of general dentists perform root canals themselves. Ask whether the practice does them in house before assuming you will be referred out of town.
