General Dentistry
Dr. Bussell can identify a number of oral conditions during your comprehensive dental exam. Because enamel is covering each tooth, he cannot always detect what is happening beneath the surface. A dental x-ray will reveal more than is visible to the naked eye alone.
Why X-Rays Help
Without dental x-rays, a small cavity can spread under the enamel, deteriorating the interior of your tooth and even affecting the nerve. By monitoring your health routinely with x-rays, we can stop this progression. Since we use digital dental x-rays, our patients are receiving the safest and most accurate x-rays available today.
Digital x-rays work very much like a digital camera, delivering a high-resolution image immediately to the treatment room monitor for Dr. Bussell to review and to assist him in diagnosis.
Your Safety & Comfort Is Our Top Priority in Royal Palm Beach
Because they emit up to 80 percent less radiation than traditional x-rays, digital dental x-rays are one of the safest medical x-rays used today. You will absorb more radiation by being outside on a sunny afternoon.
We recommend dental x-rays in Royal Palm Beach based on the needs of our patients. Typically, we take bitewings yearly and a full-mouth series every 3-5 years, depending on your dental history.

Dental deep cleaning in Royal Palm Beach, FL, is a way to clear debris and tartar from below the gumline.
Regular Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning
A regular tooth cleaning—as part of your six-month dental checkup—allows the hygienist to clear away debris left behind by your toothbrush and floss. The stubborn plaque and bacteria require special tools for complete eradication.
We perform deep cleanings if you’ve been diagnosed with periodontitis, the advanced form of gum disease.
Periodontitis is a severe condition that can cost you your smile. It can even compromise your physical health. Gingivitis, the mild form of gum disease, is reversible; however, once it advances to periodontitis, we can only prevent it from progressing and further damaging your oral health.
Deep teeth cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, involves using specialized instruments to work below the gum, recontour gum tissue, and smooth tooth roots to promote reattachment of gum tissue to the teeth.
We can perform deep cleanings under local anesthetic—depending on your needs, you may be a candidate for less invasive laser treatment.
