General Dentistry in Royal Palm Beach, FL

Your Home for Gentle, Leading-Edge Dental Care

Nothing attracts people more than the sight of a strong and vibrant smile; in fact, your healthy smile often exudes vigor and general well-being. Helping patients achieve a healthy, comfortable smile that they feel proud of is at the heart of general dentistry. The general dentistry we provide is customized to the personal needs of each patient, encompassing all aspects of preventive, restorative, emergency procedures, and teeth replacement.

Dr. Steven Bussell, who has over two decades of experience serving the Royal Palm Beach community, leads our compassionate team. We provide a single location for leading-edge dentistry, focusing on early detection and a truly comfortable patient experience.

We Welcome All Patients: No Judgment, Just Care

If it's been so long since the last dental appointment that you can't remember, don't hesitate to give us a call at any time. It's not our job to scold or judge patients; we understand why many patients may avoid going to the dentist. Our friendly dental staff works closely with Royal Palm Beach patients to ensure they feel educated, comfortable, and relaxed.

Our Full Range of Preventive Services

Dr. Steven Bussell and our entire dental team strive to provide patients with preventive dentistry that helps them avoid many common dental conditions for better overall health and a comfortable smile. Preventive dentistry includes:

Dental Exams & Screenings

• Each patient receives a comprehensive dental exam that includes teeth, gums, jaw joints, and bone health.
• We utilize advanced digital x-rays and 3D Imaging (CBCT) to promote early diagnosis.
• We include oral cancer screening as part of your routine checkup.

Gentle Cleanings & Periodontal Treatment

• Dental cleanings are different based on your needs, from simple six-month cleanings to periodontal maintenance.
• When treating periodontal disease, we use laser dentistry for accurate and comfortable treatment, promoting better healing and tissue regeneration.

Proactive Protection

• Fluoride Treatments: Naturally strengthen enamel for both adults and kids.
• Dental Sealants: A barrier that Dr. Bussell paints into the deep grooves of teeth to prevent decay.

Custom Guards for Protection (Bruxism & Athletics)

• Nightguards: A custom nightguard is a barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent wear from clenching and grinding (bruxism).
• TMJ Treatment: For patients with TMJ (jaw joint) disorders, we offer treatment with NTIs (small nightguards that fit over front teeth to help jaws relax).
• Athletic Mouthguards: Custom-fitted mouthguards offer superior protection during sports.

Based on your dental history, we can design a preventive treatment plan to help you maintain excellent oral health and keep your teeth for a lifetime. 

When teeth develop decay, wear, or fractures, the appropriate dental restoration can add comfort and protection from continued damage. Dr. Bussell relies on advanced diagnostic imaging to ensure every restoration is precise and long-lasting.

Some restorative dental treatments may include:

• Fillings
• Dental crowns
• Porcelain veneers
• Dental bonding

A dental exam will give Dr. Bussell a chance to determine which restorations will work best for you. He will discuss your options and help you make a choice you feel confident about.

Expert Treatment for Periodontal Disease and Missing Teeth

Periodontal Treatment Therapy: Saving Your Teeth and Health

The general dentistry we provide includes expert care for periodontal disease. The American Dental Association (ADA) warns that if left untreated, gum disease is linked to systemic health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes.

Symptoms of gum disease Include:

• Consistent bad breath
• Toothaches
• Receding gums
• Bleeding gums

If you have periodontal disease, we start treating it with a deep cleaning and regular dental check-ups and exams to control tooth infection and inflammation.

Comprehensive Solutions for Replacing Missing Teeth

We recommend replacing a lost tooth as soon as possible to prevent bone loss and adjacent teeth from shifting. Without a tooth root, the jawbone will start to recede, which affects your facial contours.

Dr. Bussell’s tooth replacement options:

• Bridges
• Dental implants (The superior, long-term solution)
• Partial dentures
• Full dentures
• Implant-supported dental bridges and dentures

Dental pain is never normal and is often an indicator of severe underlying issues.
