What We Do
A thorough look at your whole mouth — oral cancer screening, charting of existing and needed restorations, periodontal evaluation, and full radiographs. We take our time because your health deserves it.
Porcelain facings cemented to the front of your teeth to transform color, shape, or the appearance of chipped and crooked teeth. The red-carpet-ready smile Richmond professionals trust.
Invisible, removable, and comfortable braces that straighten your teeth without anyone knowing. Perfect for teens and adults who want results without the metal.
Chair-side or take-home options that lift years of staining from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. Visible results that make you want to smile at everyone you meet.
Titanium implants anchored in bone serve as permanent foundations, while custom-fit porcelain crowns restore both appearance and function. Built to last decades.
Nitrous oxide sedation for patients who feel anxious about dental visits. Combined with our therapeutic blankets, pillows, and iWear video glasses — you'll forget you're at the dentist.
The Difference
Dr. Bussey has practiced on Grove Avenue since 1993 and served as Assistant Professor at VCU/MCV School of Dentistry. Your smile is in the hands of a true master.
Therapeutic blankets, neck pillows, and iWear video glasses transform your appointment into something you actually look forward to. Your kids will ask to come back.
Recently renovated to look more like a work of art than a dental office. Walk in and you'll understand — this is not your typical clinic.
No revolving door of associates. Dr. Bussey knows your history, your concerns, and your goals. Every single visit.
Featured in Richmond Magazine and Incisal Edge, with the University of Louisville Alumni Fellow Award recognizing her commitment to excellence.
From your toddler's first visit to grandma's implants — every member of your family is welcome and cared for under one roof.
Our Story
When Dr. Jill Bussey opened her practice in Richmond's Fan District in the early 1990s, she had a vision that went beyond fillings and cleanings. She wanted to build a place where dental care felt personal, where the environment itself put patients at ease, and where every smile was treated as a work of art.
A graduate of the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and former Assistant Professor at VCU/MCV, Dr. Bussey brings an academic rigor to cosmetic and family dentistry that few private practices can match. She's been recognized with the Alumni Fellow Award, featured on the cover of Incisal Edge, and profiled in Richmond Magazine.
But ask any long-time patient what keeps them coming back, and they won't mention awards. They'll talk about the warm blanket they're handed at every visit. The video glasses that make cleanings fly by. The fact that Dr. Bussey remembers their kids' names. That's the difference between a dental office and a dental home.
