Periapical X-ray in Kessler Dental
About the clinic
A periapical X-ray at Kessler Family Dental in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, checks the health of the tooth root and surrounding bone. The clinic uses digital radiography to find infections at the root tip and identify signs of bone loss early. Patients review their digital images and intraoral photos with the dentist during the visit to understand their dental health.
Diagnostic capabilities
- Digital periapical views. These scans capture the entire tooth from the crown to the root tip.
- Root assessment. The X-ray detects chronic infections or radiographic lesions at the base of the tooth.
- Bone health check. Imaging helps the dentist measure bone loss around individual teeth.
- Interactive review. Patients see their radiographs on a screen while the dentist explains the findings.
Diagnostic process and standards
The first visit starts with a review of medical history and data collection. The dentist answers specific questions about the images before a coordinator provides a written estimate of any recommended follow-up. This clinic follows strict sterilization protocols that meet or exceed American Dental Association (ADA) and CDC standards. These measures keep the diagnostic environment clean and safe for every patient.
Kessler Family Dental works with most dental insurance providers. They perform benefit checks and verify insurance coverage for the X-ray before the appointment begins. For those without traditional insurance, the clinic offers a loyalty membership plan. Members of this plan do not pay a fee for any type of X-ray performed at the facility.

Specialized Dental Care and Expertise
The clinical team includes five doctors who coordinate care across several dental fields. Dr. Jagdeep Singh leads the surgical and periodontal pathway. He is a Board Certified Periodontist and Surgeon. Dr. Singh completed his specialty training in periodontology and dental implants at Temple University. He also finished a one-year residency at York Hospital.
Dr. Melanie Kessler handles general and cosmetic services. She earned her degree from Temple University's School of Dentistry in 2005. The clinic also employs a clinical manager with EFDA certification and 15 years of experience. This ensures consistency during restorative procedures.
Dental Specialties
The practice covers a broad range of dental disciplines under one roof:
- Restorative Dentistry: Includes crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants.
- Periodontal Care: Treats gum disease through non-surgical therapies.
- Cosmetic Dentistry: Offers veneers, whitening, and full mouth reconstructions.
- Orthodontics: Provides traditional methods and Invisalign clear aligners.
- Endodontics: Performs root canal treatments for infected tooth pulp.
- Children's Dentistry: Treats patients of all ages with a focus on hygiene education.
Root canal procedures typically take one to two hours. Duration depends on tooth location and infection complexity. For moderate to advanced periodontitis, the clinic offers gum surgery and bone grafts. These procedures prevent tooth loss when supporting bone starts to deteriorate.
Modern Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
Kessler Family Dental uses a digital workflow to reduce patient visits. The CEREC system allows for one-visit dentistry. With this technology, certain crowns, fillings, and veneers are created in-office the same day. Several high-resolution tools support diagnostic accuracy:
- Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models and 3D scanning
- Digital X-rays, including panoramic and periapical views
- Intraoral scanning and photography for detailed examinations
- OralDNA salivary testing to assess specific periodontal bacteria
- Digital Smile Design (DSD) for computer-aided cosmetic planning
These tools let patients see their results before physical treatment begins.
Support for International and Anxious Patients
The clinic provides anxiety-free dentistry for patients who experience fear during visits. Options include anxiolysis using mild sedatives like Valium. Sleep dentistry and nitrous oxide are also available. If a patient uses anxiolysis, two separate visits are required. The first covers health history, while the second involves the procedure.
International patients receive a guided experience focused on individualized care. The clinic accommodates English and Spanish speakers. To enhance comfort, the practice offers:
- Noise-canceling headphones with music
- Pillows and blankets
- Lip balm
New patients can access secure online forms to streamline their arrival process.
