Doctors Network

Illinois is no stranger to change. For instance, the state built the first skyscraper in 1885 and permanently reversed the flow of the Chicago River in the early 1900s. Today, the state is home to over 12.8 million residents of all ages and backgrounds, and is a leading agricultural and economic producer for the rest of the country. In keeping with the spirit of progress, many dentists across Illinois have joined with Doctors Network to provide their patients with the high-quality professional dental care they deserve at highly discounted prices. By partnering with Doctors Network, dentists can offer their patients direct dental plans that help supplement their dental insurance, or provide an affordable alternative for patients who don’t have insurance at all.

Doctors Network

While the costs for biannual dental checkups and cleanings are usually manageable for an individual, they can pile up quickly for families, especially without insurance coverage. Those costs are even higher when young children need corrective treatment, such as early orthodontics, or older patients need to replace lost teeth or undergo oral surgery. The good news is that direct dental plans help patients in Illinois, and across the country, save substantially on all forms of dental health care. With preventive checkups and cleanings as low as $25 per visit, families have a greater chance of reducing dental health costs by avoiding serious dental issues. Other treatments, including tooth fillings, crowns, teeth-whitening, veneers, Invisalign®, and more, will be reduced by up to 90%.

    I’ve been seeing Dr. Yoseph-Anhar for years now, and he and his staff always treat me and my family with so much respect and care. I know they’ll always provide excellent treatment and an honest diagnosis no matter what. I moved about an hour away from Optima Family Dental in Chicago, IL, and I still make the drive to go see them!

    I went in for my first cleaning with Dr. Amante today, and I can’t wait to come back! This place is awesome. I brought my 2 year old daughter in to introduce her to the dentist and get her ready for her first visit. My daughter is shy and doesn’t really like meeting new people, but Dr. Amante was gentle with her and got her relaxed enough that he even got a quick examination in. I’m very happy with this dentist office near me, and so was my daughter.

    I have to visit Winnetka Dental Care at least once a month, sometimes twice per month, and Dr. Raghian and his staff always make it a great time! They really ensure every patient is taken care of properly. I needed some pain medicine because I had a tooth that needed a root canal (Dr. Raghian couldn’t fit me in for a while since I wanted the root canal and crown prep in the same appointment), so I called his office in tears from the pain. They paged him right away and filled a prescription for me. Not even five minutes after that, they called to tell me they had an opening and could get me in for my root canal the very next day! Long story short, if you’re looking for an amazing dentist in Winnetka who does what’s best for you, check them out. I guarantee you’ll love them! They have extended hours, so finding an appointment to fit your schedule should be easy! Everyone here is so friendly and wonderful!

    Hello! I was really spoiled by my last dentist, but Dr. Pusateri and his staff at Mark D Pusateri DDS in Palatine, IL made me feel so good that I knew they were going to be just as awesome! As soon as I arrived, I knew I was in for a great experience! About a year ago, I fractured the crown on my front tooth. A few weeks ago, I was eating a sandwich, and the crown split down the center. It was still in one piece, however, so I went on with my life until yesterday when I bit into my breakfast and ended up swallowing part of it! After my x-rays, impressions, and removing the old crown, they fit me for a new temporary crown. Dr. Pusateri has such a delicate touch, and he was genuinely worried about any pain I was experiencing, which I appreciated, even though it wasn’t that bad. Though the parking isn’t always great, it’s worth it! I’ll for sure go back. He’s my new favorite dentist! If you need dental work and live in Palatine, I highly suggest you give this dentist office a call. I can’t wait to come back!

    I’m very picky when it comes to my dental care, and I’m always leery about going to a new dental provider. But ever since switching to Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS in Highland Park, IL, I never want to go anywhere else. From the front office staff who greets you with a smile to the hygienist to Dr. Riesberg, I’m so amazed by the whole dental team! Everyone’s so friendly, and they have cutting-edge technology that makes any dental procedure (routine or complex) so much easier. If you have a dental emergency, just give them a call because they’re so helpful! They even help you figure out how to pay for your dental care; they understand that even though it’s necessary, it can be expensive. They’re also great if you’re scared or sensitive to dental work, and they’re excellent with kids! Plus, they enjoy giving back to the community. It’s like one big family, and once you’re a patient, you’re family too! Amazing people, fantastic business model, and outstanding dental treatment - if every doctor or dentist treated their patients like Dr. Riesberg does, it would make these experiences so much better all around!

Can scaling and root planing help me reverse gum disease?

b
brush-whisperer-151

In many cases, gingivitis can be reversed with scaling and root planing (known as deep cleaning) and a strict routine of good hygiene and preventative dental care. However, if the condition progresses into periodontitis, then it might no longer be reversible, and will have to be controlled through regular periodontal maintenance.

What is scaling/root planing (Deep Cleaning)?

f
fluoride-achiever-2

Gingivitis marks the beginning of periodontal disease, and describes inflammation in the gums caused by excessive oral bacteria buildup (in the form of plaque and tartar). Because gingivitis occurs underneath the gums, routine dental cleaning won’t suffice to treat it. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, involves removing plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line. Then, your periodontist will smooth the roots of your teeth underneath the gums to discourage further oral bacteria buildup. As plaque and tartar accumulate on the roots, the buildup and resulting inflammation cause your gum tissues to recede slightly from your teeth. This creates deepening periodontal pockets where oral bacteria can continue to gather and multiply, worsening the infection and inflammation. Periodontal cleaning helps stop the infection by removing the films of plaque and tartar from your roots (scaling), and then smoothing their surfaces (planing) to inhibit bacterial buildup as your gums heal. In cases where gum disease has already developed, scaling and root planing should be followed by a strict schedule of checkups, cleanings, and periodontal maintenance. Your periodontist can prescribe appropriate treatment options, such as gingival grafting or pocket reduction surgery, to fortify your compromised tissues so you can recover from gum disease.

It was so easy to find a doctor and make an appointment. I didn't have to take hours to call different offices and find out who takes my insurance and who doesn't.

I'm a freelancer, so I can't buy insurance easily, so I always ended up paying a lot for doctors' visits. I signed up for a Doctors Network dental plan, and my dental cleanings cost only $25 now. If you don't have dental insurance I highly recommend it.

I fell off my bike and chipped my front tooth. I was able to find and book an appointment online right away. Next time I need an appointment I'll try Doctors Network again.
