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%.

    The staff at Mark D Pusateri DDS are so welcoming and instantly put your mind at ease. They’re pretty quick, too. I used to hate going to the dentist, but I’m so glad I found this hidden gem in Palatine, IL! I love their hygienist. She’s the most careful, thorough hygienist I’ve ever had work on my mouth. Thank you! Dr. Pusateri is very genuine and truly cares about every patient on a personal level! The environment is homey and clean. Parking can be challenging, but that doesn’t stop me from going. My friend actually drops me off/picks me up, and then we go out to eat afterwards!

    Due to previous bad dental experiences, I’m a little nervous to go to the dentist and haven’t seen one in a few years, but Dr. Riesberg is amazing! He instantly calmed my nerves. I thought I needed a root canal, but he said it wasn’t that serious. He thoroughly explained what I was doing wrong in terms of my tooth care and diet. He treated the affected area quickly, and then I had my cleaning. Everything was painless, and I was out in under an hour. I just wish I had found Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS in Highland Park, IL a lot sooner!

    My regular dentist moved away and is retiring, so I needed to find one closer to Winnetka. I looked on Doctors Network for the best dentist near me, and I found Dr. Raghian at Winnetka Dental Care. Funny story actually - I went to school with Dr. Raghian’s brother, and the receptionist’s relative lives down the block from me. Sounds like destiny to me! After I filled out the new patient paperwork, the hygienist x-rayed my teeth, checked for any signs of decay, and then cleaned my teeth. She used a tool called a cavitron to take all the calculus and plaque off my teeth - it was pain free! She was super careful not to hurt me because I told her that I’m a huge baby in regards to dental work. I needed Dr. Raghian to do some drilling and filling for me, so he numbed my mouth with novocaine. The needle didn’t even hurt! The drilling and filling went really smoothly, and he walked me through the procedure and aftercare. I’m so happy with the high level of care I got at this office!

    I started coming to Dr. Amante at Amante Dental Center, and I’m so glad I made the change. He is always kind and friendly. I’m so glad I actually found a dentist in Schaumburg I like. The office is spotless and always has a lot of natural light, which made me feel relaxed and definitely less claustrophobic than how I’ve felt at other places when I sit in the chair. Check in was easy and fast, as were x-rays. They were very professional and obviously knew what they were doing. The hygienist did a very thorough cleaning of my teeth, it was the best I’ve ever had. I went in to get fillings done a couple of weeks ago, and those turned out great as well. He made sure that my new bite still worked with my retainers. I had to stay a little bit later for that, but he didn’t seem to mind and I never felt like I was being a problem. I’ve recommended Dr. Amante to all my friends and family who live in Schaumburg, even if they aren’t looking for a new dentist. He’s that good. I wish I had found this place sooner. My teeth look great, better than they ever have. I can’t thank Dr. Amante enough for all they do.

    Because of a few bad experiences, I’d basically been avoiding the dentist at all costs, but thanks to Doctors Network, I found a fantastic dental office! It had been two years since I had last been to the dentist, but Dr. Yoseph-Anhar was so helpful and gentle. I highly recommend Optima Family Dental in Chicago, IL to all my family and friends. If you only go to the dentist when you absolutely have to, you’ll want to come here next time!

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.
