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 called Optima Family Dental for a last minute appointment, and even though I showed up late, they squeezed me in. The staff was so friendly and kind, and filling out the paper work was a breeze. The office looked very modern, and the prices were the cheapest I’d ever see in Chicago, IL. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his team deserve as many stars as they can get!

    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.

    Dr. Raghian is the only dentist who can put me to sleep while drilling my teeth or injecting novocaine without a sedative! He has such a delicate touch and is very coordinated. Plus, he always teaches me something about oral hygiene every time I’m there. I love all the cutting-edge technology they have at their office in Winnetka, IL. They send me appointment reminders, and the staff is really productive. When you schedule an appointment, they see you promptly. They also have a TV you can watch, and they don’t just show you those scary dental videos that tell you what’s wrong with your mouth...it’s more like Animal Planet and Travel Channel. What’s kind of funny is that even though they have a waiting room, you never wait for your appointment! You literally only sit there for a few seconds before being taken to the back. The facility is neat, and they soaked my dentures for me. I got a filling today and was done in under an hour. Thank you Dr. Raghian and staff at Winnetka Dental Care!

    I highly recommend Mark D Pusateri DDS! I was going to another dentist in Palatine, so when my boyfriend had some wisdom teeth pain, I took him to my dentist. Let’s just say that it was a terrible experience. They took one (brief) look at his mouth and told him to come back a few days later because there was nothing they could do. No one who was qualified to extract wisdom teeth was in the office. They gave him some pain killers, but the pain was so bad that it didn’t help. He walks in a few days later, and the dentist told him he couldn’t do the extraction because his mouth was too swollen and the muscles were too tense. He prescribed him more pain killers, a muscle relaxer, and an antibiotic and told him to return in a few days. I called Mark D Pusateri DDS, and they told us to come in right away. You can tell they truly cared about how much pain my boyfriend was in and genuinely wanted to help him. He went to see Dr. Pusateri, who examined his mouth and extracted his problem wisdom tooth in a matter of minutes. We were shocked by how fast he did it. He said the swelling was still pretty bad, so he prescribed a stronger antibiotic to take care of it. My boyfriend needed help immediately before his condition worsened, and Dr. Pusateri helped him out! He even followed up, asking if he was okay. Now, my boyfriend and I scheduled our next cleaning appointments with this office. Thank you so much!

    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!

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.
