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 going to Mark D Pusateri DDS in Palatine, IL for years, and I never plan on switching to another dentist - ever! Dr. Pusateri and his office staff are so amazing and considerate, and I actually enjoy visiting their office. They never told me I needed additional procedures during my check-ups/cleaning. But a few days ago, I chipped my front tooth, so I called the office right away the next day. They told me to come in that day, and they fixed it in less than 10 minutes. It was fast, simple and pain free! Dr. Pusateri is a dental expert, which is why I’ve been seeing him for so long. I also told my husband to go see him because his last dentist actually made his teeth even worse. He was in a lot of pain for a long time, but Dr. Pusateri fixed him right up! A few of my peers also go to his office, and they all really enjoy it!

    After throwing away my time and money with other dentists in Highland Park, IL (including a cosmetic and TMJ specialist), I decided to check out Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS. I was very impressed! Dr. Riesberg and his incredible staff were so sweet, considerate, and didn’t judge me. They were very fast and productive and worked hard to get my teeth back in great shape. I can definitely tell a big difference - highly recommended!

    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.

    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!

    If you’re scared of the dentist, you need to head to Optimat Family Dental in Chicago, IL because it’s the best dentist near me! They’re so careful and make everything painless. I get my teeth cleaned there, and every time, the hygienist is very detailed yet careful not to hurt me. I always walk out with squeaky clean teeth! Dr. Yoseph-Anhar is incredible as well. He said I could use a deep cleaning, but I had been putting it off because I don’t enjoy the cavitron. I finally bit the bullet and had it done, and it was amazing! I didn’t feel any pain at all. Thank you to everyone at this dentist office!

    Very satisfied with how Bright dental handles their patients. I normally don’t like dentists, but Dr. Rehman is different. He takes time to tell me everything he is doing and makes sure I am pain free. The technology they utilize is beyond amazing. I know I will be back. Love this great dentist, and glad that he is near me in Milwaukee!

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.
