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.

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 love Dr. Riesberg and his staff at Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS in Highland Park, IL! They always treat me well, and everyone’s very welcoming and skillful. I’ve had no issues with them, and I’ve been seeing them for about two years now (and this was after avoiding the dentist for like 10 years). I had to endure a lot of painful gum scraping, but they were so understanding and stopped to give me breaks many times to let the pain subside or to get the dentist to numb my mouth. Dr. Riesberg has done two emergency cavity/filling repairs and saw me without an appointment. You won’t get that kind of service anywhere else! I love this place! I absolutely adore Dr. Riesberg and his incredible staff!

    Winnetka Dental Care is the best dental office near me! Everybody who works there is so welcoming and genuinely nice, and they’ll never give you a “fake smile” like some other places. Dr. Raghian was my dentist on both visits this past year. He’s very kind and is patient with me, making sure I understand everything that he needs to do procedure-wise. He’s never rushed me and always gives me his undivided attention once he walks into my room. During my last visit, I had some awful jaw pain and tooth sensitivity. He could have told me that I needed a root canal, and I wouldn’t have doubted him. However, he said it was likely because my bite was misaligned. I highly recommend this office to anyone in Winnetka, IL! They have extended hours, so it’s super easy to get an appointment that fits in with my busy schedule.

    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!

    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. Yoseph-Anhar is an amazing, patient-focused expert. He addresses all of my concerns and questions. Because I’m a retired army pilot, he always explains things in a technical way complete with drawings and analogies so that I can fully understand it. I feel like he is always honest about my treatment options, too. Love Optima Family Dental in Chicago!

    Dr. Rehman is so awesome! He is caring, kind, friendly and professional. Driven to give the best quality work to Milwaukee! He is so good, I actually travel a few hours just to see him! I shopped around for a long time trying to find a dentist that was a perfect fit for me, and as soon as I stepped in Bright Dental, I knew this was the place for me. The office is so calm and inviting, and the technology here is always so cool to see! Dr. Rehman is amazing in that he is constantly studying the newest breakthroughs in the trade, so as to make himself an even better dentist! Everything runs smoothly and promptly there, and the staff are just fantastic too. This dentistry is a gem, and so glad I found someone like him! Thank you Bright Dental and Dr. Rehman!

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.
