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 can’t even express how fantastic Dr. Riseberg and his competent staff are! It took me so long to find a dentist that I could trust with my horrible teeth, so I was very relieved when I found Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS! Dr. Riesberg did an extraction for me with barely any pain, and after one over-the-counter pain pill, I was good as new. The staff is so friendly and never rushes your appointments, and they always make you feel like the most important patient when you’re there. That’s so unusual to see in today’s medical services! The environment is soothing and laid back, and the receptionist does all the medical billing correctly and quickly. If you need an outstanding dentist in Highland Park, IL, check out this dental office!

    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.

    After skipping the dentist for a long time because mine passed away, I knew I finally needed to go get a new dentist. My girlfriend told me about Mark D Pusateri DDS in Palatine, so I booked an appointment. I expected to pay a little more because of where they were located. Following my xrays and consult, Dr. Pusateri recommended that I fill my cavities before they worsened and needed a root canal. I obliged and came back at a later date. He brings out this huge needle and terrifies me, but here’s the thing: I didn’t feel a thing! I always thought numbing shots were an urban legend, but I’m so happy they exist! He fixed my teeth in no time, and I walked out with a huge smile. I was a little annoyed because my mouth was numb, but it’s better than the pain I suppose. Next time, I’ll eat beforehand just to be safe!

    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.

    Today was my first time as a patient at Optima Family Dental in Chicago. I’ve gone with my child and wife when they had some work done, but I hadn’t been there for myself until today. Even before I was a patient, they’ve always been so friendly and gave me a big smile every time they saw me. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his staff are efficient and will tell you whatever’s happening in your mouth. They made sure they answered all my questions before doing anything. I had a fantastic experience, and I can’t wait to go back for my 6-month follow-up appointment!

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.
