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’ve been Dr. Pusateri’s patient for a few years now. I’m not originally from Palatine, IL, but I moved here a couple of years ago. Dr. Pusateri and his staff consistently provide the best service and dental expertise I’ve ever experienced. From the receptionists to cleanings to billing to checking out, everyone I’ve bumped into has been so kind. Dr. Pusateri always gives me his undivided attention and answers all my questions, which is a breath of fresh air because most doctors try to rush you out the door. At Mark D Pusateri DDS, however, they focus on the quality of patient care, not the quantity of patients. Parking is also pretty convenient, and their office is easy to find. Thank you Dr. Pusateri and staff - I wish you all the best!

    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!

    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.

    I just went to Winnetka Dental Care in Winnetka, IL for the first time, and it was the best dental experiences ever! Dr. Raghian and his staff are so welcoming, and they genuinely want to get to know you. The exam was quick and detailed, and they were extremely careful and made me feel comfortable. I highly recommend them to everyone!

    My family, including my pre-teen daughter who has intense dental anxiety and is going through another round of braces, has been going to Optima Family Dental in Chicago for five years. We actually love getting our teeth cleaned by the hygienists. The staff deserves all the praise! Dr. Yoseph-Anhar always makes us comfortable with his gentle yet skilled demeanor. I have nothing but great things to say about the staff - they’re so helpful! No matter what stage of life you’re in, I strongly suggest you give them a chance, especially if you’ve had some traumatic dental experiences before.

    Bright Dental is unique. Dr. Rehman is extremely professional and takes great pride in his work. I felt right at home! I no longer fear going to the dentist! They make sure my entire visit is pain free. I can?t even stomach the thought of going anywhere else in Milwaukee. I completely recommend Bright Dental and Dr. Rehman to everyone!

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.
