Doctors Network

It has been said that if you stretched Wisconsin’s 7,446 miles of streams and rivers end to end, they could circle the globe at the equator. In addition, the state also boasts five state parks and over 250 miles of shoreline along Lake Michigan. Wisconsin’s impressive natural beauty is just one of the state’s many wonders, and only one reason why residents and tourists alike love the Badger State. Now, families have even more reason to love Wisconsin with direct dental plans from Doctors Network. Offered directly through dentists’ offices in Wisconsin, direct dental plans can help the state’s over 5.7 million residents save on all of their dental health care costs. Because the plan works separately from insurance, patients are eligible to join whether or not they already have existing coverage.

Doctors Network

With less than 6.6% of people in Wisconsin uncovered by insurance, Wisconsin’s uninsured population is lower than most other states. Yet, even with insurance, many patients are surprised to learn that their coverage doesn’t adequately cover many of the treatments they need or want. Some plans leave people with high out-of-pocket expenses that they cannot afford, rendering the insurance plan useless. With Doctors Network, there are no surprises. The plan covers every treatment that your dentist offers, and follows a predetermined fee schedule that does not change without notice. Regular checkup and cleaning appointments are only $25 per visit, including X-rays, while other treatments (such as fillings, root canal therapy, dental crowns, implants, and more) will always be discounted, sometimes by up to 90%. Everyone can qualify for a direct dental plan regardless of age or the state of their current dental health.

    Holy moly! Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS is the best dentist near me and maybe in all of Highland Park, IL! I used to go to the dentist twice a year every year until I had a really bad experience when I was in my 20s. After that, I only went to the dentist twice to remove my wisdom teeth. Dr. Riesberg and the dental hygienist are super understanding and attentive. I was so embarrassed that my teeth were disgusting looking because I smoke, drink coffee and tea, and have a lot of tartar buildup. But they didn’t make me feel bad about it all! I feel like they gave me a brand new mouth in just one cleaning - my teeth were so white! I’m so pleased with the work they did! I also love that they have some of the most cutting-edge equipment, and they really do everything they can to make you feel comfortable.

    Dr. Pusateri is a dental expert! He actually put off his lunch break so that he could fix my chipped front tooth - how sweet is that!? He’s attentive, takes his time, and treats your teeth like they’re a work of art, all kidding aside. Thank you Dr. Pusateri and staff at Mark D Pusateri DDS (Palatine, IL)! You’re the best dentist near me - hands down!

    I just had my first appointment at Winnetka Dental Care. I booked an appointment because I had a small chip in my front tooth, and they got me in the same day. Their location in Winnetka, IL is convenient, and the office is organized and spotless. The staff was kind and informative. I arrived 20 minutes early to give myself enough time to fill out paperwork, and they took me back two minutes after my scheduled time. Dr. Raghian filled the chip, and I had such a great time that I booked a cleaning appointment for later this week! Highly recommend!

    I had heard from a friend about how great Doctor Rehman was, and boy was he right! Dr Rehman is so professional, caring and is so personable when by the chair. As soon as I walked in, I felt comforted and cared for. They all take great pride in their work, and this is why I suggest Bright Dental to all of Milwaukee!

    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.

    I’ve been seeing Dr. Yoseph-Anhar at Optima Family Dental in Chicago, IL for a long, long time. My previous experiences with dentists were awful, but I’ve always received excellent care and service from Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his dental team. From the front desk to the exam chair, the staff is so brilliant and warm. They know I have dental anxiety but always make sure I feel comfortable. Thanks Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and staff!

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.
