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%.

    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.

    I hate the dentist so much that I didn’t go for two years even though I was paying for insurance. The noises are like nails on a chalkboard, but I had the nicest hygienist ever! She cared when I told her I was anxious, and she asked me if I had any tooth sensitivity. When I told her yes and showed her where she kept putting a numbing agent on my bottom teeth to ensure I felt no pain. (My friend said her dentist charged extra for that!) She and I chatted like friends, and she was actually interested in me as a person, not just another patient. She was so great, and I hope I get her every time now! Then my dentist, Dr. Raghian, came in to look at me. He was really nice and told me about a few problem areas and things to watch for. I picked Winnetka Dental Care in Winnetka, IL-based on all the good reviews on Doctors Network, and I’m so glad I did!

    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.

    Mark D Pusateri DDS is the best dentist near me! Dr. Pusateri is just incredible, and his office staff is so kind. He even calls me and my children by name. We’ve been seeing him ever since he started his dental practice years ago. He does everything from routine cleanings to cosmetic surgeries. Once, I chipped my tooth, and he fixed it the following day! Bonus: you can’t even tell it was ever chipped! He also fitted me for teeth whitening trays and a mouth guard because I grind my teeth at night. You do have to wait a while for an appointment, however, because they’re busy, so make sure you schedule a few weeks ahead of time. I love Dr. Pusateri - highly recommended!

    I went to Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS because my fiance comes here, and as soon as I walked in, I knew this was my new dental home. Plus, they are really close to my house in Highland Park, IL. The receptionist is so considerate and hilarious, and everyone makes you feel so comfortable even if you’re there for a stressful procedure. They did a cleaning for me, and I booked another appointment to get a crown. Dr. Riesberg worked really quickly, and I never even felt the novocaine shot. They cemented in my crown really fast, and before I knew it, I was walking out the door. Everyone’s so sociable, and the atmosphere is so soothing. You can tell they all love their jobs. Thank you everyone for a fantastic experience - I’m really grateful for your kindness. Thanks for assisting me with my dental problems!

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.
