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%.

    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.

    I have nothing but amazing things to say about Mark D Pusateri DDS! I went to Palatine, IL for a little getaway during my time off of work, and he was very hospitable and helped fix my temporary crown that fell out. I really didn’t want to see a dentist while on vacation, but after that one and only appointment, I could tell that he genuinely cares about each patient he sees. Thank you so much Dr. Pusateri for the top-quality dental service and care!

    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!

    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.

    Hands down, Dr. Yoseph-Anhar is the best dentist near me! I’ve been steering clear of the dentist for many years due to previous horrible experiences. But Dr. Yoseph-Anhar and his staff at Optima Family Dental genuinely care about my oral health and made the atmosphere as soothing as possible. Though it sounds stereotypical, it was honestly different than any other dentist I’ve ever been to. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar did a cavity filling, and it was painless - another first for me! Their prices are a little higher than other practices, but they offer various treatment and payment options. I have nothing but excellent things to say about this practice. I’m moving away from Chicago, and it’s honestly one of the things I’m going to miss most.

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.
