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%.

    Yesterday, I got my wisdom teeth removed at Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS in Highland Park, IL. Dr. Riesberg is just amazing! He did 3 extractions and 1 filling, and I felt absolutely no pain. Everything went as planned, and he was very prompt. I was kind of amazed because everyone talks about how painful it is to get your wisdom teeth removed and that I wouldn’t even be able to come into work, but I was back to work the very next day, feeling absolutely fine! Thanks Dr. Riesberg - you’re awesome!

    After checking reviews on Doctors Network, I decided to go to Mark D Pusateri DDS for a routine check up. Doctors Network did right by me once again! Everyone here was so kind and helpful and gave me tips on how to care for my teeth. They even emailed me all my new patient paperwork, so I could fill them out ahead of time and save time at the office. That was awesome. While I was there, they kept me calm, which is hard to do at the dentist office. Dr. Pusateri is calm, welcoming, and gentle. He was also really helpful, and after speaking with him, I now see why he had such great ratings. A couple of days later, I returned for a cleaning, and the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth was so inviting and helpful, too. I’ve seen a few good dentists in my lifetime, but as long as I live in Palatine, IL, I’ll keep seeing Dr. Pusateri.

    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 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.

    After my first visit at Optima Family Dental in Chicago, IL, I kept going back, which means a lot because I’m terrified of the dentist. They gave me my very first crown. Dr. Yoseph-Anhar was a pleasure as was his competent assistant, and they worked together so well. As expected, I experienced the numbing shots, grinding, and drilling, which still scared me but only because I’m such a chicken. It really wasn’t that bad. They’re just amazing!

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.
