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.

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.

    First and foremost - this place is awesome! I just had my first visit at Jeffrey E Riesberg DDS in Highland Park, IL, and I’m amazed! The office is beautiful with comfy chairs, and the staff is super amicable and highly skilled. I’m so happy I’m trusting Dr. Riesberg with my pearly whites. If they can fit you into this dental center for an appointment, which might be hard because they’re usually booked, do it - you won’t be disappointed! It’s the best decision I ever made!

    I wrote a great review for Mark D Pusateri DDS in Palatine, IL a few years ago. But I can’t find it anymore, so I’ll write another one. Dr. Pusateri and his staff are amazing! Before I started coming here, I hadn’t been to a dentist in about 5 years, so my gums were very sensitive and tender. The hygienist had to use numbing gel to clean my teeth, but the next appointment went much better. I’m no longer scared to see the dentist! Dr. Pusateri is amicable and clearly loves being a dentist. His office staff always smiles at me and are so personable and helpful. Plus, they even remind you of your future appointments. They filled a cavity for me, and I felt no pain whatsoever! Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t believe it when they said they were done! I didn’t even feel the needle he used to numb me up - I was so impressed! I told my brother about them, and he loves them too. Plus, parking is a breeze!

    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.

A dental filling or a tooth filling is a common dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by tooth decay, also known as cavities or caries. This procedure involves the removal (excavation) of the decayed portion of the tooth and the replacement of the preparation with the ideal filling material. The goal of a tooth filling is to restore the function, integrity, and shape of the tooth, and to prevent further tooth decay. There are several types of filling material that can be utilized, including: 1. Amalgam (silver or metal) fillings: Amalgam fillings, AKA silver fillings, are made from an alloy of metals that include mercury, tin, silver, and copper. These fillings are very strong and durable and have been used for several years. However, they aren't as aesthetically pleasing as other types and may not be used for visible front teeth. 2. Composite (tooth colored) fillings: Composite fillings, AKA white fillings, are made of a mixture of plastic and glass. These fillings can be closely matched to the color of your teeth, making them a very aesthetically pleasing option. They are used in front teeth as well as posterior teeth (molars). 3. Gold fillings: Gold fillings are made from a mixture or alloy of gold, copper, and other precious metals. They are very durable, and long-lasting but are also more expensive than other fillings types. 4. Ceramic fillings: Ceramic fillings are made up of a mixture of ceramic materials and can be closely matched to the color of your teeth. They are comparatively expensive, but they are also strong and durable. The dental filling procedure typically begins with an examination of the diseased tooth by a dentist. They will examine the tooth and take X-rays to determine the extent of the decay. The dentist will numb the area around the tooth with local anesthetic (Novocaine). Then the dentist will use special dental tools to remove the decayed part of the tooth. Once the decay has been excavated (removed), the tooth will be cleaned and prepared for the filling material. The dentist will place the filling substance in the tooth preparation and shape it to the correct form and shape. If a composite (white) filling is used, it will be hardened with a special curing light. The dentist will then polish the filling down to ensure that it is smooth and comfortable while chewing. After the procedure, the tooth may be slightly sensitive to temperature and pressure for a number of days. This sensitivity is usually transient and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers (NSAIDs). It's crucial to follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist such as avoiding hard or crunchy foods for the first hour, avoiding biting on the fresh filling for a while, and generally maintaining good oral hygiene to ensure that the filling lasts a long time. To summarize, a dental filling is a dental procedure used to repair a tooth that has been damaged by caries. The procedure involves the removal of the decay and the restoration of that area with a filling material. There are multiple types of filling materials that can be used, including amalgam (silver), composite(tooth-colored), gold, and ceramic fillings. The procedure usually involves numbing the area around the tooth and using special tools to remove the decayed parts of the tooth. After the filling procedure, the tooth may be sensitive to hot or cold and pressure for a few days, but this should be temporary. Follow the post-operative instructions provided by the dentist, and if the sensitivity does not dissipate after a couple of weeks, let your dental professional know.

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.
