Imagine a world where your largely irrational fears of going to the dentist find basis in truth, but in ways you never expected. Investigation Discovery's (ID) newest series DEADLY DENTISTS tells the true stories of dentists involved in murder, giving us reason to acknowledge our fears about sitting in that dreaded chair while sharp metal objects get a little too close for comfort.
Full of twists and turns, these stories of murder feature rotten characters in an industry full of money and meds, where corruption is commonplace. It's hard to distinguish those who are honorable from the deeply distrustful when every smile is full of pearly whites. When you drill down, you reveal the decay rotting the roots of everything it touches.
Episode Descriptions:
Local Fracture - Premiere Episode debuting on Friday, November 24
Everybody loved the small-town dentist Dr. John Yelenic. When the neighbor finds him murdered, however, the DARKNESS in his life surfaces. Detectives soon find a web of people in John's world that have possible motives: a malicious wife holding out on the divorce to get more money. A shady patient looking for drugs. But with charges in the dentist's own past, could it be something the detectives missed?
Dental Plan- premieres Friday, December 1
When Dr. Roman Rezanowicz met and married Kelli Davis, her family was willing to look past his cultural idiosyncrasies because they were so clearly in love. He had a successful dental clinic, they had several wonderful kids and everything was happy. When Roman begins suffering from mental issues, however, it seems to drive Kelli into a depression she can't break from. Her family sees the cracks and asks her to get out but she stays... and commits suicide. When detectives look into her death, though, they find that there are more layers under the surface and realize it may not have been suicide at all... but murder.
Concealed Abscess- premieres Friday, December 8
Dr. Glenn Engleman has been caring for his South St. Louis neighbors for decades, despite the violence swirling nearby. His assistant's husband dies in a hunting accident. An associate is killed in a car bomb that seems to tie her to the local mob turf war. But as police investigate, they find that these deaths may actually be connected. Figuring out how and why reveals a shocking twist that swirls around the dentist that they never expected.
