According to the American College of Prosthodontists, approximately 178 million people in the U.S. are missing at least one permanent tooth. While missing teeth are common, they can lead to more extensive dental problems that many people aren't aware of. Aside from affecting the aesthetics of a patient's smile, missing teeth can also affect stress of the bite, cause remaining teeth in the mouth to shift, and inhibit the ability to chew, eat, or speak properly. Dr. Shafeeq Badar is helping patients in Chicago restore the aesthetics and function of their smiles with solutions like dental bridges.

For patients struggling with dental problems related to damaged or missing teeth, normal eating, drinking, and brushing can be difficult. With dental implants, Dr. Shafeeq Bader of Dental Impressions in Chicago is able to offer patients a permanent solution to missing teeth that dentures, partial dentures, or dental bridges cannot offer.

It is estimated that about 10 to 40 percent of dental injuries in children are related to organized sports activities. Dental injuries, due to trauma from sports-related activities, can have both short and long-term consequences. While the injury causes significant physical pain, the psychological and the costly effects can impact families for many years. Chicago dentist Dr. Shafeeq Bader helps families by preventing dental trauma in sports with pediatric mouth guards.
