Dr. Shafeeq Bader of Dental Impressions in Chicago provides restorative care with dental bridges

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/10/2017 -- 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.

A dental bridge is a prosthetic piece created for the patient designed to fill the void of their missing tooth. This fixed restoration is typically made of porcelain and is fabricated to look like the tooth that once took its place. It consists of two dental crowns that are installed on the two adjacent teeth attached to artificial teeth between the two crowns that fills the gap of the missing tooth.

When patients have one or two missing teeth, a dental bridge can help maintain the shape of their face, alleviate the stress on their bite from the missing teeth, improve their ability to speak, eat, and chew, as well as enhance the aesthetics of their smile and prevent their remaining teeth from shifting due to the void of their missing permanent teeth. Dr. Bader works with each patient individually to design a dental bridge that will look like a natural part of their smile—with the correct size, shape, and shade of teeth that will blend in seamlessly with their existing teeth.

In instances where patients have large series of missing teeth, Dr. Bader can also utilize dental bridges fixed to dental implants, which are small metal anchors inserted into the jawbone that perform the same function as tooth roots. These permanent dental implants provide patients with a lasting solution that helps to preserve bone and gum tissue as well.

Dr. Shafeeq Bader of Dental Impressions in Chicago, IL Gives Patients Their Smile and Confidence Back

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/06/2016 -- 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.

Unlike bridges or dentures, dental implants most closely resemble and function like natural teeth. By anchoring to the jawbone with a titanium screw, dental implants have the unique ability to fuse to bone and therefore give patients back their natural look and function. The dental implants Dr. Bader offers are nearly indistinguishable from a patient's natural tooth.

Once the titanium screw is implanted, Dr. Bader custom makes the attached crown to blend in with the patients smile. Depending on the patient, dental implants can be a dental bridge, dental crown, a partial denture, or a full denture. No matter what unique needs a patient has, Dr. Bader strives to offer a tailor made, permanent solution.

Dental implants are rated as one of the most successful surgically implanted devices and for that reason Dr. Bader recommends them as the best option for those struggling with missing teeth. Because of their durability, patients can go about their normal eating, drinking an dental hygiene habits without fear of damaging their implant. As long as patients maintain good dental care – regular brushing, flossing, and cleanings – Dr. Bader's dental implants are likely to last a lifetime.

Dr. Bader and his staff at Dental Impressions are focused on improving the function, appearance, and health of patients' smiles. Dr. Bader is eager to enhance your smile!

Dr. Shafeeq Bader of Dental Impressions in Chicago, Illinois provides customized mouth guards for children of all ages who participate in high and low impact sports

Chicago, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/23/2016 -- 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.

Most youth in sports do not wear a mouth guard because it is not required; however, Dr. Bader recommends this appliance for all children, whether they are involved in high or low impact sports. Previously used solely by boxers, mouth guards have been used to protect injuries of the mouth since the early 1900s. Mouth guards work by absorbing most of the energy from impact and are designed to protect the lips and gums from lacerations. They are also made to protect the teeth and jaw from fracturing, as well as to protect against jaw dislocation.

In general, there are three different types of mouth guards available on the market: custom-fabricated mouth guards, mouth-formed mouth guards, and stock mouth guards. Dr. Bader at Dental Impressions in Chicago, IL provides custom mouth guards to assure that his young patients who are participating in sports are getting the best protection. Although most dental plans do not cover mouth guards, some may provide some level of coverage on a mouth guard cost.

Unfortunately, children with dental injuries to permanent teeth who go without treatment suffer more throughout their daily lives. Time lost from work or school from restorative and/or surgical procedures over the course of a person's life can be adverse and severe. The yearly cost of sports injuries among youth is about 1.8 billion. Although this estimate includes all sports injuries, between 10 and 40 percent of that total is attributed to orofacial injuries. Dr. Bader and his staff strive to alleviate detrimental effects by giving patients simple and affordable remedies like the pediatric mouth guard.
