Dr. Shakeel is a graduate of the
prestigious New York University College of Dentistry. In
addition to years of successful General Dentistry
Practice, he received advanced training in Implant
dentistry. He has been awarded Fellowship and
Diplomate in Oral Implantology by the International
Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) in 2007. He is
an active member of the Chicago Dental Society,
American Dental Association and ICOI.
His practice, Signature Dental Group,
focuses on advanced restorative dental care with an
emphasis on aesthetic and functional rehabilitation of
patients.
A comprehensive treatment plan,
meticulous attention to detail, commitment to excellence
and focus on patient satisfaction are the cornerstones
of Dr Shakeel's approach. Patients with loose or missing
teeth, severe periodontal disease or tooth decay, are no
longer condemned to ever wear a denture. With dental
Implants, the entire dentition can be restored with
fixed teeth in only a few visits with minimal
discomfort.
Dr Shakeel is also involved in
pursuing the latest techniques in dentistry to cater to
his patients in the best possible manner. Backed up by
countless hours of continuing education courses and vast
clinical experience, he can tailor treatment plans to
fit every patient's needs and budget.
In addition to his cutting edge
techniques, Dr Shakeel's compassionate approach and
charismatic personality, have led him to multiple
successes garnering him with many loyal patients,
including some who come from long distances. "It's worth
the drive!"...they say.

Dr. Rich Hansen joined the Crystal
Lake orthodontic practice of his father, Dr. Glenn
Hansen, in 1994.
Dr. Hansen and his experienced,
committed staff make patient comfort a priority. They
are aware of the importance of family schedules and
rarely keep patients waiting.
Each patient is seen and treated by
Dr. Hansen personally at every visit. This allows him
the opportunity to know each patient individually and to
provide consistent treatment in a timely manner.
Dr. Hansen recognizes the need for
early treatment, when necessary, in certain younger
patients. However, every attempt is made to ensure that
orthodontic treatment is both economical and timely and
that patients do not need to wear their appliances
longer than necessary.
Dr. Hansen also speaks fluent Spanish.
When away from the office, Dr. Hansen
enjoys spending his free time with his wife Gail and his
daughter Genevieve.
