About Gentle Family Dentistry
Screaming toddlers, kids with autism, and anxious siblings all get handled with patience here, under Dr. Mohamad Alkassir's care.
Gentle Family Dentistry is a general dental practice under Dr. Mohamad Alkassir that also offers Invisalign and TMJ treatment, though most reviews describe routine family dental care. Reviews frequently mention the office's ease with young children, including managing anxious or uncooperative kids and scheduling siblings together in one visit. The recently remodeled office is often described as clean and modern, and same-day appointments for emergencies like cracked teeth or crowns come up often. A handful of reviews raise concerns about cost and feeling pushed toward treatments like crowns or deep cleanings.

Very caring dentist and staff! So glad we found them! Clean office and comfortable environment!
Everyone was so incredibly kind and helpful, very inviting space and welcoming staff. The Dr. actually took the time to explain all of my options for the best treatment! Never thought I’d say I’m excited to go to the dentist now.
I came here because the name had gentle in it. Nikki was very nice and and gentle she made me feel like a person not just a number. I saw Dr. K. He as well was very nice and talked in a soft spoken tone made me feel less nervous
Had an awesome first visit. Everyone was friendly & did a thorough job explaining all of the steps throughout the cleaning & for my future appointment.
This has been my family dentist for as long as I can remember. The waiting area and rooms are clean, the receptionists are inviting and helpful, and the doctor/hygienists are courteous and professional. I will definitely continue to use this as my dental care provider as long as I am in the Rockford area!
