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.

Summary of 200 patient reviews, September 2025–September 2026, updated September 2026

Dr. Mohamad Alkassir offers treatment options that include Invisalign clear aligners and TMJ therapy for patients experiencing jaw joint disorders.

This scanning method supports treatment planning for aligners and other orthodontic appliances. Patients interested in initial assessment can schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss treatment needs and options. Dr. Alkassir and his team accept multiple insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, MetLife, Aetna, and Medicare. The practice files insurance claims directly and applies benefits to covered treatments. For patients requiring financial assistance beyond insurance coverage, Gentle Family Dentistry offers payment plans, in-house financing options, and accepts CareCredit. Evening appointments are available to accommodate work and school schedules, and patients can book appointments through the practice's online scheduling system. The practice has received a 4.9-star rating from 960 Google reviews. Gentle Family Dentistry serves patients throughout the Loves Park area and surrounding communities in northern Illinois.

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!
