Alfano Charles DMD

Dr. Alfano was my dentist my entire childhood, teens and until I moved to Chicago for law school. He pulled out all my baby teeth and put in all the fillings I still have now. My whole family went to Dr. Alfano when we lived in Rockford. He was so good to us for over 25 years. When I first started seeing Dr. Alfano, he just got out of dental school in Chicago, and he would tell us funny stories of how he made money carrying beer in his bicycle basket. I realize now how very young he was, and how hard he worked to put himself through school and at his dental practice. His first office was in a basement on Charles Street, and now, he’s built his own building.
I haven’t seen Dr. Alfano since I was 21 years old. All the many silver fillings he put in when I was a tween to teen are still intact. According to my new dentist, Dr. Alfano’s work is so well done that I should have at least another 10 to 15 years if not more before my fillings need replacing. My current dentist marveled at one filling that Dr. Alfano did that made up 50% or more of my back molar. That filling saved me from having a root canal and crown until now (25 years later) when a thin piece of my tooth surrounding the filling finally broke off.
Dr. Alfano was always very careful to make dental visits as painless as possible and not perform any unnecessary procedures. We didn’t have very much money back then so Dr. Alfano’s prices must have been quite affordable for a family of four with major dental problems because we could afford to see him regularly.
