The Hidden Risks of
Avoiding Pediatric Dental Care
When children avoid dental care, small problems can become big, painful issues. Cavities can spread, leading to infections that affect eating, sleeping, and even school performance.
Poor oral health in childhood also sets the stage for lifelong dental problems, speech issues, and self-confidence challenges. Regular pediatric dental care is the only way to catch problems early and keep your child's smile healthy for life.

Meet the Doctor
Dr. Duane Hansen
Our dentist - Dr. Hansen, is dedicated to providing the best dental services in Rockford.
Dr. Hansen grew up in the Chicago area, IL. As a child, Dr. Hansen was close to the medical community. His mother was a registered nurse, and that influenced his decision to pursue dentistry.
He earned his bachelor’s degree at Purdue University before achieving his doctorate at Loyola University School of Dentistry. After graduating, he worked as an Associate part-time and opened his first office. Within a few years, he had expanded to five dental practices. He has been a Rockford dentist for more than 25 years. He is a member of the American Dental Association, Chicago Dental Society, Winnebago County Dental Society, the American Academy of Facial Esthetics and trained in oral conscious sedation.
With his skills and experience, one of Dr. Hansen’s favorite aspects of his job is helping patients feel comfortable instead of fearing the dentist. Whether it’s dental implants, different types of cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign, or sedation dentistry, we take pride in restoring the health and appearance of teeth with safe and effective techniques.
OUR PATIENTS TRUST US!
Dr. Hansen was very friendly and outgoing. He was great with my son who's 3! Definitely recommend!!
Had a severe dental emergency on a Friday night at 4:45pm! DD Hansen at Dental Designers had me in and repaired before it got dark outside! I felt immediately at home when we walked inside and no one was even able to tell anything had happened to my teeth when I left! That’s how much of an amazing job he did! Beautiful setting and a true professional who actually cares deeply about what he does! Thank you again! Update: I have had routine work done with DD Hansen recently and I was scheduled quickly and treated amazing by him and all staff each time. I absolutely love going there. I will forever be grateful to him and his team. Highly recommended!
I have been taking all of our kids here for the last 10 years or so. Dr. Hansen and all of his staff are very kind and gentle with my kids. My kids have always been very comfortable going here.
