I can’t say enough about Dr. Ericksen and his staff. They’re all so friendly and pleasant. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ericksen for about three years now and my teeth have never looked better. They go the extra mile to make sure you understand your bill and they’ll do whatever they can to accommodate your schedule.
Highly recommended.

Dr. Ericksen has been our family dentist for over 30 years. His practice wonderful. Tammy a the front desk is considerate, kind and a lot of fun. Most of all, she's great at scheduling. The team is good at being both thorough and conscious of time. When my kids were little, they loved going to the dentist! Dr. Ericksen does a great job with cosmetic dentistry including fixing cracked teeth and matching the color perfectly. He also did such a good job with a gum graph that I can't even see it. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when he treated my 90 year old mother like

You won't meet a friendlier dentist (Dr. Ericksen and his staff). You can't help but befriend the. And they're just as good with teeth as they are with people.

Dr. Ericksen has been my dentist for over 10 years. He and his staff are always very professional and efficient. Our appointments are always on time, and I have had many procedures in addition to the biannual cleanings. I have had a gum graft and filling done. They have lasted and have had no issues eating or cleaning my teeth. I recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist in northern Virginia.

If I could give them negative stars I would, that's how bad this place is. I suggest you avoid this place at all cost. My wife went here for a check up last week where they told he she needed a root canal immediately on one of her teeth. She called me and we decided to trust them and go ahead and get it done. Unfortunately the dentist who did the root canal had no idea of what he was doing. First of all the charge an ungodly amount of money for a root canal. I had one done somewhere else and my co pay with the same insurance as my wife was about $500 less. Long story short the crown they put

I highly recommend. Great dentist and great staff. He is very careful about his work, doesn't recommend unnecessary work and they will work with you on payment plans. I have had some very bad experiences with dentists and Dr. Ericksen is one of the best. You are in good hands with him.
