The wife of…read moreone of my friends is a dental hygienist who has temped with Dr. Erickson in the past, and she highly recommended his practice. Who would know better than another professional, I thought, so I gave them a try. Everything about Dr. Erickson's practice exudes professionalism and patient-centered care. The words which best describe my experiences with them are friendly, efficient, and compassionate. The office is bright and welcoming, the office staff courteous and pleasant, and the equipment state-of-the-art. It had been a few years since my last cleaning, so I required two visits to get all the tough stuff off my teeth. Nobody was condescending or judgemental that I had avoided the dentist for so long. Both hygienists who performed the scaling and debridement were as gentle and quick as the procedures would allow, and my routine follow-up care was even easier. I also needed a large filling in a cracked rear tooth repaired. Rather than putting a full crown over the tooth, Dr. Erickson installed a four-cusp onlay, a conservative approach which maintains as much of the healthy native tooth structure as possible while strengthening the repair. I explained my general apprehension towards dental work, and Dr. Erickson and his staff took the time to explain and discuss the procedure, options, and how discomfort could be reduced. When I experienced some breakthrough pain during the tooth preparation, Dr. Erickson promptly stopped the procedure to administer more anesthetic directly below the tooth. He was meticulous in both the preparation and fitting of the final restoration. The final result is a tooth that works and feels better than it has in a decade. I would highly recommend Dr. Erickson's dental practice for their expertise, dedication, thoroughness, and compassion.

I grew up in an era of terrifying and painful dentistry. I have been in this area for thirty years…read moreand I finally settled on them about ten years ago. Would not change for the world. First, let's just say this office puts you at ease, and Dr. Erickson does not tolerate the idea of causing pain. I have many complex issues and he went out of his way to find a way to take care of my teeth without causing me pain. He took the time and the care. He and his staff are ALWAYS getting up to date education, so I am confident always that he and his staff will take care of my needs as well, if not better, than others. But beyond that? They make me laugh. They have a relaxed atmosphere and connect with their patients/clients professionally and personally--without crossing lines. Competence, compassion, humor, professionalism. GOOD people. GREAT care. Try them first if you are new in town. Truly.

My husband had a terrible experience at this dental office. This is his review:…read more I have never reviewed a place--- regardless of how bad an experience was, but this terrible experience warranted one. I have been going to this office for quite some time now. Until today. This review is my way to warn any person from using this place for their night guard services. I hope to save you time and money. Teeth grinding at night, comes with many issues already. And for a "dental office" to play these kinds of tricks is awful. To start off, I had a night guard that I used for many years (from another dentist). Key words many years... I needed a new one, so I went to the office and they took the measurements. I picked up this guard 2 months ago. It was fine for the first month, then it started getting slightly cloudy. I let this go (as I thought it was normal). Last week, I woke up and noticed that my grinding had broken a piece of the plastic on the guard. I called the office and made an appointment. Since the whole point in these is to help from grinding teeth, you would think that the plastic can withstand that. Once I got to the office I was told that this is not material they use, and that I may have brought my "old one." First off, they tried to make me feel dumb, as if I would mistakenly bring an old one, or one from "another place". I showed them a picture of the one from them, the day I picked it up.... Which was a pricey guard as is. They blamed it on the discoloration, and stated that it was not theirs. I can assure you, that it was the one I picked up from them. I have no time to run around trying to get night guards from dentists. Without even looking at the guard and immediately stating it didn't match the picture I had, they weren't hesitant to attempt to make me feel as if I did something wrong. I have shown another dentist a picture of the two, and they agreed that it was clearly the same bite marks on both. I even took a picture of the material they use and will call the manufacture to have them compare it for even further proof. The point in my review here is to save you all the hassle and money of being ripped off by this place. They attempted to offer me half off a new one, but I refused. I am happy to pay double the price at this other dentist, because I can sleep with a piece of mind knowing I have a quality night guard. All please be aware...

My dental office for two years in Manchester…read more.. It was as good an experience as you can get from a dentist, for sure. Dr. Lovelace and Dr. Kasprzak (yep, that's how you spell it) are both very good dentists that did their work right the first time around. They've also got a great team of hygenists who are as friendly as they are professional. Wait times were always at a minimum, and even so, they have a ton of magazines. I found a recipe i liked in one of them, and the office lady was nice enough to make a copy for me :). Most importantly, this is the place in Manchester to go for a dentist. Even though their office is in the deteroriating Main Street section of town, their business is alive and flourishing. Now if only they would invent an automatic flossing machine.
