Services
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry at Walnut Creek Laser Dentistry addresses aesthetic concerns like discoloration, misalignment, and gaps. Services include teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and Invisalign, tailored to enhance confidence and facial harmony. Our approach combines artistic precision with durable materials for natural-looking results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants restore missing teeth with permanent, natural-feeling solutions. Using titanium posts anchored in the jawbone, we provide crowns, bridges, or dentures that improve chewing ability and prevent bone loss. Implants offer long-term stability and aesthetics.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry enables precise, minimally invasive treatments for gum disease, cavity detection, and tissue reshaping. Benefits include reduced discomfort, faster healing, and enhanced accuracy compared to traditional methods, ensuring optimal patient outcomes.
Emergency Care
Emergency dental services address acute issues like pain, infections, or trauma. Our team provides prompt care to alleviate discomfort and prevent complications, ensuring timely solutions for unexpected oral health crises.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening removes stains caused by food, drinks, or aging. In-office and take-home options use high-grade bleaching agents to achieve brighter smiles safely, with results lasting up to two years with proper care.

Report
After my first couple of visits, very thorough records of each tooth and gum showing the progression of their health are kept and shown at later appointments. Advice of how to further care for is given and from greeting to examination to treatment is wonderfully executed. They are good people through and through.

Today was my first time coming to Dr. Erickson. I had the best experience. Janan the receptionist was nice and helpful. Michelle was so thorough and explained everything. Dr. Erickson was so knowledgeable. Overall, I have never felt more safe and taken care of in another dentist chair in my life, that sense of security and trust is hard to come by these days. I live a bit far away but it is definitely worth the drive. I will be coming here for years to come. Thank you to the entire team!

Dr. Eriksen is a down to earth dentist that genuinely cares for his patients. The office staff is extremely nice and helpful. I don't love going to the dentist but this office melts away my anxiety. I cannot recommend this office enough - it's wonderful!

Been a while and I needed a new dentist. I like this guy. No b.s., no guilt trips (had a few of those from ex-dentists, which is why they're my ex-dentists), just "we need to do x, y, and z, here's a plan for x, y, and z, let's get to it." And he's a laugh riot beyond that, too. Good music on the overheads, a good hygienist who gets it done efficiently. Redirecting my wife here on the basis of just my first couple of visits as she needs a new one as well.

I have been going to Dr. Eriksen for over 10 years. The care I have received is un-parralled in my opinion. I moved out of the area 4 years ago and tried different new dentists in my area. Not one came close to giving me the genuine care I received at Northgate so I now find myself driving 2 hours for their care. The hygienists are amazing! When you leave their chair, you know you teeth are clean. This sounds very cliche, but they truly do care about your teeth and overall oral health.
