Im in the process of getting implants Dr. Ericksen has been fantastic. He met me on his day off to address a loose stitch that was bleeding. No questions asked. He did the resuture by himself. I was impressed.

From Dr Erickson to the staff, these guys are the best. I had another dentist and they wouldn't see me in an emergency after 3 phone calls. I was referred to CORE by a good friend and they got me in fast and now they are doing all my dental.
