A Loyal and Dedicated Team
Loyalty is very important to St. Joseph cosmetic dentist Dr. Sven Erickson, and he has carefully hand-picked a team of dynamic and caring dental professionals who have been the backbone of his practice for many years. One team member has been with Dr. Erickson since the practice opened in 1989, and another has been with him for more than 17 years.
This loyalty has helped our dental team become a tight-knit family, and this family atmosphere translates into a better experience for you. When you return to our office for your regular check-ups, you will be working with dental professionals who have an intimate knowledge of your oral health history. This helps us build stronger relationships with you and your family, and it results in higher quality dental care.
An Environmentally Conscious and Philanthropic Practice
Dr. Erickson is committed to making Modern Dentistry Associates an environmentally conscious and civic-minded practice. He is always looking for ways to make our office more “green.” This has led to the implementation of large-scale recycling programs, energy-efficient lighting, and computerized records to reduce our energy consumption and our overall waste output. Dr. Erickson also works with suppliers to minimize packaging, and whenever possible, he will request that they use the most environmentally friendly packing materials for shipments.
In addition, as a practicing Buddhist, Dr. Erickson is a proud to support the arts and programs which promote the inherent worth and dignity of all sentient creatures to foster a more compassionate and peaceful society.
