Dr. Greg Wetterhus Is Committed to Excellent Care

Dr. Greg Wetterhus was born and raised in Puyallup and attended Puyallup High School. He earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from Washington State University, then received his dental degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1991.

Dr. Wetterhus worked in Federal Way from 1991 to 1993 before joining Dr. Dan Smith’s practice in 1994. Dr. Smith had been considering going back to graduate school but decided to partner with Dr. Wetterhus. It couldn’t have worked out better, as Dr. Wetterhus had always wanted to come back to practice dentistry in his hometown.

Dr. Wetterhus says the most rewarding part of his job is planning and placing dental implants. He loves getting our team involved as they truly excel in their knowledge of the entire implant process. He also likes working on cosmetic and full-mouth reconstruction cases. He enjoys planning out the treatment using advanced technology like our CT scanner, creating models, and then implementing the treatment for the benefit of our patients.

Dr. Wetterhus wants our patients to know that we are, and will always be, a family practice built around a community. We will not sell out to corporate dentistry. We run a very conservative practice based on sound dental principles, and we will always try to provide the best technology that our industry has to offer. His hard work pays off – Dr. Wetterhus was awarded Seattle Met magazine’s Top Dentist for 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

When he is not helping to create beautiful smiles, Dr. Wetterhus enjoys spending time with his family. He is married and has two children and one grandchild. He recently purchased a beach house on Hood Canal, where he spends his weekends fishing and relaxing.
