Not many people can keep all their natural teeth in place – much less in good shape – without routine checkups from a skilled dentist. Regular dental cleanings and exams at Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry form the foundation for a beautiful and healthy smile.

After your cleaning, either Dr. Smith or Dr. Wetterhus will review your X-rays and perform a complete dental exam to check for any problems.

I don’t like going to the dentist but these guys make it better. Everyone is very friendly and I’m in and out of cleanings fast but not rushed. They are taking COVID precautions and make me feel safe about that. I love these guys and will continue to go there as long as my insurance allows.
It’s always a great experience at Hartland Dental. Office staff, hygienists are professional every step of the way. Dr. Dan, is non judgmental congenial, caring and will explain every procedure if necessary. Pleased to be his patient for over 20 years.
Dr. Smith and Dr. Wetterhus have both worked on my teeth. Both the doctors and the staff are amazing. They treat their patients how they want to be treated. Gentle hands and excellent communication. As someone who has had some bad dental experiences in the past with other dentists, it is a huge relief to have found these wonderful caring people. Highly recommended!!
I have been going to Dr Smith for 12.5 years and wouldn’t ever consider anyone else. The staff is amazing and take the time to review your charts. Listen to your concerns and help o find solutions.
Best dental team ever. Everyone has a great attitude. Dr. Smith is amazing. Professional, caring, thorough. Highly recommended; you’re in excellent hands here!
Absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Every single interaction from check in and billing, to the dental assistants and hygienists to the dentists. Everyone is an absolute gem and completely concerned about your comfort, completely open about added costs and I’ve never waited even five minutes to be called back from the waiting room. I’ve had a lifetime of cavities and fillings so I’m quite familiar with the perils of the dentist office. They do a fantastic job keeping my smile as good as they can given my sugar addiction and horrible flossing habits. I would not change a thing here
Prior to my visit today, I’ve neglected my dental health, and was in need of an immediate visit. While looking online for a dentist in the area, I stumbled upon this office and tried to make an appointment. To my surprise they were able to fit me in this morning. I’ve had terrible experiences in the past with dentists and have never been able to find one that I actually felt welcome in. Dr. Smith explained things to me in a way that actually made sense, while comforting and reassuring me. While waiting, one of the office ladies even called my insurance to see what we could get covered so I would know ahead of time. Everyone that I interacted with went well above what they *needed* to do, in order to help me as much as possible, and for that I thank them. After today, I now have a dentist office I want to stay with.
Great first visit! Very friendly Dr. and staff. Seemed like a happy group which usually makes for happy patients. Exam was thorough and treatment follow up visits were efficently scheduled. Nice office and clean exam room. Very gentle with my mouth and teeth too!
I cannot say enough amazing things about this group of people! From the girls at the front desk, to the dental assistants, and of course the dentists. Everyone I know, knows how anxious I am about any dental work but this place makes me feel immediately at ease and I honestly look forward to coming back. On a regular basis! Not just when something starts hurting haha!
Best Dentistry Office in Washington The staff is an amazing 👏, they make sure your comfortable, they listen to your concerns, and the atmosphere is enjoyable 😉! You can tell they like their working environment 😀!
Most of the time, a regular dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. During this time, our team will take a set of X-rays if needed, thoroughly clean and polish all your teeth, and perform a complete dental exam. If you need additional work, such as a tooth filling or fluoride treatment, we’ll let you know and advise you of the extra time required.
We recommend getting your teeth cleaned and examined every six months. Biannual visits will keep your teeth and gums in good shape. It will also give your dentist a chance to discover any problems while they are small and easily treatable. Plus, exams give us a good opportunity to discuss your smile challenges and goals with you.
You should schedule a dental cleaning and exam every six months as part of your healthy lifestyle. That’s because your oral hygiene routine at home is not enough to prevent harmful bacteria from causing cavities, gum disease, and other problems. Only a hygienist and dentist have the training and proper equipment to remove plaque buildup and detect oral health threats that you can’t see when you look in the mirror.
