Doctor Greg Wetterhus on Tooth Extractions

Patients call our office all the time with toothaches and problems, and it's great that we can help them out. When there's a tooth that's too far gone that we can't save anymore, even with a root canal, it's a great opportunity for ... extracted, bone grafted, and then place an implant in the future. We have patients that need teeth removed, and there's cases where we can get a diagnostic model all put together and get the case ready for whatever prosthesis, whatever needs to be put on it. We do dental implants and then we place crowns or bridges and sometimes dentures on these implants that we place in patients' mouths.

  • Protect the health of your other teeth and gums
  • Prevent the need for additional dental work and expense
  • Stop your pain so you feel better
  • Make room for dentures or dental implants

We offer sedation if needed! Call us today to schedule an appointment: 253-999-9419. We’re located at 3920 10th St. SE, not far from Kaiser Permanente Puyallup Medical Center.

Count on Our Team For Comfortable Care

At Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry, we will always try to save a tooth if possible. We can place a new CEREC crown (made right in our office) on a damaged tooth or repair a diseased tooth using a root canal procedure. However, if tooth removal is necessary to protect your oral health, we can perform all extractions right here – both for regular teeth and for wisdom teeth, or “third molars.”

We want you to be as comfortable as possible during your procedure. You’ll have your choice of sedation options to help you relax. We offer inhaled sedation using laughing gas and oral conscious sedation with a prescribed pill you’ll take ahead of your procedure. Both sedation methods are great at relieving dental anxiety and helping calm your nerves.

We also offer several comforting amenities that will help you feel right at home. Feel free to ask for a soft pillow or warm blanket to help you relax. Your comfort is our top priority at Smith & Wetterhus Dentistry.

Complete Your Smile With Tooth Replacement Options

After your tooth is extracted, it is best to replace it to keep your remaining teeth from shifting. Below are a few replacement options:

  • Implant Crown – We can place an implant where your tooth was, then attach a new CEREC crown on top.
  • Fixed Bridge – This type of bridge will replace one or more missing teeth, anchoring on either end to your natural teeth.
  • Implant Bridge – Using two or more implants, we can replace several teeth in a row.
  • Dentures – Partial dentures will work if you have enough healthy teeth remaining, or full dentures can replace all your teeth on one or both arches.

If you need Puyallup tooth removal, you’re in the right place. Call us today at 253-999-9419 to schedule your appointment. You can also make an appointment .

Commonly Asked Questions About Tooth Removal/Extractions

How much does a tooth removal cost?

It is not easy to quote a price for a tooth extraction without first seeing the tooth in question. Various factors can come into play that would change the total cost of your tooth removal. If you suspect you need a tooth removed, we recommend you schedule an exam so that we can determine the exact procedure needed and give you an accurate price.

How long does it take a tooth removal to heal?

Recovery times can vary, but healing time is approximately seven to 10 days for most extractions. You play a big role in your healing by the types of foods you eat and your activity level while you heal. The closer you follow the guidelines we give you for your aftercare, the shorter your healing time will be.

Does a tooth removal hurt?

You can feel confident our experienced dental team will do all we can to make sure your tooth removal is as comfortable as possible. We’ll take a set of X-rays or 3-D images to help us plan your procedure, then we’ll use an anesthetic to ensure the area we’re working on is fully numb. We even have laughing gas and oral sedation to eliminate your dental anxiety and help you relax.
