Ericka performed the majority of my initial appointment to prepare for my root canal, and it went by quickly and efficiently. She's a pleasure to talk to and she clearly explained my case and alongside Dr. West, explained the plan for the root canal My root canal performed by Dr. West was ENTIRELY pain free. I was very comfortable during the whole procedure and could tell that he was being very thorough. It is evident that he takes tremendous pride in his work, and he has a beautiful office and practice to show for it. It's definitely no accident that his team is comprised of the kind, communicative people I had the pleasure of interacting with; dental work/root canals can be stressful, but I never once felt stressed in his team's care. The billing department was simple to work with and handled my insurance seamlessly. Rio called me to assure all my information was correct and to had a quote of my bill in time for me to review before my appointment. She had clear numbers outlined for me and helped me devise a simple payment plan for my treatment. From walking in to leaving, my appointments here have been so smooth and professional. I was originally referred from my dentist at Stadium Dental and am so happy that I scheduled with Dr. West!

Endodontist needed?? No matter who your dentist suggests, call Dr Wittmer and see if your insurance…read moreis covered like mine did with Medicare through United Healthcare. I am so glad Lakewood Endodontics is on the provider list. Couple years ago I had to have a root canal. Now this year I needed another! My Medicare insurance covered both. Your TOOTH HURTS or you would not be searching I bet for an endodontist. That means you want an appointment NOW so to speak. Cool thing this office does is even though they set a date for me I asked to be called if any cancellations or reschedules: they called the next day and I gladly went in a day after first calling. That service is great unlike other medical providers who require you to call in , be on hold, then on hold to see if any openings, and then answering yes or no! Dr Sean Wittner whole office is ten! Upon his inspection, a root canal was needed. Upon the call back I proceeded to be seen even faster! through Endodontist Lakewoods Sean Wittner set an appointment for follow up portion of the root canal too to accomplish in two visits but the first one stopping the pain. Each of my visits, 100% that is, either several minutes before my scheduled time or within 2 minutes I was led back to a room and services commenced immediately (I.e. not waiting for another time period but rather services right away each time). His staff appears as though they love working there and genuinely happy and I told Dr Wittmer that directly as it's so true: it puts a patient in a great mood seeing that. Dr Wittmer explains exactly what he is going to do and shows the visual screen to explain. His quiet voice but stated communications with his assistant Misty in the room also helps reduce any stress too as well as listening to my questions. The rooms look professional also with two toned color schemes and crowns atop doors and windows gives a relaxed professional feeling once you enter the building ( instead of one drab color and blank walls). I hope to use this office the rest of my life if I ever need another root canal as he has performed those twice now perfectly without ever having to correct anything. Give yourself a chance to receive great services too by giving him a call. Address is 10904 Gravelly Lk. Dr Sw, Lakewood Wa 98499 Ph 253 589-3636. ( or go elsewhere and risk a place sitting and waiting, then into a room for sitting again, and wonder who is treating you that day). Hope I helped your desire to give Dr Wittmer a chance to impress you too! Every other office should see how friendly yet efficient this office is. It's worth driving many miles as a sore tooth needing a root canal is bad enough, so offset that with caring professional friendly endodontist.

When my husband's insurance finally came through, I jumped ship to middle class dentist care. NW was kind, made an appointment within two weeks of my reference. They were upfront about cost before my appointment. They examined me with a big window to a squirrel feeder (five stars on that alone), they were kind, spoke to me with respect and intellect. Then they scheduled a root canal that afternoon after the exam. It had calcified due to lack of care from my previous dentist. It didn't hurt. They explained everything. They "loved the challenge." Night and day, the treatment towards me as a human was wildly different from Brite Now. I don't think it's fair when insurance for educators pegs you with . Life is stressful enough when you are poor. I am grateful my husband's insurance got me real medical professionals. I don't feel a thing and got immediate care. Thank you!

I canceled my appointment with her and consulted my dentist turns out, I did not need a root canal. now waiting for my permanent crown to be made. have never felt such a disconnect with a professional as I did with her.

One visit to this dentist was a microcosm of everything that is wrong with the health care industry…read morethese days. I visited from out of town and came to see the dentist as an emergency patient as I was in some discomfort. The visit should have been a consult with the dentist so I could articulate the problem followed by tests and diagnosis. Not here. Off the bat the receptionist presented me with an almost $400 bill for tests that needed to be done before I even got face time with the dentist. My spidey sense told me that something was off here. I should have just walked out. After pushing back on tests that would have been done on teeth that do not even exist I was told "well just pay now and we will refund later". I was therefore forced to pay for a $150 cone beam scan that was not needed nor did the dentist ever even look at! When all was said and done in the end I paid $300 out of pocket for a 5 minute consult with the dentist who told me that she was really not the right dentist to treat me in the first place. Dr Chen needs to understand that money does not grow on trees. I get it. Let's run a battery of tests on patients so we can get them in and out and on to the next. The cost to excessive testing comes from the patients wallet and this is why my visit was a complete waste of time and money. Dr Chen needs to seriously evaluate the patient experience from start to finish and make changes accordingly. She needs to start by figuring out what the patient needs and what tests to run that can further the patients treatment. Doctor was very kind and had a good manner but I would never ever come back

I am an aircraft technician, and have been for 36 years, if there one thing I have learned to appreciate is teamwork.

I was in awe of how efficient and skilled he was in completing the root canal. My experience was no worse than any dentist visit. Don't get me wrong I don't enjoy the dentist, however I was impressed by his expertise. Also talking to coworkers Dr Wittmer is a top referred endodontist in the Lakewood area. Highly recommend!!

From the owner: Upon evaluation, your doctor will examine the health of your teeth. Some signs include:…read more*Tooth ache/pain *Lingering/hypersensitivity to hot/cold *Pain to biting/pressure *Swelling/palpation sensitivity in the gums *Fistula (a small bump on the gum tissue) After examination, your doctor may recommend a root canal to save your tooth. Root Canal Treatment: Inside each tooth is soft tissue called the pulp, or root canal, which contains the nerve of the tooth. During root canal treatment, the inflamed or infected pulp is accessed through the top of your tooth and removed. The canal space is cleaned, dried, and sealed with a root canal filling material. In many cases, a temporary filling is placed in the access opening, requiring the patient to return to their general dentist for a permanent restoration. Root Canal Retreatment: Most teeth that have had root canal treatment can last as long as other natural teeth when cared for properly. Sometimes, a tooth does not heal as expected, or becomes reinfected after successful treatment. In these cases, your endodontist may recommend retreating, or re-doing, the previous root canal. Endodontic Surgery: When root canal treatment/retreatment alone can't save a tooth and your doctor may recommend surgery. Signs include: When pain persist after treatment. In these cases, the area of infection at the end of the root is unable to heal on its own, or a fracture may be present. Your doctor can review surgical options with you
