About Us
A big part of successful dental care is empowering patients to take their oral health into their own hands. This takes intentional effort and time for patient education, which is something we always put effort into. You can expect our friendly team to walk you through your treatment plans, and explain how we’ve arrived at a tailored treatment plan designed for you. We won’t just work for you, we’ll work with you.
Authenticity and Compassion
Meet Dr. Wu
When he was a teenager, Dr. Wu had braces and didn’t floss. When he got his braces removed, he was told that he had seven cavities. Nobody took the time to answer his questions about the reasons behind the diagnosis, which left him confused and discouraged. Because of his experience, he always takes the time to create thorough documentation with intraoral pictures, so he can help his patients gain deeper insight into their diagnoses and treatment options. No matter what you are coming in for, Dr. Wu is here to help with no judgment.
Dr. Wu received his dental degree for the University of the Pacific, one of the most prestigious dental schools on the west coast, in 2017. After graduating, he and his best friend moved to the Midwest to work and hone his skills, but he always knew he would return home to serve his community.
Aside from changing the lives of his patients, Dr. Wu’s biggest passion is traveling to new places and experiencing different cultures and foods. He also enjoys spending time outdoors, going to concerts, trying new restaurants, and going hiking with his beloved Corgi, Mocha.

What to expect
PATIENT EXPERIENCE
When you first walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by our comfortable environment and friendly team. You’ll be invited to sit down and relax as you fill out any new patient forms prior to your appointment. Once those are complete and your hygienist is ready for you, we’ll invite you back into one of our operatories.
You’ll receive a cleaning, comprehensive exam, x-rays, and Dr. Wu will sit down with you to discuss the results. If everything looks good, you’ll be able to schedule your next appointment in the front office. If anything needs extra attention, Dr. Wu will explain the results and take time to address any questions or concerns you might have, and he will describe any further treatment recommendations.
