Meet Dr. Jimmy Wu: A Dental Professional Dedicated to Excellence
Finding the right dentist is important to maintain good oral health. In San Diego, Dr. Jimmy Wu has been providing quality dental care for over two decades. With a reputation for expertise in CEREC technology, he is one of the best in the area. In this blog post, we will take a closer look at his journey, his expertise, and his involvement in professional organizations.
Dr. Wu earned his Bachelor of Science degree from Oregon State University, followed by his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. With a passion for oral healthcare, he decided to open his dental practice in San Diego in 1995. He is known for his expertise in CEREC dentistry and his dedication to continuing education, with over 5,000 hours of training to date.
Dr. Wu's Professional Journey
Dr. Wu's journey as a dental professional began when he partnered with a dental lab to provide patients with high-quality restorative services. In 1999, he acquired the practice of a retiring dentist, which gave him the opportunity to provide comprehensive dental care to his patients. Over time, he built trust with his patients and gained a reputation for exceptional dental work. He believes in providing personalized care for each patient and takes the time to listen to their concerns.
Expertise in CEREC Dentistry
CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) is a revolutionary technology in dental care that allows for the creation of dental prostheses such as crowns, veneers, and bridges in a single visit. Dr. Wu is an expert in CEREC dentistry, having placed over 1,000 veneers and restorations and completed hundreds of reconstruction cases. He is committed to providing his patients with the latest and most efficient dental technology.
CEREC technology not only saves time for patients, but it also saves them money. With traditional dental procedures, patients would have to wait for their restorations to be created in a lab, which could take weeks. With CEREC technology, the restorations are created in the office while the patient waits. This eliminates the need for temporary restorations and multiple appointments, which can be costly.
Professional Organizations Involvement
Dr. Wu is an active member of several professional organizations, such as the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the San Diego County Dental Society. Being a part of these organizations allows him to stay informed about developments in the dental industry and provide the latest techniques and procedures to his patients. He has also served on the Board of Directors for the San Diego County Dental Society and has been a part of various committees within the organization.
Conclusion
Dr. Jimmy Wu is a dental professional who is passionate about providing the highest quality dental care to his patients. With his expertise in CEREC dentistry and dedication to continuing education, he is a trusted figure in the dental community. His involvement in professional organizations further underscores his commitment to staying informed about the latest developments in the industry and providing the best possible care to his patients.
If you are in need of dental care in the San Diego area, consider Dr. Wu's practice. With his personalized care and commitment to excellence, you can be sure that you are in good hands.

It is rare to find such a genuinely kind, caring team that prioritizes the patient as much as the team at Sutra. I went in a little stressed for a dental cleaning and left like I had just been to a spa. Special shout-out to Carina for going above and beyond.. thank you!

This dentistry does an amazing job helping you with all the fears and anxiety you may have coming to the dentist. I had a periodontal disease for over a decade that I struggled to overcome. After three visits (consultation, and oral procedure 2 visits), I finally got my issues under control and in a position to ensure maintenance that will keep me away from making my previous dental mistakes. It's a soothing location, with very peaceful sounds to help you relax. The dental hygienist is very informative and gentle with his work. Doctor Wu has provided me with all the necessary aids that allowed me to ensure I get my dental health back to a positive form. I couldn't thank this place enough after struggling to be consistent at three other dentists. I recommend this completely for anyone that struggles with coming to the dentist.

I have finally found the perfect Dentist! I have had a lifetime of painful dental appointments. No Dentist seemed to be able to numb me properly. Just the thought of having to go to the Dentist scared me to the point of complete fear. One last time I tried to find a Dentist I could trust and would not hurt me. I FOUND HIM IN DOCTOR WU!!!! Trust me, if you have had any dental problems, do yourself a favor and make an appointment even if its just to talk to him. The office is so beautiful and calming. The staff is wonderful and all about your comfort. After my first dental appointment, I actually got out of the chair and hugged him. He is greatest, and having a good dentist is essential.

My experience at Sutra Dental Spa with Dr. Wu and his staff was great! Definitely the best experience I’ve had at the Dentist. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I had my teeth cleaning and 2 fillings done today. My dental hygienist was friendly and knowledgeable about his work and explains well of the procedure and recommendations to better my teeth and gums. The ambience is very relaxing and puts your nerves at ease. In addition they give you a hot/warm neck pillow to help relax and they even have an in house massage therapist who gives gentle arm massages which helps makes the dental experience even more relaxing and comfortable. I highly recommend Sutra Dental Spa

This was the BEST dental experience I’ve ever had. Every single one of the staff members was extremely kind, provided details throughout my appointment, and made the experience as comfortable as possible.
Mark Focareta
The absolute best relaxing environment and unique experience. It’s dentistry reimagined. Forget what you thought a dentist office used to be and be prepared to come as close as possible to enjoying going to the dentist! Who would have thought? Oh! and don’t forget the staff who are patient, friendly, and enjoyable to talk with.

Been a patient for 12 years. I had some major work done today and it was extremely comfortable and professional. The arm massage and the upgraded movie system were top notch. The high-tech dentistry itself, the unique atmosphere, and Dr. Wu's chair-side attentiveness were on full display today. I could not imagine going to another dentist ever.
Jeremy Bibelheimer
It was my first visit with this dental office. Everyone was very professional very caring to my needs. And I was pleasantly surprised when they have someone available to give an arm and hand massage with an aroma therapy pillow. This was the best dental visit I’ve had hands-down.

This is by far the best experience I ever had at the dentist’s office! The staff is SO welcoming and friendly! Every part of my experience made me feel calm and comfortable - from the peaceful water features, warm lavender neck pillow, and caring staff. It doesn’t look or feel like a dentist’s office - and that’s my favorite part! I needed some extra work done today, and not only did I watch Netflix to distract myself, I also enjoyed the most relaxing hand and foot massage! This place does such an amazing job to care for your teeth and you general well-being. It had been awhile since I had some dental work done, and I forgot to load on the chapstick before I laid down. The first thing they did was apply a generous coat so my lips wouldn’t get dried out! I felt instant relief knowing they’ve thought of every little detail! They know being at the dentist can be uncomfortable and they do everything in their power to provide the best experience possible! I am so grateful to Dr. Woo and his amazing staff!

I really enjoyed my dental experience here at Sutra Dental Spa, and that is saying a lot! Most dental offices I have been to in the past gives me the cringe just thinking about it. From the moment I stepped through the door to end of the visit, I'm impressed by the level of professionalism and friendliness of the staff. The warm neck pillow, the massage, and streaming Netflix made my experience relaxing. I like to personally thank everyone, and would highly recommend Sutra Dental Spa to anyone asking! Lee Truong

Excellent professionals! High tech, and very clean place. Love the deco...very relaxing. Doesn't feel like a regular dentist. It is very polished. The staff are very friendly and accommodating.They will make you feel comfortable. I have been going there since 2005, and I have no complaints so far. They take care of me pretty well. My insurance pretty much covers most of the dental expenses.
Leah Cancino
They are very friendly and meticulous with their cleaning. I recommend this place!

Wonderful, relaxing environment where you can always count on the friendly, warm and professional staff to make your visit top notch. A gem of a dental practice! Can’t imagine going anywhere else.
David R Williams
If you’re looking for a new Dentist office ... Stop looking and go here . If you’re going to this Dentist office you’re not looking for a new one . Peaceful and relaxing or generally not words used when talking about dental work yet Peaceful and relaxing was my experience today while receiving 2 new crowns. I Have nothing but good to say about the spa which includes the receptionists , hygienists and Dr Wu Thankyou Sutra Dental .. I’ll be back :-)
April Game
I am very afraid of dentists and dental work. Dr. Wu and his staff have set up an environment that will make the biggest scaredy cat feel just fine. Applause. I wont go anywhere else and I live in Orange County now.
Susan Cooper
WOW! Amazing dentist, staff and office. I was sad that my dentist of 36 years retired, but now, I wish he had retired sooner! I went to Dr. Wu today for the first time and I feel like I need to tell everyone I know to go there. It is not just the friendly staff, or the wonderful hand, arm and shoulder massage I received from Bernadette while the very knowledgeable, easy going Dr. Wu and assistants worked on my teeth; it was the atmosphere and technology that were amazing. I thought I had walked into a spa: soothing music balanced with the babbling water falling from the large water feature in the lobby and smaller wall waterfalls in each room, high open beam ceilings, soothing colors on the walls (no sterile white walls) and hardly any dental equipment visible (it's hidden in cabinets). But let's talk about the equipment: high tech! I broke my tooth and was expecting to go in today to get a mold made for a crown and then fitted with an uncomfortable temporary crown until the permanent one came in and then have to go back while they manipulated the permanent one to fit. We've all been there. Not at Jimmy Wu's! In two hours I walked out with my permanent crown that they made onsite and it fit like a glove the first time they put it on. It is all done with 3D cameras and printers. Amazing! I never expected to be so excited about a dentist visit! And by the way, if you don't want a massage (although I don't know why you wouldn't because Bernadette is great!), you can watch your favorite movie or show on Netflix! I don't get "Wowed" very often, but WOW! They are the best!!!
