When the jaws or airway are underdeveloped, it can impact breathing and sleep quality—sometimes leading to issues like snoring, fatigue, or sleep apnea. Crowded or misaligned teeth may also be signs of an underlying airway concern rather than just a cosmetic issue. At our practice, we understand that restful sleep and proper breathing are vital to your well-being. Through screening and working with other airway focused specialists, we address the oral factors that affect sleep and systemic health—helping you breathe easier, sleep deeper, and feel restored.

There are several types of bridges.  You and your dentist will discuss the best options for your particular case.  The “traditional bridge” is the most popular type and is usually made of porcelain fused to metal.  This type of bridge consists of two crowns that go over two anchoring teeth (abutment teeth) and are attached to pontics (artificial teeth), filling the gap created by one or more missing teeth.  Dental bridges are highly durable and will last many years; however, they may need replacement or need to be re-cemented due to normal wear. Reasons for a fixed bridge: Fill space of missing teeth. Maintain facial shape. Prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position. Restore chewing and speaking ability. Restore your smile. Upgrade from a removable partial denture to a permanent dental appliance. What does getting a fixed bridge involve? Getting a bridge usually requires two or more visits.  While the teeth are numb, the two anchoring teeth are prepared by removing a portion of enamel to allow for a crown.  Next, a highly accurate impression (mold) is made which will be sent to a dental laboratory where the bridge will be fabricated.  In addition, a temporary bridge will be made and worn for several weeks until your next appointment. At the second visit, your permanent bridge will be carefully checked, adjusted, and cemented to achieve a proper fit.  Occasionally your dentist may only temporarily cement the bridge, allowing your teeth and tissue time to get used to the new bridge.  The new bridge will be permanently cemented at a later time. You will receive care instructions at the conclusion of the procedure.  Proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new, permanent bridge.

Luckily, there are CEREC crowns, which are done in a single visit at your dentist's office. This is done by using advanced CAD/CAM technology to image the tooth and create a permanent crown restoration that is ready within a couple hours. Once it has been imaged and milled it is ready to be placed on your existing tooth right away. It is easy, fast can be made in house to match existing teeth perfectly and very convenient, especially because you don't have to go through messy impressions and wait 2-3 weeks with several visits to complete the process.  There are multiple benefits to choosing CEREC crowns, beginning with having the process done quickly.    Most appointments are completed in 2 hours  No messy impressions of your tooth  No uncomfortable temporary crowns for 2-3 weeks.  Digital impressions are more comfortable and painless than traditional impressions  No bulky porcelain, black lines or metal are used for these crowns  Fewer dental visits  More natural tooth structure is preserved    Back Connect With Us Ready to come in for an appointment?

What is Periodontal (Gum) Disease? --> The term “periodontal” means “around the tooth.”  Periodontal disease (also known as periodontitis and gum disease) is a common inflammatory condition that affects the supporting and surrounding soft tissues of the tooth, eventually affecting the jawbone itself in the disease’s most advanced stages. Periodontal disease is most often preceded by gingivitis which is a bacterial infection of the gum tissue.  A bacterial infection affects the gums when the toxins contained in plaque begin to irritate and inflame the gum tissues.  Once this bacterial infection colonizes in the gum pockets between the teeth, it becomes much more difficult to remove and treat.  Periodontal disease is a progressive condition that eventually leads to the destruction of the connective tissue and jawbone.  If left untreated, it can cause shifting teeth, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss.  Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults in the developed world and should always be promptly treated. Types of Periodontal Disease When left untreated, gingivitis (mild gum inflammation) can spread to below the gum line.  When the gums become irritated by the toxins contained in plaque, a chronic inflammatory response causes the body to break down and destroy its own bone and soft tissue.  There may be little or no symptoms as periodontal disease causes the teeth to separate from the infected gum tissue.  Deepening pockets between the gums and teeth are generally indicative that soft tissue and bone is being destroyed by periodontal disease. Here are some of the most common types of periodontal disease: Chronic periodontitis – Inflammation within supporting tissues cause deep pockets and gum recession.  It may appear the teeth are lengthening, but in actuality, the gums (gingiva) are receding.  This is the most common form of periodontal disease and is characterized by progressive loss of attachment, interspersed with periods of rapid progression. Aggressive periodontitis – This form of gum disease occurs in an otherwise clinically healthy individual.  It is characterized by rapid loss of gum attachment, chronic bone destruction and familial aggregation. Necrotizing periodontitis – This form of periodontal disease most often occurs in individuals suffering from systemic conditions such as HIV, immunosuppression and malnutrition.  Necrosis (tissue death) occurs in the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and gingival tissues. Periodontitis caused by systemic disease – This form of gum disease often begins at an early age.  Medical condition such as respiratory disease, diabetes and heart disease are common cofactors. Treatment for Periodontal Disease There are many surgical and nonsurgical treatments the periodontist may choose to perform, depending upon the exact condition of the teeth, gums and jawbone.  A complete periodontal exam of the mouth will be done before any treatment is performed or recommended. Here are some of the more common treatments for periodontal disease: Scaling and root planing – In order to preserve the health of the gum tissue, the bacteria and calculus (tartar) which initially caused the infection, must be removed.  The gum pockets will be cleaned and treated with antibiotics as necessary to help alleviate the infection.  A prescription mouthwash may be incorporated into daily cleaning routines. Tissue regeneration – When the bone and gum tissues have been destroyed, regrowth can be actively encouraged using grafting procedures.  A membrane may be inserted into the affected areas to assist in the regeneration process. Pocket elimination surgery – Pocket elimination surgery (also known as flap surgery) is a surgical treatment which can be performed to reduce the pocket size between the teeth and gums.  Surgery on the jawbone is another option which serves to eliminate indentations in the bone which foster the colonization of bacteria. Dental implants – When teeth have been lost due to periodontal disease, the aesthetics and functionality of the mouth can be restored by implanting prosthetic teeth into the jawbone.  Tissue regeneration procedures may be required prior to the placement of a dental implant in order to strengthen the bone.

Dental implants are artificial roots and teeth (usually titanium) that are surgically placed into the upper or lower jaw bone by a dentist or Periodontist - a specialist of the gums and supporting bone.  The teeth attached to implants are very natural looking and often enhance or restore a patient’s smile! Dental implants are strong and durable and will last many years.  On occasion, they will have to be re-tightened or replaced due to normal wear. Reasons for dental implants: Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth. Resolve joint pain or bite problems caused by teeth shifting into missing tooth space. Restore a patient’s confident smile. Restore chewing, speech, and digestion. Restore or enhance facial tissues. Support a bridge or denture, making it more secure and comfortable. What does getting dental implants involve? The process of getting implants requires a number of visits over several months. X-rays and impressions (molds) are taken of the jaw and teeth to determine bone, gum tissue, and spacing available for an implant.  While the area is numb, the implant will be surgically placed into the bone and allowed to heal and integrate itself for up to six months.   Depending on the type of implant, a second surgery may be required in order to place the “post” that will hold the artificial tooth in place.  With other implants the post and anchor are already attached and placed at the same time. After several weeks of healing the artificial teeth are made and fitted to the post portion of the anchor.  Because several fittings may be required, this step may take one to two months to complete.  After a healing period, the artificial teeth are securely attached to the implant, providing excellent stability and comfort to the patient. You will receive care instructions when your treatment is completed.  Good oral hygiene and eating habits, alongside regular dental visits, will aid in the life of your new implant.

Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings ( periodontal cleanings ), usually four times a year.  At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy.  Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line. In addition to your periodontal cleaning and evaluation, your appointment will usually include: Examination of diagnostic x-rays (radiographs): Essential for detection of decay, tumors, cysts, and bone loss.X-rays also help determine tooth and root positions. Examination of existing restorations: Check current fillings, crowns, etc. Examination of tooth decay: Check all tooth surfaces for decay. Oral cancer screening: Check the face, neck, lips, tongue, throat, cheek tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer. Oral hygiene recommendations: Review and recommend oral hygiene aids as needed. (Electric toothbrushes, special periodontal brushes, fluorides, rinses, etc.) Teeth polishing: Remove stain and plaque that is not otherwise removed during tooth brushing and scaling. Good oral hygiene practices and periodontal cleanings are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control!

Your dentist and dental hygienist will evaluate for periodontal disease and recommend the appropriate treatment. Periodontal disease progresses as the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and gums gets filled with bacteria, plaque, and tartar, causing irritation to the surrounding tissues.  When these irritants remain in the pocket space, they can cause damage to the gums and eventually, the bone that supports the teeth! If the disease is caught in the early stages of gingivitis , and no damage has been done, one to two regular cleanings will be recommended.  You will also be given instructions on improving your daily oral hygiene habits and having regular dental cleanings. If the disease has progressed to more advanced stages, a special periodontal cleaning called scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) will be recommended.  It is usually done one quadrant of the mouth at a time while the area is numb.  In this procedure, tartar, plaque, and toxins are removed from above and below the gum line ( scaling ) and rough spots on root surfaces are made smooth ( planing ).  This procedure helps gum tissue to heal and pockets to shrink.  Medications, special medicated mouth rinses, and an electric tooth brush may be recommended to help control infection and healing. If the pockets do not heal after scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery may be needed to reduce pocket depths, making teeth easier to clean.  Your dentist may also recommend that you see a periodontist (specialist of the gums and supporting bone).

Their energy and joy light up every day, and I’m deeply grateful for each one of them. Together, they make a positive and meaningful impact—not only in the lives of our patients but also in our community and within their own families." -  Dr. Jennifer Wu         Christine Patient Care Coordinator Meet Christine -The One Who Remembers Your Name (and Your Story) Christine's favorite part of working here? Getting to know patients and hearing their stories. She genuinely lights up when someone walks through the door, and that warmth is the first thing people feel when they call or visit. Outside the office, she's juggling creative projects for her Etsy business, gaming with friends, and crafting—basically anything that lets her make something cool or have a good laugh. Fair warning: if you mention tiramisu around her, prepare for a passionate conversation about the perfect ratio of creamy to sweet. The team loves her because she brings that same kindness and helpfulness to everything she does. She's the kind of person who makes everyone feel welcome, whether you're a patient calling with questions or a coworker needing support. When she's not here, you'll find her crafting, listening to music, or leveling up in her latest game—basically living her best creative life. Alessandro Patient Care Coordinator Here’s Alessandro – Making Patients Feel Like VIPs, One Smile at a Time Need a good laugh or a warm welcome? Alessandro’s your guy. As our Patient Care Coordinator, his favorite part of the job is chatting with patients, sharing smiles, and making sure everyone feels right at home. He’s known for giving his full attention, a welcoming vibe, and the kind of positive energy that sticks with you long after your visit. One of his most memorable moments? Helping a patient from the parking lot all the way into the office—just one example of the kind of thoughtful care he brings to every day. When he’s off the clock, you’ll find him under the hood working on his cars or on the hunt for the next trendy food or drink spot (bonus points if it’s something new and bold). A fun fact: Alessandro is very competitive—but only in the best way. Whether it's fine-tuning a patient experience or quoting Michael Jordan's “Limits, like fears, are often just an illusion,” he’s all about leveling up and pushing past boundaries—with a smile, of course. Deja Insurance Coordinator Meet Deja – Insurance Coordinator Extraordinaire When she’s not expertly navigating the world of insurance, Deja is probably catching up with friends over a good cup of iced coffee or tracking down the city’s best pastries. A true Netflix connoisseur, she unwinds with K-dramas, true crime documentaries, or a good book. Outside the office, Deja is happiest soaking up nature on a coastal escape, going camping, or spending quality time with her family. Friendly, organized, and always ready with a chocolate chip cookie recommendation—Deja brings warmth and precision to everything she does. Sophia Dental Hygienist  Say Hi to Sophia -  Our Smile Whisperer A Seattle native, Sophia’s journey into dentistry started at age 16 when braces turned  her casual interest in teeth into a full-blown obsession with perfect  smiles. A college intro to dentistry class sealed the deal—she fell in  love with the artistry behind it all. From humble beginnings as an intern, Sophia worked her way through  every corner of the dental office—front desk, assisting, and  everything in between—before discovering her true calling as a  hygienist. Today, she brings all that experience (and then some!) to  make every patient feel at ease the moment they sit in her chair.  Comfort is her superpower! When she’s not busy polishing pearly whites, you’ll likely find Sophia  in a hot yoga or Pilates class, cooking up something delicious,  traveling, binging K-dramas, or checking out the latest buzzy  restaurant in town. Either way, she’s always moving, always  smiling, and always ready to make your dental visit feel like a spa  day for your teeth. Emily Dental Hygienist Say Hello to Emily — Our Wellness-Minded Hygienist Emily is passionate about helping patients understand the connection between oral health and overall wellness. Her favorite part of being a hygienist is patient education—she loves showing people how small changes in their daily habits can make a big difference. Nothing makes her happier than seeing a patient’s face light up when something clicks, and even more so when she sees their progress at future visits. As Emily likes to say, “It’s the little things that count.” If Emily weren’t such a natural in dental hygiene, she could easily see herself as an interior designer or professor—careers that reflect both her creativity and love of teaching. Outside the office, she enjoys spending time with family, playing tennis, painting, baking, and making music. And if she could switch roles with anyone in the office for a day, she’d choose Dr. Wu—just to see what it would be like to step into the dentist’s shoes she once considered herself. Julianne Dental Hygienist Meet Julianne – The One Who Makes You Actually Look Forward to Your Checkup Julianne's favorite part of her job says it all: building real connections with patients and helping them understand how their mouth affects their whole life. She's the person who genuinely gets excited about your wellness journey and makes sure you leave feeling informed and cared for. If dentistry hadn't worked out, you'd probably find her as a food blogger documenting hidden gem restaurants and new culinary adventures—she's obsessed with good food, good experiences, and saying yes to spontaneous weekend trips with her dog Julius. You'll notice she's bubbly and funny the moment you meet her, but there's real thoughtfulness underneath. She pays attention to the small things that matter—making sure every patient feels comfortable and stress-free, and she's got this gift for building genuine relationships that makes the whole team run smoothly. Her philosophy is simple: you only live once, so why not make it delicious and connected to good people? Kasey Dental Assistant Meet Kasey - The One With Royal Blood (No, Really) Kasey's love of dentistry started early—she always looked forward to dental visits more than doctor ones, and when braces entered the picture, her curiosity turned into a calling. Now she's in the thick of it, learning hands-on every day and genuinely loving that she gets to help patients walk away with healthier smiles. If dentistry hadn't found her, she'd probably be in a beauty salon—because making people look and feel their best has always been her thing. Here's the fun part: Kasey is part Hawaiian and descended from the royal bloodline of King Kamehameha, the founder of Hawaii. Yes, really. When she's not channeling royal energy in the office, you'll find her hunting down the best new cafes in town, sipping an iced chai latte with whole milk, organizing things for fun (yes, she watches organization videos for pleasure), or spending Sunday mornings at church and the rest of the weekend with her people. She says her mom taught her resilience and hard work—and honestly, it shows. James Dental Assistant Meet James - The One Who Keeps Everyone Calm. James came to dentistry through an unexpected door. He was given the opportunity to learn from the ground up, and it turns out, he was a natural.

I have been with Dr. Wu for 2 years. One day couple years ago, I asked someone that I am looking for a good dentist and the store owner said I will tell you the best dentist. He recommended Dr. Wu,Jennifer in Sunnyvale, Ca. Dr. Wu has been also his dentist for years he said. Few month later I had oral surgery and the oral surgeon also recommended Dr. Wu, jennifer as my Primary Dentist. I was presently surprised by this coincident. I felt lucky and blessed to have met Dr. Wu as my Dentist. :O) Happy Patient JH. Jan. 18, 2024 Richard Bruce Newman Sunnyvale Jennifer's skill level is excellent. Her prices are very reasonable. Her staff is friendly. She is going to be my dentist for many many more years. I truly recommend her. Azahara Gonzalez Santa clara One of the most important things to me was that my dentist in US has the same opinion for my treatment that had my dentist in Spain. Then, I found doctor Wu and I had a wonderful experience during all this years. Jennifer Wu and all of her team try to make you feel confortable during cleanings and treatments and that’s is very important during a dentist visit. Rey V. Santa Clara Good service.

Click on a question below to see the answer. What should I do if I have bad breath? Bad breath (halitosis) can be an unpleasant and embarrassing condition.  Many of us may not realize that we have bad breath, but everyone has it from time to time, especially in the morning. There are various causes that attribute to bad breath, but in healthy people, the major source is microbial deposits on the tongue.  Some studies have shown that simply brushing the tongue reduced bad breath by as much as 70 percent. What causes bad breath? Morning time –  Saliva flow almost stops during sleep, reducing its cleaning power and allowing bacteria to grow, which results in bad breath. Certain foods – Garlic, onions, etc.  Foods containing odor-causing compounds enter the blood stream; they are transferred to the lungs, where they are exhaled. Poor oral hygiene habits – Food particles remaining in the mouth promote bacterial growth. Periodontal (gum) disease – Colonies of bacteria and food debris residing under inflamed gums. Dental cavities and improperly fitted dental appliances – May also contribute to bad breath. Dry mouth (Xerostomia) – May be caused by certain medications, salivary gland problems, or continuous mouth breathing. Tobacco products – Dry the mouth, causing bad breath. Dieting – Certain chemicals called ketones are released in the breath as the body burns fat. Dehydration, hunger, and missed meals – Drinking water and chewing food increases saliva flow and washes bacteria away. Certain medical conditions and illnesses – Diabetes, liver and kidney problems, chronic sinus infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia are several conditions that may contribute to bad breath. Keeping a record of what you eat may help identify the cause of bad breath.  Also, review your current medications, recent surgeries, or illnesses with your dentist. What can I do to prevent bad breath? Practice good oral hygiene – Brush at least twice a day with an ADA approved fluoride toothpaste and toothbrush.  Floss daily to remove food debris and plaque from in between the teeth and under the gumline.  Brush or use a tongue scraper to clean the tongue and reach the back areas.  Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months.  If you wear dentures or removable bridges, clean them thoroughly and place them back in your mouth in the morning. See your dentist regularly – Get a check-up and cleaning at least twice a year.  If you have or have had periodontal disease, your dentist will recommend more frequent visits. Stop smoking/chewing tobacco – Ask your dentist what they recommend to help break the habit. Drink water frequently – Water will help keep your mouth moist and wash away bacteria. Use mouthwash/rinses – Some over-the-counter products only provide a temporary solution to mask unpleasant mouth odor.   Ask your dentist about antiseptic rinses that not only alleviate bad breath but also kill the germs that cause the problem. In most cases, your dentist can treat the cause of bad breath.   If it is determined that your mouth is healthy and bad breath remains persistent, your dentist may refer you to your physician to determine the cause of the odor and an appropriate treatment plan. --> How often should I brush and floss? Brushing and flossing help control the plaque and bacteria that cause dental disease. Plaque is a film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva that sticks to the teeth and gums.  The bacteria in plaque convert certain food particles into acids that cause tooth decay.  Also, if plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar).  If plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone, causing periodontal (gum) disease. Plaque formation and growth is continuous and can only be controlled by regular brushing, flossing, and the use of other dental aids. Toothbrushing – Brush your teeth at least twice a day (especially before going to bed at night) with an ADA approved soft bristle brush and toothpaste. Brush at a 45 degree angle to the gums, gently using a small, circular motion, ensuring that you always feel the bristles on the gums . Brush the outer, inner, and biting surfaces of each tooth. Use the tip of the brush head to clean the inside front teeth. Brush your tongue to remove bacteria and to freshen your breath. Electric toothbrushes are also recommended.  They are easy to use and can remove plaque efficiently.  Simply place the bristles of the electric brush on your gums and teeth and allow the brush to do its job, several teeth at a time. Flossing – Daily flossing is the best way to clean between the teeth and under the gumline.  Flossing not only helps clean these spaces, it disrupts plaque colonies from building up, preventing damage to the gums, teeth, and bone. Take 12-16 inches (30-40cm) of dental floss and wrap it around your middle fingers, leaving about 2 inches (5cm) of floss between the hands. Using your thumbs and forefingers to guide the floss, gently insert the floss between teeth using a sawing motion. Curve the floss into a “C” shape around each tooth and under the gumline.  Gently move the floss up and down, cleaning the side of each tooth. Floss holders are recommended if you have difficulty using conventional floss. Rinsing – It is important to rinse your mouth with water after brushing, and also after meals if you are unable to brush.  If you are using an over-the-counter product for rinsing, it’s a good idea to consult with your dentist or dental hygienist on its appropriateness for you. --> Are amalgam (silver) fillings safe? Over the years, there has been some concern about the safety of amalgam (silver) fillings. An amalgam is a blend of copper, silver, tin, and zinc, bound by elemental mercury.  Dentists have used this blended metal to fill teeth for more than 100 years.  The controversy is due to claims that the exposure to the vapor and minute particles from the mercury can cause a variety of health problems. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), up to 76% of dentists use silver containing mercury to fill teeth.  The ADA also states that silver fillings are safe and that studies have failed to find any link between silver containing mercury and any medical disorder. The general consensus is that amalgam (silver) fillings are safe.  Along with the ADA’s position, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization, the FDA, and others support the use of silver fillings as safe, durable, and cost effective.  The U.S. Public Health Service says that the only reason not to use silver fillings is when a patient has an allergy to any component of this type of filling.   The ADA has had fewer than 100 reported incidents of an allergy to components of silver fillings, and this is out of the millions of silver fillings placed over the decades. Although studies indicate that there are no measurable health risks to patients who have silver fillings, we do know that mercury is a toxic material when we are exposed at high, unsafe levels.  For instance, we have been warned to limit the consumption of certain types of fish that carry high levels of mercury in them.  However, with respect to amalgam fillings, the ADA maintains that when the merc Crowns and Fillings | Sunnyvale, CA | Jennifer Wu, DDS Accessibility Call 408-733-0840 Accessibility Jennifer Wu, DDS Sunnyvale Wellness Dentistry Appointment Request Contact Us Welcome Our Practice What Sets Us Apart Meet The Doctor Meet The Team Patient Info Blog Services FAQs Payment Plans Appointment Request More Read our Reviews Leave A Review Testimonials Contact Pay Online Notice of Privacy Practices Crowns and Fillings Crowns and Fillings --> A crown (or cap) is a covering that encases the entire tooth surface, restoring it to its original shape and size.  A crown protects and strengthens tooth structure that cannot be restored with fillings or other types of restorations. Although there are several types of crowns, porcelain (tooth colored crown) are the most popular.  They are highly durable and will last many years, but like most dental restorations, they may eventually need to be replaced.  Porcelain crowns are made to match the shape, size, and color of your teeth, giving you a long-lasting, beautiful smile. Reasons for crowns: Broken or fractured teeth. Cosmetic enhancement. Decayed teeth. Fractured fillings. Large fillings. Tooth has a root canal. What does getting a crown involve? A crown procedure usually requires two appointments.  Your first appointment will include taking several highly accurate molds (or impressions) that will be used to create your custom crown.  A mold will also be used to create a temporary crown which will stay on your tooth for approximately two weeks until your new crown is fabricated by a dental laboratory. While the tooth is numb, the dentist will prepare the tooth by removing any decay and shaping the surface to properly fit the crown.  Once these details are accomplished, your temporary crown will be placed with temporary cement and your bite will be checked to ensure you are biting properly. At your second appointment, your temporary crown will be removed, the tooth will be cleaned, and your new crown will be carefully placed to ensure the spacing and bite are accurate. You will be given care instructions and encouraged to have regular dental visits to check your new crown. A composite (tooth colored) filling is used to repair a tooth that is affected by decay, cracks, fractures, etc.  The decayed or affected portion of the tooth will be removed and then filled with a composite filling. There are many types of filling materials available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.  You and your dentist can discuss the best options for restoring your teeth.  Composite fillings, along with silver amalgam fillings, are the most widely used today.  Because composite fillings are tooth colored, they can be closely matched to the color of existing teeth, and are more aesthetically suited for use in front teeth or more visible areas of the mouth. As with most dental restorations, composite fillings are not permanent and may someday have to be replaced.  They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a long lasting, beautiful smile. Reasons for composite fillings: Chipped teeth. Closing space between two teeth. Cracked or broken teeth. Decayed teeth. Worn teeth. How are composite fillings placed? Composite fillings are usually placed in one appointment.  While the tooth is numb, your dentist will remove decay as needed.  The space will then be thoroughly cleaned and carefully prepared before the new filling is placed.  If the decay was near the nerve of the tooth, a special medication will be applied for added protection.  The composite filling will then be precisely placed, shaped, and polished, restoring your tooth to its original shape and function. It is normal to experience sensitivity to hot and cold when composite fillings are first placed, however this will subside shortly after your tooth acclimates to the new filling. You will be given care instructions at the conclusion of your treatment.  Good oral hygiene practices, eating habits, and regular dental visits will aid in the life of your new fillings.

That’s why I’m passionate about truly getting to know my patients and supporting them in building confident smiles and healthy lives so they can thrive.” - Dr. Wu Meet Dr. Jennifer Wu EDUCATION Originally from sunny San Diego, Dr. Jennifer Wu brings a blend of scientific smarts, steady hands, and heartfelt empathy to every patient she treats. After earning her Microbiology degree from UC San Diego (go Tritons!), she headed up the coast to UCSF for dental school—where her mission to help others truly took shape. PHILOSOPHY Dr. Wu is passionate about people and about oral systematic health. That means her focus is on the whole patient, not just their smile. She always seeks to help her patients understand their care and options so they can collaborate with her on the most suitable solutions.  Additionally, k nowing that going to the dentist can be intimidating, Dr. Wu created a thoughtful dental experience rooted in empathy, expertise, and genuine connection—welcoming patients of all backgrounds with warmth and understanding.

I have been with Dr. Wu for 2 years. One day couple years ago, I asked someone that I am looking for a good dentist and the store owner said I will tell you the best dentist. He recommended Dr. Wu,Jennifer in Sunnyvale, Ca. Dr. Wu has been also his dentist for years he said. Few month later I had oral surgery and the oral surgeon also recommended Dr. Wu, jennifer as my Primary Dentist. I was presently surprised by this coincident. I felt lucky and blessed to have met Dr. Wu as my Dentist. :O) Happy Patient JH. Jan. 18, 2024 Richard Bruce Newman Sunnyvale Jennifer's skill level is excellent. Her prices are very reasonable. Her staff is friendly. She is going to be my dentist for many many more years. I truly recommend her. Azahara Gonzalez Santa clara One of the most important things to me was that my dentist in US has the same opinion for my treatment that had my dentist in Spain. Then, I found doctor Wu and I had a wonderful experience during all this years. Jennifer Wu and all of her team try to make you feel confortable during cleanings and treatments and that’s is very important during a dentist visit. Rey V. Santa Clara Good service.

When the jaws or airway are underdeveloped, it can impact breathing and sleep quality—sometimes leading to issues like snoring, fatigue, or sleep apnea. Crowded or misaligned teeth may also be signs of an underlying airway concern rather than just a cosmetic issue. At our practice, we understand that restful sleep and proper breathing are vital to your well-being. Through screening and working with other airway focused specialists, we address the oral factors that affect sleep and systemic health—helping you breathe easier, sleep deeper, and feel restored.

They are all wonderful. Very Personable, Comfortable - Everyone & Everything Awesome! Top-Notch Dental Care. Nice office, great location. Dr Wu is a skilled and caring dentist, and I am lucky to have had her be our family dentist for many years now. All our visits to her have been excellent dental experiences. My recent dental filling went smoothly and as comfortably as possible. I greatly appreciate Dr Wu being cautious in her diagnoses and making sure a procedure is absolutely necessary. A visit to her office is always a positive and happy experience. Her staff is most helpful and caring. Thank you Dr. Wu! My family and I have been with Dr Wu for long time. She's very honest and nice. She gives professional advice with your need, not for your money. Her hygienists are all excellent and detail oriented. Everyone is incredibly friendly, helpful, and always willing to listen. There’s a warm and respectful atmosphere that makes you feel welcome right away. Thank you for that! The dental hygienist made me feel very comfortable and educated well about brushing. I love Dr. Wu and how she cares for my teeth. I’ve been going to Dr. Wu for about 13 years now and no matter how my insurance change, I refused to go to anyone else. The office is always professional and organized! Very punctual with their appointments. Jenna has been doing my cleaning for some time now and she’s always so gentle yet thorough. I always walk out feeling so refreshed. Today, specifically, Dr. Wu redid my front teeth filling (to close a little gap I hated) and I am beyond happy with the results. She did the original filling over 10 years ago! It was still looking good except it naturally got a little stained overtime. This time she closed the gap a little more and I was so surprised to see the results, it look so good and natural!! Felt like I got new front teeth. I can go on about what’s good about their office because it’s many things but overall Dr. Wu’s office is 5 stars plus more! Dental care is so important and I always feel taken care of with Dr. Wu. Connect With Us Ready to come in for an appointment? Contact us today!

A periodontal probe (small dental instrument) is gently used to measure the sulcus (pocket or space) between the tooth and the gums.  The depth of a healthy sulcus measures three millimeters or less and does not bleed.  The periodontal probe helps indicate if pockets are deeper than three millimeters.  As periodontal disease progresses, the pockets usually get deeper. Your dentist or hygienist will use pocket depths, amount of bleeding, inflammation, tooth mobility, etc., to make a diagnosis that will fall into a category below: Gingivitis Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease.  Plaque and its toxin by-products irritate the gums, making them tender, inflamed, and likely to bleed. Periodontitis Plaque hardens into calculus (tartar).  As calculus and plaque continue to build up, the gums begin to recede from the teeth.  Deeper pockets form between the gums and teeth and become filled with bacteria and pus.  The gums become very irritated, inflamed, and bleed easily.  Slight to moderate bone loss may be present. Advanced Periodontitis The teeth lose more support as the gums, bone, and periodontal ligament continue to be destroyed.  Unless treated, the affected teeth will become very loose and may be lost.  Generalized moderate to severe bone loss may be present.

Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don’t know it!  Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages. Not only is it the number one reason for tooth loss, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk during pregnancy.  Researchers are determining if inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease affects these systemic diseases and conditions.  Smoking also increases the risk of periodontal disease. Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease. Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease: Bleeding gums – Gums should never bleed, even when you brush vigorously or use dental floss. Loose teeth – Also caused by bone loss or weakened periodontal fibers (fibers that support the tooth to the bone). New spacing between teeth – Caused by bone loss. Persistent bad breath – Caused by bacteria in the mouth. Pus around the teeth and gums – Sign that there is an infection present. Receding gums – Loss of gum around a tooth. Red and puffy gums – Gums should never be red or swollen. Tenderness or Discomfort – Plaque, calculus, and bacteria irritate the gums and teeth. Related Procedures What is Periodontal (Gum) Disease?
