Your first appointment at Cerritos Plaza Dentistry is more than just a routine exam. It’s an opportunity for us to start building a genuine connection with you. Here’s what you can expect:

A Warm Welcome and Thoughtful Conversation

As you check in with our friendly front office team, you’ll immediately sense our commitment to making you feel at home. We’ll review any forms or paperwork you completed in advance and answer any questions you have. 

Then, you’ll sit down with Dr. Jared Wu for an initial conversation where we listen to your worries, concerns, and goals for your health. This one-on-one time sets the stage for a partnership built on trust and understanding.

Comprehensive Exam and Personalized Care Plan

After we learn more about you and your concerns, Dr. Wu will conduct a thorough dental exam, including:

• A gentle teeth and gum checkup to assess your oral health.
• Any necessary X-rays to gain a clearer view of what’s happening beneath the surface.
• An evaluation of existing dental work and your overall dental structure.

Once we’ve completed your exam, Dr. Wu will explain his findings and work with you to create a conservative treatment plan tailored to your needs. At Cerritos Plaza Dentistry, we emphasize preserving your natural teeth and only recommend treatments that truly benefit your health and well-being. We offer straightforward, minimally invasive care centered on what’s best for you.
