Time For You to Have a Good Night’s Sleep
Meet Dr. Jerry Yu
I come from a family of dentists, yet I didn’t have the best of teeth and went through a fair share of problems and procedures. Since then, I have tried to make getting dental care comfortable, simple, and as gentle as possible.
After graduating from high school in Santa Maria, I attended UCLA for undergrad and New York University for dental school. I also completed a surgery residency in Long Island. After I got tired of shoveling snow in New York, I decided to return to the Central Coast in 2011. I enjoy spending time with my wife Samantha and chasing after our daughter Genevieve and son Maxwell.
TMJ Care
For a Lifetime of Pain-Free Sleep
OUR Team
From consultation to recovery, you will be fully walked through the entire procedure, the “whys and hows”, and we will get everything done under one roof. Dr. Yu is focused on listening to all of your questions throughout your appointment. You can expect him to feel the emotion of your jaw (as it opens and closes), gently press on various areas of your jaw, and he may even recommend x-rays, an MRI, or a CT scan. These tools all work in harmony to determine the overall extent of damage done by TMD.
OUR Treatment Promise
Our office’s caring staff and dentists are well-known for their TMJ treatment in the San Luis Obispo area. Through careful examination and listening to our patients’ needs and concerns, we can properly assess and identify your symptoms.
YOUR Easy Financial Solution
We accept most insurance plans with the exception of Medi-Cal / Denti-Cal. We offer bundled implant packages to make treatment more affordable. We also offer special promotions for new patients without insurance. You’ll know the costs before you begin treatment.
