Meet Dr. Francis Nunez
Dr. Nunez practices at Linden Dental Associates, serving Linden, New Jersey and surrounding communities.
Dr. Francis Nunez is a board-certified General Dentist who joined Linden Dental Associates in 2017. He grew up in West Orange, New Jersey, and as a child had a great experience with his family dentist that sparked his interest in dentistry. He attended Montclair State University, graduating Magna Cum Laude with a degree in molecular biology, then went on to earn a dental degree from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.
While in dental school, Dr. Nunez participated in several organizations and organized volunteering events for local communities. He traveled to conferences and received several patient and academic awards, and was selected as an ambassador to guide new dental students during their admissions. He enjoys his profession and strives to help his patients through their treatment in an easy and comfortable manner.
Dr. Nunez completed a one-year dental residency program at Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and continues to participate in continuing-education courses to provide the best possible care. He is an active member of the American Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Association, and the Essex County Dental Society. He also belongs to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry.
He enjoys running, spending time outdoors hiking and fishing, and would like to learn to play the guitar.

The kind of dentistry he practices
Dr. Nunez treats the full range of general dentistry, and patients consistently describe visits with him the way he intends them: easy and comfortable. His own path into the profession began with a childhood dentist who made care feel safe, and he pays that experience forward deliberately, especially with nervous patients and families. He joined the practice in 2017. Since then, hundreds of Linden families have come to know him. Most met him at a simple cleaning. They stayed for the way he explains, listens, and never rushes.
A New Jersey dentist for New Jersey families
From West Orange childhood to Montclair State honors to Rutgers dental training, Dr. Nunez's whole path runs through this state, and it shows in how naturally he connects with the families of Linden. He knows these towns, these commutes, these Saturday-morning scheduling puzzles, because they are his own. Patients sense the difference between a dentist passing through and one rooted here; Dr. Nunez has spent his career being unmistakably the second kind, and the hundreds of local families who ask for him by name are the proof.
Booking with Dr. Nunez is simple: request him by name online or at 908-486-5252, and join the local families who already consider him their dentist. Easy and comfortable is his promise; keeping it is his career.
Some dentists have patients; Dr. Nunez has neighbors, and it makes all the difference.
His patients say the same thing again and again. He listens. He explains. He never rushes. If that is the kind of dentist you want, he is one call away.
Easy visits. Clear answers. A doctor who feels like a neighbor, because he is one. That is Dr. Nunez.
What do visits with him feel like? Easy. He greets you like he knows you, because soon he does. He works with a light touch. He explains in plain words. And he never makes you feel rushed or judged. Care like that keeps families coming back for years.
