Dr. Patricia Nuñez

Born and raised in McAllen, TX, Dr. Patricia A. Nuñez loves having the opportunity to truly get to know her patients and their families. Not only does she get to improve smiles, but she also gets to build strong relationships while educating people about their oral health. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the transformations in their smiles, whether she helps them regain confidence or enhances what they already have. Knowing that she can make a positive impact in the lives of others brings her so much happiness, and she wouldn’t have it any other way! Dr. Nuñez was raised by parents who worked in healthcare, and she always admired their dedication and empathy toward their patients. Growing up, she had positive experiences with her own dental visits and found that she really admired her dentist. Over time, she realized that dentistry offered the perfect balance of patient care and hands-on work, and it felt like a natural fit for her. Dr. Nuñez first graduated from the University of Texas at Austin for her undergraduate degree. She then went on to study at the University of Texas School of Dentistry in Houston for her dental doctorate. Over the years, she’s undergone advanced training in various areas, such as implant overdentures, anterior endodontics, geriatrics, and special needs at UT Health. She’s also received certifications in Invisalign, Botox, and dermal fillers, and a certification from the Academy of Laser Dentistry.
