Hector Menendez, DMD

Dr. Menendez earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from Rutgers University and went on to study at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, where he earned a Master’s in biomedical sciences in 1998. In 2003, he graduated from UMDNJ Dental School. After graduation, Dr. Menendez has focused a lot of his time on continuing education. He has taken Invisalign® courses, and has completed a mini-residency in implant dentistry, and advanced training in implant dentistry.

Dr. Menendez enjoys interacting with his patients, helping to transform their smiles and seeing the great satisfaction that it brings. Dr. Menendez is intent on providing value to his patients, team members, and practice by continuously searching for the best technology and materials, taking continuing education courses, and evaluating where we can improve our collective daily experience. This entails making the necessary changes in a timely fashion based on feedback and several self-evaluating protocols we have in effect.

When he’s not in our office, Dr. Menendez enjoys exercising, playing pool, traveling, and fishing with his three children. Dr. Menendez enjoys maintaining a very relaxed and happy atmosphere in the office. He invites you to visit one of his conveniently located practices in New Brunswick or Union, New Jersey, soon to begin improving your oral health.
