Dr. Nigel Suarez
Dr. Suarez graduated with honors from the prestigious UCLA School of Dentistry in 1993 and established his practice in San Francisco shortly thereafter. With over 30 years of experience, he offers advanced care across many facets of dentistry, continually updating his expertise through advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics, dental implantology, and restorative dentistry.
His clinical excellence and exceptional chairside manner have earned him numerous honors, including the Consumer Review Board’s “Dentist of the Year,” “America’s Top Dentists,” the “San Francisco Award in Dentistry,” and the “Spectrum Award.”
“Dentistry is a marriage of art and science that must be performed without pain or discomfort to patients.”
My Philosophy:
“I have been at the service of patients in San Francisco for over 2 decades. It is a city and community I truly love. For those of you who have never met me, I wanted to share my personal and professional approach to dentistry. First and foremost, I strongly believe in giving my patients the best and most gentle dental care. I believe dentistry is a marriage of art and science that must be performed without pain or discomfort to patients. As a practitioner, I hold this principle dearly and expect all my staff and associate dentists to abide by the same principle. I am very proud of my track record as a ‘gentle and painless’ doctor regardless of the procedure. I also believe patients need to be informed before making any decisions regarding their dental treatment. I always take the time to clearly explain what conditions or problems are present, what the consequences of not treating these problems may be and what options are available to patients. The options I present are plainly laid out, without any bias or ulterior motives. I respect and listen to my patients because I know patients will only come back for treatment if they feel their needs are understood and met. Finally, I believe my patient’s smiles represent my practice and skills. I live in the community I serve and know the dental care I provide is a reflection of me. I am proud of the work I do and want my patients to boast the most beautiful and healthy smiles.”
Discipline, care and a lot of heart.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Suarez enjoys tennis, golf, and gymnastics, and has handled his show dog, Charley, to AKC Champion status.

In his free time, Dr. Suarez loves spending quality time with his husband, Sebastien, and their children, Charlize and Julien.
