Dr. Shayna Mattox was born and raised in Omaha. She attended Westside High School and then completed undergraduate studies at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. While at UNO, she was on the swim team and her favorite event was the one-mile freestyle. Dr. Shayna went on to obtain a Doctor of Dental Surgery with distinction at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry in Lincoln in 2013.

After dental school, Dr. Shayna worked in public health at a Federally Qualified Health Center near the Lake of the Ozarks and realized how much she enjoyed working with kids. Dr. Shayna then went on to complete a residency program at Nationwide Children's Hospital and received a Masters Degree in Pediatric Dentistry from The Ohio State University. Dr. Shayna was named chief resident of her class and received exceptional training on the most advanced techniques in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of oral disease for infants, children, and patients with special needs. Her clinical research was also published in the Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry.

Dr. Shayna and her husband, Dusty, are excited to be back in Omaha and enjoy any sporting event, but especially Husker football and UNO hockey (Fun Fact! Their first date was at a UNO hockey game). Her hobbies also include boating, traveling, and baking. She is looking forward to getting to know your family!
