Dr. Matz knew he wanted to be a dentist by the time he was four years old. And that did not go unnoticed by his dentist.
Dr. Matz’s childhood dentist encouraged his curiosity about the profession on his first visit and could see that perhaps he would one day be a dentist too. Looking back, Dr. Matz realized that what made the biggest impacts on him as a patient were his dentist’s excellent technical skills, and how educated, caring, and friendly he was. That dentist became Dr. Matz’s professional role model. When Dr. Matz grew up, he received his degree from Creighton University Dental School in Omaha, Nebraska, his hometown. Today, Dr. Matz has a dental practice located in the heart of Omaha, Nebraska.
Dr. Matz practices general dentistry and enjoys all aspects of the profession. He focuses on the entire mouth and all its conditions as it relates to the body as a whole. He is passionate about working with entire families from grandchildren to grandparents. Dr. Matz believes each patient is an individual with unique physical and emotional needs. He has a special place in his heart for fearful patients and prides himself on putting them at ease.
Dr. Matz’s professional affiliations keep him on top of current trends and skills. He is active in local, state, and national dental societies. Dr. Matz is a member of:
- Omaha District Dental Society

Dr. Matz attends regular seminars in a well-respected study club, and he always exceeds the required number of hours of continuing education.
Dr. Matz’s hobbies allow him to indulge in his creative side. He enjoys playing and singing music, creating artwork, dental photography, gardening, and being involved in his church. During the winter months, he visits schools to teach children about dentistry using magic, puppets, and music.
Just as he strives to be a good provider for his dental family of patients, Dr. Matz also strives to be a great family man for his wife and three children.
