I am grateful: That I live in a country that allows me to pursue my freedom and my passions freely. I am grateful: That I work with a cohesive and loving team that accepts and appreciates those whom we serve, wherever they are on their journey and helps them to understand how to make choices to better their health and wellness. I am grateful: That my God loves me just the way I am.

The Strevey Dental team has some strong beliefs that have directly affected our philosophy of caring for our patients. Firstly, we understand that most people truly desire to be healthy. Secondly, most people really do not like having dental work performed on them.
The Mission of our team is to provide you with a Health-Centered Practice. For those who seek out our care, we will work in harmony with mutual trust and respect with the end result being the prevention of dental disease.
As an empowered and inspired team we pursue the highest level of continuing education and happily give of ourselves to providing a safe, comfortable and caring environment. Our commitment to you, our patient, is to provide you with uncompromised personal care and education.
A healthy, functioning and natural set of teeth can improve both the length and quality of one’s life. Through your awareness, involvement and commitment, we can establish a road map for your destiny and travel the journey together.
After much thought and soul-searching, our team has collectively determined five core values that significantly influence our existence as a team to serve our patients.
- Spirituality
- Family
- Relationships
- Quality, Comprehensive Care
- Education and Training
The Ascent
Grab hold,
And take this hand that Reaches out to you.
Look up Into my eyes;
My spirit Cries out to you:
Friendship is my thought.
Let us climb
The jagged cliffs of life
And fight the ascent of Opposition together.
If I can lift you today,
You will look back
And grab hold of a thousand more.
That is the way
The Great Spirit would have it!

Poem by Howard Rainer ~ American Indian Poet
Since 1987, I have been a dentist in Omaha, Nebraska and it’s been such a pleasure to build wonderful relationships with our patients and their families. We believe that oral health is an essential part of achieving overall health…that’s why I truly care about every patient that walks in our door.
We understand that choosing a dentist can be a challenge. That’s why our dental team pursues the highest level of continuing education and we happily provide you with a safe, comfortable and caring environment, while respecting your individual preferences, needs, budget, and lifestyle.

Hygienist
Hi, I am Sandy. I am a clinical Hygienist and have been with Dr. Strevey since 1991. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene from the University of Nebraska. I have received advanced education through the L.D. Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida in Advanced Root Planning and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry in Local Anesthesia.
I was raised in Dannebrog, a small Danish community in central Nebraska. My husband Steve and I are blessed with our son, Jim, daughter, Katie, son-in-law Ray and our grandsons Henry James and Axe Ian. I love swimming, exercising, movies (favorites; Pay It Forward and Scent of a Woman), refinishing antiques, gardening and spending time with my grandsons.
I love working with Dr. Strevey and am so fortunate to have been with him for all these years. We are a relationship driven practice and I am given enough time with our patients to give quality care and am so thankful for this. What I truly love about my profession is helping a patient conquer periodontal disease, coaching them to become proactive about good homecare and maintaining a healthy oral cavity. I believe in our mission statement and use it as a guide to serve our patients daily.

Dental Assistant
My name is Sarah. I was born and raised in Omaha, NE and earned my dental assisting certificate through Metro Community College in August, 2010. In November of that same year I then earned my national certification.
I chose to go into dental assisting because it’s a great profession to help people and get to know the patients. I enjoy working at Dr. Strevey’s office because every patient is treated like family. Patients are given the time and quality care that they deserve.
Outside of the office I spend most of my time with my fiancé, Cody, and our son, Sawyer. Everyday is a new experience with him and I love watching him grow up! Besides that, I enjoy reading, exercising, bowling and spending time with family and friends.
