Dr. Dustin Svatos was born in Omaha, NE, and attended Creighton University as a triple graduate, where he first received his bachelor’s degree in biology in 2014. He continued his education and earned his master’s degree in oral biology, with an emphasis on anatomy and histology in 2016. This helped prepare him for the rigors and challenges of dental school, where Dr. Svatos earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in May of 2020. Throughout dental school, Dr. Svatos worked as a teaching assistant for numerous courses and as a tutor to assist other students in need. He also participated in multiple research projects and presented at a national conference. Additionally, Dr. Svatos enjoys staying up to date on new technology and information that pertains to all things related to dentistry and medicine. For example, he has taken continuing education courses on Invisalign, as well as oral sedation, which has helped ensure his preparedness for the multiple facets of dentistry. Dr. Svatos is also an active member of the American Dental Association, allowing him to support his patients and practice with evidence-based dentistry.

Dr. Svatos has had the goal of becoming a dentist since middle school. Growing up, he enjoyed going to his family dentist, who helped make his career path an easy choice by perpetuating positive feelings towards oral healthcare – something Dr. Svatos hopes to pass on to his own patients. Throughout his education, Creighton University emphasized the importance of caring for and serving others, as well as participating in community outreach programs. As such, Dr. Svatos values this mission and is excited to serve the Council Bluffs community.
