Dr. Matthew Weber, DDS, MD
Founder | Board-Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
Dr. Matthew Weber is a board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and founder of Sandhills Oral & Facial Surgery. A Nebraska native, Dr. Weber was born and raised in Ogallala and completed his undergraduate education at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry.
Following dental school, Dr. Weber earned his Medical Degree and completed a rigorous six-year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. His training encompassed the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery, including head and neck trauma and reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, dental implant surgery, facial cosmetic surgery, pathology, and cleft lip and palate surgery. His residency also included dedicated anesthesia training in hospital-based general anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, and office-based IV sedation.
After residency, Dr. Weber and his wife, Carly, returned home to Nebraska in 2019 and founded Sandhills Oral & Facial Surgery in Kearney. Today, Dr. Weber and his surgical team provide comprehensive oral and maxillofacial surgical care, including wisdom tooth removal and complex extractions, dental implant surgery and bone grafting, full-arch and full-mouth reconstruction, treatment of facial trauma and jaw fractures, corrective jaw surgery, oral pathology, and IV sedation and anesthesia. While his practice encompasses the full scope of the specialty, Dr. Weber has developed particular expertise in dental implant surgery and complex reconstruction, helping patients restore function, health, and confidence through highly individualized treatment.
Today, dental implant treatment at Sandhills brings surgery, advanced digital technology, and restorative design together under one roof. Through an in-house digital implant laboratory and an evolving digital workflow—including advanced imaging, intraoral scanning, photogrammetry, digital design, 3D printing, and milling—Dr. Weber and the Sandhills team are able to collaborate closely throughout the surgical and restorative process. This integration allows the team to plan complex cases with precision while creating highly individualized treatment solutions for each patient.
Dr. Weber has been recognized as a Straumann Platinum Provider, reflecting his extensive experience with implant dentistry and full-arch treatment as well as Sandhills' longstanding relationship with Straumann, a global leader in implant dentistry. His expertise has also led to opportunities beyond his own practice, including an invitation to speak at the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) and to contribute as a Key Opinion Leader for Straumann, including participation with industry leaders at Straumann's headquarters in Switzerland.
Despite the technology and continued advancement of his practice, Dr. Weber's philosophy remains centered on something much simpler: exceptional care for the individual patient. He believes expertise carries a responsibility—to listen carefully, communicate honestly, collaborate with each patient's dental team, and recommend treatment based on what is truly right for that person.
That philosophy guides the entire Sandhills team. Dr. Weber's surgical training, experience, and commitment to continued learning allow Sandhills Oral & Facial Surgery to provide highly specialized care close to home, while maintaining the personal relationships and sense of community that brought the Webers back to Nebraska in the first place.
Outside of surgery, Dr. Weber enjoys spending time with Carly and their three children. He is happiest outdoors—preferably next to a grill and with family and friends—and enjoys music, sports, and traveling to cheer on his favorite teams. He remains a loyal supporter of the Huskers, the Lopers, and his Nebraska roots.
For Dr. Weber, one of the most meaningful parts of being an oral surgeon remains getting to know his patients and their families and having the opportunity to care for the community he calls home.
