Meet Our Experts
Dr. Shauna Fung is the Board-Certified Orthodontist behind Nexus. Shauna grew up feeling self-conscious and insecure because she had crooked teeth. As a result, Dr. Shauna didn’t like to smile, and it impacted her self-esteem and emotional health. After her orthodontic treatment, she realized how much confidence it gave her. It was a feeling that she never forgot. It inspired and motivated her to want to bring that kind of confidence and self-assurance to others, which is why she first went into dentistry and orthodontic care.
The decision to go into orthodontic care was a decision that meant Dr. Shauna would be working through school for much longer than the standard dentistry track. After she completed her undergraduate degree, Dr. Shauna received her DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) at New York University’s College of Dentistry, Dr. Shauna was focused on her goals - to empower people and to bring out the best versions of people to build their confidence. She felt that she could do more.
So, she took the extra step beyond general dentistry. Dr. Shauna was accepted into the highly competitive CODA (Commission on Dental Accreditation) Accredited Orthodontic Program at Montefiore Medical Center, which would give her three years of intensive training for her to practice as an Orthodontist. Additionally, Dr. Fung is a Board Certified Orthodontist - a certification which only 33% of orthodontists in the country have.
As Dr. Shauna moved through her extensive education, and the opening of her first practice in New York City over 15 years ago, she also found love in her undergraduate sweetheart and they grew their family to a party of four. Now, as a mother who has raised two teenagers, and a woman of color who runs her own Orthodontic practice, Dr. Shauna sees how much the world has changed. Access to smartphones, social media, and ever-expanding technology has created a new, more highly pressured social schema for today’s adolescents to navigate, one that is more stressful and harmful to teenage self-esteem than it has been before.
Shauna wanted to foster an environment in a place that could utilize technology in a positive light - to bring out confidence, and to empower her patients to be the best version of themselves. Thus, Nexus was formed. A place where Dr. Shauna could do exactly that. Nestled in the heart of New Hyde Park and servicing both New Hyde Park and surrounding neighborhoods in Nassau County like Manhasset, Great Neck, Floral Park, and Plainview, Nexus is here to start your orthodontics journey with you. Dr. Shauna has extensive experience and expertise working with youth for early orthodontic treatment, teens, and adults. She is here to share both her wealth of knowledge as well as her passion for not only improving her patients’ smiles but for empowering them, too - from the moment they step foot into the office, for the rest of their lives. Let’s unlock your smile, together.
