Dr. Huber is committed to providing quality orthodontic treatment while exceeding her patients’ and their parents’ expectations with fantastic results. While she has a strong focus on clinical excellence, Dr. Huber also enjoys helping both children and adults to have a positive and fun orthodontic experience. She finds enhancing her patients’ lives with a beautiful smile to be very rewarding.

Education and Experience

After graduating from Lovett, Dr. Huber completed her undergraduate studies at Vanderbilt University. Upon graduation, Dr. Huber entered Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. There she received her Doctorate of Dental Medicine and completed her residency in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics.

Dr. Huber finished at the top of her class and received several distinctions for merit and service. She was presented with The American Equilibration Society Senior Award for excellence in temporomandibular disorders as well as the prestigious American College of Dentists Award. The American College of Dentists is the oldest national honorary society for dentists. It recognizes outstanding leadership and exceptional contributions to dentistry and society.

Dr. Huber’s formal education in orthodontics has provided her with a strong foundation of knowledge and experience.

Dr. Sebastian is also a student of this field he loves. Along with graduating at the University of Alabama Dental School, he completed his Master’s in Science and Orthodontic Certification from the University of Washington. His master’s thesis topic was on the temporomandibular joint. As the teeth are connected to the rest of the body through this joint, he felt it was important to be thoroughly knowledgeable of the anatomy and function. His thesis was widely recognized at the time, was published, and he lectured on this topic. The University of Washington is considered to be the top orthodontic program in the world and home to two of the most renowned dental educators, Dr. Vincent Kokich and Dr. Frank Spear. Dr. Sebastian spent countless hours absorbing the knowledge of these two greats. He has also attended the Pankey Institute and Spear Institute to understand better the role of the orthodontist in treatment of complex multidisciplinary patients. Board certification is voluntary for the orthodontist. It requires many long hours of reviewing treatment results to present specific types of patients treated to a Review Board. It is not a fun process, but if your goal is to be the best you can be in our specialty, it is an invaluable learning experience. You understand better through evaluation of your successes and yes, failures, the thorough process needed to continue to improve as a practitioner. They have made the process easier over the last few years to encourage more orthodontists to participate; as a result, 25% of orthodontists are Boarded compared to 15% when he tested.

As a kid, Dr. Sebastian had many athletic fields within walking distance of his home. The neighborhood kids always congregated there and played whatever sport was in season. As he got older, football kind of chose him. He excelled at it and started to get noticed. Many college offers came his way but the opportunity to play for Coach “Bear” Bryant was his choice. He was fortunate enough to be there when Alabama was at a pinnacle. They won a National Championship in 1978. He started and lettered for that team.

The experience Dr. Sebastian likes to share from his time with Coach Bryant is this: “My sophomore year I came in for the season ready to claim a spot as a starter. I had been injured the year before and was redshirted. During preseason, I injured my knee, which cut my season short, this led to my decision to meet with Coach Bryant to basically ‘whine about my predicament.’ Coach Bryant asked me what I wanted to discuss to which I replied, “Coach Bryant, I’ve had nothing but bad luck since I’ve been here.” He then looked at me and said, “Son, I don’t believe in bad luck. I believe you make your own luck. Have you ever noticed that guy who always seems to get that lucky fumble recovery? Well, if you have watched him on the plays before and the plays after, you would notice he is busting his rear end to be in the right spot so when the opportunity happened, he was there to take advantage of it.””

This experience and the video of Coach Bryant below have become two cornerstones of his personal mission statement

Dr. Sebastian believes in giving back to our community as part of his civic responsibility. Volunteering at the Ben Massell Dental Clinic and for Smiles Changes Lives to treat financially disadvantaged kids allows him to use his orthodontic experience to help those in need. He has coached football and basketball at NYO and baseball at Buckhead. He has also taught Sunday school at Peachtree Presbyterian Church, built homes for Habitat for Humanity, and volunteered for Chastain Park.

As a child, Dr. Everson really enjoyed going to the dentist and the orthodontist. When he was receiving orthodontic treatment, he constantly asked questions about how it worked and wanted to know everything there was about his treatment and what the final result would look like. He always had a positive experience at the orthodontic office and thought it would be a fun career to pursue. He liked the ability to be a small business owner but also be in a position to help improve the confidence of both children and adults and give back to the community. It’s amazing to see the transformation that happens with a shy child hiding their smile to the big confident smile when they finish treatment. In dental school, he looked heavily into the other specialties, but he always gravitated to orthodontics with its combination of physics and basic engineering involved in each unique case.

Today I know that it is not just the desire to alleviate pain that motivates patients, it is also their desire to retain their natural dentition for the rest of their lives. I have discovered that everyone has a slightly different “agenda” for their teeth and for themselves. I have become the person they would consult when they wanted to save their teeth, regardless of the obstacles in their way.

My practice and I have evolved to address the needs of these patients. I have developed the skills to ensure that I can save their teeth whether the patient needs a simple pulpotomy to alleviate their immediate pain, complex root canal therapy on a calcified molar, or a surgical apicoectomy to repair a perforated root.

I will do all that I can to ensure that extraction is the patient’s last option.

Once I leave the office, I enter a different world. My personal life consists of stimuli chosen to balance, yet complement, the stresses of the office. My passions are music, tennis, running, hiking, biking, and playing the saxophone. Dr. Sempira is a member of the Rotary Club of Dunwoody and has been in private practice since 1999.
