Dr. John R. Feusier, DDS, MS fell in love with Santa Barbara while earning his undergraduate degree at UC Santa Barbara, where he graduated with honors. After graduating from UCSB, Dr. Feusier traveled home to the Bay Area to attend Dental School at the University of the Pacific, and finally on to Baylor College of Dentistry at Texas A&M Health Science Center for his residency in Orthodontics.
Dr. Feusier received both his Orthodontic Certificate and his Master’s Degree in Oral Biology from Baylor University, after having received extensive training in all aspects of Orthodontics including braces, Invisalign and surgically-assisted orthodontics. His training included treating patients of all ages, and with multiple treatment methods, covering all disciplines of Orthodontic care.
Today, Dr. Feusier proudly serves patients across Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley as the owner and orthodontist at Feusier Orthodontics. He was also a member of the Dallas Children’s Hospital Craniofacial Team, and treated patients living with Cleft Lip and/or Palate and other craniofacial anomalies.
Over the past decade, Dr. Feusier has risen to the top of his profession with his unique treatment style that looks holistically at each individual patient. He has found that when he looks at the patient as a whole, addressing airway and ideal nasal breathing, optimal posture of the tongue and lips, sleep, and other lifestyle modifications, he produces much more than straight teeth.
In 2015, Dr. Feusier married his wife, Daniela, an internationally trained dentist whom he met while both were at Baylor. In 2016, Dr. Feusier became board certified through the American Board of Orthodontics, a rare honor among Orthodontic Specialists. When he’s not perfecting smiles, Dr. Feusier loves spending time outdoors with his wife, daughter, and his dog, Cali. He can be found surfing, strength training, and learning martial arts.
