Dr Wayland Hunter

My name is Wayland Hunter, and I am excited to be apart of the team at Lupine Dental. I was born and raised in Mankato, MN. While completing the prerequisite coursework for dental school, I earned a Bachelor’s degree in piano performance. After undergrad, I graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry.

My wife, Breeta, and I moved to Alaska in 2021. She is a family medicine physician, completing a residency program at Providence Medical Center in Anchorage. We, along with our dog (Rigby), enjoy living in Anchorage! We spend our summer free time Packrafting, hiking, mountain biking, and trail running. In winter, we enjoy nordic skiing and fat tire biking.

I am committed to providing the highest level of care possible for each patient that walks through the door. You will be treated the way we would like to be treated. I look forward to meeting you!

Derick Sovereign

My name is Derick Sovereign and I look forward to meeting you!



I was raised in Gilbert, AZ. After graduating high school I lived in Moscow, Russia and surrounding areas for two years on church service. When I returned, I attended undergraduate school in Utah where I met my wife, Sydney. After graduating, we moved back to Arizona where I attended dental school.



My wife’s family is in the fishing and hospitality industry in Southeast Alaska so she has spent her summers since she was in high school in Alaska. When she introduced me to it, I knew that we’d love living here. We are very excited to call the Mat-Su Valley home for our family!



When I’m not seeing patients, I love to spend time with my wife and 3 kids. We enjoy getting outside as much as possible and are so excited for all that Alaska has to offer. We also love traveling and experiencing new destinations together.



I strive to make patient comfort my number one priority and I look forward to delivering the very best treatment possible for all of my patients.



I look forward to serving you!

Dr. Sovereign is great! Thorough and professional but also very relaxed and quiet atmosphere. The best part is how prompt the appointment is, starts on time and I didn't have to wait long to have my procedure completed either, which is excellent! The rooms have massage chairs and help make you more comfortable while you have your teeth cleaned and fixed. The front staff is friendly and helpful also- they will give you a cost estimate up front which I really appreciated so I could plan my visit.

Best dentist, hygienists, and office staff around! Modern, very clean, with extra special comforts you don’t find other places... like heat and massage chairs.
