Dr. Brett Leemaster is Sooner Born and Sooner Bred. He grew up in Moore where his father was (and still is) a practicing dentist! His dad’s example motivated Dr. Leemaster to become a dentist himself, so he pursued his undergrad degree and DDS from the University of Oklahoma. Fun fact: he eats queso EVERY time OU scores a touchdown when he’s watching at home. Yum Dr. Leemaster was also accepted into the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program at OU and spent this additional year receiving advanced training in cosmetic dentistry, implant placement & restoration, and wisdom tooth removal. As a result, he is skilled across multiple specialties, to treat a wide variety of dental issues utilizing advanced techniques and procedures.

Outside of his practice, Dr. Leemaster is a dedicated runner who qualified for the 2020 Boston Marathon! However, it was cancelled so he is currently training to run in Fall 2021 or Spring 2022. He and his wife, Alesha, have one kiddo who keeps them very busy with little league sports. As a family, they enjoy camping, hiking, exploring national parks and vacations (NYC is their favorite destination). He’s also an avid spreadsheet user so you can bet those vacations are organized and run like clockwork!

Next time you’re in the office, ask Dr. Leemaster about his love of craft beer and supporting local Oklahoma breweries too. It will make your visit fly right by! He is a great guy and an excellent dentist, who is truly passionate about using his distinctive skillset to create beautiful smiles and restore both confidence and function for his patients.
