Cosmetic, Implant, and Family Dentist in Norman, Oklahoma

Dr. Brett Leemaster, DDS, is a cosmetic, implant, and family dentist at Espire Dental Norman in Norman, Oklahoma, serving patients from Norman, Moore, Noble, Lexington, Goldsby, and surrounding communities. With deep Oklahoma roots, University of Oklahoma training, and an Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency, Dr. Leemaster provides cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, same-day crowns, wisdom tooth treatment, and emergency dental care with a clear, organized approach.

Dr. Leemaster’s clinical focus includes CEREC (Chairside Economical Restoration of Esthetic Ceramics) same-day crowns, single-tooth dental implants, implant placement and restoration, Invisalign clear aligners, Zoom teeth whitening, wisdom tooth removal, tooth-colored fillings, simple extractions, and emergency dental exams. He is especially focused on helping patients replace a single missing tooth with a dental implant, restore broken or painful teeth quickly, and improve their smile with efficient cosmetic and restorative treatment.

Education and Advanced Training

Dr. Leemaster earned both his undergraduate degree and his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Oklahoma. He was accepted into the University of Oklahoma’s Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency program, where he completed an additional year of clinical training beyond dental school.

During his AEGD residency, Dr. Leemaster received focused training in cosmetic dentistry, dental implant placement and restoration, and wisdom tooth removal. That experience strengthened his ability to treat a wide range of dental concerns, from routine restorative care to more complex surgical and cosmetic cases.

Technology and Treatment Planning

At Espire Dental Norman, Dr. Leemaster uses 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging to evaluate teeth, bone, roots, and implant sites with greater detail. He also provides CEREC same-day crowns for patients who need a strong, natural-looking crown without multiple appointments, Invisalign clear aligners for mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, and Zoom Whitening for patients who want a brighter smile.

Emergency dentistry is an important part of his practice. Dr. Leemaster and his team are known for getting patients seen quickly, identifying the problem, relieving pain, and creating a plan that addresses the immediate concern and the long-term health of the smile.

Why Dentistry

Dr. Leemaster grew up in Moore, Oklahoma, and was inspired to pursue dentistry by his father, who has long practiced as a dentist himself. Dentistry was not an abstract career choice for him. He saw firsthand how a dentist builds trust with families over time, solves urgent problems, and becomes part of a patient’s life through years of care. That early exposure shaped the way he practices today: detail-oriented, relationship-driven, and focused on explaining every step clearly.

Philosophy of Care

“I try to treat every patient the same way I would treat my family.”

Patients frequently tell Dr. Leemaster that he explains treatment well, sits down with them, and takes time to answer their questions. He gets to know patients personally, and conversations in his chair regularly go beyond dentistry to vacations, hobbies, family, and everyday life. That connection helps patients feel informed, respected, and confident in their treatment decisions.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

A first visit with Dr. Leemaster is thorough and unhurried. Patients receive a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays, periodontal screening, oral cancer screening, and a clear discussion of their treatment options. When concerns are urgent, Dr. Leemaster focuses first on diagnosing the problem, relieving discomfort, and explaining the next steps in plain language. For comprehensive care, he helps patients understand what needs attention now, what to monitor, and which options best fit their goals.

Children and Family Dentistry

Dr. Leemaster treats children and adults, with most pediatric patients coming from families already seen at Espire Dental Norman. For children, he provides cleanings, sealants, simple fillings, and simple extractions. When a child needs extensive dental treatment or specialty-level pediatric care, Dr. Leemaster refers the family to a trusted pediatric dental specialist.

Outside the Office

Dr. Leemaster is Sooner born and Sooner bred, and his University of Oklahoma connection remains a major part of his story. On OU game days, his family has a simple tradition: every time the Sooners score a touchdown, they celebrate with queso.

Outside dentistry, Dr. Leemaster is a dedicated runner with Boston Marathon experience. He and his wife, Alesha, have one child and stay busy with running, little league sports, camping, hiking, exploring national parks, and traveling. New York City is a favorite family destination. He also enjoys supporting local Oklahoma breweries and brings the same organized, detail-oriented mindset to life outside the office that patients see in his dentistry.
