He obtained his bachelors degree in biology from Tulane University, and then attended dental school at Louisiana State University where he graduated with his DDS degree in 1978. He then returned to Baton Rouge to practice dentistry.
Dr. Brooksher began his dental career as an associate of Dr. John Atkinson who had a profound influence on him both personally and professionally. They worked together for several years until Dr. Brooksher opened his own practice. When Dr. Atkinson retired, Dr. Brooksher assumed his practice and returned to the office location where he had worked as an associate. He continues to practice at that location.
When asked what he enjoys most about dentistry, Dr. Brooksher says: We often take for granted the simple pleasure we have of eating comfortably. I have seen so many people who have difficulty eating due to painful or missing teeth. They have to limit their food to a soft diet, a compromise not only to their enjoyment, but also to their health. I especially enjoy helping people completely restore their ability to eat at full capacity.
I also enjoy cosmetic dentistry. It is very rewarding to see the dramatic changes that can be accomplished by improving the appearance of a persons smile. We have all witnessed the attraction of a beautiful smile, and it can be life changing to receive a beautiful smile and confidently share it with others.
The Boy Scouts say that a campsite should be left in better condition than it was found. I believe we should all strive to make our world a better place in some way, and it is exciting to me to know that I can make a significant contribution. I also believe that a beautiful, vibrant, healthy mouth leads to a longer and more enjoyable life. I love to help people smile with confidence and achieve and maintain the ability to have pleasure in eating effortlessly.
Building meaningful relationships enables me to provide thoughtful guidance and dental treatment that is suited to the needs of each patient. I believe each person determines his or her own level of health. If patients understand their dental condition, they will be in a better position to determine the best course of action that fits with their lifes circumstances.
I always encourage choices that improve health and vitality and slow down the effects of aging. I want to help patients discover and preserve the complete comfort, function, and beauty of their mouth. Sometimes that means eliminating severely compromised teeth in favor of something that feels, works, and looks better.
Dr. Brooksher and his wife, Margaret are deeply committed to their prayer life and church community, St. Aloysius. They have five children and three grandchildren. In their leisure time, Dr. Brooksher and his wife enjoy traveling with family. Dr. Brooksher also enjoys running.
My 20 years in dentistry have afforded me many opportunities to serve in both administrative and clinical positions. I have worked with Dr. Brooksher in all areas of the practice, currently serving as the business manager. I also now have my own dental consulting business and am able to help other dental practices from the experiences I have gained in this great profession!
I grew up in Baton Rouge, attended LSU, and graduated from LSU School of Dentistry in 2003 with a diploma in dental hygiene. After working in New Orleans for a few years, I moved back home to Baton Rouge, where I have been working with Dr. Brooksher since 2008.
Born and raised in Shreveport, LA, Ive always known I wanted to be a dental hygienist. I received my bachelors degree in dental hygiene in 2016 from the University of Louisiana at Monroe and joined Dr. Brookshers family in 2017. Ive always wanted to take part in making those around me smile so I hope youll give me that opportunity!
I was born and raised in Louisiana and have two beautiful children whom are my world. I have been in dentistry since 2006. I started out on the clinical side of the office and have been on the administrative side for the past 3 years. I have a passion and love for dentistry that has changed my life and I am excited to have the opportunity to help it change yours as well. I, as well as our other office staff, look forward to being your dental team!
Im proud resident of the Baton Rouge area. I have been a dental assistant since January 2017 and received my EDDA certification in July of 2017. My passion for dentistry developed from helping my neighbors receive the best dental care and education possible. I always look forward to being the helping hands behind a beautiful, confident smile!

I can't make enough positive comments about Dr. Brooksher and his entire staff from Vanessa at the front desk to the hygienist, technician and everyone I have had the pleasure of dealing with. They are professional, personable, knowledgeable and have gone above and beyond to work with my insurance provider. My dentist of 30+ years retired and I chose Dr. Brooksher because of location. I feel so grateful that I found him.

I am very pleased with the Brooksher Dentistry. Prior to going to Dr. Brooksher last week, I had been experiencing pain in my teeth and gum. Dr. Brooksher and his team provided me with the best skilled and professional service. They were very gentle while doing the extraction. And I was treated with great care and respect. They are the best and excellent. I highly recommend the Brooksher Dentistry!

They are professional, insulting a sense of confidence; however, I was there for nearly three hours. I must say, though, that this was my first visit. So the dentist was obliged to conduct a comprehensive evaluation.
