Our Story
Caring for Eastside families for 30+ years
Overlake Family Dentistry carries on the work of Dr. Brian Brooks: honest, gentle, tooth-preserving care in Bellevue's Bel-Red corridor.
Where we come from
Same practice, new name
For more than 30 years, Dr. Brian Brooks cared for families in Bellevue and Redmond. He built the practice on one simple rule: recommend only what a patient needs, and do it gently. Patients stayed with him for decades. Many brought their kids, and some of those kids now bring theirs.
Today Dr. Ravneet Kaur leads the practice. She brings strong clinical skill and the same honest, conservative approach. She is also kind, and patients notice. You'll find her in the same office on NE Bel-Red Road, with the same team at her side.
The practice is now called Overlake Family Dentistry. It was formerly known as the practice of Dr. Brian Brooks, and most of what you know about it hasn't changed. We're in the same office, with the same phone number and the same team. Your records are here. The philosophy is the same too: conservative, tooth-preserving care. If you've been coming for years, your next visit should feel familiar.

What we believe
Five ideas that guide our care
These shaped the practice under Dr. Brooks, and Dr. Kaur holds to them today. You'll see them in how we talk with you and in the plans we suggest.
01
Treat only what needs treating
If a tooth is healthy, we leave it alone. If a small problem can be watched, we watch it and check again at your next visit. You will never hear us push work you don't need. Our job is to keep your mouth healthy, not to fill the schedule.
02
Start with the least invasive option
Natural tooth is worth saving. When a tooth does need care, we look at the smallest fix first. A filling before a crown. A crown before an extraction. We only move to bigger work when a smaller step won't hold up, and we tell you why.
03
Honest answers, and room for a second opinion
We explain what we see in plain words and show you the images. If you want time to think, take it. If you want another dentist to look, we'll send your records. A good plan still makes sense after a second look.
04
Visits that don't feel rushed
We book enough time to do the work well and to talk with you. You can ask questions in the chair, at the front desk, or by phone later. Nobody should leave our office confused about their own teeth.
05
Care for every generation
Many families here have come to us for years, parents first and then their kids. We like that. Seeing a whole family helps us spot patterns, plan ahead, and make visits easier to schedule for busy households.
Your dentist
Meet Dr. Kaur
Dr. Ravneet Kaur began her career in India, where she finished postgraduate training in orthodontics. She moved to the United States in 2014 and earned her DDS from Columbia University College of Dental Medicine in New York City. She has lived and worked in the Pacific Northwest since 2020.
Her approach is honest and minimally invasive. She explains what she sees, shows you the images, and saves natural tooth whenever she can. Outside the office, she likes to travel, read, and spend time with her family, including her twelve-year-old son.
Her orthodontic training helps her notice how teeth and bite fit together. That matters for kids who are still growing and for adults weighing their options.
The people you know
Our team
The team stayed through the transition. Many of them have cared for our patients for a long time, so they already know your name and your history. They'll greet you at the desk, clean your teeth, and help Dr. Kaur during treatment. Kris and Jeannie run the front office and handle scheduling and records. Kristie and Ana do cleanings and teach home care. Marta works chairside with Dr. Kaur. When you call with a question, you'll talk to someone who knows the practice well.

In the chair
What a visit feels like
A visit here should feel calm. We start by asking how you're doing and whether anything has bothered you since last time. Then we look, and we tell you what we find.
When we spot something, we show you. X-rays and photos of your teeth go up on the screen so you can see the same thing we see. We'll explain your options, what each one involves, and what happens if you wait. Then the choice is yours. There's no pressure to decide that day.
If dental visits make you anxious, you're in good company. Let us know when you book. We'll walk you through each step before we start, check in as we go, and pause whenever you need a break. Some patients like to talk through the whole visit, and others prefer quiet. Both are fine.
Before you leave, we'll go over what comes next. That might be a date for your next cleaning, a plan for any work you've chosen, or simply a note to keep doing what you're doing. You'll get the plan in writing if you want it, and you're welcome to call later with questions.
Toddlers to grandparents
Care for every age
We see patients at every stage of life. A toddler's first visit is short and playful, a chance to sit in the chair and meet us. School-age kids get cleanings, sealants, and advice on brushing. Teens and adults get checkups, fillings, and help with a smile they feel good about.
Older patients often have different needs, like caring for crowns, bridges, or gums. We plan with you so your teeth keep working for years. And since the whole family can come to one office, you can often book visits back to back.
One office also means one set of records for the family. We can see how things change over time and plan care that fits each person at each age.

Questions
About the transition and our care
Is this the same practice as Dr. Brooks'?
Yes. Overlake Family Dentistry was formerly known as the practice of Dr. Brian Brooks. Dr. Ravneet Kaur now leads the practice. The office, phone number, team, and way of caring for patients all stayed the same. Only the name on the door changed.
Are my records and X-rays still here?
Yes. Your charts, X-rays, and treatment history stayed with the practice. Dr. Kaur can review them before your next visit, so you won't need to start over. If you ever need copies sent to another office or a specialist, call us and we'll take care of it.
Is the team the same?
Yes. Kris, Kristie, Marta, Ana, and Jeannie have all stayed on. Many of them have worked with our patients for a long time, and they know the families who come here. You'll hear the same voices when you call and see the same faces in the chair.
Are you taking new patients?
Yes. We welcome new patients of all ages, from toddlers to seniors. Call us at (425) 883-3040 to book a first visit. We'll ask a few questions about your dental history and any concerns, then find a time that fits your week.
What does "conservative" dentistry mean?
It means we try to keep as much of your natural tooth as we can. We recommend treatment only when you need it, and we choose the smallest fix that will last. Sometimes the right call is to watch a spot and check it again in six months.
Do you see children?
Yes. We see kids from their first visit, usually around the first birthday or when the first teeth come in. Early visits are short and gentle. They help your child get used to the chair and let us catch small problems before they become big ones.
What if I'm nervous about the dentist?
Tell us. Many of our patients feel the same way. We'll explain each step before we do it, go at your pace, and stop whenever you raise a hand. You can ask to take a break at any time. Nobody here will judge you for how long it has been.
How do I book an appointment?
Call our front office at (425) 883-3040. Kris and Jeannie can find a time, answer questions about your first visit, and help you get your records sent over if you're coming from another office. We're open Monday through Thursday.
