Dr. Brent Cornelius, Dentist in Keller, TX
Dr. Brent Cornelius, DDS
Dr. Brent Cornelius has been a dentist in Keller, Texas since he graduated from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1998, and he leads the team at Sky Creek Dental. If it’s been a while since your last visit, or the last one left you dreading the next, this is a good place to start. He begins by asking where you are right now and where you’d like to be, then helps you get there.
Meet Dr. Cornelius
Dr. Cornelius decided to become a dentist in the third grade. A dentist at career day handed out disclosing tablets that turn plaque bright red, and he thought it was the coolest thing he’d ever seen. He went home and told his parents that was the job for him.
He worked as a dental assistant through high school, college and dental school, so he learned this work from the assistant’s side of the chair. It taught him that most people don’t want a lecture. They want someone who looks closely and explains things plainly.
Away from the office, he’s usually with his family or playing bass in the family band, which is where the third-best guitar player in the family ends up. He also loves the Dallas Stars, and he knows hockey is good for business.
Philosophy of Care
Care with Dr. Cornelius starts before any treatment does. He wants to know where you are right now, whether that’s a tooth that hurts or a smile you’ve stopped showing. Then he wants to know where you’d like to be.
Everything else follows from those two answers. You’ll hear what he sees in plain language, you’ll hear your options, and the decision stays with you. He would rather you understand your treatment than simply agree to it.
He finds it rewarding to change how people see themselves, whether that means transforming a smile or restoring health and function. He is proud of the team he has assembled at Sky Creek Dental and the practice they have built together.

What Makes Dr. Cornelius a Good Dentist for Keller Patients
A good dentist explains what he sees in plain language and asks what you want before recommending anything. That’s how Dr. Cornelius has worked with patients since 1998 at Sky Creek Dental.
He also keeps learning. He’s been mentored by some of the finest dentists in the world, and he has earned Master status in the Academy of General Dentistry, which takes extensive continuing education. He also holds Fellow status in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. So when he lays out your options, they reflect current materials and techniques, and you decide what happens next.
Patients can say it better than we can. Read what they’ve written about him and our practice.
