Dr. Bradley Hammitt

Dr. Bradley Hammitt received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry in Richmond, Virginia in 2015. He practiced in rural Orange, Virginia for five years before joining Riley Dental Associates. Coming to Lynchburg was like returning home, as he graduated from Liberty University with his undergraduate degree in Biology in 2011.

He is a member of the American Dental Association (ADA) and its Virginia constituent (VDA), Academy of General Dentistry (AGD) and its Virginia constituent (VAGD), as well as other local organizations. He has served in both the VDA and VAGD in a number of roles in leadership and as part of a delegation, and served as President of the VAGD from 2022-2023.

Dr. Hammitt’s passion for dentistry extends to his love for continuing education, exemplified by earning his Fellowship in the AGD in 2023, which required five hundred hours of didactic and clinical learning. Aside from dentistry, he enjoys racquetball and outdoor activities, as well as spending hours with friends around the kitchen table playing board games. He and his wife Corinn are reconnecting with old friends and making new ones through their church. Dr. Hammitt is excited to continue to use his training and experience to serve the wonderful people of our community.
