Dr. Kevin is a lifelong resident of Lebanon, graduating from Lebanon Union High School in 1989. He then attended Oregon State University for college. He married his wife Jodi in August of 1993, before attending Oregon Health and Sciences University in Portland, Oregon. Following graduation from OHSU in 1997, Dr. Kevin joined his father in dental practice in Lebanon.

Dr. Kevin and Jodi have four sons, all of which reside in the area. All four are graduates from East Linn Christian Academy high school, as well as from Oregon State University. The oldest three continued on to earn their DMD’s at Oregon Health Sciences University and are practicing dentists, and their youngest son has degrees in Accountancy and Business Management.

Dr. Kevin has strived persistently to maintain the same traditional family dental philosophy that his father and mother brought to Lebanon in 1975. His father is retired, but he continues that same philosophy of care practicing with his son Kody. He enjoys building and developing long lasting relationships with his patients and he believes that doing so is fundamental to providing great dental care. The modern health care model is evolving and ever-changing, but Dr. Kevin strives to provide modern services with the latest technology while still maintaining an individualized patient-centric philosophy of care. Dr. Kevin believes that spending time getting to know the patient is the cornerstone to providing positive treatment outcomes. He is confident that this approach to dental care will allow him to continue to extend outstanding service and quality treatment to his patients for years to come.

Outside of the Office


Dr. Kevin devotes most of his time outside of work spending time with family, including his wife and his sons and other family as much as he can. While he enjoys and takes part in many different forms of outdoor recreation, he loves his home here in the valley where he can appreciate the still somewhat slow and calm feel it has to offer. He finds relaxation in training his labrador retrievers or an evening walk on one of the hundreds of logging roads in the area. In the spring and summer months frequent visits to Green Peter Reservoir aren’t uncommon, something he’s been accustomed to since his high school years. Most often though, he enjoys the simplicity of relaxing at his home and spending time with his wife.

A dental professional working on dental bridge placed on top of a model of a mouth Do you need to replace one or more adjacent teeth due to decay or damage? If you are ready for a more complete smile, our team can help you achieve this. We know that having missing teeth can hinder your confidence and comfort in social interactions and we want to restore it.

A dental bridge may be a great restoration option for you if you need to replace one or more teeth. Our professionals at Osborne Dentistry offer dental bridges as an intermediate restoration option for patients who have lost teeth or need to have several teeth extracted. This simple and painless restoration can give you back your smile much faster than some other treatment options.

When Are Bridges Used?


A dental bridge is used to "bridge" the gap in your teeth. These bridges consist of a replacement tooth that has a crown on each side of it. A bridge can be made up of just one false tooth, or several depending on your needs and the number of teeth that need to be replaced.

Other restorations, like dental implants, last longer than dental bridges but they require a surgical procedure. Dental bridges are an alternative restoration that is offered to patients who do not need an entirely new smile and may not be up for a surgical procedure. Dental bridges are also a quicker procedure and do not require a long recovery process.

Are There Different Types of Bridges?


There are many variations of dental bridges, but three main types are most common. The first type is typically referred to as a traditional dental bridge and consists of two crowns with one or more pontic teeth in between. This style of the bridge requires that our professional modify the two teeth that are adjacent to your empty space so that the crowns of the bridge can be cemented in place. Since it is held in place by crowns, it provides good bite strength and a secure fit.

However, there are not always teeth located on either side of a gap. When this is the case, a cantilever bridge can be used. This style of bridge is similar to regular bridges but only includes a crown on one side of the prosthetic teeth. These are generally used when replacing teeth towards the back of your mouth.

The third type of bridge is installed without any crowns at all. Instead, it uses metal frames that are attached to the back of teeth that are adjacent to the empty space. This style of bridge is not as strong as regular bridges, but they do not require that your teeth be modified for the placement of crowns.

Do Bridges Last?


Bridges are relatively durable but do not last as long as dental implants. Dental bridges typically last approximately five to 10 years with proper care. Having regular oral exams and practicing good oral hygiene is key to getting the most out of your dental bridge.
