Whether you live near Cascades, Countryside, or one of Sterling’s many established neighborhoods, reaching our office is a realistic part of your routine.
Sterling’s population has grown steadily over recent years, which means more families are looking for a dental practice that can handle everything from routine preventive care to advanced cosmetic and restorative procedures. Cochran Family Dental is set up to do exactly that.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Sterling
Cosmetic dentistry encompasses a range of procedures designed to improve the appearance of your smile, including whitening, veneers, bonding, and more, and is sought by patients of all ages who want to feel more confident in how they look. At Cochran Family Dental, cosmetic care is approached with attention to both aesthetics and long-term oral health.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) reports that a healthy, attractive smile positively affects how patients perceive themselves and how others respond to them, making cosmetic dental care a meaningful investment in quality of life. Whether you are preparing for a major life event, addressing years of wear and staining, or simply ready to refresh your appearance, the cosmetic services at Cochran Family Dental are tailored to your specific goals. Dr. Cochran takes time during the consultation process to understand what you want and to explain which options are most appropriate for your situation.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and Dr. Cochran has completed advanced training in surgical implant placement, restoration, bone preservation, and ridge augmentation grafting to provide comprehensive implant care in-house.
Many dental offices refer implant patients to oral surgeons for the surgical phase and then handle only the restoration afterward. At Cochran Family Dental, Dr. Cochran manages the full process, from initial evaluation and bone grafting when necessary, through surgical placement and final crown placement. This integrated approach reduces the number of offices you need to visit and keeps your treatment plan coordinated from start to finish.
According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS), dental implants have a long-term success rate of approximately 95 percent when placed in appropriate candidates and maintained with proper oral hygiene. Dr. Cochran evaluates each patient individually to determine whether implants are the right choice and explains the process clearly before any treatment begins.
Invisalign in Sterling
Cochran Family Dental is an Invisalign Premier Provider, a designation given by Align Technology to practices that demonstrate a high volume of successful Invisalign cases and ongoing clinical training, which means Sterling patients receive care from a provider with substantial hands-on experience using the system.
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to move teeth gradually into alignment without the brackets and wires of traditional braces. Align Technology’s clinical data shows that Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic concerns, from mild crowding and spacing issues to more complex bite problems, depending on the individual case. Because the aligners are removable, patients can eat without restrictions and maintain their normal brushing and flossing routines throughout treatment. Dr. Cochran will assess your teeth during a consultation and let you know whether Invisalign is a suitable option for your specific alignment needs.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin shells, most commonly made from porcelain or composite resin, that are bonded to the front surface of teeth to correct concerns such as staining, chips, gaps, mild crowding, and irregular shape or size.
Porcelain veneers are crafted in a dental laboratory to match the translucency and color of natural teeth, and they are highly resistant to staining over time. Composite resin veneers can often be completed in a single visit and are a more conservative option for patients whose concerns are less extensive. The process for porcelain veneers typically involves a consultation, preparation of the tooth surface, placement of temporary veneers while the permanent ones are fabricated, and then bonding of the final veneers at a follow-up appointment. Dr. Cochran walks each patient through the process so there are no surprises and so the outcome aligns with what you had in mind from the start.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening at Cochran Family Dental is available as in-office treatment for fast, visible results, or as a take-home system using custom-fitted trays for patients who prefer to whiten on their own schedule.
The American Dental Association (ADA) recognizes teeth whitening as a safe and effective cosmetic procedure when performed under professional supervision using approved bleaching agents. In-office whitening uses a higher concentration of whitening gel, often producing noticeable results in a single appointment, while take-home trays allow patients to whiten gradually over one to two weeks. Both approaches are more effective and longer-lasting than over-the-counter products because the trays are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, ensuring consistent contact between the whitening agent and the tooth surface. Dr. Cochran will recommend the approach that best fits your schedule and your goals.
Dental Crowns and Bridges
Cochran Family Dental offers same-day dental crowns using Cerec technology, and Dr. Cochran has completed advanced Cerec training, allowing eligible patients to receive a permanent porcelain crown in a single visit rather than waiting two to three weeks for a lab-fabricated restoration.
Dental crowns are used to restore teeth that are cracked, severely decayed, or structurally compromised, and they are also placed on top of dental implants to complete the restoration. Bridges are a time-tested solution for replacing one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth to crowns placed on the teeth on either side of the gap. With Cerec, Dr. Cochran can design, mill, and place a permanent ceramic crown in the same appointment, eliminating the need for a temporary crown and a second visit. For patients from Sterling who are managing busy schedules, same-day crowns are a practical option that reduces time away from work and family.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does cosmetic dentistry cost in Sterling?
The cost of cosmetic dental treatment varies depending on which procedures you need and how many teeth are involved. Teeth whitening is typically the most affordable option, while veneers and implants represent a larger investment. Cochran Family Dental provides detailed cost information during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect before any treatment begins.
Does Cochran Family Dental accept dental insurance?
Cochran Family Dental works with many dental insurance plans. Coverage for cosmetic procedures varies by plan, but services like crowns, bridges, and implants may have partial coverage depending on your benefits. The team can help you understand your coverage and discuss financing options for any out-of-pocket costs.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment length depends on the complexity of the alignment concerns being addressed. Many patients complete treatment in 12 to 18 months, though mild cases can sometimes be finished sooner. Dr. Cochran will give you a more specific timeline estimate after reviewing your teeth during a consultation.
What should I expect at my first visit to Cochran Family Dental?
Your first visit typically includes a thorough examination, X-rays if needed, and a conversation with Dr. Cochran about your oral health history and any cosmetic or restorative goals you have. The goal of that first appointment is to get a complete picture of where your dental health stands and to discuss a plan that fits your needs and your schedule.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults in good general health who have one or more missing teeth are potential candidates for dental implants. Key factors include adequate bone density in the jaw, healthy gums, and the absence of uncontrolled systemic conditions that could affect healing. Dr. Cochran evaluates each patient individually and can discuss bone grafting options if bone volume is a concern.
How is Invisalign different from traditional braces?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable plastic aligners instead of metal brackets and wires bonded to the teeth. This means the aligners can be taken out for eating and cleaning, and they are much less noticeable than traditional braces. Traditional braces may still be recommended for certain complex orthodontic cases, and Dr. Cochran will let you know which option is appropriate for your situation.
