What is Mercury?
Mercury is a toxin that has been identified as an environmental hazard, and linked to several serious and costly health problems. Amalgam fillings and other metals may contain trace amounts of mercury that could enter your bloodstream and have a serious negative impact on your oral and overall health. At Cochran Family Dental, we work to keep our patients safe from mercury exposure and the health risks that the toxin causes.
Mercury-Free Dentistry
Amalgam fillings are dental fillings that use metal to restore teeth and fill in cavities. At our practice, we never use amalgam fillings because these fillings may contain mercury. Our practice uses only white fillings that are completely mercury-free. Our white fillings restore damaged or decayed teeth and look completely natural. The white filling has a tooth like appearance and makes fillings less noticeable. The dental fillings we use in our office have a similar shade and texture to your regular teeth. No one will even be able to tell that you’ve had a filling, and you can feel confident in our mercury-free dentistry.
Some health risks associated with mercury exposure include:
- Cardiovascular issues
- Neurological disorders
- Collagen diseases
- A weakened immune system
- Allergies to food, the environment and chemicals

Dr. Cochran and his staff are the best! We have been blessed to be cared for by Cochran Family Dental for 8 happy years! They are wonderful to our children and family and make us all feel very comfortable and make the dental appointments easy!
Dr. Cochran and his team have been the first dentist for many of our children and all of them have enjoyed the special prizes and cleaning bag to take home, getting their teeth counted and cleaned, and wearing the fun glasses while in the chair. As a parent, I truly appreciate their kindness and meeting children at their level. It is heartwarming and starts off dental care in a gentle and caring way to prevent fears and encourage positive dental hygiene for life!
We are a large family and Bethanne is our scheduling guru and truly helps us with any issues or concerns that we may have with aplomb! She is incredibly helpful and kind and a delight to work with whenever we are in need of dental care. We love talking to her whenever we come in for our appointments!
Therese is a gifted dental technician and is just a sweetheart of a person! Our entire family is very well taken care of by her during our dental cleanings and care! She is thorough and gentle; perfect for detail cleanings and care!
Dr. Cochran is wonderful and kind in his education and care of us as his patients and does so well making any procedure we may need as simple and comfortable as possible! He is very good in dealing with children of all ages as well as adults.
We couldn't be happier with this wonderful practice and highly recommend them to others!

Friendly and helpful reception, quick and comprehensive analysis of my dental issue. Dr Cochran took time from his vacation to address my dental emergency, and I came away with a complete understanding of what was going on, and a plan to address it. This was my first visit to his office, and I was very impressed.

Cochran dental checkup is always friendly, and on top of things. I've never been left waiting for long, and they make sure I'm comfortable with each step of the cleaning.

Cochran Family Dentistry is a “first-rate”practice! My wife has been a patient here for years, and I am thankful she referred me.
I moved to the area in 2021 after previously enjoying regular, free, high-quality dental care in the military my entire adult life. I went to another dental practice in Ashburn 14 months ago for xrays and a cleaning, and really did not like the experience one bit. “Pushy” “pricey” and “impersonal” are descriptors I never thought I would use when referring to a dental practice. Having to repeatedly decline the same “optional” treatments during the same visit leaves a bad taste in one’s mouth.
Thankfully, Dr. Cochran and his team are the exact opposite of this, and I am so thankful to be a new patient of theirs! If you long for that nostalgic “hometown dentist” feel thst you experienced growing up in the U.S.A., then pick up the phone and book an appointment with Cochran Family Dental! 🇺🇸

My Dentist always does a great job, she friendly, efficient and makes my cleaning and check up a pleasant experience. The Dr. also checks things open and he is great to talk to. I’d recommend this place to anyone. My family goes here as well.

Dr. Brian Cochran, DDS is an exceptional dentist who provided a pain-free and highly professional root canal experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt calm and well cared for. Dr. Cochran took the time to explain every step of the procedure, ensuring I was comfortable and informed throughout. His gentle approach and attention to detail made what I expected to be a stressful experience completely manageable. The office staff was friendly, efficient, and made scheduling easy. I was seen promptly. The results have been excellent—no pain, no complications, and a tooth that feels strong and natural. I highly recommend Dr. Cochran to anyone needing a root canal or any dental care. He truly puts patient comfort and quality care first.
