South Bend, Indiana is such a great place to live, work, and study. From nature preserves like Chamberlain Lake to Notre Dame University from the South Bend Philharmonic to the Studebaker Museum and everything in between our area has so much to offer people of all ages. Its why the team at Joseph Cochran, DDS has chosen to live, work, and study here too! We really want the best for our Michiana friends and neighbors and pledge to add smiling to the list of favorite activities available around here.

When you come through our doors, you may be surprised at the relaxed and laid-back pace you encounter. The truth is, we dont believe that high-quality, advanced care can best be practiced in a fast-paced and rushed atmosphere. For you to really get the kind of dentistry you deserve, you need a team who will take the time to get to know you, listen to your needs, and explain everything in detail.

Our doctor is not only patient and compassionate, but he is also highly trained, creative, and intelligent as well. That means that, together with our outstanding team, Dr. Cochran will come up with the best solutions for your particular needsfrom general preventive dentistry like cleanings and checkups, all the way to cosmetic treatments like porcelain veneers or implant tooth replacements. Plus, Dr. Cochran never stops learning new techniques. He just keeps right on studying!

If pillar of the community is a term you look for when seeking a dental home, this is just the office for you.

People who came to this practice as children are now bringing their childrenand often their grandchildrento see us. We love that our patients trust us that much and we hope you do too!
