Women of Distinction: Dr. Niki Cochran

“It always made me happy if people are smiling. Through our smile makeovers and cosmetic procedures, we help people feel comfortable in their own skin and enjoy their smile again.”

Leading a thriving solo dental practice and heading a household as a single mom with four active children, Dr. Niki Cochran not only sets the bar high, she’s able to balance it, too. A native of Cleveland who has spent 23 years in the profession, Cochran knew she wanted to be a dentist since she was 10.

“I’ve always been interested in people’s smiles, making people smile and making people comfortable,” she says. “It’s a little bit more of a challenge because most people have a lot of anxiety when coming to us, but with our calm attitude and compassion we are able to really exceed in our patient care.”
