Services
Emergency Dental
George S Cochran DDS & Philip E Cochran DDS provides same-day emergency dental services five days a week for sudden toothaches, infections, and dental trauma. Our team handles root canals, broken teeth, and dislodged fillings with immediate attention to alleviate pain and prevent complications. Patients receive priority scheduling for urgent cases.
Invisalign
Our Invisalign treatment offers discreet teeth straightening using custom-made clear aligners. Patients benefit from digital impressions, removable trays, and treatment planning completed entirely in-office. The process addresses crooked teeth, bite issues, and spacing concerns while maintaining normal eating and oral hygiene routines.
Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening services include take-home kits and in-office treatments like Opalescence Boost. These solutions effectively address stains and discoloration with minimal sensitivity compared to over-the-counter products. Both options deliver noticeable results in fewer applications than store-bought alternatives.
Dental Implants
Our dental implant services provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgical placement of titanium posts. This restorative option supports crowns, bridges, or dentures while maintaining jawbone health. The procedure involves careful planning using advanced imaging technology for optimal placement.
Dental Sealants
Dental sealants offer protective coatings for molars to prevent decay in deep grooves. Applied quickly and painlessly, these barriers shield enamel from food particles and bacteria. Particularly recommended for children and teens, sealants provide long-lasting defense against cavities in vulnerable tooth surfaces.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction done. Everyone was so nice! The extraction was painless and very fast. Dr. Ed Pantslaff was very nice and thorough with any questions and the procedure itself. If I lived closer I definitely would make this my go to office!

I hate going to the dentist. It literally gives me anxiety. I had an emergency visit for tooth ache in Toledo at Hires Dental. I met with a traveling hygienist named Yana who was super sweet explained everything and she made me feel comfortable. I was referred to their sister office Napoleon Smiles for the extractions. I met with Dr Ed and he performed my extractions, explaining everything he was doing and ask many times it I was comfortable.

My whole procedure took a little over 45 minutes. The office was really nice and clean. Their receptionist was super sweet and welcoming. I'm sorry I can't remember her name. And as I was leaving after taking care of my bill. They gave me a flower and said anytime you come in to see them they give you a flower when you leave. I thought it was a really sweet touch! Would definitely recommend this office!

Like other reviews stated, this place charges more than they quote. They also did not fix the problem. I had to go to another dentist to get the filling redone after this one was supposed to fix it. I told this office I was not coming back. They had rescheduled me for a cleaning anyway. When they called to confirm that appointment after months, I told them I would not be there. They still sent me a bill for$100 for a "missed appointment." That I had told them TWICE I was not coming to.

I wasn't even going to leave a bad review about the first dental work, because the dentist was going through some health issues, and I thought it was an honest mistake. I could at least give him the benefit of the doubt. But, then this just really pushed it over the edge. I now see from the reviews, and other testimonies, that it's a pattern with this office.
