Meet James Pochron, DDS
Dr. James Pochron has been practicing dentistry since graduating from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1987. But his desire to become a dentist began much earlier—and for a very personal reason.
Growing up, Dr. Pochron dreaded going to the dentist. His own experiences were often uncomfortable, and he remembers feeling as though his concerns about pain weren’t always heard. By the age of 13, he had decided there had to be a better way to care for patients.
That experience shaped the kind of dentist he wanted to become: one who listens, takes the time to explain, and treats every patient with compassion and respect.
Throughout his career, Dr. Pochron has continued to advance his education through extensive postgraduate training, including studies with the renowned Dawson Academy. This training helped him see the bigger picture—identifying problems early, restoring damaged teeth, and preserving a healthy, comfortable smile for years to come.
At Chesapeake Dental, Dr. Pochron combines decades of experience with modern dental technology to provide comprehensive family, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry. Whether helping a patient maintain a healthy smile, repairing years of dental wear, or improving a smile through cosmetic dentistry, his goal is the same: provide thoughtful, personalized care designed to last.
Dr. Pochron also believes patients deserve to understand their dental health. He takes the time to listen, explain treatment options, answer questions, and help patients make informed decisions about their care.
For Dr. Pochron, great dentistry is about more than teeth. It’s about building relationships, earning trust, and treating people the way he wished he had been treated when he was sitting in the dental chair as a child.
Outside the office, Dr. Pochron enjoys spending time with his wife, Tracey, and their son, Chase.
